Quiet night from Tatum, but we are so balanced, we can overcome that

I really like Langford. He didn't score well, but did a little of everything else. He stays on the court because he can defend. He's getting Semi's minutes right now, and I'm okay with it

I think the West is deeper. The East has 3 or 4 really good teams. The celtics, Bucks, Sixers, heat, Pacers, raptors! Lakers, clippers, rockets? Who am I missing

Quiet night from Tatum, but we are so balanced, we can overcome that Why did you say”night”? That game was on 9am pst. I hate when announcers say that as well when it’s clearly daytime in all time zones and when it was played during the day.

Well anyway, if you just look at the records they stack up pretty well The Warriors, Thunder and Spurs are all down this year, so on second thought, perhaps the East may be stronger this year.

8th place 14-17 Certainly not contenders At this point. THey could go on a run and get help. You never know who is going to get better at the deadline. I think the conferences are closer this year than they have been, and wouldnt necessarily say the West is better. We have to see how Oladipo looks when he comes back. If he comes back like Hayward did his first year back, and is rusty/not himself vs if he comes back and starts balling like he was pre-injury. If Oladipo is playing like Oladipo, the Pacers are dangerous.

Im glad im not the only one who wants nothing to do with Adams at his contract. I think Noel or Poeltl are better targets because we dont have to match a high salary, and therefore dont have to overpay jsut to accumulate enough outgoing salary. Also, they both are much more mobile and athletic than Adams. They are also better at getting blocks.

He's getting Smarts minutes not Semis . Grant Williams gets Semi's minutes. This begs the question however and i agree Langford plays good D. Does this make Smart replaceable and what would a package of Smart Semi and our late pick buy us?. Valančiūnas? Probably not. The money works but i see them wanting their pick back,,, Both Noel and Poeltl make less than 5 mil and Smarts contract isn't needed. Cheap way out I think Ainge is big on insurance ''Double Indemnity '' for SGs and SFSs and make no major move... Just a guess .

Sister Rosetta Tharp and that cheap Japanese guitar rock Cole... My guess three old DeArmond pickups and a Silvertone Sears amp at best. Just think what Robert Johnson would have done with a Strat and a Fender Twin.... More my liking that Root Boy or Black Oak..

He's off the table, back to the drawing board! I don't like Valanciunas, I wouldn't even trade Smart for him! If Wlliams could stay healthy. He may be our answer!!

bleacherreport.com/articles/2858459-br-nba-player-rankings-top-15-centers-for-2019-20#slide1This is a pretty good ranking. Has Valanciunas as 14th best Center in league. I would put him 13 and move Brook Lopez off the list. Brook is a lousy rebounder is out there for threes more than anything. He can barely run or jump these days. I also happen to think that Turner, Aldridge, and Adams are a bit too high on the list. Regardless, I think Valanciunas is somewhere between the 12th best and 15th best C in the NBA.

We got 25 points and 17 rebounds out of Theis and Kanter yesterday!! Kanter could probably double , double every game if given minutes, but how many points would he give up?
