Who's coming out of the east this year? Gotta be Cavs or Celtics right?

Thunder @ Raptors

I heard Jak was questionable. I hope he plays. I want to see how the Raptors right now stack up against such an elite team.

Man, SGA is fun. I say this as a Canadian lol. I don't follow him closely, but he sounds like a real winner and a leader, and that leading 2 teams (Thunder, Canada) might give him an advantage of experience longer term

We ain't there yet. I think we need to tank this year, get a real good prospect.

Yeah, that was no contest. Given how bad the East is; Scottie, RJ, and Jak all playing well; and Ochai and the rookies all playing well - I feel like we're a play-in team by talent. I think we're going to need to actively tank if we want a top pick. It's clear that we could handicap this team by moving Jak, but then we'd have a big hole to fill afterwards. I didn't get starting Bruno over Mogbo, but Darko realized pretty quick Mogbo was giving them better minutes

Yeah we're winning games we shouldn't, like the way we own Pacers, and beat Heat. This personnel isn't ready to "compete". I don't want to be another perennial play-in team.
