    With the way Lebron and AD are shooting. You can run point Zonny James Jr with AR and just cause havoc. Defense would be s*** but I'm not sure there is a defense that has ever existed that can stop that. That is just a lot of mass and power going at the rim. Lob City with Lebron James as Chris Paul?

    What helps Cleveland is there roleplayers are playing well. They have good depth along with top end talent. New York just grilled them a few years ago with toughness so they still have to prove it but the talent is there

    Look at Embid.
    Zion would be worse in couple years.Hell no to Zion.He would gain weight in 2-3 months in LA and would be like Shaq

    7-4 is a nice start but we’re going to have to keep our foot on the gas all season. The Wolves and Mavs, last year’s conference finalists, are each currently outside the play-in at 6-6 and 5-6 respectively. We cannot afford a 3-10ish stretch like we had post IST last year.

    The West is insane; right now there are only 3 teams in the conference with a negative avg. point differential. In contrast, there are only 4 teams in the East with a positive point differential lol.

    yeah, and portland and SA aren't cake walks. SA didn't surprise me, but portland has. i thought they'd be as bad as utah has been.

    Yeah they should be. I would guess they will regress to the norm, but who knows. The West is making regular season interesting, you really can't give away any game.
    The Pels are the ones who are in a really tough spot. They already lost twice to Portland, Brooklyn and Atlanta at home. Really bad games to drop in a feisty fight for the play-in. They have a great group when healthy, so maybe they really believe in that and can make a push until January and then make decisions near the deadline

    Lakers better not trade for Zion.
    He will never be healthy for long stretches throughout the rest of his time in the League.
