Who did we overrate, underrate, or leave off the list?
I can't speak for all Pistons fans and I wont try to but I will say FOR ME that I don't give a damn about this season. At all. Period.
You can legitimately die from a collapsed lung. This is way bigger than a kids game. Not sure how severe this case is but all I care about is that he can recover fully.
The Pistons will be fine. It's a game.
Spurs #1
Thunder Up! Would love to see Jdub back to gear up for the playoff run! Would also to hear yalls take on expansion in NBA.
I dig y'all's banter. Always entertaining.
GSG
The Hawks’ “hot streak” needs more context. In that 11-game span, they only faced two real playoff-hunt teams — the Portland Trail Blazers and Orlando Magic.
Look at the 5 games before that 11-game streak against real competition: they lost twice to the Charlotte Hornets, lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Miami Heat. The only win too a Philadelphia 76ers team missing key players.
Out of 2 games from the 11 game winning streak, it was against tanking teams: Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Portland Trail Blazers, Milwaukee Bucks, Dallas Mavericks, and Orlando Magic.
So yes they won 11 games, however, that record is inflated by weaker competition.
Today's the first day of Spring, the time of health, renewal, and THUNDER STORMS.
This Hawks winning streak has been brought you by… Tanking.
Pistons with no Cade? I like my Hawks chances.
My guys! Great power rankings as usual!
Hawks over the Raptors is gross. Raptors have more impressive wins in their 3 game streak than the hawks do their entire 11 game streak. Also, they have beaten those hawks w/ and w/o trae young. Sleeping big on the Raptors ngl.
Spurs will win the chip regardless of this ranking. People forget the fact that the spurs want the thunder. They are in their head. Castle will lock up Shay
Get well Cade and Ant makes the league better even as a Spurs fan
My Spurs have 2 weaknesses. The power forward position. Trust me, it's glaring! If you can exploit that position my team will lose! And they don't like little aggressive guards, That's why they have a hard time with the Knicks.
Spurs number one we own the tiebreaker on okc lol
As a San Antonio native going back to the 80's, the silver and black is just part of our culture. Y'all are just gonna have to come to terms with it. : )))
Do you tell Boston or LA to add colors. Silver and black has kicking ass just fine
What WEAK are we in WEAK NUGGETS. Just joking, I'll give them till the playoffs, then we'll see
ill say with the addition to kuminga hawks have been playing better then 10th. lets see how they play tonight vs rockets. if they win or even lose by just a couple points considering they are playing in Houston i will have to put them higher then 10.
yeah but before the win streak we also didnt have kuminga on hawks roster. been #1 def since
You underrated the Spurs jerseys
Thunder #1 baby! We’re starting to get healthy/consistent again and McCain has been insane off the bench for us. C’mon playoffs!
