"OFFICIAL" Around the NBA - December Thread

[KingSpeed]

Isaiah Thomas is Nate Robinson II. (Not just because he's a short gunner: he will bounce around and the team that loses him will improve while the team that gains him will get worse.)

That appears to be the case. Poor Suns.

Everybody knew Draymond Green was good, they just thought he was undersized and underathletic. The usual story - as you said, it's why Wes wasn't drafted.

What's interesting is that he's playing as a PF when he was supposed to be a SF. In theory, somebody tall who can shoot (Nowitzki, Aldridge) should eat him alive. But, like Chuck Hayes, he's carved out a niche.
What will the Warriors do with David Lee, though? I bet they're trying like hell to find a taker before it becomes an issue.

(I looked up his description on DraftExpress and they have the following tweets:

DraftExpress: Why did Marc Jackson have a slow-footed power forward like Draymond Green guarding Andre Miller in that situation? Strange
2013-04-20 20:10:25DraftExpress: At the Celtics-Warriors game. "Big men" currently on the court Carl Landry Draymond Green Chris Wilcox Jeff Green. Size what?
2013-03-01 21:02:58DraftExpress: Draymond Green drafted by Golden State at #36. Solid pick for them. Another guy that will stick around for the long haul.
2012-06-28 10:47:04DraftExpress: Highest slated players on our mock still available, going into the 2nd round: Draymond Green (#26), Jeff Taylor (#28), Will Barton (#29)

Yep. Portland would kill GS in a playoff series because of Aldridge. Wes/Dame can hang with Klay/Curry but Draymond can't handle LaMarcus.

Its cute he did it against the dleague.

means nothing.

Memphis is controlling this as well as they could right now and only up one. Feels like a game for title of best current team.

 

[e_blazer]

Looking like the streak is going to die.

 

[KingSpeed]

I wish we didn't have to fucking wait til March 24th to play GS again. I want to beat them so bad.

 

[e_blazer]

All bad things must come to an end.

I don't. We have two games late in the season against them. They could be the games that decide who is first in the west. Better marquee, when both teams should be at their best

You're right. I'm impatient. We're 2.5 games back now, by the way.

Yeah man. The Blazers will be in good position come March. There are a lot of games that could decide our seeding

Wow Jabari Parker is out for the rest of the season with a torn acl....

Without Rolo? Good luck with that.

 

[KingSpeed]

They don't have Bogut.

I feel sad about Parker. It really sucks. Kills his chance at rookie of the year and those are the kinds of things you dream about. Plus, he had a real good shot at getting to playoffs. Sucks.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

So who wins Rookie of the Year now? Mirotic or Wiggins probably? Pretty underwhelming group even with Parker.

Maybe KJ McDaniel or nerlens noel

Oh, forgot about that.

Shabazz Muhammad is averaging 12/4 in 19 minutes with a 21.7 PER. He is decidedly a better player than CJ. Really whiffed on that one.

lol. paitence is a virtue rarely seen by the anonymous folk on the internet.

 

[Denny Crane]

Nikola Mirotic for ROY?

 

[MickZagger]

Grizz/Spurs in double OT.

Send them our first and the promising young center Leonar

 

[MickZagger]

A couple down right sick plays by Olynyk tonight.

Can't wait to post the vids once they go viral

 

[MickZagger]

blossoming Center Brandan Wright? Really? Really Stein?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I hope Dallas lands him.

It'll make Morey shit the bed.

In garbage minutes on a losing team. CJ has to figure out a way to fit in on a winner. That isn't a problem for Shabazz.
