HELL YA I'M SURPRISED! How many times YEAR after YEAR do we hear about how so in so player is the next so in so HOF player and then hav NOT pan out YEAR after YEAR? When a 20 year old kid comes in and does what he's doing.....shit! Scouts and draft "experts" didn't even expect this so fast.
 
We are below my 45 win prediction pace.

Maybe not this fast, but I remember them saying that he had the best-looking advanced stats of anyone entering the NBA since Anthony Davis. How Vlade Divac still has a job is beyond me.

But you hear what I'm saying right? You could go back EVERY draft and their are 5 guys that are sure fire All Star picks. So when a guy actually performs like they say and THEN some, hell ya I'm surprised. Love this kids game, just didn't think he'd be at this level EVER, let alone 13 months into his career.

Fez toldja. (Of course, Fez told us about a lot of people, and some of them are long forgotten.)

I've got to say that Doncic's success really sticks in my craw. The fact that Dallas got him is such a bummer: he was RIGHT THERE FOR THE TAKING. They didn't even have to give up that much. And Phoenix, Sacramento and Atlanta have been DYING for a generational talent and they blew it. Now we have to suffer Mark Cuban on our screens just that much more.

Chicken and the egg? Would Doncic be as good this soon if not for the environment Dallas has built the past 20 years? Would he be like all the other flame-outs in Phoenix, Sacramento, and Atlanta, or was he going to be good no matter what?
 
I don’t know where you got that FAMS. They are playing better than us and their record shows it.

Us? Look at you pretending like your not a Laker fan!

For now. They will collapse. Blazers will rise. It is inevitable
 
This good this soon? Still so confident in that answer?
Yes.

Cleveland were pretty much a shitshow when LeBron dropped in their lap. Bulls with Jordan were if anything worse. Obviously Doncic doesn't have the physical gifts but he has the brain and the incredible drive.

Perfectly valid logic. Two different players/teams -- possibly the two greatest players ever -- blazed their own paths, so that makes Doncic a can't miss instant all-star no matter what team he went to, despite all the counter-examples. Got it.

Look buddy, neither of us knows what we're talking about, I won't call you out if you stop trying to call me out.
 
How did the Lakers do against that strong Miami team tonight? Haven’t checked yet.
 
Uh oh. They must have won. But I swore everybody in here said we were WAY better than they were. Let me go check in that predictions thread real quick......standby.
First seven game win streak since 2011 LOL. That's almost 9 years ago! Damn Lakers have sucked. Even with Kobe. He didn't retire til when, 2016?
