yea this dude is way better than Zach Collins

I'd be a little careful about applying offensive metrics to a defensive player.

 

[wizenheimer]

He’s a center. Zach is playing power forward for us.

Turner was playing C, although they are kind of interchangeable. They are both the kind of players that blur the distinction between PF and C. Zach does that too

Sabonis is who we dream zach Collins plays like. How Indiana retained him for so cheap is amazing. But that will at least make collins contract cheaper next year

Not really, they are entirely different players.

 

[wizenheimer]

Not really, they are entirely different players.

Obviously, Sabonis is a much better rebounder and offensive force at this point. Not close really

And just as obviously, Zach is a better rim protector. But what is debatable is who is the better overall defender. That's a lot closer and Sabonis may have a little advantage. Zach may have the advantage defending out on the perimeter, but you wouldn't want either player switching onto guys like Kawhi or Lebron or Paul George

by the way, both of them are foul magnets

As much as I enjoy watching the Rockets/Harden/Westbrook fail, this is.......really nothing. "OMG THEY'RE DISAGREEING! STOP THE DAMN PRESSES!"

Ayton has been suspended 25 games by the league for testing positive for a banned substance.

It says he took a diuretic, which essentially all blood pressure regulators are (while making you pee). Something ain't right here.

You can't "accidentally" take a diuretic. He was trying to flush something out of his system, which clearly worked. But he's a dumbass and got caught.

It's often a masking agent.

Let’s go bucks, good game so far

 

[B-Roy]

This Bucks team has one star, and they're winning crunch time minutes against two stars while their one star has fouled out of the game.

 

[theprunetang]

Man, Harden is single handedly killing my fantasy team. .157 shooting and 7 TOs.



Ps. It doesn't bother me that much, because of that whole schadenfreude thing.

Gee can't wait for @THE HCP to post about how we always seem to play teams that are missing players.

I’m done watching the NBA... Clippers win the championship

 

[hoopsjock]

I’m done watching the NBA... Clippers win the championship

Because they're up 6 in the 2nd quarter of game #2? Okay, see ya.

 

[B-Roy]

The Warriors have an average of 3 G-Leaguer's on the floor at all times. Dame watching Steph right now and saying "this the shit I have been dealing with for 4 years".

So far the Clippers have played two abnormal teams, and the game against the Lakers was a home game. We don't know now good the Lakers are , or how bad the Warriors are either. If the Clippers can beat up on teams like Portland, Utah, and Denver on the road then you can say they are too damn good.

And even if there offense is not clicking, their defense is just as scary as their offense

It's similar to how NBA pundits were high on the Lakers, using their games against the Warriors in the pre-season (played them 4 times...wtf?!) as proof of how good they were.
