Watching Duncan Robinson hitting 3's is ruining my Christmas morning.

Yep another setback after missing all last season. Sucks but the Cavs have so much depth they will be ok. I thought he could be an important bench piece though

No doubt he wont really affect wins/losses but sucks for him and I'm sure team wants to evaluate him. Though think this type of injury might only be a couple weeks.

I wouldn't trade Harden for Brown straight up...

... which isn't to say that Harden isn't a better player in a vacuum.

Real world isn't a vacuum, though. When you factor in contract, age, head-on-their-shoulders, etc.... we should keep Brown and look to use the trade exception elsewhere... 10 times out of 10.

I wouldn’t either.

Just don’t rule out that Ainge might be considering this IF he doesn’t believe the Celtics can win a title as is.

Man, Brandon Ingram keeps getting better. He looks like an all star.

Like Shane said though, NO isn’t going anywhere if they don’t tighten up defensively. They just don’t communicate well in transition or defend simple actions very well.

Yep Ingram is a budding star and he can shoot the 3 now very efficiently. Ingram and Zion is a nasty young combo. Lonzo seems to be improving and his shot is better looking out of his hand. Still a very young team, it will take time for that team defense to be in sync but I like the makeup of this team right now

Holiday trivia time.

Who scored the most points in the 1980's?

Thought the Bucks were the Mavs for a second due to the jerseys they're wearing

i think your Warriors probably make the playoffs but there is certainly no guarantee.

1. Clippers
2. Lakers
3. Nuggets

those teams will def. have better records

I think its likely the Mavericks, and Blazers have better records.

then there is that next group with GSW, Utah, Houston, Phoenix, that all look like they are going to be pretty decent. Houston may be too much of a mess but Harden/Wall/Cousins/Gordon COULD be something- or it could be a disaster.

Id probably pick the Warriors as like the 6th seed...maybe 7th.....but i dunno. Could get hairy. Kings are gonna be scrappy. I think San Antonio is heading no where but they do have some veteran talent and will win some games because of Pop and vets that know what they are doing. Memphis and New Orleans are prob a year or two away but they both are interesting at least.

Idk man, they could be in a dogfight just to get into the playoffs.

Right now I would say all these teams are better: LAL, LAC, DEN, DAL, UTA, PHX, POR. That’s 7 teams: the Pels, Grizz, Kings and GS likely going for that 8th spot.

Right now without Klay I would go as far as liking the Cavs roster more...of course Curry is an obvious guy you would take over anyone on the Cavs roster but this GS roster doesn’t look great

I'll take "Teams that are about to have fewer championships than the Lakers" for $1000 Alex.

Wiseman's got great form on his 3 point shot.

Dubs trying to hang in there, but the Bucks looking like they might be too much...

Oh damn. My bad. You're right.
