ATL got Trae, Snell and Dunn back, but Bog (hammy), Huerter (shoulder) and Hunter (knee) all out.  Having serious trouble getting healthy.

Hawks have 7 of last 8 at Home.
PHX; POR and @Ind.
And 4 games v. weak East teams (though Wiz playing better lately).
......

I'm hoping Knix can win a 4-5 matchup (w/ ATl or BOS) and then play #1 BKY in the 2nd round.  That'd be fun.  Knick D v. BKY O.

The Wiz are no longer a weak team. Period.

And yeah, that's what we're going for, that 4th or 5th spot. And the second round game against the arch motherfuckers from Brooklyn.

That would be fabulous.

I'd rather play Philly

[kidcarter8]

True or false?

Five of the ten best players in the NBA are on 2 teams rosters.

I suppose the answer is yes, if you think Kyrie is better than Tatum and Booker and Lillard and Mitchell....and others who would compete for that 10th spot.

But I don't think so.

So I would say "False."

I have it as true

AND I have Lillard in the top 10

Kyrie is splendid when he's, you know, playing with other stars. But shouldn't a top ten guy be a central force whoever he's playing with?

Miami is better with Butler than Kyrie. Knicks are better with Randall than Kyrie. Portland is better with Lillard than Kyriee.

Anyhow, what's your top ten?

Lebron
Davis
Durant
Harden
Embiid
Jokic
Luka
Kawhi
Antetokounmpo

So there's 9 right there. You already would have to kick out one of the above to add Kyrie and Lillard to the top ten.

And that's already accepting the obscene removal of Curry (with a number of great players close behind).

Naw, I can't see Kyrie as top ten (even though I share his belief that the world is flat and it's important not to go out too far in the ocean, less you fall over the side).

Bo I humbly suggest you put your trivia in the NBA forum so others have a chance to answer without spoilers from trivia-cheats.

Immanuel Quickley has expanded his range to Steph and Dame shots. Thibodeau is all for it:

"We have a 4-point line at our practice facility, and he shoots just as effectively from that area. When he has an opening in transition sometimes those are the best looks that he’ll get"

For almost as long as i've been a Knicks fan I've been a Giants fan.

The Knicks drafted a player with the #25 pick, Immanuel Quickley, after a draft day trade down.
The Giants drafted a player with the #20 pick, Kadarius Toney, after a draft day trade down.

Quickley has that infinite range on his jumper.  He is a threat to score after a couple dribbles past halfcourt.
Toney has the type of tackle-shedding moves and elite speed to score from anywhere on the field.

Neither is an all-world player yet.
The other team doesn't necessarily game plan for these guys as both the Knicks and Giants possess bigger weapons to be concerned about.
But each player has the ability in any given game to wreck the opposing coaching staff's game plan.

Toney's quicklness and Quickley's range make two pedestrian offenses truly dangerous.

Doncic is not in my top ten

[kidcarter8]

We can debate all year long, but here is my ten

(in no particular order)


JAMES
IRVING
LILLARD
ANTETEKOUMPO
DURANT
JOKIC
DAVIS
HARDEN
BUTLER
CURRY

- this is BEST, not best this year, MVP race, best moving forward....

WE could do a NEXT TEN - and you could say who should be up there

Doncic
Leonard
Paul
Marant
Westbrook
etc

I like the pick

And Quickley is certainly working out as a late round guy

[kidcarter8]

But is FLYNN better?

Probably not.  But room to show/grow for both

If Quicks is Loiu W and Flynn is TJ Mac, we can quibble
