"OFFICIAL" Around the NBA - November Thread

[Natebishop3]

Drummond is the only one on that list that surprises me. I'm telling you Dragic became way over rated after last years surprising success.

Pau coming in to Chicago you had to know Noah's production would go down.

Parker could have gone either way, but you don't often see rookies come out and beast like Dame did. That entire draft class seems to have been way over hyped.

Lance Stephenson should be on this list, as should JJ Reddick, and Ricky Rubio like every year(that guy is one of the most over rated in the NBA)

Lance is on my team too

Drummond has a 10 PER and his rebounding/FG% is WAY down.

Damn I used to want him at any cost

He's still legit. Maybe he will go to a team who utilizes his talents.

Why had I never seen this gif before?

That was seconds before Harden kicked him, stole his lunch money, and told him to carry his books to biology like a good frosh or else he'd give him a swirly.

Haha, I thought he was looking for Hardens defense.

Could you imagine if they tank and lose their pick...they should because this shit is disgraceful to the game.

Dang poor philly! Hopefully they turn things around next season. This season is already packed in

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ricky Rubio like every year(that guy is one of the most over rated in the NBA)

You do know that he's injured, right? And that before he was injured, the Wolves were winning, and now they're one of the worst teams in the league, right? But don't let facts get in your way.

(And what about that chump Kevin Durant? Have you seen OKC's record?)

Spurs centre Aron Baynes is sometimes asked to sit out practice to avoid hurting teammates

NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard has revealed Baynes is often benched at practice to avoid injuring other players.

“We try to leave him out of practice a little bit so he won’t hurt anyone,” Leonard said. “You have to watch out for him.”

“We get scared he’s going to hurt somebody,” Parker said. “He’s a scary guy.”

“Baynes-ey is just big and wide so he hurts whenever he sets screens,” Manu Ginobili said.

“He’s not easy to avoid because he has a wide base and he’s thick.

“I remember one time I tried to get a charge (in practice). The worst idea I have had in these 12 years (in the NBA). It’s not happening any time soon.”

Baynes is averaging 6.4 points and 4.8 rebounds in 16.5 minutes a game

Aldridge would take him down with his pinky finger

Isn't he injured every year?

He's an above average defender with no offensive game and no Kevin Love to up his A/TO ratio. And yes he is injured every year.

I think Drummond is now playing adjacent the other teams starter, makes a big difference.

Pau is taking away from Noah's numbers.

And Lance did what he did because his man always left to go double Paul George.

Oklahoma City Thunder notebook: Russell Westbrook might return to lineup on Friday against New York

Thunder coach Scott Brooks on Monday didn’t rule out the possibility of Russell Westbrook returning to the lineup as early as Friday against New York.

“I don’t know,” Brooks said when asked if a target date of Friday is too early. “I just focus on his work that he put in today and just continue to build off that. He will get evaluated later on this week and then we can make some of those decisions later on.”

^My fantasy team hopes so!

okc better be careful bringing these guys back too early. i know teams always say they wont bring them back until they are "100%" but okc has a LOT of pressure on them to win the title

Brandon Roy agrees

Mine too... I used a high draft pick on his ass and I've been struggling with the all-disappointment team of Dragic, Drummond, Noah, and Lance Stephenson.
