The Raptors as the 5th or 6th seed in a "rebuilding year" is pretty fun.

One little mini-tank in Tampa and they get Scottie Barnes out of it.

I've always had a soft spot for Russ but that trade is going to go down as an all timer.

The Bulls will sometimes, but not all of the time, beat the Magic. Depending.

But did you enjoy the regular season? All things considered your boys put together a pretty decent season.

I did until the All Star break or so. Crazy how important Lonzo was to them.

They just seemed to run out of gas once Caruso and Ball went out. Encouraging chemistry though.

Vooch is a problem for me. He's bad at basketball.

He can no longer shoot threes so he's basically useless. Also doesn't seem to have any touch around the rim. Where DDRs shots always bounce three times and go in, Voochs will almost always roll off. And he's a turnstile on defense.

The only team I think I will be able to stomach winning the championship is probably Memphis.

The East was pretty fun this year, everybody had their struggles many completely self created. It’s close though.

The play ins seem to be missing piece(s) but it should be a pretty good playoff run.

Yeah, I'm all for the Celtics obviously, but I'll likely root for Memphis in the West.
