Denver 4 - Milwaukee 3
Raptors will probably flop in the season-tourney, & land the 7 seed, & not win a single playoff game. Go Leafs go!
I just don't see Siakam being traded unless he attitudes his way out - he quit on Nick Nurse, & if he doesn't buy in & sets bad vibes for the youth, Masai will probably finally field calls. Anunoby likely isn't going away, he's Masai's Draymond & will die on that hill. That's fine, he's a 1 of 1.
Hot take: Chauncey Billups is now pretty mis-cast for the Blazers, maybe he'll coach the Raps in 2024, returning as a past alum.

I'll check in around April. Players don't care about the regular season - not sure why I should.

Poole scores 41 in 27 minutes against the Knicks
Steph 30 in 31 minutes. Wonder why they left him in so long regardless of the score.

silver's reason9ng for not having the NBA All-Star game be US vs the World is that only 1/3 of the league is non-US, so having half of the AS roster be 1/2 would be unfair incentive-wise.
Also likely Vegas and Seattle get teams once the new TV/media deal is set in 2 years.

Nuggets open the season with a 119-107 win over the Lakers. Lebron was +7 but they were -19 with him off the court. AD completely disappeared, with 0 points in the 2bd half.

Everybody pronouncing the Warriors dead already. I'll wait for Dray to see. Though CP3 still looks like a bad fit.

So the NBA's three week off season is over and the most meaningless regular season in any sport begins
Whee.
i make 1-2 posts that shit on the NBA every season and that's one. Not counting harassing treefrog on "the process" which seems to be a thing of the past

/\ yeah, Doc & Burke were a horrid combo for the A-squad.
Raptors still doing Raptors things... struggling to eke out the win over a competitively paired T-Wolves side. At least the Nurse grind era is over. I've been posting since forever here, & their ceiling is now yearly 6th place in the East.
Wemby looked good, but that Mavs team has no defense. I do think his 5 fouls were a strong sign - that he's not going to just cruise around & hope for the best... he seems to have alpha mentality, & Pop must be thinking that's great cuz that's not something you can teach.

So this in-season tournament. Warriors games 6, 12, 17 and 18 are considered tournament games. Knockout game is game 21 if they get in, then 22 (if necessary) and 23 (if necessary). If they don't get in, Games 21 and 22 are just regular season games against another two teams that didn't get in. I suppose it needs to be early due to the All-Star break being in mid-February. www.nba.com/news/in-season-tournament-101

So this in-season tournament. Was it the Mavs-Spurs game they were talking about it? One of the Tues games crews were bluntly saying it'll take players & teams a few years to truthfully take it seriously. Maybe it was the Canadian broadcast of T-Wolves-Raptors. I think players need to see the ramifications of trying & winning before they believe what's on paper. That's fine, if the Kings or Magic win this 1st one & see how that pans for them, maybe it'll influence.

Doc Rivers sounds like he swallows sandpaper every morning He's got the voice a good bluesman would like to have.
