Anybody bragging in early November about where there team stands ad nauseam has no experience seeing a consistent winning team of their own.

I like trying to help educate those of low intelligence.
Sure, it's a burden, but somebody has to do it...

You better get educated about the game of basketball, especially if you can't see that the East is stronger than the West this season...

There are five teams in the East (Bucks, Sixers, Celtics, Heat and Raptors) that would make it to the West playoffs and then another 13 teams (all but the Knicks) that will fight for a playoff seed in the East... In the West, other than the Warriors which are at a respective to the Knicks level, the Grizzlies, the Wolves and the Kings will all be boxing sacs this season.

Really isn’t.

He didn’t need to be an X and O guy. That can be delegated.
Great.....but comparing a coach calling plays and designing an offense/defense to a 7-2 guy who didn't shoot 3s when he played much of his career when there were no 3s taken?

Even for you. You say everyone mans up when he is shown his "logic" is off base.

Let's see if you back that here.

It's okay, buddy, we got you.
This thinking and typing at the same time thingee can be hard on some folks.
Just take your time.

Next season, when the Nets and the Pacers will be added to make it seven contenders for the East, the entire West will look awful... It will basically be a Zoroland contest for who will survive and get humiliated by an East team (the Bucks of course) in the finals...

I was born here, my family is here. Believe me, with the winter hitting yesterday, I wouldn't still live here otherwise. My 6 months in San Diego (living in my brother's school apartment) were beautiful, if under-employed unfortunately. He's back in Rochester too.

Hey, at least Rochester had an NBA franchise (and a championship) lol, minor league franchises in baseball and hockey, an hour from the Bills, etc. Watcha got out there on the prairie?

Beautiful scenery, Glacier National park, hunting and fishing (if you like it, not my cup of tea), world class restaurants about 15 minutes away in a resort location called White Fish, tours, museums, and more.

^ That seems like the common wisdom out there... but...

Celtics currently have the best record in the NBA, they've already beaten Milwaukee, and they have had 1 to 2 to 3 guys injured every game so far this young season...

... we haven't even seen a fully healthy version of this team yet, and they're still pretty damn good.

The above tweet doesn't even mention Jaylen Brown... like he's chopped liver or something. JB as the 4th best guy on your team means a lot of quantity and quality at the top of a roster.

Maybe, just maybe... a fully healthy Gordon Hayward (which the C's have never really had before) plus another year of maturation from Tatum and Brown... the C's might already be there.

Philly will be the main challenge in the East, of course. They're a very strong team. But not invincible...
Originally thought Love might be a nice piece but was pointed out Heyward playing a lot of the 4.

TT? Maybe we can work something out and send it to Ainge/Kobe?

course they aren't. they ain't the Bucks, after all. Milwaukee is not just invincible, either. they're also the free agent capital of the NBA and the most powerful force in the EASILY superior Eastern Conference...

just ask your bud Buckalis about it sometime. he'll tell you...:heh:
This is kooky talk......someone here can still have a post seen by buckalis?

Not my thing (out door stuff) but sounds nice. Being from NE Ohio I'm one who would never rip a city/area if I've never been there.

Your fantasies have no interest to me. But hey, at least you changed your avatar to actually show your team allegiance, since you'd rather claim two colleges in your team images. No more being mistaken for a Cavs fan (shudders).

If you think or thought I was a Cavs fan you're as dumb as wiggy. As far as teams I root for, why do you care? I'm a lifelong Ohio State fan originally from Ohio & when I lived in the Vegas area I was a UNLV season ticket holder.

Family puts a lot of us in cities we wouldn't normally choose. How many would actually choose high taxes AND winter like we have here in NY? I still think we should call NYC it's own state and let it fend for itself, tax-wise lol.

It's not easy to keep everyone's rooting interest straight here, and most will actually display their rooting interest which helps. You always take offense to any Cavs connection, could make it easier on yourself lol.
