You actually reply expecting to receive a thought out educated response, but get, “ Kyrie should be in the G-League!” #Sigh

aight that made me laugh lol.

Jesus Christ, Baynes making a case for 6th Man of Ever Award. He's incredible.

 

[KingSpeed]

He’s the draymond green of those teams, extremely vital piece to have and they may not win (as much)without him but if he was on a team like Brooklyn they wouldnt have the pieces around him for his skillset to be the x-factor he’s capable of being.

I disagree. We'll never know unless/until he gets traded. All I do know is that his two NBA teams (Atlanta, Boston) were #1 seed and he won the title (or 2?) in college.

Why do you people reply to this dudes asinine posts? Just garbage clogging the pages of this forum.

This IS knowing, self-deprecating humor, right?

You know what I love about the NBA? It's the parity!

Please dont think Im trolling you but Horford has the same amount of rebounds that Kyrie does. Has the most turnovers on the team, isnt a great scorer, I really dont understand what you think he does thats great enough to have him as a top 10 guy. I mean we all have opinions, I wouldnt mind Horford on my team though Id say Nurkic has more potential than horford does. I think horfords a great glue guy, but a superstar? I dont see it.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Hayward looks like a gimpy BRoy. Moving gingerly, falling all over the place, no lift.

Yeah, he's definitely going to be their weak link. Be interesting to see what kind of mpg he averages. Maybe he can evolve into a useful role-player, like Ron Harper did for the Bulls.

Sixers miss Bellineli and Ilyasova.

He's got that Tim Duncan knack of always being in the right place.

You’ll soon learn rookie. Your eyes will soon be opened.

When Simmons and fultz dont take or make shots further than 10-15 feet and reddick is off philly’s going to have bad nights.

Also they miss...ed out on Donovan Mitchell.

Covington? Saric?

But Tim duncan also got you 20-10 like every night... not like 12 and 7.

Man Boston has so much talent. We aren't even in the same planet as them.

Weve got the Dame. But Yeah Brooklyn helped them out a lot..

Horford's contributions go beyond the boxscore. I didn't use the term "superstar." Everyone has a different definition for that. Fuck, Mark Cuban doesn't consider Westbrook to be a superstar. Nevertheless, here's my Top 10 in no particular order:

Durant
LeBron
Giannis
AD
Curry
Dame
Harden
Horford
Westbrook
Oladipo

Embiid, Gobert, and Simmons are close behind. And Kawhi has to show us if he's still the same guy he was two years ago.

Yep

Ainge basically took that Olshey adage:
"The best trades benefit both parties" and flushed it down the toilet. He's 10 times the GM Olshey is.

A lot of overrated guys though.

Brooklyn gave us Dame too. For Crash. Or is that what you were saying?

 

[KingSpeed]

WTF Tatum??

 

[KingSpeed]

Horford just blocked Embiid. Big play of many.

 

[KingSpeed]

When it's winning time, Stevens doesn't trust Irving and Hayward.

I mean its subjective so you can list who you want, but even though he seems like a malcontent Jimmy Butler minnesota was light and day with him in the line up vs out of it. Victor Olidipo did an incredible job for the pacers last year, Paul George is gonna have a way better year without melo, Chris Paul (dont like him at all) but he had houston up 3-2 on GS last year.

I agree on Kawhi he could be the best player in the eastern conference but we just dont know.

Anyways I’ll find a different topic I like what Horford brings I think he’s a very good player but I guess I dont have him nearly as high as you do.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think last year's Boston team was better than this one. Irving and Hayward take minutes away from better players.

I think you should give them time especially Hayward, like see where he’s at in a month or two. He hasnt played a real nba game in a year...
