Ugh. Him over Middleton is a tough call.

I think I take prime Dray.

Definitely not over Beal though.

Khris wasn’t Khris immediately.

Took him some time.

Dray was…….THAT…..damn near immediately.

It was crazy to see him slap the shit out of Blake, literally and figuratively, damn near from the start.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yeah Williams looks like an all star. What I have to remind myself with him though is that even though it’s his first year he is 22 years old. I still think he has a very high ceiling though.

Dame kept rising.

Not close to the same type of player.

But, you get my point.

He still has room for improvement.

He isn’t Shane Battier.

Good player, plateaued early.

Redraft now where does he go?

Redraft now where does he go?

Not below 8.

I kinda like Shaedon Sharpe.

But, it depends on how far you drop Jabari Smith.

I am definitely taking him over Dyson Daniels and I like Daniels.

Sochan, Davis and even his teammate Dieng?

Fug outta here.

Mathurin, Ivey, Murray are pretty good.

 

[dtgold88]

So these were the win totals before the season. Still 16 games left but BOS, PHI, MIL, NY and CLE all going to get those. TOR & ATL not so much

Charlotte might fall short, too.

I heard Pierce will try once again to sell his autographed '08 Finals wheelchair when the playoffs start.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Dude has been their top shot creator throughout the 4 chips.

Boards, defense, assists , rings trump Crowder….imo

They are about the same size.

Only one of them is guarding all 5 positions with a modicum of success.

My bad. I wasn’t say Drummond or Crowder over Draymond. I was talking about another unrelated swap I wanted to make on that list.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I mean, the Lakers for sure.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I mean, the Lakers for sure.

Yep GS isn’t playing defense. Denver can match GS’s shooting

 

[fightinfunbags]

I mean, the Lakers for sure.

Warriors scheme isolates Joker and abuses him. Maybe they have more to overcome it but they’re definitely touch and go now that the blue print is out. If this league can find a way to neutralize a defender like Gobert with scheme in the playoffs, that’s not a tough task to do with Joker. The Warriors are already built to exploit that.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Doesn’t mean they won’t in the playoffs if all of the pieces are there and healthy.

 

[Wamu]

Well Crazy K is at it again.

Why is everyone against him?

Kyrie Irving targets fans and media in post-game rant on twitch

"Me, you think that I'm the cancer in the locker room as if basketball is an individual sport that one person is supposed to take the blame for. It's 15 guys on the team, and I'm the one cancer in the room. That's what it's portrayed as...these older bitter gentlemen and women keep my name in their mouths every day."

I guess in his flat Earth mind it's not his fault he wanted outta Cleveland. Then wanted outta Boston. Then wanted outta Brooklyn.

Nobody told his to take time off to clear his head like he did a couple of seasons ago. So to clear his head he went out clubbing breaking league virus protocols and missed even more games.

Then there's his racist anti-semetic crap he was spewing.

Only a true lunatic would think his own actions aren't his fault.

LOL.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Give my business 50k and I will say damn near anything lol

I mean yeah they have a chance…I don’t agree with Pierce saying they will beat Denver. Denver definitely has weaknesses and can be an out in the 1st but I think LA is a worse matchup for them. I would take Denver in a 7 game series vs GS especially having homecourt.

@Gman

Did you have a good time at the game last night?

@Gman

Yeah... the C's had the 3 ball working, and won the game fairly easily as a result.

(It seems like the Celtics can manufacture open 3 pointers whenever they want to)

Smart pulled some shenanigans towards the end of the game... which was fun.

Glad you had a good time.

Haven't been a Celtics gam in a couple of seasons now. Actually I'll never see them play in CO. again because I refused to give the Nuggets greedy owner one dollar of my money. But from the '10-'11 season to the '18-'19 I never missed a game when Boston was in town.
