wow beautful

the ol 50 foot scoop pass

yeah i'm gonna enjoy this dude

i think the clips will be good this year (shouldn't have to say 'if healthy' but it's def a big caveat for them)

5-6 seed in the west.

Think I'm going:

Warriors
Rockets
Spurs
Thunder
Clippers
Wolves
Blazers
Nuggets

having a hard time with the Jazz, thinking they will be fighting for one of those bottom two spots? But unless donovan mitchell and rodney hood really show out on offense I dont see them having enough scoring to beat anyone of note.

looks abt right to me

think the clips will struggle

they may. def the biggest gamble in my list. but adding two solid pros in Gallo and Pat Bev was good. And Dekker is solid. I always go back to Blake tearing it up when CP was down for a while that one time but cant remember if that was just an easy schedule or something.

jazz will make the nba playoffs

jazz dont have a legit nba 2nd scoring option on their roster much less a 1st

you can't just call yourself 'wise man' cmon

dick wise man, nonetheless

lol

manu not otm. he's one of the most memorable players the league has ever had

He snatched a bat out of midair for Christ sake

otm

bats are sorta slow, but they can turn on a dime

i think the clippers will continue to be my second team this year

im curious to watch the rockets and the wolves

the nuggets also cld be fun

okc seems like they might be a slog but i wish them well, its wld be cool if they found some chemistry

i'm prob gonna ping pong b/w the sixers and twolves

rookies im interested in keeping my eye on (non celtics)
lonzo
fox
ben simmons
dennis smith

the situation in nola is interesting from a player movement perspective, boogie on the last year of his contract, if him and brow cant figure things out he cld be on the move 4 cheap, cld end up shaking the whole playoff picture up

Boogie is bad tho

The score and result could not matter less, and the basketball on display will turn your stomach. Instead, below, on the left, behold true horror: a list of the nine Bulls who logged at least 19 minutes of playing time in that loss.

Holy moly. Look at these bozos. A WebMD list of possible causes of bleeding eyesockets has more to feel good about on it than this list of Chicago Bulls. Swap out these names for the names of the nine current Supreme Court justices and last night’s final score doesn’t change by more than 10 points. These dinguses couldn’t beat a bowl of eggs.

lol

the east is really bad this year, at least one team with no star players is gonna back into an okay season. im thinking it has to be the hawks or nets

hakws are gonna be so trash

are they clearly worse than any of the bulls, pacers, magic, knicks, or nets?

there's also the sixers who people like to pretend will be finally good but they're still starting a bunch of guys who have not played 100 basketball games yet. hornets and heat aren't particularly loaded either.

the nets are gonna be total garbage this year, let's be real

the east has 5 playoff teams right now

Celts
Cavs
Wiz
Raps
Bucks
Heat
Hornets
76ers/Pistons

thats my predix

Nets are gonna be ok, they were totally not awful late last year and have a good coach and picked up som actual talent

Bulls might be my pick for worst record. That roster is hideous, just...lordy

Manu will be remembered at the very least for taking the euro step from obscurity to a standard part of every wing players arsenal

Also he was really fucking good for a long time and won a bunch of rings so take that manu

your 2017-18 Chicago Bulls

Ryan Arcidiacono
Antonio Blakeney
Kris Dunn
Jarell Eddie
Cristiano Felicio
Jerian Grant
Justin Holiday
Jaylen Johnson
Bronson Koenig
Zach LaVine
Robin Lopez
Lauri Markkanen
Nikola Mirotic
David Nwaba
Cameron Payne
Quincy Pondexter
Bobby Portis
Diamond Stone
Denzel Valentine
Paul Zipser

that's a fictional team from a video game

lol

maybe its finally the magics year

whats the worst playoff record ever

one wld think the pistons cld put a dece season together, and yet

Diamond stone?!?

I'm almost sure I recognize five names on that Bulls roster.
