If the Blazers get the 8 seed they can take the Spurs or Warriors, if Durant's still gimpy, to six games. Super fun to watch right now.

lol no they can't beat either team even with out KD. in fact this is more appropriate answer

So the top 4 is established?

Fultz
Ball
Jackson
Tatum

Yep. Very little chance the order of the top 4 changes.

I would've said Jackson had potential to go 2nd, but with the possible character issues coming up, I think Lonzo is solidly ahead of him.

You also sometimes hear about Tatum > Jackson, but only sometimes

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I think if Jackson and especially Lonzo have great tournament runs (while Fultz is at home watching) there is the possibility they could jump him. If the Lakers somehow get the 1st pick, provided they don't trade it, I could see them taking Ball. He seems like the kind of player Magic would fawn over.

 

[Bread]

I wouldn't mind any of those players, thank you Nets!!!!

 

[Sanjuro]

Wow. Ray Allen was the cancer all along.

Who do you prefer for LA?

No clue who will actually turn out better, but I think I personally prefer Fultz slightly over Lonzo. His weird shot is still a bit off-putting.

What about smith?

I'm so glad Danny's sticking to his guns on this one. Fuck Ray. He's a great big phony!

Fultz or Jackson (if he keeps his head on straight). I'm starting to turn the corner a bit more on Lonzo. I think he has a lot of skills that can translate over to the Pro game, but i still have my reservations as to whether or not he's a franchise PG. he's going to need to adapt his scoring a lot to the kinds of defenses and athlete he'll see in the NBA for that to be the case.

 

[jbug617]

I think Danny would take Jackson.

 

[msdstc]

At 1? Fultz or bust

 

[Jarate]

Pretty much Fultz or bust at this stage if you get the #1 pick.

Spoiler

They trade the #1 overall pick for Jahlil Okafor when Billy King finally reveals himself to be Danny Ainge this entire time

 

[Tall4Life]

If for whatever reason Lonzo is drafted to the Celtics, will Lavar go absolutely apeshit?

 

[Hyperactivity]

Lakers and Knicks are the only teams I see even possibly taking Lonzo over Fultz

Are you saying that because of our poor decision in the past, or because you are high on Lonzo?

Because he goes to UCLA and fans will riot if they don't take Lonzo

I have nothing to base it on, but something tells me Magic would prefer Lonzo to Fultz. Both because he's the local kid, but also because of the way he plays, and the comparisons he's elicited (Magic/Kidd).

Fair assumption. Fultz is more of the modern day of which is that he's more of a scorer who can also dish it, but isn't pass first. Ball is mostly a pure PG, but he can fit the modern scheme due to his shooting. I'm not convinced his shot form will work in the NBA.

What was the point of drafting Ingram x Russel then
Can't play all 3 at the same time or will they ship off Russel


Ray was why the Celtics would have won x lost the 2010 finals
He made us not go back to LA in game 2
He made us go back to LA in game 3
Kobe destroyed Ray in the 4th quarter of game 7, should have left Tony Allen in

huh? why couldn't they play Ball/Russell/Ingram?

 

[friskykillface]

Deng the god needs minutes

I forget how tall Ingram / Ball is

 

[LockOfTheWeek]

Ball/Russel/Ingram works pretty much perfectly as far as fit goes.

Helped them win a title but I will never forgive breaking the three point record one game then going 0'fer the next game on tons of good looks.

 

[Sanjuro]

Ray Allen was a mistake. He was nothing but game.

What the fuck are the Warbitches bitching about? Why should they care how OKC treats Durant's return?

where does Paul George fit?

 

[LockOfTheWeek]

where does Paul George fit?

Fits perfectly as another unattainable big name guy who wont give the Lakers a look in.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

6th man

Celtics Wizards game should be fun tonight.
Think season right now is 2-1 WAS, so they can lock up the tiebreaker.

 

[Sanjuro]

I hope my man Jerebko is locked up for trying to kill one of the Wizards tonight.

4 lyfe. It would be just too sweet.

An actual legitimately meaningful game tonight.

 

[Sanjuro]

Refs just giving the game to Washington.

He's got 2 rings, and unlike Paul Pierce, to my knowledge he's never shit his shorts during a playoff game.

Ray>Paul

Magic are bad

Remember when everybody thought Hennigan and his Spurs/Thunder pedigree was going to be the savior and it turns out he might be as bad if not worse than Otis Smith?

 

[Chase17]

Rozier Jennings Beef!

Must see TV!

 

[phanphare]

steph stuntin on em lol

 

[TTG]

This is as much as I've wanted the dubs to win a game in a long while. Fuck OKC.

 

[Servbot24]

How can you root against OKC?

 

[Sanjuro]

How can you root against OKC?

I can think of about every reason.

 

[Servbot24]

:|

 

[TTG]

How can you root against OKC?

Kanter, Roberson, those goobers in the stands, Westbrook's stat padding defensive rebounds. Quite easily. Mostly I just want them to beat the shit out of OKC without Durant.

EDIT: And what about this: https://twitter.com/bustedcoverage/status/843976805841170432

 

[-tetsuo-]

Roberson plz

 

[sf2fanatic]

I'm dying at those free throws 😅😅😅😂

 

[TTG]

WTF is KG wearing? Even on mute Area 21 is intolerable.

 

[finowns]

That area 21.. wtf
