They were part of the southern Soviet union that the Russians stole all their food and they had a horrible famine. Then they converted to Islam. I kid not.

The people of that area were Islamic long before the Soviets came around.

No, not athletic enough. Just getting swarmed.

He is extremely athletic. Watcha smokin?

 

[chuck0609]

Ummm Morant over Barret right?

I mean Morant looks like a slightly less athletic Russel Westbrook with actual basketball skills....

That’s a tough one. Both would be excellent additions.

Uzbekistan is in Asia

I tend to think of those old Soviet-bloc countries as Eastern European. What I tend to think doesn’t make it right.

Well, in the times of the Soviet Union genocidal tyranny a lot of ethnic russians were sent to central Asia. Today they are being expelled by segregationists laws, but this is another history...

Also if you think the post- 1928 Soviet Union is dead, go up to modern day Russia/Belarus. Its like the Soviet never died. NEP era economic system. Tribalist organization. Individual expression is repressed for communal unity.

Very nordic ethnic makeup.

If we end up slipping to 5th or 6th during the lotto the guy I would want is Coby White from UNC. 6-5 Combo guard. Could be a good fit next to Sexton long term. Well both players would be score first players White has shown the ability to pass and has really improved as the year has gone on. Clearly we ideally won't be picking 5th or 6th but White is a guy I would like if we do slip down to 5th or 6th.

Zion’s handles keep getting exposed. When he can’t bully people physically he can disappear for some stretches in college.

Great vision though. Good passing

I was thinking the same thing. If he slips in the draft, maybe we can use the Houston pick and JR's contract to move up.

It's become clear that we need to draft Aubrey Dawkins.

The Knicks, Suns, and Bulls have shut down several important players for them for year. We need to have both Cedi and Love not see the court for the rest of the year.

I am concerned about losing that 3rd spot to CHI. but the cavs won't win much on the roadtrip anyway.
I guess they are not concerned about it since they are low enough to not forfeit the pick at this point.

 

[Simmy]

I see potentially 1-2 wins left on the schedule. I honestly feel like we might beat Boston tomorrow @ home and then pick up a W @ Phoenix. We play the Spurs twice, the Warriors and the Clippers (all Ls) and then the Kings/Hornets (we may be able to steal 1 of these 2).

The Bulls, in contrast, play the Knicks twice and have a chance to beat a moronic Wizards team away. The problem is that they play the Raptors and Sixers twice in the run home.

Honestly, there should be no way that we overcome that 1.5 game difference based on the schedule and expected results. I can see a potential of about 3 wins for both teams - we should be safely tucked away in that 3rd last spot.

 

[WorldFreeB]

Kylie not playing tomorrow, Tatum and Horford both questionable.

 

[Nathan S]

Whoa, Suns landed Fredette. They're not fucking around. Gonna take a special effort to pull out the L in Phoenix next week.
