Thanks for making the threads, Shel. We have this week listed as the last one in the spreadsheet, but we have games up through 4/14. So I think we're missing one week? Can anybody take it?

He'll be Isiah's reclamation project after he takes over the front office.

Ha ha! Very funny! April Fools! Extra week in the season. Like we'd want to suffer through that! Nice try.

I hate the guy but this is crazy. He and Irving are each trying to one-up each other.

I don't even hate Luka anymore, he's a whiny baby, but all the stars are, Luka is a monster.

How would you compare and contrast Luka to booker?

Just turned on the Warriors/Mavs game for a minute. Why is Draymond Green not suspended right now? It’s okay to pull somebody down by the neck and kick somebody in the dick now?

Triumphant sneak return by Embiid and the Sixers over the Thunder.

We are still at #8 in the standings, tied with SAC. Thanks to beating NOP, we're just 1 game back from them and DAL who are in #6 and #5 respectively. We're 1.5 games ahead of the #9 Lakers.

Draymond is great defensively…better at defending 5s than Marion, but Marion was better defending guards. It’s one thing to guard Brunson who likes to use his strength and stop/start moves to score and guarding someone like Fox(comparable to Tony Parker who Marion defended).

Marion was a phenomenal 1-4 defender and could defend 5 if need be. Draymond is phenomenal 3-5 defender and can guard 1-2 if need be. I’d say Marion was more versatile but Draymond more capable of playing the defensive anchor role.

And Marion is a much nicer guy to boot and didn't kick dudes in the nuts or pull them down by the neck.
