OT- Around the NBA

[MickZagger]

Watching the Wolves and Thunder right now. The Wolves look a like a completely different team. Adelman's offense is showing a world of difference. I just watched Love throw an 80 ft outlet pass to Beasley.

 

[MickZagger]

Anybody remember how good Adelman made Webber's passing ability look in Sactown?

 

[MickZagger]

Does Minnesota have the best coaching staff in the NBA?

Adelman, Porter, Bayno and Sikma.

That would be my choice to coach Portland.

 

[illmatic99]

Rubio looks fantastic.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kris Humphries is beasting.

Orlando's supporting cast is bad. Almost Laker-bad. I don't know what their GM was thinking trading Bass for Davis. Horrible move! Though, both are bench players but a downgrade is a downgrade.

 

[Darkwebs]

Rubio passes with flair. Reminds me of Rudy in his rookie year.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I love his courtvision. A real PG.

 

[MickZagger]

He can't guard Westbrook though.

 

[Darkwebs]

Yeah, I love great court vision/passing. Magic Johnson was my first favorite NBA player.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kahn of all people has put together a lot of nice young talent.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

That defense by Luke was embarrassing.

 

[Wheels]

Ridnour just got broke the F down

 

[Wheels]

Fez is faster than me lol

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Fez is faster than me lol

I think your wife just tells you that so not to hurt your feelings.

 

[Wheels]

LOL!

 

[B-Roy]

Miller and the Nugs are killing the Mavs in Dallas.

 

[magnifier661]

Dallas won't do well this year. Kinda embarrassing really. No way to defend your crown. They should have tried hard to keep jj and chandler.

 

[MickZagger]

Mavs look slow and predictable.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

lol how does rubio look good? He looks like crap. It's not a coincidence Ridnour and Barea are playing as much as him.

Which sort of proves Hollinger's assumption that if you get enough cracks at the lottery eventually you'll be pretty good.

Kinda want to have John Nash in charge of 10 drafts in the lottery for someone (not us) just to see if that happens.

 

[crowTrobot]

hah rubio taking rebounds away from love

 

[magnifier661]

Can the Lakers start off with a 0-5 record? Wonder if this happens, how disgruntled Kobe will be?

After one game? Gimme a break. Rubio and Derrick Williams can still turn into bustaroos.

I never said anything about an individual player, I was only pointing out that if the Wolves actually look good (and they did against the Thunder) and can sustain it, eventually if you keep picking at the top of the draft year after year you'll get some talented players and will probably get good at some point. Hell, look at the Grizzlies; Hiesley hasn't exactly been the picture of saavy and smart drafting, but somehow they managed to get to the second round. I wouldn't be shocked if the wolves finally get over the hump and make it to the playoffs this year or next, especially now that they have a competent coach.

Not because of their drafting. Their last couple picks have all busted.

 

[THE HCP]

Rubio looks like a rookie Sergio
