2nd game of an 82 game season.

I know....and they're still good.

 

[DJ Fieri]

@trojanfan12, @ChiefsLakers67 what do you think about tonight's game vs the Buffs?

 

[Black Adam]

Had you just said you don't want him, while foolish, not as foolish as naming guys who could exploit TT badly.......who haven't.

dance.

not gonna let it die, huh...?

and you wonder why i laugh at your over-inflated ego...

how about i say whatever i want, WHENEVER i want, and you sit there and be helpless to do a damn thing about it...

do a Michael Jackson...

 

[msgkings322]

I love Shaq.....and Worthy would have his hands full defending TD.

Kobe and Jordan going at it. Hakeem and Shaq (Hakeem dominated him but that was rookie Shaq not 2001 Shaq). Curry dropping bombs. Pippen defending everyone.

You NEVER let stuff die, come on man!

I'm innocent...

Siakam going to be a top 15/top 20 player by end of year

"I loved what he did, that's what we all had in mind when he came here," star point guard Damian Lillard told reporters. "I've never seen anybody guard Jokic by themselves that well so consistently. ... What he was doing was very impressive. I told him that's the type of impact we're going to need from him every night."

Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts termed it as "a great opening" for Whiteside, who has repeatedly expressed his happiness over being dealt to Portland.

Cannot say I knew much about him at all before the draft, but heard a couple long interviews here and seemed like he was a level headed kid.

Had a big head at USC and got in a spot of trouble.

Hopefully, his suspension was enough of a wake up call to remind him that it could all be taken away from him, if he doesn't fly right.

As for his game, he plays a lot like Harden.

As you can imagine, that's both good and bad at times.

Sure looks like he's on a Giannis-lite type trajectory.

Dude, he didn't want Lebron.

So, not wanting TT really isn't that surprising.

I hated Chris Paul, before, during and after, his stint with the Clippers.

But, I was happy when he helped turn us into a playoff team, and no longer a laughing stock.

Some people are able to tolerate guys for the betterment of their teams.

@ChiefsLakers67 isn't one of them....lol

But, hey....

At least he's consistent.

not to mention tall, witty, devilishly clever,oh, and man of the year charisma ...

oh, and humble. yes, yes, very very humble...

 

[flyerhawk]

Yeah...why would anyone want a double double guy who can switch out and guard the perimeter as well as most or all centers, will play any role asked and will be among league leaders in offensive rebounds.

He's averaged a double double once in his career. Last year. 11/10.

TT is a perfectly decent player. But he has no perimeter shot so he tends to clog up the paint on the offensive side.

@WiggyRuss

Wiggy's been having some really stupid takes lately. Has he been right about anything non obvious?

 

[flyerhawk]

Is this TT & Whiteside crap really happening?

Yup. Apparently these 2 are the key missing cogs that teams are just salivating for that requires constant discussion.

Is this a trick question...?

Yup. Apparently these 2 are the key missing cogs that teams are just salivating for that requires constant discussion.

I wonder who's better? Has anyone done a thread comparing them?

 

[Gman]

Siakam going to be a top 15/top 20 player by end of year

I agree. Siakam is impressive.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

So, how long before Dennis Smith Jr. gets dealt again?

...and, who actually needs him?

4 mins.

The Knicks have managed to give all 76 of their combo forwards decent minutes.

But, Smith can't even back up Elfrid Payton?
