Bamba leaves a lot to be desired. Very weak right now. Was tough watching him getting bullied by Embiid...no contest.

Looks like the league( at least in preseason) doesn't allow moving screens, so it really hurts Bamba's projection as he is not a very good screener.

Mitchell Robinson completely blown Bamba out of the water as a Roll Man right now. Just on a different level as an athlete running in a straight line. What a steal by the Knicks. Good defender and rebounder also.

Kevin Knox is pretty nice.

Couldn't watch the Suns-Kings and Hawks-Pelicans as it wasn't streamed.

Perhaps the biggest facepalm I saw on rgm recently, and there are many, was "we can no longer use the 'Bulls won 55 without MJ' argument because Kyrie won 55 with Boston without LeBron." :banghead:

Anyway, Kyrie's statement re: 2016 isn't surprising in the sense that he basically let LeBron lie there after the final Draymond foul when everyone else gathered around to help him up.

Was nothing before LeBron got here?

2 time all star before bron came back and someone LeBron thought was 'something' to leave the miami heat and come back for.

Not his fault the franchise was incapable of putting a team around him that's good enough to win basketball games his first 3 years

Speaking of,...
Whats Earl Clark doing with his life right now? Lmao.

Still sad he didn't seem to enjoy that championship. But I did, so I don't care. One of the happiest days in my life.

He describes in multiple ways why he cared about that game winning shot while simultaneously devaluing that great achievement for himself, his teammates and the city of Cleveland for no good reason -- "It felt great"..."it felt good"..."pretty special"..."In my DNA to get riled up" and talks about celebrating that moment with his family. I don't believe he felt that way initially with all those emotions swirling but it certainly does validates the Kyrie wanted out AFTER winning the title talk.

It's sad that he went from being one of my favorite cavaliers to a self centered prick with an ego bigger than the team.

Is this what people are taking away from this interview?
 
I very, very, very much think Durant is leaving next summer.

I DON'T, however, think the Lakers are a lock or something. I think he's gonna take a long look at Washington and potentially a team in Texas (Dallas?).

The noise gets to him and he hears it. And he also thinks his move to GSW is the same as LBJ moving to Miami and thus I don't think he ever planned on staying there forever, just long enough to get enough rings where people can't argue with him. They win this year and he's leaving.

LeBron easily re-signs in Miami under these circumstances:

If Bosh fit better offensively, Wade wasn't breaking down, and Micky Arison doesn't amnesty Miller (lol) while LeBron is taking a discount and Pat Riley doesn't have as big of an ego AND they beat the Spurs.

LeBron isn't walking away from 3 championships in 4 years.

KD would be leaving a team that wins 3 championships in 3 years (yeah give them the title) with a perfect complimentary superstar and all-stars in their primes in a GREAT system under a player's coach? Just not buying it. Knicks fans are hoping it's true and Lakers fans also think they've got a shot at Klay. The only thing that breaks them up is if Joe Lacob decides he doesn't want to pay both Klay and Green the max next season.
 
The Knicks are going to be BRUTAL this season. Not only are they going to be bad, but with no real point guard, they're going to be miserable to watch.

Honestly I hope we don’t play KP at all this season.

Yea and no one saw LeBron going to the Lakers a year ago either. Shit happens.

And he doesn't like the way people talk about him. Mark it down, hes leaving.
