Around the NBA - October 2017

[THE HCP]

He did have a nice career in Phoenix though. Got to WCF.

He was NEVER THE SAME after that ankle injury plain and simple.

 

[andalusian]

He'll be in by the second quarter when the game is already over

He is in and the rockets are back

God Nick Young would have been a perfect cheap replacement for Crabbe for us

 

[Rastapopoulos]

All joking aside (I wouldn't wish an injury on anyone)...the Warriors are so much better than anyone in the league, they could lose Curry or Durant for the whole season and they'd still be odds on favorites.

I wonder if losing Draymond would be worse for them.

 

[THE HCP]

Tatum: Rookie of the Year. He is so smooth and mature for his age.

Watch Ben Simmons a few times before you vote sir.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wake up. Bell is playing.

 

[ripcityboy]

I'm awake. Just had to get rid of a gnat.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bell's not playing anymore

 

[AFully22]

Paul as the secondary ball handler isn't going to work well. Completely minimizes his skillset.

And Harden off ball takes away maybe his most elite ability on the court, drawing fouls. I really wouldn’t be suprised if the “only” win just as many games as they did last year.

Morey has said it himself, he’s all about as much talent as possible and little about fit.

Nick Young turning into a splash brother.

 

[ripcityboy]

Golden State is going to put up some ridic numbers this year.

Young wouldn't have taken a paycut for Portland let's be real.

 

[GrandJury]

Young wouldn't have taken a paycut for Portland let's be real.

I don’t even think he had a market for him like that

I like Splash Cousin better

I like Splash Cousin better

Does this mean I have been officially accepted? @HCP quoted me...I'm freaking out, such a fan boy!

 

[Scalma]

Well all reports said he took a paycut to go to the warriors, and its a lot more believable than his market topping out at 5m per.

Shit! Denny, if I delete my post, will you still see that this kid quoted it. Man I'm losing my edge FAMS!

 

[ripcityboy]

I will be happy if we win a quarter against GS this year. Gotta stay motivated.

He wouldn't shoot this good with Portland anyway. Something about championship teams making players better, like JaVale last year.

 

[ripcityboy]

I think Harden practices basketball on a home court of strategically placed banana peels. Gotta work on drawing that contact man.

 

[trailblazer18]

Harden doesn't get the calls against the Warriors.

 

[THE HCP]

Man I just read that fortune cookies were created here in the states, NOT China. Suck it bro!

He shot 40% from downtown last year (on 7 attempts a game), with the lakers.

 

[BonesJones]

Awful call

Yeah, but Kites were, so go fly one! (Did I do that right? thanks for the all the mentoring on how to post, FAMS! - can't forget that)

 

[trailblazer18]

Awful call

Cannot believe that was a flagrant.

Watch Ben Simmons a few times before you vote sir.

Not saying is he not good, or that he won't be great down the line. Just that Tatum has the edge his first year. And to win the ROY award I think you will agree he needs to be able to shoot better. So far in preseason he has not improved much. 0% from 3 and less than 50% from the line.......great passing is not enough. Lonzo will win it if it is.

He attacks the basket extremely well. But I am guessing they will take that away from him in the regular season. He needs to get better from the outside.

 

[trailblazer18]

He shot 40% from downtown last year (on 7 attempts a game), with the lakers.

That is true. He will probably shoot even better with the Warriors. He should get a lot of open looks.

 

[KingSpeed]

Looks like I'm banned at ClutchFans. I think they know they suck. A guy bet me $500 Rockets would have better record than Blazers. He won't pay though. I can't even communicate with him now.
