Guys did you know Bronny plays for the Lakers?

It's great to have the NBA on again

Has there ever been a bigger lose-lose trade? Knicks and Wolves both five seeds now. Straight trash trade.

WTH are Wolves doing -watching Lakers on 17-2 run-. But they always start slow. Like last year.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Man, T-Wolves aren't ready for prime time. This is like a pre-season game almost.

Lost interest when I saw Knicks were getting blown out by Cs in 1st.

I didn't watch, but Celts feel like a lock for #1 in the East. Not a hot take, but it's been a while since you could call it so early

[–] TAG@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Maybe, but I could see the Celtics falling short due to lack of size. Even when everyone is healthy, the Celtics front court tends to be one big player and two small forwards. Not that they have much of a choice since their two best bigs are Horford, who is too old to play for long stretches, and Porzingis, who is injury prone. In the playoffs last year, the Celtics struggled to contain dominant bigs like Bam.

Yeah who else is going to contend with them? It's been clear for a while. They finally won one.

[–] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Knicks are their only threat for #1 spot. But yeah, Celts vs Thunder in the finals? I'm in. Re: Celts, It's been a while since a team ran it back successfully the next year, even past the semis the 2nd year

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

True. They have to stay healthy. Who knows what Philly will look like. Or Bucks. I don't want to discount Pacers. Who took Celtics to their limits despite the sweep.
