    Why you so f***ing afraid of no name Williams that nobody in this chat had no clue before Luka trade,who didn't play more than 2 weeks, was nowhere to be found after failed trade and actually has injury concerns
    He's not capable of scoring more than 7-10 points in his physical condition
    30 points my a** lol

    in his last 10 games, he topped 20 five times and 30 twice.

    we play jaxson hayes, alex len, and some two-ways at center. we tried to trade our good young player plus two future picks for the guy.

    if he can get on the court, he can play.

    add in that we might have cost him, like, 50 million dollars by backing out of that trade (not to mention the embarrassment), and he may have some extra motivation.

    In his last 10 games he scored 20 only 3 times and maybe for him more meaningful game tomorrow vs Jokic,and he isn't playing b2b
    And Len isn't that terrible too .

    you laughed at the idea of him scoring 30 when he's done it twice in the past 8 trips out, and scored at least 19 in 6 of the last 10 games (15+ in 8 of the last 10 games).

    none of this discounts that he sits back to backs or missed half the season already, but it all speaks against the idea that he's not a threat to score thirty points on a small team.

    I am more afraid that Nurkic will go off tonight without Davis like 20 + points and 15 rebounds

    Nurkic sucks but that does seem like something that would happen to us

    either is possible. my hope is that we just lock in and win on defense and talent advantage.

    Some people may remember I live in New England. The amount of debates I've gotten into on LeBron now vs Tatum is mindblowing. No C's fan would give him up, which I ultimately agree with based on age, but my argument was having LeBron in his place vs Tatum and they probably rifle off 3 chips in 4 years. I stand by it.
