The days of just recklessly assembling 3 stars is over. You need a complete team. Look at Denver, or OKC, or even Boston.

I mean, it was never a positive outcome if you did it recklessly....

And I doubt it's over. There will be still be these dumbass billionaires who come in and want it right away.

Solid guess but no.

For whatever reason I started watching Orlando last season, and they've been one of the teams I've followed pretty closely for the last two years. It's been fun watching them grow. As a guy who appreciates defense, they've built a really good defensive team and have some players I enjoy watching on that end.

They remind me a little bit of the Favors/Rubio Jazz team where there was just an obvious lack of shooting compared to the better teams in the league. I hope they don't make too many sacrifices to their defense in order to improve their offense, although they obviously need to do something.

I agree. They have a solid team and they definitely don't underachieve. I think another reason I like them is they're in the East and they're a smaller market (I would call them a mid-market) than a lot of the 'powerhouses' who attract free agents easier.

Teams like us, Orlando and Indiana (and San Antonio and to a lesser degree Sacramento) are (for me) tough not to root for as they don't tend to easily attract the star free agents and therefore have to draft especially well.

Doc Rivers? He’s coached about every team out there so it’d make sense if he started to be hired at places that have already fired him.

Yes, San Antonio needs so much pity. Just 3 #1 overall picks every single one of them in generation-defining drafts, multiple rings spanning over a decade of championship basketball. They have it so tough. I'm sad for them.

I like them and I bet there are some forum posters who like them. Point is - THEY'RE.A.SMALL.MARKET.TEAM.

No. He's likely someone people have never even heard of. His name is Jamahl Mosley. He finished 2nd in C.O.Y.
 
The Knicks are a fun and likable team.
Thibbs has them playing so hard. They just lack the star power necessary to do any real damage. Fun, scrappy team though

This has been hashed and rehashed and rerehashed. They are anything but a small market team. You can like them all you want, and I respect the hell out of the organization, but they are not deserving of any leeway at all.
 
I watch all Minny games and love the basketball they play. Hope Rudy and Mike make it. ANT is so good as well..
I watch Don and see not much changes with Jazz time. His ego is probably too big to improve. Cavs are lucky Orlando is very limited on offense part.
I watch some of Clippers- Mavs. Clippers play slow, Dallas play no defense but they are 2 incredible players.
I love OKC, real good playing team, they may be on Top as West for few years.
My favorite remain Denver. They have chemistry, got the best player in the league, they will be tough to beat.

Luka hasnt played great this postseason though. Kyrie on the other hand has been nothing short of amazing.
