OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD: November 2019

I'm trying to find where anybody said that Roy was as good as Doncic but I can't. I brought up Roy and used him as a comp for Doncic's playing style. Never said their talent levels were the same

The Roy we have seen in the NBA was damaged goods from the get-go - we never seen him completely healthy in the NBA. Given that, I would say that the talent level is probably more in Roy's favor - since he was a lot more athletic than Luca. Of course, being healthy is an important bit of success in one's athletic career - and it would be very surprising if Luca's career will not be much better than Roy's was.

Not sure? I was just agreeing with Erik that Doncic is better than Roy

Wow. I just see Doncic on a completely different level than Roy. Amazing how people can see the same thing and see total opposite all at once

It was already posted but he’s Larry Bird playing point guard.

Here's the problem with a coach actually trying to hold a player accountable. LaVine acting snitty, won't even admit coach told him specifically what he was doing wrong, much less admit that he did something wrong.

[AldoTrapani]

Wow Luka Doncic is something crazy.. If Dallas lost their mind would ya trade Dame and Cj for Luka??

I’d help them pack for free lol

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man just when we think we might have an opening we have another generational superstar in our conference to overcome for years to come smh

[AldoTrapani]

[THE HCP]

Don't know if this is impressive or not.

Love the profile picture you put up! I think he might be trying to give us some inside info like he did with Carmelo thread.

[Dougnsalem]

Erik and I agree on very little when it comes to, well, anything, but he's right. Doncic is light years better than Roy was

having both meniscus gives him a hell of an edge

If only Denver was down there with us, OKC, and GS... It would be the ultimate playoff jinx.

Why do people always say good white players are like Larry Bird? Tom Guggliotta, Dirk Nowitzki, Luka etc.

it’s pretty obvious.

Well I compared him with Harden before he was drafted. Turns out he's better!

Did anyone REALLY say Googs was like Bird? Like Tom Chambers, maybe...

 

[wizenheimer]

because nobody knows who Luke Babbitt is

What Nick Nurse is doing in Toronto without Kawhi and Green is VERY impressive. That is a real coach right there.

Especially with Lowry and Ibaka both out with injuries.

 

[Lanny]

Meyers and his Heat are killing it, so are the Lakers and Suns. The end is near!

Oh, I wouldn't say the end is near for the Lakers just yet. I think you're jumping the gun.

 

[speeds]

Poor Embiid always gets sick visiting Toronto.

 

[KingSpeed]

Did anyone REALLY say Googs was like Bird?.

Yes. He was supposed to be the next Bird.
