    I never trust retailers that only show photoshopped images of their product.

    Just got back from my work travels (still quarantining from the fam) and hoooooooooo boy, we just got so much better. This squad, at full health, comfortably wins 60+ games.

    Welcome back :rock: . And I agree, only thing that can stop us is bad luck. We were super lucky last season with good health, hope that trend continues.

    Love how we have reshaped the roster, it’s great to have the confidence back in our organisation again to make the right moves.

    As long as our health holds up, no reason why we can’t repeat.

    Oh . . . right. So .731% as a floor, which in this case would be 53+ games.

    Remarkable job here by Rob. But as usual, I will be cautiously optimistic and will tune out the NBA if we suck for a few games as we did in December last year lol

    This is the kind of roster that will show if Lebron is the leader he is said to be. Moreso than any team previously IMHO. Lots of quality players, stars, former stars, SPOY types, role players accepting less, not enough minutes to go around for people trying to make their mark, and all while he is likely load managing. Dudley needs to stick around to help out too. He is a serious glue guy that is underrated.

    Luka feels a little high, no? His raw talent is off the charts, but as of today, are you really taking him over Curry or Lillard going into a playoff series?

    I'd put him at number 4 as well. I think he's right there. I love Dame, but yeah, I'd take Luka over him, Lillard, Kawhi, Haren and KD right now. The kid is sensational and he really showed me something in that series vs. the Clippers playing hurt.
