Sixers lose to Nets. Bucks lose to Pacers. Raptors play Warriors tonight.

All of a sudden, just 1 game back of the 2 seed and 4 back of 1st (could be 3.5 if Toronto loses tonight)  ;D

Shaping up to be a great night for us
Kings are winning

lol you're reaching and are usually a more nuanced contrarian than this poor effort.
If the season ended today we'd have picks 18, 20, 22 and 23 in a draft called weak.  Kinda a shame.  Not much value in picks in those range.  G-League roster could be lit, tho.
Luckily the season doesn't end today. Memphis(losers of 6 of last 10 games) and LAC(losers of 4 of last 6 games) are trending down after their hot start. And Sactown might have the most difficult schedule in the league over the next month. In 2 months, those picks may be extremely valuable.

Didn’t you know we are pretty much out of the running for the top record and the picks are worthless already? After all, it’s almost the middle of December.

I’m surprised this forum survived a 10-10 start.

I think you can really tell the mental/emotional drain that the past four finals runs have done to this Warriors team. They just don't look to have the same energy or intensity this year, and a lot of the time they look like they're just going through the motions.
Yeah, their depth is really quite terrible. Iggy is basically a non-factor for them now, Livingston is slowing, their other backup guards aren’t noteworthy (although I like Cook) and their only starting caliber 5 (not counting Dray) is Boogie, who could be absolutely anything when he returns.

They were a healthy CP3 from perhaps losing the WCF, and they’ve regressed since then.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

best case scenario for the kings pick is probably the 9th best lotto odds.  A lot of competition in the West will make it difficult for them to make the playoffs.

Still very annoying to see them winning so much.

For reference. We still have best odds to win east per
Vegas. Toronto is second. Bucks are third and 76ers are 4th. This is per sportsbook, one of the biggest sites. I feel it is a bit silly to call Philly the favorites right now, both given those odds and the fact that Toronto has curb stomped them and the warriors so far. That being said larbrd is incredible how

We are going to thrash the league this year when playoffs come.

We have just started to heat up, we still have a lot of room to grow and we have the same number of loses as GSW (finals HC here we come!), Philly, and just one more than "uber-hot all fascinating" Bucks.

Media, the majority of fans, they never learn. You don't peak in November, as you won't be able to sustain it. You try to peak after the all-star break, March. Then you hopefully keep it for the next 2/3 months.

We know.
But we are the Celtics afterall.

My dvr was twitchy and simple miscellaneous moments throughout the game.  Besides that I'd say I had an average to slightly above average night.  Thanks for asking.
Yup

If Durant or Curry get hurt they’re done. They have ZERO depth.

Is it the Warriors losing it or is the Raptors are really just that good?.. didn't see the game but to dust them Warriors who were actually complete by a Kawhi-less Craptors, then something musthave happened to one or the other.

Clippers down 15 in third. A loss would be their 5th in 7 games. Tracking downward and helping our pick.

As long as the C's get that pick it's a win. Don't need them sliding back into the lottery which I can see happening.

Josh Jackson is a very good ball handler and passer for his size.  Fun to watch him to push the ball in transition.

So capable of blowing by his defender from the corner, just not strong enough to keep the guy on his hip and finish steong at the rim.

He has some skills and he's very athletic but he probably shouldn't pushed his way on to The Suns.
