Fair point! I was just enjoying the thought of a Dragic/Wiggins/Giannis/Porzingis/Embiid supermonster in 2022, with a bench that includes Jokic, Gobert, Simmons, Batum, Rubio, Ibaka, and Mudiay. Thanks for responding!

You know what they say: Bol is life.

I Dante think they’ll escape the drop this time.

Couldn’t agree more. This game made up for suffering through last night’s Brockpocalypse.

As a diehard Cleveland sports fan, I love this team and I want it to win so damn badly. Ten down, six to go. We can do this.
