Are the Suns and Bucks struggles Real or Fake? Will the Mavs and 76ers be top teams this season?



The NBA is taking the night off for Election Day and that means it’s time to figure out what’s Real or Fake in the Association. Jake Madison (@LockedOnPelicans) and John Karalis (@LockedOnCeltics) look at if Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavs are a top team in the West. What about Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers in the East? Are the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns struggles real or fake? Are the poor seasons for Trae Young and Julius Randle real or fake? And has Anthony Edwards taken the star leap?

  1. Karalis…Have you looked at how the Mavs are winning. They are basically taking the first half off. They are smothering teams in the second half. Look at how Grant Williams is killing it from behind the arc. I think you may be sleeping on this one.

  2. Yes, the Mavs have defeated some bad teams on route to 6-1, but if you watched the Mavs last year you know that it is a massive improvement for them. Last year, they were the ones building leads and then collapsing in the 4th. I remember the early OKC game, where there was 4 minutes left and the Mavs are up by 16. Then Isaiah Joe just started hitting 3s, and the Mavs couldn't stop the bleeding. The rebounding is still shite but if it was that 22-23 Mavs playing, they'd lose like 5 of those 7 games. I'm just happy the Mavs are taking care of business.

    Karalis, why do you have to go off on Trae Young like that? Did he hurt you or smth?
    And Jake is a Milan fan? Fairs.

  3. mav's just need to add Deni and a backup center. I would say a 3-way trade with Detroit and Washington wiz gets wiseman and Hayes. Mav's get Deni and steward. Detroit gets a first from Dallas and Washington and Salery matching players. Then send Morris to philly to join his brother for kj martin.

  4. The top of the standings, and how the bucks are struggling…and they're 1 game behind the celtics lol

    Keep that bucks hate coming and that same energy when they've got the chemistry going in 3 months

  5. If Tatum and Brown were out and had the Suns record would they be worried?

  6. You're a pioneer in your domain! 🚀 – Doubts of today are the only roadblocks to realizing tomorrow's dreams..

  7. Mavs are a top 5 team in the west and that’s a good improvement considering the assets they had. One more long defensive player and they are a contender.

  8. People don’t know basketball you beat the bad teams and go 50/50 with good teams and you will win 50 plus games.

  9. Clearly people have not seen the Mavs play and just watch highlights and stuck to the narrative of the past. This is the NBA. Any team can beat you at any day. This is not 2k.

  10. its funny how quickly people would bash Jrue for getting cooked by Jimmy in the 1st round and than turn right back around and say he's the best on-ball defender lol… 😂 whata joke
