@The_Uncontested Wolves likely favourites against Lakers now? Potential round 2 of Spurs v Wolves becomes an interesting match up also if Ant fully fit. No easy path either. Not without a chance a repeat of last yearβs WCF still in the frame also.
@Tayler_P15 Happy for him. As an Aussie thunder fan-was tough to see him go but was always best move for him (& for us getting Caruso in return). Lead PG opportunity was never going to be at OKC & Dub a much better SGA compliment back court player than Josh. Win/win (but our win has a ring)!
@Tayler_P15 decent deadline period for LA. I hope OKC do a graphic also after the ASB:
BREAKING NEWS: The Western Conference leading Thunder has added Chet Holmgren. A 7ft plus centre with elite defensive skills that pair with great perimeter shooting & spacing ability.
We win deadline.
@1116sen@SENBreakfast Agree with last bit though - if Freo are to be a true finals team - no better opportunity to show it tonight while Pies missing some of their best.
@1116sen@SENBreakfast Maybe "less experienced at AFL level" would be better wording. Few of Pies "young" players have been around in VFL or on list for a while just unable to get game in a premiership side. Sullivan only played 3 games but is 26yr old recruit. Richards 24yrs old but only 2 games etc.
@JacobKniffen@The_Uncontested Yep. And their guys who arenβt renown shooters lighting it up on flip side. Iβve got faith we can turn it around. These young guys havenβt shown me any time yet this amazing season not to. Will be up early Sunday A.M. Western Australian time supporting either way. What a season.
@EvansTanya86@jdsilva_ 100%. Dort/SGA/Wiggins have gone 1 of 8 combined to start. Giddey had to sit based on his start but overall - offense is lacking to begin this one even when Gid taken off court. Let's hope we start making some shots!
@JacobKniffen Remember the constant want for .500 all last season? We were always frustratingly just behind it. Small sample size but using 0.500 as a data point, early on 3-3 is still a good start after 6 which includes the defending champs & recent 4 time champs IMO. Trajectory feels π.
@Tayler_P15 I think Jackβs going to tick @JacobKniffen βs βgot that DAWG in himβ box. Good 2 way pick up for us. (not just from a biased Aussie Thunder supporter).
@The_Uncontested@NBADraftWass@MattBabcock11 1st thoughts if this was to be Presti and co thinking is having Lively as the 2nd team big when Chet sits. And then a lot of faith in Ous or Poku as the 1st team 4 instead of drafting for that position at 12. Donβt see Chet and Lively in a line up too often I would think?
