@Bingo Bango you need to start another Tonight Will Be Ugly thread.

Let the Debbie-Downer Dogs out.
We can always cut at paste since it's the same team we're playing.

I thought Chauncey-ball was just a fairy tale
Just a rumored, hyped defensive scheme
Dame's prime would be wasted
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams

Then I saw the bench;
Now I'm a believer!
Their defense
Was out of its mind!
I'm in love (oooooooh)
I'm a believer
Chauncey-ball leaves me so satisfied!

now that is a quality post. Has me humming

of course, 4 Monkees on typewriters will eventually make a quality post

So, it follows, that they will get blown out tonight.

The league has so much talent today that we might see coaches, systems and strategy become more important.

Even tanking teams like the Jazz, Kings, Hornets, and Wizard have some very talented starters. That wasn't the case 15 years ago.

Teams with two stars and crap role players like the Lakers suck. 15 years ago that wouldn't have been the case.

Lakers don’t really have 2 stars. LeBron and AD are has beens.

Wow. So glad I was wrong. This may be the most impressive win of the season so far!

Might just have been a day early?

To be fair, it was kinda ugly. We just ended up on the right side of things in the end (and even then, the NBA’s L2M casts a shadow over things…).

One of the biggest complaints I had in the Stotts era, and I was more of a Stotts supporter around here than most. Great teams have to develop a bench. Even if they lose games, it's needed to keep starters fresh and bench confident come playoff time. Stotts would get the team a 3 seeds but totally exhausted, thin rotation, no counter to traps, and depleted as the playoffs start.

Tolliver would’ve played 30 mins in this game.

Teams seem to know what they are looking for and have been drafting better as well. Even a draft class like 2022 that didn’t have much hype, abunch of those guys are already big contributors to their team less than 10 games into the season.
