also the Eastern conference is really good this year

When Andre Drummond is a MVP candidate, times are a changing.

Paul George has been better, but Drummond has been great

I have some insane theory that the sixers will get him but lol

 

[Two Words]

haha wtf? Are you being serious? a 10 game sample? His career numbers are so lousy. He takes 14 shots to make 15 points per 36 minutes. He averages less than 1 steal a game per 36 minutes, he averages 1 block a season for his career. His shooting numbers are average at the very best, shooting a career 42% from the field, 35% from 3, and 79% from the line. Hes not a "pretty good" player. JJ had a good run in the playoffs the year they won, but outside of that, the guy is beyond mediocre. He cashed in on his hot streak in the playoffs and was an absolute dumpster fire for the timberwolves. There are so many backup PGs in the league I would take over that guy. If that's who you value as a good player, your views on what makes a basketball player good are broken.

Eh. He's got some pros and cons. I've always felt like there's been games where Dallas were really able to exploit him and other games where he was a serious liability.

 

[Cheddahz]

Remember when the Suns had that plan last season by having three point guards?

I have very mixed feelings about Drummond.

I still think he has very limited offensive skill but you can't argue with the impact and numbers.

 

[RedAssedApe]

god damnit. lakers can't tank with kobe out. they need their commander back

 

[Jack Remington]

3 wins in a row. 3 in a fucking row, are you kidding me Lakers?

This stupid stretch is going to ruin the entire season. I don't know wtf these idiots are doing. Mitch needs to lay down the law.

We're five fucking games behind the Sixers now.

The Sixers are the Warriors of tanking right now, man. You just gotta hope you can at least be the Spurs or Cavs of tanking.

THey need to be shopping Lou Williams, Nick Young and Roy Hibbert for like 2022 2nd round picks. I'm not even joking.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

There is only one to blame

Nick Young credits Lakers winning partly to Kanye West shouting him out on "Facts." Young: "That's our anthem before the game."

I'm all for the Lakers to keep with winning

Give us your draft pick

Somewhat paraphrased..

Kobe doing analysis for TNT with the other 3 would be glorious.

Would that mean no more Shaq?

Please tell me Shaq would be gone.

Elton Brand signs with the 76ers, making him the only player over the age the age of 30 on the team and now the undisputed team leader (sorry Kendall Marshall)

Blake Griffin would like to have a word.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

D-Rose's MRI was clean and he practiced, no word on whether he's playing tomorrow.

Came to post this..good news!

NO.

I'm probably one of the few here who likes Shaq in ITNBA. Analysis most of times isn't on the level of Kenny's or Chucks but he does gullible stuff that only he can pull off. Kobe seems an all business kind of guy though.

Elton Brand signs with the 76ers, making him the only player over the age the age of 30 on the team and now the undisputed team leader (sorry Kendall Marshall)

Wow. Elton Brand still in the league.. I thought he was in China or Philippines playing ball.

And here's great read he wrote about his return.

The truth is, my decision to return to the NBA isn’t about money, and it isn’t about rings. It isn’t even about me, really, although every athlete would like to go out on his or her own terms. It’s about repaying what’s owed, about making sure that the young men who follow in my footsteps get what they’re entitled to (and what I haven’t always given them).
It’s not so much that I failed the guys I was tasked with mentoring over the years; it’s that I barely even tried. I never took the time to share the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s writing with them. I never sincerely answered their questions about what David West was trying to warn them about during NBPA meetings. I didn’t tell them why they should be reading Etan Thomas’ essays.
I was simply too busy following the NBA blueprint that had been engrained in me from the beginning: Play well, keep your head down, offend as few people as possible, and get paid.

yes, just seems hes overworked....its the longest period the dude has played normally in what...3 years lol. Hoiberg isn't stupid and doesn't run him down like Thibs would. It's the best thing about Hoiberg.....tbh, we probably would have seen maybe 3 minutes of playing time for Bobby Portis even with Noah out because Thibs would be playing Gasol like 40 minutes a fricken game.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Would be nice if the Cavs played some D, but Toronto's looking pretty good this year.

 

[Starphoenix]

Jonathon Simmons is balling against the Bucks right now. Man, this guy is going to be really good if the Spurs continue to develop him.

 

[eBay Huckster]

with Mozgov apparently regressing into a trash heap and Thompson being undersized as hell, I'm surprised the D isn't even worse

Well, I know Mozgov came into the season with an injury that worried him. He hasn't talked about it since, but it's obviously still an issue. Although he's getting some playing time late now.

Nice to see Kyrie taking over late, boy have we missed him.

 

[Silkworm]

Come on Twolves! Don't let the Lakers gain any ground on the 76ers.

 

[ViciousDS]

not going to lie......Paul George is fast as fuck.....watch that guy move off the ball is scary. Monta Ellis also awkwardly fits in with Indiana and seems to work well with someone who can move as fast as he can lol.

 

[Fjordson]

Harrison Barnes is finally back! Sounds like Curry and Ezeli are still banged up though.

 

[Jarate]

The Sixer's are winning

They're gonna try their hardest to lose this game though

 

[Jack Remington]

Fuck yes. Lakers gonna move up in the standings. Sixers just need to hold on.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Kyrie was Mr. 4th Quarter again LeBron sat the entire 4th. Hope to see a lot more of that.

honestly, feels so damn good to see that again

 

[Jarate]

SIXERS!!!!!

 

[Jack Remington]

Cavs need to be careful with how they handle LeBron now that he's in his decline years.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

'Til next time Cavs, when Demarre Carroll is healthy.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Raps are the Hawks of last year.

Masai needs to just make changes to this core.

 

[Silkworm]

Celtics are going to blow this in the last few minutes aren't they? SMH. Czzzzzzzzzzz.....

 

[Randolph Freelander]

'Til next time Cavs, when Demarre Carroll is healthy.

Spoiler

Then again, the bad guy plays for Toronto, doesn't he.

 

[Tom Penny]

They are still playing like crap. Only thing that saved them was the 1st quarter. They played like trash and the Nets couldn't throw a 3 in the ocean.

 

[Starphoenix]

Spurs are up by 20 and already in triple digits with 7 mins left in the 4th against the Bucks. Pretty good.

 

[ViciousDS]

this pacers and heat game started off really bad.....fouls everywhere 33% shooting. Second half has been soooooo much better and more fun. Good game now.

 

[Messi]

This Rockets team has bad mojo. This is terrible. Down by 10 against a jazz team missing 4 players. What a shit season so far after how fun last year was. Players need to grow a spine and fix this shit.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

How you gon travel tho?

I'm a Heat fan, but they were getting some nice calls in the 4th.

Spo pls lol.

dwayne wade and that euro step man.....so smooth still

 

[MiamiWesker]

Wade!!!!!!!!!!

 

[detectiveconan1]

I was just about to post about how bad late game execution has been this season.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

What did PG13 just get Jimmy B'd again
Fossil Wade beating you like that.
