Experimentation rules as the Boston Celtics deploy a bold double-big lineup featuring Mitchell Robinson and Neemias Queta, while Payton Pritchard’s playmaking sparks sixth man debates.

Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle anchor the San Antonio Spurs’ suffocating defense, stirring hype for their young core. Injury concerns cloud the Denver Nuggets after Julian Strawther goes down, while odd rotation strategies generate buzz for the New Orleans Pelicans.

As much as I want to clown people(and I still will do that) for saying this Heat squad would be a play-in team at best, I can't help but feel ashamed of other Heat fans to believed them.
Why is it so great and fascinating what the Celtics do but oh it's just preseason and oh it's just the Nets for the Heat SMH yall gonna give us our respect one day 🔥🔥🔥LETS GO HEAT 🔥🔥🔥
I will say this it’s wierd how all these years been asking for Tatum to get more mid post touches come off curl actions. Now JB gone they finna doing it. It’s like they were arrogant at first spamming P&R and mismatching hunt all game with Tatum
Giannis is the best player in the world.
Lol funny to hype up Spurs when they lost the Maluach minutes and only could beat Duop Reath.
Suns didn’t play Green, Book, Brooks, Bridges, Oso, or Gillespie. But they still won the Maluach and Dunn minutes.
Also I don’t know how you could think Suns are worse after watching their main guys winning every game.
Suns were 2 games back of the third seed before Book, Brooks, Williams, Allen missed February and March.
The Heat built another supper team at the level of Jimmy Butler’s
Pistons offense is completely different this season. Wish yall hit on that. The wolves were also down 12 with their starters playing. Starters of the wolves stopped playing like 7 minutes into the 3rd.
