That's why the NBA gave us back to back in Brookyln...smdh

Yeah, wish the Nets were at the tail end because the way they look right now that game is going to be very hard.

I'm honestly not excited about 2-0.

I'm excited about team depth. About 12 legit NBA players.

I'm excited about Trae's continued evolution.

I'm excited about Cam and Hunter becoming lock down defenders.

I'm excited about having multiple 3pt shooters.

I'm excited about roster flexibility 

I'm excited about enormous spacing 

I'm excited about Trae hustling on defense

I miss the chatroom. I know they've been working hard on it but wow what a time that was. I just got shore duty orders to NC. What do I need to pay to get this shit back going? Fun times.

This is true!

 

How about a feature game on Christmas.

Atlanta and Memphis are the "legacy cities" for MLK. Having those two play each other on MLK day means that one of those cities doesn't have a game that day.

So move the Trae vs Ja matchup to Christmas. And spare us from watching blowouts between so-called "star" teams.

Seeing key rotation guys struggle and is having the depth to overcome is just so refreshing.  Knight is pure gravy.  Loving this start!

From where I sit up here in the nosebleeds...

Just as Detroit and Dallas home games are staples of every Thanksgiving, I'd vote for Memphis and Atlanta each hosting another team every year on MLK Day for national broadcasts. I mean... that just seems a no-brainer.

(Christmas games, I think, are more or less now anointed as reward for having had some measure of postseason success, so I'd doubt the league office would anoint a particular match-up as an every year occasion.)

Having a bench matters, a lot. Last year we had the worst bench in the league.

They left out Kevin's best play of the night. His brilliant touch pass to John Collins on a give-and-go.

We should of signed Christian Wood. He's been great for the Rockets.

We made 10 straight playoff appearances, at least half we got past 1st round, and an ECF appearance and STILL didn't get a Christmas game back then.

They put the Pels on Xmas for crying out loud. Warriors we know why they made the exception, but the Pels? Because of Zion, really?

we didn't have star talent back then, so winning meant nothing. Nobody wanted to watch Joe Johnson and Al Horford etc

They wanted to see Marvin though. No resisting the duck butt.
