What’s wrong with him? Is this a medical condition ?

There must be something mentally wrong with him. It's just not possible to explain pump faking a free throw otherwise.

Can someone fill me in on this Fultz thing? Wasn't this guy a pretty good shooter in college? What the hell happened?

To my eyes, he looked like a scorer not a shooter. Take away the "me first" ball dominating rhythm and you're left with what you see now.

People brushed aside the criticism that Fultz has been the best player on the floor, but a loser, at every level he's played. Those same people are probably scratching their heads now at how broken his mental game is.

You really think that's the reason...? C'mon man. That's such a stretch... Take away his touches and his shooting form goes from perfect to incompetent?...

I wasn't impressed with him at UW. Just a very good athlete who got lots of touches and had minimal impact on the game. I can't explain the change in his mechanics, but his history very much calls into question his mental strength. That doesn't seem like much of a stretch to connect the dots.
 
Clippers are kind of a feel-good story (if you can put aside your animosity for Doc Rivers). A bunch of reclamation projects, and Montrezl Harrell suddenly looks awesome. What happened to Avery Bradley, though?
 
This is the crack FAMS! The beginning of the end. Start sizing KD up for a Laker jersey tomorrow.
 
There's a reason why it's so hard for teams to win three in a row. But this is much ado about nothing.

They have to worry about even making the playoffs before talking about the 1st round!

Very true--they're only 3.5 games from being out of the playoffs altogether. They could easily drop to 11th in the West by Thanksgiving if they don't make a drastic move to fix things ASAP!

Is there any doubt that "tolerate one another" is probably the best case scenario between Durant and Green ? I agree it is starting to boil over. You could see it last year, KD does not like him. One of them will be gone next year. And the Warriors need both to win it all.

I think the loss of Green would be worse for them than KD. Sounds weird to say that, but as far as how their team is built I believe this to be true. Kids points would be easier to replace than Greens defense and tenacity.

Totally agree. With all their shooters they need someone who does all the dirty work. He goes all out rebounding, going after lose balls, guarding the other team's best player. Iguodala used to out help out with that, but he will be 35 in January. Green allows them to go small and play "warrior basketball".

How much of what Green does do you think Jordan Bell would be able to replicate? Obviously none of the playmaking, but as far as the defense, rebounding, and "dirty work"?

The return they got for Chris Paul was extremely good. He could have left for nothing that season but because he went to Houston they had to get something via sign and trade. Harrell, Williams and Beverley are a hell of a return in that situation.
