This is true.even watching games like the twolves vs the suns is fun. I remember watching a Lakers vs pacers back in 2013 or 2014 and my god was that bad, like Belgium league bad. Speaking of the wolves its nice to see Dunn kinda improving and while Wiggins won't be the next LeBron I think he can be igoudala 2.0. Which is still nice.

With an offense like the Rockets, you're gonna have nights where you shoot 6-38 from 3. Somehow they only lost to the Spurs by 2.

seriously. I wanted to wait to the end of the game to say this too. Them and the 6ers just look like a bunch of half decent pros who have never played together.

On his rest days Embiid just looks at Okafor's DRPM and seethes

"Sam would have taken Porzingis if ownership let him" he reassures himself

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

At the time Okafor was getting talked about like a 1B to KAT's 1A. People were kinda iffy about the Zingis pick. But holy poo poo imagine if the Sixers somehow landed the #1 pick that year.

People really thought Lakers were taking Okafor until a few days before.. people said he was lazy and fat iirc..

Al Jefferson was hot that year so that style of play wasn't seen as a dead end that year.

I am seeing that Bigs are only game changers if they can do D and score, otherwise their value is the same as other players really, maybe even less because they are so rare that they take special handling.

dwight was the last one.

I don't think you can him underated as he had to go on tnt to explain how he is not. orlando and lakers both suck afterwards and still do. He could've been better with the rockets, but he was broken by then, and IMHO, Harden is probably not a great teammate either, dwight shouldn't be the scapegoat just because he sucks now and we side with winners.

He's a dude that probably could have used some good mentoring, but he idologize shaq and kg, and welp; plus injuries.. nothing can ever take away that magical year where​ he out dueled Lebron with that lovely team that made all their 3s.. it was Hakeem like. ate many crawfish watching that series.

too bad lakers had 3 skilled 7footers that year.

the back surgery kinda hosed up his career but it's hard to watch harden/capela run pick and rolls and think the rockets being offensively unwatchable was anything but a result of his insistence on being a big time post scorer.
