2017-2018 Around the NBA

Yea but they turn right around and get the Kings top 1 protected '19 pick instead.

What a great trade that was by Ainge and he got absolutely killed here for it this summer.

As a Cavs fan, I'll take my chances with whatever they get in 2019, rather than a guaranteed pick of Ayton, Bamba, Bagley or Porter.

Wow, Barnes now Booker. Crazy night of games. Not to mention Lamb in Charlotte and Buddy Ball in MIA.

PHX needs a HC fast. They haven't had a single good offensive possession in OT. The fuck are they doing?

i know he hit the tying 3 in regulation...



If I were devin bookers teammates, id be fucking furious. two terrible forced shots at the end of OT over double teams.

Kid is a stud scorer but somebody needs to teach him how to actually play basketball or he will never ever make it big time in this league.

Philly will be in the playoffs and LA will be fighting for an 8 seed, as they are this year. This pick will be mid to late teens next year.

Bender had two horrible possessions. They didn't throw the ball to Greg Monroe once and he had a mismatch. They had 4 straight bad possessions and no timeout. They need a really good coach to come in there and help them. I don't even know who the top coach available is right now but they should be able to get somebody good in there.

2 GB of warriors despite our shit start

I don't know, it's coming from Sacramento next year. They are really good at losing.

They need to steal Kenny Atkinson from the nets he's got the brooklyn boys playing way too hard

I didn't see the Warrior game.

Was George or Melo effective in disrupting KD?

They did a decent job. Most of KD's stuff came on contested threes, mid-rangers [using his length], switches, and the occasional fast-break where neither was in position to guard him. PG was always in his face on threes.

 

[CHIMOCHIS]

I’lol what so after having the worst defense of all time Cavs are actually .5 game back from their destiny 2nd seed

Lmao

NBA you fucked up

 

[The Wizard of Moz]

I'd say it's probably closer to 80%, but I understand why people don't want to acknowledge it. He seeks out contact. He's like IT, in that regard. He's very good at putting the defense off balance and he takes advantage of it.

In the playoffs, when the refs tend to let more go, and teams can gameplan not to foul (look at how the Spurs defended him with everyone keeping their arms up at all times), it doesn't get the calls. Because he's not drawing contact and teams are more locked in.

Ok so serious question

What good is that style of play then? Literally the only time it matters it isn’t effective

DION WAITERS !!!!!!!

So is your argument that his game is solely predicated on fouls and he's not an elite scorer and, maybe, the best point guard in the game?
