The Lakers superbowl is tomorrow. Their organization and fans are incredibly insecure and they're dying for a big "win". PED Lebron will come out blazing tomorrow.

It took me two minutes to remember the games count now.

The effort level gave it away though.

Siakam and Van Vleet look ready to defend their title without what's-his-name.

The Raptors achilles heel this year is their lack of depth and that those who were complimentary players now have larger roles without adding anyone to replace their crucial roles. This is an extremely thin team even when healthy......over the course of the year they could really face some trouble with their bench guys pushed into larger roles than they should be seeing.

Van Vleet, 6.0’ tall with 6’2” wingspan. He seems to be an NBA player. Posting for the Carsen doubters.

Carsen will make all rookie team.

Is this the bold prediction thread?

I've been higher on Lonzo than nearly everyone here. He's just needed to get away from LeBron so he could play with the ball in his hands. His shooting looks much improved and he's playing free again. Can I use this post to include Lonzo on my Bold list as the NBA's Most Improved Player?

Pretty good game coming up down the stretch. New Orleans looks like a well-coached team that has played good team basketball. Fred VanVleet is like a mini-Harden, they can’t stop him from going left.

I think the Pelicans, even if Zion isn't back for a long while, will be one of those teams that always grinds out games. They are long and have enough scoring to be very dangerous.

Interesting that Lonzo has been nailed to the bench for this fourth quarter. New Orleans rolling with Hart/Jackson/Redick instead.

Good game considering Zion is out. JJ totally sold that call against Spicy P. Also, I wonder where Lowry finishes up this season. I doubt its Toronto.

I don’t really see Toronto selling Lowry. I know Masai is more aggressive at rebuilding than other GMs, but Toronto could be the #3 seed in the East.

Heh... I guess we're in for a scourge of guys attempting 35 ft. game-winners, this season.

* because of Lillard.

They really just ran an ISO for Norm Powell so he could launch a 30 footer for the game.

I think Masai moves him. They aren't likely to win again and if he can reload with some young talent to build around Siakam, I bet he does it. Their window could be the mid 2020s.
