Mad Dog clearly isnโt watching the Lakers. Since Luka joined them, they have only lost once to Denver with him playing, while winning 4 times. Clearly LA owns Denver. ๐

The spurs and thunder might not play their player’s against the nuggets if the playoff seeds are already locked in. Nuggets might get those teams resting their players for the playoffs

– Same SPG as OG Anunoby
– Better FG% than Cade Cunningham
– Better 3PT% than Donovan Mitchell

The reason the hawks are surging this season isn’t the fact that they got rid of Trae Young it’s more about the fact of all the talent they added..multiple players including Nikiel Alexander-Walker and McCollum ntm Jalen Johnson is finally healthy..now imagine all that with Trae
