Is Steven Adams good

I mean, I would automatically say "He's not $25 million a year good" but this is a brave new world

He's going to be a top 5 centre in this league for a while if he isn't one already.

This article has him top 8 and it appeared on the nba.com so it must be true! I actually have him ahead of a few of the others in the top 5 on that list, but I could be higher on him based mostly on the fact that he is an awesome Kiwi.

Does anyone know what Boban went as for Halloween? Actually, we should really have made an NBA halloween thread.
I guess if this was just a salary dump for OKC it makes sense, but otherwise...?
The S7 Edge is a legitimately good phone and that interview with Adams reiterated his top 5 centre in the leagueness. I would love to have him on my team.

Announcer talk run down from my pov.
Worst Homers:
Houston, San Antonio, Boston, Cleveland, Pacers. (Blazers would have been top but they are actually watchable this year.)

Best crew:
Twolves, Knicks, Dalls, Brooklyn.

Worst individual announcers:
Jon Barry, Chris Webber, Reggie, Clyde, Sean Elliot, Quin Buckner, Austin Carr, Stacey King. Tommy would be in this list, but he gets a weird pass.

Best individual announcers:
Bones, Walt, Jim Petersen.

I legitimately can't watch a Spurs/Houston game with the sound on unless it is nationally broadcast.

Lillard has been finishing MUCH better at the rim this year than any previous year. Here's a graphic. Early of course, but it's still been really nice to see.

He's also currently 3rd in the league in free throw attempts and makes. He's playing his mind out (on offense at least!). It's fun to watch.

What happened in the second half of last nights game? He had like 12 points at the half then ended up with 38 somehow. Was it all end of game fouls?

Here I was all excited to see potential NBA talent coming to Aus:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/sports/basketball/australia-college-basketball-recruiting.html?mtrref=undefined&_r=0

But these D-League changes could actually render that moot. With the lovely AU dollar, we can't pay them as much as they'll get there now.
Also, Terrence Ferguson has shown very little this year in the NBL.His backcourt team-mate Jerome Randle has been sensational though. Thibs should sign him.

Has that Ben Simmons one-and-done docco been released yet?

Somebody has to get the blame for all NBA technologies going down the toilet. NBA.com in 1996 was LIGHT-YEARS ahead of this. Maybe Adam Silver should be fired into the sun.

If they do actually uphold this, they're setting a pretty terrible precedent here. With the way the timer played out, etc etc it basically means that any time there is a normal human delay in starting the clock, the refs have the right to overrule that so the players essentially will never know when the clock is right.

League Pass continues to be loving trash. For all the poo poo the NBA does well, they continue to make it worse year after year.

ILP has been pathetic ever since the update. I pause a game, come back 3 minutes later and it has switched my feed or restarted the game completely or just started playing all on its own for no reason. It's atrocious.


Bashez posted:

This boggles my mind.

There was no incorrect impression of the time given to the Raptors in any meaningful capacity. Ross isn't looking at the clock and determining if he should shoot it at .2 or .4 seconds left, that's ridiculous.

You're the only person I've seen saying that he should have known exactly how much time was left and should have manually counted in his head the exact 2.4 seconds even though you can actually see him look at the clock during that 2.4 seconds. How on earth is he supposed to go "oh no, that is actually an incorrect clock because the guy touched the ball first and the referees didn't start the clock."

You're saying he should know this even though his back was turned to the clock when he was running towards the ball that had been deflected and couldn't possibly see a clock displaying the time and when it had started.

Like, really?

I feel like this thread needs more Adams quotes:

“I’m not really into them. I don’t really care,” Adams said of Westbrook’s triple-doubles. “It’s more so his energy and his leadership. And then as a dude, he’s just a really good guy. That’s all as a team we expect, and he comes and shows regardless of what the stat sheet says or whatever, that he’s just a good dude and makes everyone around him better. Top lad. Top lad.”

Melo's biggest problem besides age is that over the last couple of seasons he has not been able to play at PF much, and is it much easier to guard him with a SF. Don't blame him for his declining performance, blame Porzingis.

He hasn't played at pf much because he came out and said "don't play me at pf."
Speaking of trade talk, I feel like this season has had the last in-season trades in any of the last ten years. Has there been more than one trade made yet?
