I am getting sick of Durant. He is just on such a roll right now. I thought OKC would lose a few without Westbrook, but Durant just won't let them.

It is pretty much set in stone that boring Scott Brooks will coach the all star team and play our guys like 2 minutes.

Smart coaches play their rival teams players more and rest their own during the ASG. If anything we should see more of LMA and Dame if Brooks coaches.

...if Brooks is smart...we'll see.... ;)

16 @NBA teams are averaging 100+ PPG (Detroit right on cusp at 99.7). '94-95 was the last time 16+ teams averaged triple-digit scoring

Anthony Davis is insane

Hypothetical

Would you trade Aldridge for Davis straight up?

Hypothetically, if people were robots run entirely by their stats? Fuck yes. Who doesn't want 10 more years of monster play? My worry would be injuries, but fuck it.

Would it basically ruin our season because people are wet sacks of emotion? Probably.

You're talking about one season where the Blazers aren't good enough to win a championship. The defense and bench just aren't good enough.

There's going to be a point in the next couple years where Anthony Davis will be better than Aldridge. I'm confident in making that statement.

Love Aldridge, but Davis' ceiling is just that high.

Who wouldn't you trade for Anthony Davis is a better question, outside of Lebron/Durant/maybe George I don't think there is a player i'd rather have then Davis as my franchise player going forward. With that being said it depends what the goals are when trading for Davis because he would make us worse this year and next year but better down the line so if the Organizations goal was to win in the next two years then I wouldn't.
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

Just look at this

November - He averaged 3.9 blks and 1.8 stls per game
January - 3.1 blks and 1.7 stls per game

His PER is higher than his USG% :ghoti:

I guess my thing is I'm not confident that the Blazers really have a shot at winning the championship this season (barring trades), so I'm not sure how much would change with the hypothetical trade.

Anthony Davis is still an all-star caliber player anyways. They would still make the playoffs.

Yeah, we probably don't win it all this year (that I can even say "probably" is a fucking delight).

What a wuss. Why I remember back in ought 6 I sprained both thumbs, had a teammate reset the joints, coach spit some chewin' tabaccy on on 'em, and I played for 3 hours. Clearly he doesn't care about winning. Must be French.

He never scored 30 in any NBA season.

Riverman may be thinking of Brandon Jennings, 52 days from being a teenager.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
Manu Ginobili will miss three-to-four weeks with a strained left hamstring, the Spurs say.
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

Durant at 33 points with 11 minutes left.

MVP
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

Durant is killing it.
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

Micheal Carter Williams-

0/14 FG 2/5 FT. But he scored 10 points. Can someone help me out with this? How do you make only 2 FT's, but score 10 points? And 1's count as a made bucket... so, I'm really confused.

Oh. Nevermind. They fixed it. 4/14. It was 0/14 all night. ugh.
