Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

While I'd find it comical if somehow all three teams landed in the lottery, Philly and Brooklyn even at 80% are good enough to make the playoffs in the East. More than likely, the Royce pick ends in the 20's somewhere.

Basically Houston is in the lotto guaranteed. Brooklyn could straight implode. What we are rooting for imo is Philly to have an injury and hit the play-in and lose. Its a long shot but the pick being in the late teens early 20s is better than what we all assumed was going to be in the late 20s most likely.

As in the East is weak this year?

I see it the opposite, and think the East is a free for all honestly.

Key here is make the playoffs, not necessarily be a #1 seed. I'd slot Bucks, Cavs, Celtics and the Heat over both the Nets and the Sixers. Gotta figure the Bulls, Hawks and Raptors will figure into the back mix somewhere. Outside of that, I can't see a team like the Wiz, Hornets or Knicks somehow finishing better than them and knocking them out of the playoffs entirely unless they get unlucky in a play-in or get some injuries.

The Nets feel to me like the team that could implode if KD goes down, Kyrie does Kyrie things and Simmons continues to look like a chump. If Philly sees injuries to Harden or more importantly Embiid, they still might be good enough to pull off a late seed.

Kyrie already doing Kyrie things and BS is out with knee soreness. Watched him the other night make a bad play then hold his back... any flicker of adversity and that team melts.

It really is on Philly. Embiid is always a threat to miss 25+games and dealt with plantar fasciitis in the offseason. There are a few teams that will be there should they slip.

That is where I think it ends up as well and there will be a bunch of quality players to pick from. This year's draft is going to be loaded with long wings that every team wants.
 
I mean Kanye backed Kyrie today... that is where we are and we haven't even played 10 games. No idea why Brooklyn thought this could be patched together for a year or two.

Kyrie should be suspended for the season or longer IMO, but apparently anti-semitism isn’t a particular concern for the NBA.

If this movie is so toxic/bad, why has it been on Amazon for so long?

I really don't understand any of this. I know it's a black Israelite type thing, but is believing in that inherently anti semetic?

The funny thing to me is that the media has blown this up so much and has given this thing way more publicity than it would have gotten if Kyrie just posted it and no one gave a ****. It's probably selling and being viewed more on Amazon now than it ever has. And no one actually knows what is what. It's just a bunch of people yelling at Kyrie that he's racist.

I'm not trying to argue to defend Kyrie, I just think the role of trying to silence/censor is almost always a bad one and just results in bad ideas being spread more, giving conspiracy theories more fuel to burn.

1000% true. All of this.

Yes. Yes it is. Believing that black people are real descendants of the people of Old Testament, while actual Jews are evil, scheming usurpers who have robbed black people of their birthright is anti-Semitic. It boggles my mind that I have to point this out. Not only is it anti-Semitic, it's also a continuation of a medieval tropes about Jews as conniving and illegitimate that gave rise to Antisemitism.
