Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

I still think we want sixers losing as much as possible… especially while they have injuries… this nets team sucks and will not keep it together.

I think tonight was perfect. Gives the nets another loss while the sixers likely struggle over the next few weeks if Embiid missing an extended stretch.

I think the more they win the less need they have to bring Embiid back. Them burning Embiid out is key to them failing.

KD seems like he’s just kinda chillin and playing ball… Ky is Ky… I think they just kinda Plaut along around .500 and then KD sprains an ankle and they nose dive.
 
Damn the wolves are starting to figure things out. That starting lineup is turning into a beast.

They literally have had such an easy schedule it’s ridiculous.

OKC x2
SA x3
Lakers
Rockets
Orlando
Philadelphia (without Harden/Maxey)
Miami (without Butler)
Indiana

This is all within their first 18 games. They have played 2 back-to-backs total. 10 games at home.

In comparison we’ve played 2 more games total in the same span. 2 less home games. 3 more back-to-backs.

Just ****ing insane.
 
I look at last Minny games. They have easy schedule but they start to play much better. I have no doubt that they will ended in Play off position. They are better than us, no doubt.

They are looking great right now and I think it will translate to the better teams. I hope it doesn't for our sake but that starting lineup is looking pretty damn good.
 
Based on what?
Also based on our team. We win a lot of games lately because we were shooting very well + giving 110% on defensive side. Total energy team creating some chaos and taking wins. I do believe that this is something that we can maintain on 20 games but not on 82. As long as energy is down ( we see it tonight with Lauri), or we shoot a bit less, we become a very average team. Not a bad team but a 35 wins one. Which does not have much interest on my opinion.

i wouldn't go that far. They've been playing better but they still look clunky quite a lot. Their offense relies on individual brilliance still more than anything else

OKC and Indy are good teams.

Only the Rockets and Lakers are truly bad on that list. There aren't really easy games this year, as evidence by Utah getting whooped by 10+ to Deteoit without it's best player.

Sure, how have they played 2 less games, 3 less B2B’s and 2 more home games than us in the same span?

SA stopped playing Minny and stopped winning… Miami had an absolute skeleton crew… I think the first OKC game was without SGA… they caught Cleveland without Donovan. This schedule has been a gift. Wait until they start playing tough teams. They needed to bank wins.. they just kept their head above water and have been basically completely healthy.

OKC is not a good team. They have 1 player who can take over games but their defense and rebounding are as bad as I've seen from any team this season. They will finish below .500 this year.
 
Minnys best wins are against the Pacers and Cavs (without Don and Jarrett Allen).

Until they start winning games against sure fire playoff teams I’m not convinced.

Sure, but it's not like Minny is the only team getting those kind of games. It's a league wide thing. It all balances out. Minny looks better. Their thing is an against themselves kind of thing

That’s fine and I agree… but it would have been hard to look worse. The next tough schedule stretch they face will be their first… I still have no faith that they will rise to the occasion because their mental fortitude this far has been soooooooo weak. Haven’t had an injury yet… Jazz are in great shape with that pick.
