I know we don't do "what we learned"/overreactions for the NBA like we do for football, but if we did:

I think there's a chance the C's could be last year's 76ers. They'll try to compete for about half a year or so, realize it's futile, tap out for the rest of the season and probably walk into a T3 pick. Which would be infuriating, but hey...

Speaking of Philly - I'd like to think if they stay healthy (:francis:) and VJ has the impact I believe he can, they're easily an ECF threat. But man, I hope Embiid's just working his way into game shape or something, 'cause that was rough.

Wemby’s performance completely deaded all the Flagg hype…crazy
Still don’t know why Flagg was drafted number 1. Like I watched him play live in the ncaa tournament when it came through Raleigh and while he did good things, I didn’t see a number 1 pick. We will see what he does this year, but these teams ain’t James Madison and them no more.

Celtics have no quality bigs and they're starting Pritchard

He balled out against half speed pros during the olympic warm ups. He got game, but Dallas not doing him any favors.

Like I was saying in the game thread...I think he'll be a very good player (a core piece for the Mavs going forward)...he's just not a generational talent which everyone can't be, and he shouldn't be hyped as one or compared to one.
