NBA Over/Unders, Part 1: The West |

LoweThis was one of the toughest lines for me. And, you know, Mahoney and I were talking about this team yesterday. We said, but like Kyrie's back. He looks he looks very good in the pre in his one preseason game that I've seen him play.

Loweone would assume there'll be some rust coming off an ACL maybe they'll they'll give him days off now and then but still it's been

Bill18 months since the ACL though or maybe even 19 months yeah so he might be 100 if they

Loweif they have two of the top 25 players in the league is that not grounds for an over all on its own and is it just everything after that is just over complicating a discussion because I do think Cooper flag is going to be that this season he keeps growing I guess he'll shoot better he's just an awesome awesome basketball player the context of this roster is a little better for him with Kyrie around to take some of the

Loweball handling load to be an elite elite elite off -ball shooter when flag has the ball the rest of it's a little mucky I'd feel really really good if like I knew anything about Derek Lively's prognosis at all and I don't but that the case for the over is just is it just as simple as two of the top 25 guys play on one team that's generally like a

Bill500 team and even beyond that if you look at the 24 mavs blueprint that made the finals two elite offensive players some fun role players

Billand just just kind of in games every night and then able to take stuff in the last five minutes it feels like a playing team in the house it feels like an easy two -for -one or three -for -one trade partner because you look at all the stuff they have like you know Morris Johnson's going to be, I think, good right away for them.
