Really hope they aren't rushing KD back. Those foot injuries are no joke.

If both teams are healthy it'd be an amazing series. Don't write off the Warriors against a healthy OKC.

I think he'll be fine if he's on a minute restriction.
We're all fucked western conference. It was fun while it lasted.
Great article by Zach Lowe on the massive imbalance between the Western and Eastern conferences.

Like whoa.

Yeah, this shit is absurd man. Something has to change.
Lowe says in that article that talks within the league are beginning about scrapping the current conference system, so there is hope.
Also a sidenote: everyone owes it to themselves to read everything Zach Lowe puts out. I've been reading Grantland lately during work downtime and for my money dude is the single best NBA writer around.

They apparently caught it extremely early which helps recovery time.

Bulls have a big test tonight.
Should honestly be a conference system like in the NFL or MLB

Whoa there... Anthony Davis is one of the league's 3 best players? He's good, but top 3? No way.
Its pretty massive steep after Lebron and KD anyway, so you can argue he is.
Gonna be a good game against the Mavs tonight, sadly I wont catch it but our defense should help big time. If Jimmy can lock down Ellis, and Pau/Noah can play some real solid defense on Dirk then we'll be good.
Hopefully we see some more Rose-esque plays out of Rose, specifically cause none of Dallas' guards are real defensive studs, Aminu is the only player who comes to mind and he plays forward. Thank god Rose is seemingly healthy, if all goes well he'll have his groove back by All-Star break

and then win MVP
Hes dominating as we speak and hes only 21, honestly idk who else would be the 3rd player. Maybe Harden or Curry. Definitely not Melo lol
Who else would you put there?
Top 5 in scoring, rebounds, blocks and steals. #1 in PER by a decent margin, third in win shares, top 5 in +/-

Obviously it's debatable, but most empirical evidence suggests that Davis is right up there with anyone in the league.

Maybe, but I think even that is a stretch, honestly. Maybe I just haven't seen enough Pelicans games. I'd have a hard time picking him over some of my faves Curry or Westbrook (wrong position I know), or, closer to his position, Aldridge or Griffin.
Davis easily outclasses anyone else at his position.
Curry I could see, and as a Warriors fan I certainly love Curry, but Davis impacts his team's defense in such a tangible way when you look at stats and metrics. Curry's defense has improved (and the Warriors are probably the best defensive team in the league) but he has a handful of great defensive players around him.

Is he a 4 or a 5? If he's a 5, then yeah, you are probably right, especially after checking out those stats you posted. But there are quite a few great 4's in the league right now.
Certainly, but Davis is the best of them by a decent margin.

The NFL and MLB conference systems are completely pointless now that the leagues have interleague play. Once you have a system where everyone plays everyone there's almost no reason to have conferences or divisions anymore.
I already like Davis far more than LMA or Blake, and he does outclass them in every statistic.. too bad his team backcourt is disgusting.

Who would you take over him sans Lebron and Durant?
Curry mayyyyyybe. I think AD is the MVP right now tho.
Jabari starting to looks very comfortable playing in this league, nice.
Or Marc Gasol.

I've been sleeping on him then I guess. I'll pay more attention now. Thanks for the heads up.
Sadly not hard to do. Pelicans don't get much attention or airtime as a result of not being very good overall.

Thank you based refs for putting Noah on the bench.
What's with Rose taking bad iso jump shots?

So LeBron, Kyrie, and Love all did 40-41 minutes tonight. Only 9 Cavs played, and 2 of those only barely did (sorry, Waiters).
82 games, Coach Blatt. And then the real season starts.

Cavs slipping into some really bad (lack of) defensive habits again tonight, always good to see a W, but really gotta clean that up against a team like the Bucks.
