Remember when Paulie and Tony owned you
Aside from Ant being one of "those" guys, do not underestimate how much of an anchor D'lo was here last year. He was bordering on actively sabotaging the process of getting Gobert integrated. Mike Conely is an adult in the room who doesn't care about getting his.
Y’all are the best for real
Booker lol
Booker is not better on D than SGA c’mon now be serious
Shai > Book
Better defender, better offensive player, better playmaker, better passer, more size
Strawther might end up being better than Bruce Brown. He might even surpass him this season. He's that talented. I'm also not so sure Wembanyama will be far better than Chet. If preseason stats mean anything, Chet's like 80% as good as Wembanyama.
Why the Nuggets will repeat as WC Champs? Nikola Jokic…he's that damn good.
The Lakera add just Gabe Vincent and they were destroyed 4-0. I don't understand this take.
I like Carson but this other guy has consistently horrible takes. Feels like he ingests bad takes and runs w them. Book is a better defender than sga? Smh
The way Carson talked abt the thunder defense – specifically Chet in the drop affecting dames middys – is the same way porzingus will affect dame when cs meet the bucks. Then you have dwhite n jrue running dame off the the 3 they’ll be able to guard dame/Giannis as good as anybody
Giddey just turned 21 who at 20 is at 16/8/6, let the kid develop lol
Hearing the Lakers is Denver's biggest competition is the biggest joke out there right now.. LA can't score enough to keep up with Denver
SGA gets to the rim amd FT line so im taking him over Booker
