Funny enough, this team is actually playing just as or almost as well as the last two seasons to this point of the season actually when you compare records and some of the stats  :P

Very crazy. And I give a lot of kudos to Mazzulla and the players.

Also if you think about it, they started the year 0-3. Since then? 38-16. Even more bonkers

So you're no longer aboard the tank train you commissioned? Given up on Dybantsa or Boozer? :police:

We'll trade Jaylen and the moon this offseason to move up to the Top-3!

If you care about on/off numbers at all, then it wouldn't be completely surprising to see the team sell high on Jaylen. There are some bad teams that might finally want to be good and he does make a lot of money.

I could see Utah being interested.  It would just be hard to make a trade unless they traded Markkanen and then I dont think they'd also trade a top 3 pick.

If a team like the Warriors wins the lottery there could be a move there, but working out the actual trade parameters would be difficult.

I had a season wins prop bet of over 41 wins that I cashed out for a slight loss after 3 they lost the first 3 games!  They cover that one with 20 games to go.

Gonna be fun revisiting the predictions thread at the end of the season. Gonna be plenty of gems in there.

Yeah, I am not embarrassed with mine (in some pre-season thread I said I thought a 3-seed was in reach) but I am pretty sure I ended up putting us down for 46 wins and we will be blowing past that pretty shortly.

You're in much better shape than most people.

I didn't imagine they would be at this level, I thought they would be in the top 6, but I also wasn't slitting wrists  :angel:

What it says is a lot of us underestimate the ability of the human spirit to overcome adversity even with limited resources. And I guess some of us might have secretly wanted to be like Philly (lol) and add a top 3 draft pick to our team  :angel:

As for this tank train, with @Phantom255x having abandoned it and no longer driving this is where it is

Celtics were definitely better than I thought they?d be without Tatum. Now that JT is back can probably put this thread to rest.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
