It would have to be the Lakers who won the inaugural IST. It has a bit of an "FA Cup" feel to it.

less relevant I’d say

Yes but I also feel like the FA Cup runs on past reputation, it's kind of an afterthought for most big teams now.

Draymond Green suspended indefinitely

the greatest off-ball offensive player in NBA history

"I am not one to apologize for things I mean to do, but I do apologize to Jusuf because I didn't intend to hit him," Green said after the game. "I sell calls with my arms ... so I was selling the call ... and I swung and unfortunately I hit him."

Seems a pretty natural and accidental movement to me. Lmao.

Draymond betting on all the NBA decision-makers being born yesterday. The dumb fuck.

Nice Bucks record 64 points for Giannis.

 

[Bianconero81]

Fuck the Pacers.

Petty and Pathetic.

Giannis set a new franchise record - the franchise player for the Bucks sets a new franchise record in his own arena, and you're going to take the game ball and give it to some punk ass rook. Fuck off!

Not even Giannis mother, or clown brother aka "hold me back Crowder" Thanassis, would be as heated for Giannis as you are now lol.

Embiid is a bucket, some scary stats. Wolves bounced back well though, that was a high level game.

Pistons are just complete ass. That game was there for the taking in those circumstances. They are going to smash the record, aren't they? Nets don't look that great but will still win both.

 

[Rockets]

I'm kinda starting to give up on Jalen Green. It's very hard to ignore those shitty performances he keeps dishing out.

He's a great athlete but to play in NBA you need more than that. So far there's no progress being made. Zero basketball IQ and also mentally soft to handle Ime’s standards.

Reminds me of several seasons with the Jazz in the regular season, apart from Spida not wanting to play defence at all. Need to make sure the same mistakes are not made in the post-season, because 50-55 win seasons are nice but it leaves a bitter taste if you can't get to a Final.

Think the Pistons and Spurs believe Wemby's twin is in this draft. I guess it's young teams doing what you expect.

 

[Strickland]

so this year its between Celtics, Bucks and Nuggets? With Wolves and Heat the black horses?

Basically. Although with the right timing you can add 3 or 4 other teams.

Way too early to tell. I think the Sixers are contenders as well. And Clippers too, if they stay healthy. Harden has been pretty good for them

I don’t think the Heat have what it takes tho, they’re a strong playoff team but they can’t win the whole thing

Holy Shit! Wingstop about to give free wings!

Tbh I'm kind of glad it didn't go on any longer. Cade deserved it as well.

I kind of enjoyed it, added a lot of hype to the ridiculously tedious 82-round regular season of NBA

Jazz finally got a triple double for the first time since 2008! And it was Jordan Clarkson of all people lmfao. There are all kinds of reasons for this, but definitely one of the weirder sports streaks over the years.
