AROUND the NBA: ATL Jumps from #10 to #1 in Lotto| Pistons Mull Firing GM

Agreed. Manu needs to be on there somewhere. In his peak he was a SPECIAL player.

The wonderful thing about both of them is they were special players who fit next to a generational player and accepted any role given them without the first hint of being a diva.  I honestly don't think you can go wrong either way.

How many rings does Tony Parker have? I thought he was one of the most underrated players ever at his peak. 

Man, that Spurs system was truly special while it lasted.

4 so you'd have to bounce Curry.

Oh, sorry. I guess I didn't realize at first glance that they were making actual teams, taking position into account. 

Yeah, I'll stick with Curry.

Brunson looks like the only skilled player in the starting 5, although his defense looked atrocious.  Ok, Barrett seems like an ok player.  Imo, the Knicks are going to be terrible.

Hartenstein was a miss, if we ever had a chance to get him (SnT).

Overreactions are my favorites over the first three weeks of the season.   But, Dragic has 12 points in 8 minutes so far for Chicago.   

Also, mighty impressive beatdown so far by the Pelicans against the Nets.  Ben Simmons does have 2 points though

[BoredAssistant]

Have to admit, I found myself rooting for JB and the Knicks.

[Chicagojk]

Wow..I know San Antonio is looking forward, but man that roster is really bad and really boring.

Wizards up 12 with 7 minutes left against Indy.   KP has 15 points on 5-13 shooting though.   8 boards and 6 free throws.

Sprained Wemby Ankle.  Recovery time 6 months

The Knicks should trade Randle and something (Fournier?) for Westbrook and a pick, and start the tank for Slick Vik.  The Lakers get some toughness inside (lol) and 3-point shooting, and the Knicks clear some room.  I don't feel like doing the math at the moment.

Cannot imagine that Towns will be happy with the new T`Wolves offense. After three quarters he has 6 FGA. 5 of them from 3. He wasn´t getting enough touches last season. the way it looks it could be even worse now that all pick and roll action features Gobert.

Hot take from the same game: Mavs shouldn´t have given up on Omoruyi. Giving me major PJ Tucker vibes. On paper he lacks some length but he is build like a linebacker and can move his feet. Had a couple of nice possessions on defense.

[BoredAssistant]

Nice pass JB!

[Kammrath]

Towns

I've always thought he was going to be traded at sometime in the near future and that was BEFORE Gobert came in. Allows MIN to get back some draft assets.

[dirkfansince1998]

More hot takes. Jalen Duren is the second coming of prime Dwight Howard. Pure physical dominance in the paint. Scarry to imagine that he isn´t even 19 and could grow another inch or two. Can easily add another 20-30lbs of muscle.

Nice pass JB!

JB drawing the offensive foul. Big time stop.

[Chicagojk]

Brunson just makes winning plays.  Always has.

[cow]

JB with the nice dime to tie the game and then draws a charge to preserve overtime.

[Chicagojk]

Brunson not done screwing the Mavs.   About to play a 6 OT game and make us miss the Mavs game.
