2016-2017 Around The NBA

Quickly glanced over the Raptor's losses this season and they are alarming. They have lost to Cleveland(3 times), Warriors(twice), Spurs, Clippers, Hawks, Phoenix, and Kings. Their most notable wins are basically against the 3rd-seed Celtics and the Rockets in late November, but they have largely failed to beat any elite talent in this league. I think they need to make a move for someone like Millsap otherwise they are going to be stuck behind the elites.

Milwaukee just pissing all over themselves at home v the Knicks. They need a 2nd playmaker to go with Giannis, badly.

Memphis is my least favorite current playoff team to watch. I really want to like them, but each time I watch, every shot is painstakingly hard to get. Just awful.

They've changed coaches three times and this is still the case. Past time to start pointing the finger at the two constants Conley and Gasol.

I know their options were limited, but, I really think they should've tried to trade Conley last season. Because his contract is an albatross.

Ninny keeps losing close games in which they led for a good portion. I keep saying this but they have all the makings of a young team loaded with talent that's going to figure out how to win by the second half of the season. Also, Boston is better than Toronto. More well rounded and better coached. I think they get the second seed.

The funny thing is since I had been keeping my eye on the hawks for their pieces they have actually won 6 games in a row. One of them was to the spurs.

I'm telling you guys Boston is better than Toronto. They're a game behind in them in the loss column now.

Boston wouldn't beat them in a series.

Maybe they'll win one series this year though.

Rockets 19-2 since the start of December

A-are the rockets actually contenders?!

Not only do I think Boston will beat them, I don't think it will be all that close.

Boston will struggle in a playoff series because their best big is a poor rebounder and their best layer is incredibly easy to exploit defensively. So as the game slows the whistles dry-up and shots get harder, the opposing team can game plan to create an easier look and have a grater chance of rebounding the miss
