Wheels coming off the bus in Utah as of late.

They almost came all the way back against the Spurs.

Time to decide if they are buyers or sellers,

Seriously, if the Bulls or Indy blow it up, Clippers need to target Turner or Vuvecic.

They aren’t getting out of the West as currently constructed.

Shit, depending on the matchup, they might not get out on the 2nd round.

Denver, Suns, Memphis all clearly better.

Pelicans are a matchup made in the hottest depths of hell.

Go for Turner.

Vuc is kinda washed.

Clips have A LOT of work to do

They do.

Lots of time to figure it out though.

West is so wide open this year. Can make a case for at least half a dozen teams winning it.

Going to be interesting.

I don’t think you can truly appreciate what we’re on the precipice of. Do you remember back in 2019 when @tlance said that Jared Allen was a “solid” player? Bwahahaha! Look at him now! He leaps small buildings in a single bound. He is a human bullet train. There’s a lid on the rim. Kevin Love is the greatest 30 million dollar bench piece the NBA has ever seen. The Mitchell Garland combo will be the talk of the NBA for the next 10 years. All of these pieces are so young. The Cavs have arrived. I know it’s just a few days after Christmas but I don’t think it’s too early to be talking dynasty here. The Cavs won’t win 5 in a row or anything. Their dynasty will just be 7 championships inside of a decade. The Cavs have finally done it!

Point Guard Harden has averaged 12+ assists per game since coming back from injury. Now they have to find a way to seamlessly insert Maxey back into the group without sacrificing the defense they’ve found recently.

the numbers are the numbers.


Actually, if you look at the decade from 2010 through 2019 (the last year that Census data is available), the number is even bigger. It shows a net number of 885,000 people moving to Texas -- about 303,000 of which were from California.
That means 34 percent of new Texas residents are migrating from California.
When you look at all the places Californians are leaving for, you can see Texas is number one. But research from UCLA shows they're also bolting in large numbers to the adjacent states of Arizona, Nevada, Washington and Oregon.
Yes, Californians are coming to Texas. But they're going to lots of other places too.



thats not the only article either- there are tons of them with a simple google search.

Less than 1 percent of the state's population (300K of 39M+), not exactly a mass exodus. With the limited supply of real estate available near cities creating long commutes (and the availability to work from home), a 0.7% trickle of people have moved to other states. California's population still grew overall according to the census (0.57% to 39.995M).

Wait … what?

You said no star players would ever play in NY cause of the Dolans, and looks like they will be around for a very long time .

You posted you cannot win a ring without a star player

Now, you confidently post the Knicks will win before the cavs?

Dolan can't live forever

There's no way of predicting when the Lakers will win a game. Their defense just disappears for long periods of time, Ham puts 5 guard lineups on the floor, etc. If management doesn't get off their duff very soon, it won't matter anyway.

At least the Rams provided some entertainment to cleanse the pallet, lol.

Or he could've deferred to Clyde, the correct answer.

I disagree.

Drexler was a very good player on some good teams.

At the very least it is debatable between Lillard and Drexler.

And if you take away the championship that a post prime Drexler rode Hakeem’s coat tails to, it is actually pretty close.

It is however the safe answer for Dame so as to not seem egotistical. Fair argument for fans, sure.
