Absolutely. There’s been a slight mutiny on the rox forum over Mobley > Green. That Mobley was the better pick. After a handful of games lol Jalen and Sengun are only 19 Respectively. In a loaded west. Like give them some time damn lol

Hey we get Jalen Green vs Cade next week though

[DaleSr]

Even if they had grabbed mobley, they still gotta score! Mobley isn't a #1 option like green is

I knew you’d get it. Preaching to the choir lol he’s probably the only Ray of sunshine on an otherwise gloomy outlook of Houston sports.

I’m glad there’s lots of action between this thread and the fantasy one. No longer have to hide my inner sports dorkness

Totally, I'm the same way. I love sports but i feel like i don't have a ton of friends who are into them so these two threads are a dream because i can be into them but not deal with what absolute clowns a lot of sports fans are

Clippers hanging twenty on the hornets in the fourth was a thing of beauty

Just finished watching that sloppy but fun rockets/pistons game. Now i get to watch this super testy heat Lakers game. First time I've watched a game this season

[BallDontLie]

Gaaah this team is such a mess…. It’s just been so long since I’ve had to suffer a rebuild. Free Christian Wood.

Embrace it. The year we just had shai and a bunch of scraps we got from trading away our stars was a super fun year to watch

Ok the Mavs are a joke, I definitely give you that, but why you think he’s overrated?
Maybe it’s because I have like a european bound or something...but i think what he showed in his short time in the nba is impressive.

Are the Warriors for real this year? Don't call it a comeback but they are 12-2 as I write this, Steph has been godly, they've locked in defensively and they don't even have Klay back yet. Outside of them in the west there's the Jazz, who haven't looked exactly as good as last year. Nuggets, who've been great and when they get Murray back will be elite, but that might be a while away. Same with the Clippers when they get Kawhi back. Warriors are looking like easy finalists at this point in the year, barring an injury to Steph or whatever.

bucks beat bum ass lakers last night lets go

warriors are def a tier above everyone else, maybe bucks are on the same level with their 3 back

[DaleSr]

I'm waiting until January to identify any real trends

we are not on the same level as the warriors lol

i feel like watching the bucks my whole life, we're a "fail up" team. maybe its because of the years of abuse i've endured but i never feel like we are doing good in a basketball game. never have felt dominant or anything. just kind of bumbly and sometimes lucky and most of the time just Giannis putting us on his back.

yeah youre probably right, i threw them in since they did win the chip last season and are generally the same team. Losing tucker hurts yall defense tho

He's been great. A real multi tool out there. Although he missed the last game i think

[thebacker]

Jesus christ that game from steph last night was something else

[cky enthusiast]

are non sixers fans aware of how crazy tyrese maxey is playing yet or do i have to wait a few
more weeks

if i’m rich paul i’m gonna say simmo got polio or some shit because he’s running way out of leverage

[DaleSr]

Did you sixer bros see that article that came out a week or so ago about how Morey has some insane list of stars that he'll only trade Simmons for and he's viewing this as a multi year crisis?? Shit is fucked
