Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[bhzmafia14]

driving in for fouls is not getting you in the top 5 talk.

i think a lot of yall are gonna be disappointed with jimmy hard on

This is why Harden is becoming vastly underrated among most on NT

Listen to how crazy this sounds ....


When Harden was with OKC, people considered him one of the top players in the league at that time due to his playmaking ability. Why is it any different? He's about to be put in a position to make a TON of plays in Houston in D'Antoni's offense. At this point, he will be looked at as a PG and he could probably be one of the best playmaking PG's in the NBA today. Not many PG's are better.

"For year's when I would bring in JVG on the show and it always stuck with me. Conley is always looked at as the underrated guy and people didn't know where to rank him. He's an outstanding player, but never been an all-star. JVG said you have no idea how hard it is for him to look up and see when its time to drive, the lane is slammed because everybody is paying so much attention to Zach and Marc. Two guys who can command double teams on any given night. So, people need to take a step back and see his 15 and 8 at the end of every season is different because he's playing wtih two elite level offensive big guys and there's no place to go. So this is the moment for Conley. He has the space and pace this year." - Chris Vernon

"He's been waiting for this kinda space and opportunity for a long time. He's respectful for when Zbo wants the ball and Marc. Even when they had Rudy Gay." - Mike Wallace

we shall see. he has awesome playmaking abilities..when he chooses to not be a black hole on offense and iso iso iso everything.

Harden may end up being too good offensively to not be in the top 5 this year.
Hot take

This is when you don't allow the young player to grow into himself and already putting him ahead of more established players. KAT will/should be great, but he has yet to play a game in his SECOND season . I'm not that fond of Boogie, so I would take KAT over him right now anyways. But, let's hold off before we say KAT > AD.

Back to Boogie...I'm just tired of his antics and how he acts on the court. His talent is great, but factoring in the mental things that happen on the court, it just may not be worth it.

lol nah im not serious
even as a wolves fan the only big i would take over KAT is boogie
AD too injury prone for me though and I feel like KAT can do everything AD does. KAT is a better defender too and more versatile.

I can't take his face anymore.

It's always this....

Always

who did you want harden to pass to last year? lol
if you watched that team last year they looked lost without harden controlling things.
regardless harden averaged about 7 assists, he isn't a black hole

Pretty Ricky and Dunn gonna put the clamps on that man bhz

 

[bhzmafia14]

Harden averaged 21ppg / 10.8apg / 6.8rpg in 29.6 mpg during preseason.

[antidope]

Gotta agree with TMAC why is ESPN showing these two garbage games nationally tonight?

Idk if you're being serious. These games have a ton of players and storylines that people wanna see.

like..no one? or just no center?

 

[king j]

Smh

he was definitely better than lowry klay basically anyone besides steph and russ that made it over him lol
stop the nonsense

Like if I'm starting a franchise from scratch and got to choose anyone in the L

 

[kingfoamnyc]

If I'm not mistaken Klay finished last season with a higher percentage of his shots assisted on that Deandre Jordan let that sink in..and his defense isnt close to Kawhi..he's a good player on a championship team but he's far far away from top 5 he shouldn't be mentioned with kiwi or pg13

Bingo. He's a great second option though.

Ed Davis basically slammed Lionel Hollins --

"This is a place where, for me personally, I come in every day and I'm happy," Davis said of Portland. "It's fun seeing Coach and talking to him and just talking about life or whatever. I remember when I was in Memphis playing for Lionel Hollins, I hated coming to practice every day. You can quote me on that. Honestly, I hated it. I didn't enjoy it. Seeing him, he didn't even speak to me. It's not like that here. Everything is genuine. It's a bunch of nice people and we're all in this for one goal: to win every game and see how far we can go."

Schroeder should get 17.5 in blonde.

I also wonder how John Wall Street feels about this

 

[HIM]

boogie is legit giving you 26 and 11 every night improved his mid range and 3 point game (couldnt believe it myself) and fg% plus doing some rim protection and yall lol at it? Wait what? But let him go to Cleveland and he will be the greatest center the world has ever seen. What should he improve on to be in yall top 5 if I may ask?

His midrange shot actually regressed last season. He shot 209 3's at a 33% clip. He is a below league average mid range shooter, 3pt shooter, and finisher. He's consistently among the league leaders in turnovers. Never seen that from the Center position. He scored a lot because he shot a lot. He led the league in FG attempts per game. 26 points on 20.5 shots a game. Of the top 20 scores in the league last year, the only player with a lower adjusted FG% than his 47% was Derozan. He shot 47% on 2pt FGs. That ranked 26th out of 30 qualified centers. Players shot 50% at the rim against him. Among Centers that played 20+ Min a game and played in 64+ games (the number he played in) he ranked 20th.

This is why people have Kawhi in their top 5 and not TEL.
