[@ezanakibret8253]

1:45:00 I would rather Poole and it’s not really close, the reason Pooles stats get so much better post all star break, is because of the Wizards new HC Brian Keefe. Before he was the interim HC, Wes Unseld JR had Poole playing SG next to Tyus despite the fact that their games didn’t complement each other. Then interim HC Keefe benched Poole and made him this 6 man PG off the bench, then Poole started to play much better on ball. Tyus all of a sudden gets a mysterious back injury and now Poole is the starter at PG post all-star break. As the PG he averaged 20.9 pts, 3.3 reb and 6 assists per game. Wiz still didn’t win many games but they were covering the spread consistently and being competitive. Lastly, all the reporting that comes from GS or DC about Poole, talks about him having a great worth Ethic, despite his reputation. Can we say the same about Ayton ?

That how it works when predicting things before the season we can’t expect everyone to be the same or everyone being healthy because that unrealistic teams can improve or decline it just depends on what you want to believe and since they’re young and are one of the best organizations expecting jdub and chet to improve Isn’t that crazy If nobody projects then we have to expect the playoffs to be the same but we know that’s not going to happen

@@Wrestle_Kingdom I don’t disagree that they will likely be the top seed in the West. They didn’t have any injuries last year. Mavs had Kyrie, Lively, Kleber, Exum, Green and others miss 25-35 games each. Kyrie is always hurt, so I dont expect the Mavs to be the top seed.

Denver over Dallas after they lost KCP for nothing lol. They chocked their ass of against the same Wolves team the Mavs cleaned up in 5 games. They keep harping on Jokic is unstopabble, the best player in the world. So what? At worst Luka is the 2nd or 3rd best player in the world next year and just as unstoppable on offense as Jokic lol. Mavs supporting cast at this point is simply better (assuming health) than the Nuggets. Nuggets have never beaten a 50 win team in the Jokic era. Mavs just beat 3 straight. Nuggets got extremely lucky with their playoff run with a injured and weak West and happened to face the 8th seeded Heat who ran out of steam. One of the weakest runs in the last 10 years.
