NBA Over/Unders, Part 2: The East |

HouseAnd the nucleus is young. It's young enough. I mean, it's the observations act just made, which is, you know, a slight step back this season because you might really have something next season. And I think that's an easy enough thing to sell to the fan base. You don't want to rush anybody back.

HouseWe're too early in this experiment. The only thing that gives me hesitation, any pause whatsoever, is it disrespectful to Charles Lee? Is it disrespectful to Charles Lee to say that this team won't win 38 games? Because if Brandon Miller is healthy, he's another guy, another leap guy that has a whole other sort of chapter, it feels like to me.

HouseI'm taking the under on the notion that it does make more sense for them. The asset building has been very impressive. No reason to sort of stop that, bite down hard on anybody right now unless something crazy revealed itself in terms of the trade market during the season.

House37 doesn't feel that disrespectful, so I'm taking the under.

LoweThe queasiness of taking the under is Charles Lee.

LoweIt's like, hey, Kobe White was pretty goddamn good for the last couple of years, and now we're giving him spacing with Nas Reed as like a true spacing four.

LoweThat's a powerful potential offense. Maybe they're going to miss Lomelo's playmaking and pull -up three -point shooting.
