Kibner posted:"Man, what I wouldn't give to win the draft lottery and get Anthony Davis!" I was so excited for Oden and then he just crumbled. This is like an inverse situation where the player lived up to the hype but his entire team died around him.

Like, that's only just barely more than 10% of the way through the season and they need a 16th roster spot because they can't possibly field 12 active players at a time.

The following are not in order, just the players that I think are currently the ten best: Lebron, Curry, Durant, George, Harden, Westbrook, Leonard, CP3, Davis, and Griffin. To be fair, I've only seen Giannis' stats this season. They look great so far.

being what it is, I need to adopt a team (preferably eastern conference.) Normally, I would revert to my #2 team but the Pelicans are also having a difficult season. Somebody sell me on their team with playoff hopes.

chunkles posted:Apparently according to Calvin Watkins Donatas is looking into playing overseas. I guess he really wants some cashish because according to Stein's article if he does that he remains an RFA. Maybe he hates loving Oklahoma. Sorry Metapod but it sucks there. Death By The Blues posted:Also, Carroll is totally shot, he cannot move laterally and his shoot looks terrible. He was never very good. He had one good contract year season and a couple of extremely ok I guess years just before that. Coach Bud pulled a Spurs Supporting Actor Maneuver on the Raptors. Dejan Bimble posted:The warriors need actual rim protection, not just weakside shot blocking and fumbled lobs 0% chance that team gets him to be LARRY SANDERS instead of larry...sanders...if you know what I mean. Libertine posted:Questions I don't actually know the answers to: Durant is a better one on one perimeter defender because of his length but he's worse at sticking to a role and doing what he's supposed to do. Bogut is dramatically better in every way including their shared specialty, not being called for flagrant fouls. However, Zaza doesn't die if asked to play over 20 minutes a game. It's not the parts, but the whole. Also, don't forget they lost Ezeli, who is a valuable piece on the same terms as Bogut (do not ask them to play starters' minutes), and replaced him with West, who is a garbage defensive player. They were good and they'll be fine, but this defense is going to be embarrassed in the playoffs just like they were without Bogut last year. MourningView posted:They really are super loving fun. D'Antoni rules and I'm not just saying that because he's from West Virginia and I'm obligated to do so. Paulocaust posted:Is this the best white guy dunk ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDyBSTQDwH8 No Fast Luck posted:I feel like Hakeem Olajuwon is a good comp for Embiid. He's much bigger and stronger than Hakeem ever was. I think Hakeem was the best center ever adjusting for size, but Shaq/Kareem/Wilt were so much bigger that it doesn't matter. 7'2" Hakeem would make a joke of the league, it's much too soon to say that's Embiid.

NEW ORLEANS -- The nameplate above Terrence Jones’ locker at the Smoothie King Center has been incorrect since the season began. Jones spells his first name with three E's, yet his locker boasts a rogue A for a spelling of “Terrance Jones.” Jones’ jersey number on the display is off too. He wears No. 9 in New Orleans, but his locker claims No. 6, the one he wore with the Houston Rockets. “It’s crazy, man,” Jones recently admitted.

Embiid and Rodriguez are very fun to watch. The rest of the roster, sadly, not so much. Also, Ilyasova is like Jeff Green insofar that fans are usually excited when their team gets him, but after a couple of weeks/months they realize that the dude is just blah. edit: https://twitter.com/ZachLowe_NBA/status/795248888324247553

I think Mike D'antoni is a fine coach as long as you give him a lineup that vaguely resembles the 04-06 Phoenix Suns.

tarbrush posted:I knew there was someone missing from that list. Yeah. He can be fine on ball but his positioning can be terrible. Like standing in the middle between his man at the 3 point line and the man driving so you end up not guarding/helping either. Most of it seems to be mental rather than physical limitations so he should improve immensely. Still only 21.
