About the Lakers? Certainly not. I was saying there how absurd it was anybody would consider them favorites (including Vegas).
About the Warriors? It will take me a lot more than 10 games to call them championship contenders. They’ve been great so far largely due to Curry having his best season in 6 years and returning to MVP level. Let’s see if he keeps it up, that won’t be easy to maintain at his age. If he does and Klay comes back to his regular level, we can certainly revisit. |

Lakers can’t stop a Miami Heat team with no Butler. Filling your team with a bunch of washed players was not the best idea.

RE: Morris/Jokic.
I didn't hear about it until today when I heard it on a couple podcasts. Jokic was probably excessive, but Russillo said it best. The Morris twins don't get any leeway when they literally **** with everybody. ****ing Eastern Europeans man. They're...different. I know you think Philly is tough, but Eastern Europeans have known nothing but suffering since the dawn of ****ing civilization. That's just a different kind of tough baked into that bread. Quote:

They were offering him 2/15 or something close. He got offers from Chicago and a couple other teams. Took them back to LA and said here's what I'm being offered but I'm willing to take a discount to stay and they still couldn't get it done. |

I’m not going to completely discount those statistical projections based on 10 games, no. That’s not the way any of this works.

GSW are the best team right now and are a pretty deep team even without Klay and Wiseman. Wiseman is supposed to be back here in a couple of weeks and Klay is projected to come back by Christmas or a little earlier. When he steps back on the court I might cry a little.

Not asking you to do that. But 11 games in is enough time to admit that the lack of depth you were banking on doesn't look like such a big problem.

It's pretty crazy that Washington is playing well. Beal, Dinwiddy, and Laker leftovers doesn't sound like a winning combination, but it's working so far.

I don't think most people realized how much Lavine improved last year. He's looking like a Top 5 player in the league right now.
