the model doesn't know what's going on w/ the suns & shorting the warriors is prob not a bad idea tho to the degree of under .500 is prob a bit extra. the thing is that all these teams in projections and at the end of the season are going to be separated by like 2 games in any direction so what needs to happen (random injuries) for the projections to be off is pretty small

wonder why espn stats thinks the dubs are going to fall off, just age maybe, i mean they were +5.5 last year with a bunch of injuries, think they mightve even won the chip too

ESPN noticed that Gary Payton II left GSW and made adjustments accordingly?

After a trade like that you have to wonder which of the players involved won't be in the league at the start of the season.

It’s just an exhibition game… But the Adelaide 36ers just beat the Phoenix Suns 134-124. Perimeter defense will likely be a thing of emphasis for the Suns as Adelaide made 24 of 43 3-pointers.

It appears the Adelaide 36ers are the first non-NBA team to win a preseason game (134-124 at the Phoenix Suns) in the U.S. since Fenerbahce beat Brooklyn in October 2015: https://t.co/GY8GDYGj1B— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) October 3, 2022
Adelaide is also apparently the first team based outside of Europe to win a preseason game against an NBA team in the period tracked by @nbastats (back to the 2005-06 preseason).— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) October 3, 2022

if i was a betting person id be smashing the under on suns wins. has a team with this poor of vibes heading into a season been able to beat their odds?

also assuming crowder is indeed done there they have prob the biggest chasm between the starting 5 and bench of any team in the league. their sixth best player is… shamet? saric? i just don’t like their roster. james jones is not good at his job

The Lakers 'seriously considered' sending Russell Westbrook and their two unprotected first-round picks (2027 and 2029) to the Pacers for Myles Turner and Buddy Hield, per @ShamsCharania, @jovanbuha and @sam_amick Rob Pelinka chose to "remain patient" to see how L.A. jells pic.twitter.com/fa5KFg4X6m— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) October 3, 2022

somebody should trade for those two players. just not sure it should be the lakers. and def not for two unprotected picks

the fact that the mavs went into the offseason with the singular goal of only acquiring centers and apparently did not ever attempt to get myles turner remains extremely confusing to me

even putting the brunson stuff aside their offseason was bizarre
― J0rdan S., Monday, 3 October 2022 17:39 (one year ago) link
i feel like i watched a different playoffs than their front office idk. their whole second half push was a combo of having small mobile centers who could make their defense fully switchable and two guards to go along w/ luka who could shoot and get their own shot. so their offseason plan was to sign two traditional centers and not replace brunson. got it
― J0rdan S., Monday, 3 October 2022 17:42 (one year ago) link
i am pretty skeptical that their ex-nike guy front office has any idea what they're doing

Karl-Anthony Towns didn't go into deep detail about what he's been through, but said he only started walking again after his non-covid illness on Saturday. He's down to 231 pounds.

If the illness was "on Saturday" it sounds like food poisoning and puking his guts out.

Karl-Anthony Towns didn't go into details about his illness, but said he was in the hospital. Cleared to just walk again Saturday. When asked if he was worried about missing camp, the season, he said: "There was more drastic things to worry about than basketball at that moment."— Chris Hine (@ChristopherHine) October 3, 2022
