What a wholesome post.

Tatum has a mare, but PP says hold my beer.

This team man deep and dangerous.

No one can match our firepower.

 

[Soups]

That was some game from PP. Deep on the buzzer is his jam.

If this is true I'm very happy.

All perk does is talk shit about us then jumps on the bandwagon once we win.

Bro has all 30 teams going to the nba finals, he is a clown.

I don't think we've been playing that well overall but still finding ways to win for the most part. Stepped it up against Cavs to prove a point but have been pretty lacklustre against some other poorer opposition. Of course, every team will bring their best against us but it feels like we've been getting over the line due to Tatum putting us on his back (and to a lesser extent Brown a couple of times).

White has been outstanding although a bit quieter the last week or so and Pritchard has been very good too coming on when the team has been struggling and igniting us with some quick scoring. Quetta was good in one game (can't remember which) and then been pretty poor since. The sooner KP comes back the better but in the meantime we'll keep doing enough to win more than we lose.

Having some lackluster games with the second best record in the league while missing one of our main players, can't complain at all.

Besides rather they play somewhat lackluster now than when it matters most and preserve themselves until then.

100%, no point burning out now it's a long season!

I posted the above before seeing today's game, didn't realise there was one on. Just finished it and thought it was a lot better, still a little bit of sloppiness but nowhere near some of our other games. That first 5 minutes by Brown was amazing, when he hit that 5th 3 the crowd went berserk.

A much more rounded game today, really is difficult to find a weakness when the bench players are contributing like they have been, I'm not a big fan of Hauser and Tillman wouldn't get many minutes if KP/Kornet were healthy but couldn't fault their games much today.

Started off slow but put the Clippers to the sword and by the 2nd quarter it was almost game over. So good to see KP back although a bit rusty early, he is such a weapon both sides of the ball. I was sceptical about bringing him back early but hopefully they ease him in over the next couple of months to make a run after the all star break.

Prichard again the igniter coming off the bench and JT/JB just getting things done, good to see Tatum in particular driving to the basket more.

White continues to be his consistent self while Holiday has room for improvement. Still sitting in a good spot to go back to back albeit still early in the season.

Saw a rumour somewhere that we might bring in Seth Curry and DeAndre Jordan for depth. I don't mind either honestly but do we need Jordan this season? Seth I get as he slides straight into that bench 2 position

Holiday/White/JB/JT/KP
PP/Seth/Hauser/Al

That's a very strong 9.

Seth i can understand but Jordan might be far fetched we have just brought KP back, big Al is still doing his thing and we have Kornet and Queta off the bench so doubt Jordan will be happening unless one of them get injured but he doesn't get minutes over them at all.

Only broke an NBA record for most points in a quarter haha.

We are scary with a healthy 5 so well balanced in every position.

If we do not go back to back this season has been a failure simple.

 

[Soups]

PP is having some kinda season. Glad he stayed.

Later down the track maybe a season or two he could be starting over Holiday depending how much Holiday declines.

Such a great backup and definitely so far sixth man of the year.

 

[Borough Blood]

Only just lost to Cavs in Cleveland with no JB or White. We’re still taking any team in the East in 7.

Any team in 5.

I was being generous

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Good win today, Bucks got on top after trailing early and felt like we were struggling to get the go ahead points, then Tatum turns it on at the start of the last quarter and off we go. He is such a beast, loving his play at the moment. Surely he'll give the MVP a shake?

 

[eth-dog]

Bucks are the second best team in the East IMO. Really rate their depth

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Almost came back and pinched it against Memphis but they were the better team and were on top for large periods. Morant and Jackson Jr (especially late) killed us.

We were very sloppy which made sense considering 5 games in 7 days. Not much to worry about from that point of view but I thought their tactic of leaving Holliday alone to throw bricks all game is something to watch.

Liked the ovation Smart got from the crowd, would've been nicer if we didn't send him home with a win.

I think the cavs would give them a decent run for their money.

 

[Jack Richards]

So inconsistent

 

[Memphis]

Just a friendly reminder we traded josh richardson, romeo langford and two 1st round picks for this guy.
