2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

We are playing sloppy man

 

[kal-el-8]

is it me or does dwight do the same post moves every time.. depending on which block hes on you know exactly what hes gonna do as soon as he catches it.

Yup

 

[angliatzj]

Just Exum, not Gordon though he's still a great prospect

he seems like he could develop into a poor/middle income mans blake.. his game doesnt fit very well in college.. although he really cant shoot.

 

[mw2889]

The Rockets are lucky the refs keep bailing them out, cause this should be a certified blowout

 

[big j 33]

This is why they need to get rid of the charge in basketball.

Because you can't possibly get hurt jumping with another player trying to contest a shot, right?

When did I ever say this?

Why'd you say it?

 

[steebie j]

No one is showing up to play at all!

Bulls shooting 53% is laughable.

 

[flyerthandelta]

aaron gordon dante exum just to name two you left out. 

Just Exum, not Gordon though he's still a great prospect

Great prospect... Have you seen him play this yr?

 

[awwsome]

Great prospect... Have you seen him play this yr?

I've watched him play since his junior year in HS, he's great not elite.

 

[flyerthandelta]

Except there are a few more elite, top tier prospects in this draft.. so no, that's not true.

Exactly

It's obvious the Lakers have their eyes on Exum anyway

exum is a major wildcard Imo

Exum ain't no wildcard either.

What's Elite? Are you saying he's not in the discussion with Parker Randle Wiggins etc

He could either be great. Or Ehhh. We really dont know.

Elite = Top 5

 

[flyerthandelta]

Gordon is not top 5 in the draft class?!?!?! Is that what your telling me. Ok

Randle and gordon are not in the same discussion as wiggins and parker

 

[victor page]

He isn't.

You're delusional if you think he is.

You won't find a single mock draft, analyst, etc. that has him as a top 5 pick right now.

Blake as in Blake Griffin? Aaron Gordon is not going to be anything resembling Blake Griffin whatsoever

 

[Bert.]

How Kobe gon' say he has no patience for the front office and says that this type of season can't happen next season, but signs a huge *** deal, crippling their ability to get better

Rooting for Kobe though and I do think he'll be at 25 ppg next year *shrugs*

Cause Kobe deserves that money for what he's done for the Lakers in his career, they should pay him until he dies if they actually want to compensate him for his value.

He shouldn't have to take less than he deserves because that FO can't make the proper moves.

Is he a max level talent anymore? Idk we'll see

But is he worth that much to the Lakers brand? Easily

this this and this

People...even experts sometimes...make comparisons based on looks 

 It's one of the most mind boggling things in sports. I made a post about it years ago.

Dark skinned + 6'9 Prospects = Kevin Garnet

White + 6'9 Shooter = Dirk Nowitski

It never fails 

You NEVER EVER EVER see a white player compared to a black player or vice versa

Aaron Gordon is the Blake Griffin "All he can do is dunk" meme in real life.

Very good defender too.

Y'all starting to sound like those experts that said the same thing about Oden and Beasley

 

[victor page]

Oden and Beasley were top 5 locks since their junior years of high school. Actually make that #1 for Oden.

What are you talking about sir?

I once compared Damian Lillard to a black, athletic Jimmer
