@bringmback23714 @CoachKlop @CoachKlop2 @SonjaBrummer @CoachKarl22 kloppy was a great coach and even a better person. Proud to be his friend. RIP

The Pistons are… complicated. Top management has hired (and fired) "name " coaches. Casey, Van Gundy, Williams. 0 playoff wins last nine years (counting this season) indicates top management is putting square pegs in round holes. It’s hard to win, culture is real (good and bad)!

MVP is a whole season's body of work. Team success/winning/ clutch plays etc. Happen every week. However, Baltimore going into SF and dominating in a late season game is huge. I would have a difficult time at this point in the season selecting anyone over @Lj_era8 for MVP.

[Bob Whitsitt @RealTraderBob]

Watching the Seahawks game right now. 8 min to go. We need more blitzing from this defensive unit. Need to pressure Purdy so he can’t have so many easy throws and check downs like he has had all afternoon!

[Bob Whitsitt @RealTraderBob]

I think the T-Wolves sitting at #1 is the biggest surprise. Edwards keeps dominating and is becoming more consistent. Conley is the steady veteran floor leader they need and Finch is figuring out how to play Gobert/Towns.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Which team has surprised you the most this season?

• Magic (No. 2 seed in East)
• Timberwolves (No. 1 seed in West)
• Mavericks (No. 3 seed in West)

To anyone asking why I decided to write my book “Game Changer” now! Check out the full interview on the JR SportBrief show!

[Bob Whitsitt @RealTraderBob]

Had a great time on the @JRSportBrief show on CBS Sports radio! Here are my thoughts on the Draymond Green suspension before the verdict on his suspension was given out, line was definitely stepped over a little this time.

There is just too many guys on the Lakers which leads to fewer shots for him. There’s also the pressure of playing with Lebron now !

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

Gabe Vincent’s first 3 games with the Lakers:

2 points (1-3 FG)
7 points (3-10 FG)
6 points (3-8 FG)

[Bob Whitsitt @RealTraderBob]

Many current players could be on my list but I’ll give a shout out to Russell Westbrook. He plays every possession with intensity and has done so every game in his career. You’ll never see his name in a sentence with the term “load management”

[Hoop Central @TheHoopCentral]

Which NBA player will you always defend?

All three should have terrific seasons but I pick Scoot. He will have the ball in his hands and probably play more games than the other two.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Call it now: who’s your pick to win ROTY?

[Bob Whitsitt @RealTraderBob]

@HIDOE808 @LAClippers @HawaiiHTA Kudos to the Clips!

[Bob Whitsitt @RealTraderBob]

Bulls can finish between 6-12 in east. Playoffs, play-in tourney, or totally out of everything. I think they are in a big group with NY, Orl, Tor, Atl, Ind, Brooklyn. I have Boston, Mil, Cle, Phil, Miami in top 5. My opinions will change after I see the preseason games.

[NBA @NBA]

The Bulls locked in on #NBAMediaDay 🔒

What do you expect from Chicago this season?

[Bob Whitsitt @RealTraderBob]

Daniel Jones NBA equivalent could be Ben Simmons. Each had some success, each is young, each signed BIG contract, neither has won anything 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Who is the NBA equivalent to Daniel Jones?

[Bob Whitsitt @RealTraderBob]

@Riang38903796 @Bucks @trailblazers Good trade(s) for Blazers. They have a direction, young core, and future ( picks). They were going nowhere with Dame. Bucks are All in. Trade might convince Giannis to extend contract. Nice counter (Holiday) by C’s. Exciting trade(s) to kick off training camps!

[Bob Whitsitt @RealTraderBob]

Dame to Bucks. My thoughts after the dust settles.
