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

[P C H]

Stay healthy [emoji]127998[/emoji]‍. He's a better scorer but not because of skill, he just is more aggressive. And that really stands out for me. I know John will go out guns blazing and I see Chris be timid too much for my liking. However, I won't say that you're wrong because you're not. I'm just partial to John and think that this year is the beginning of his real prime. Like Steph about 4 years ago

Nah I feel you and I've had my gripes about CP's aggression a few times.

My only disagreement here is that his lack of aggression isn't due to timidness or stat protection, I personally think it's fatigue. I don't think he's conditioned enough to go guns blazing like a wall or westbrook. He gets tired when he has to overextend himself like that and score. Regardless, I would love to see him shoot more. He's way too good of a shooter to not shoot more often. But even more than being a great shooter, he can get to his spots in the midrange with ease, making his lack of shooting at times even more frustrating.

I think since he's come back from Injury, the Clippers are like 7-1 or something like that when he takes 15 or more field goals and only 4-8 when he doesn't. Shame.

Kyrie top 10. Not Top 5 though. Curry still the king

Wow Kyrie not a top 10 PG? Not top 5? Welp my time here is over guys that's my que.




See yall come playoff season   

He's definitely not top 5.

Lowry/Lillard/IT2 are better. He's in that next tier with Conley/Kemba.

Kemba and Conley are the same group with Kyrie?

 

[P C H]

Top SGs?

Myrie
Klay
DeKobe
Beallionaire
Urkel

No qualms with this except maybe switching Brad Beal with CJ but that's mostly because I love CJ's game. #MidRangeShawty

if Kyrie is top 10....he's 10.

All are great 2nd option players. Well Kemba is kinda forced to be the 1st on Charlotte. But the others mentioned are all the best players on their respective teams (1st options). I mean we've seen Kyrie without Bron.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

Kemba is better than Lillard

 

[tyevvyotcu]

Derozan has been the best SG this season.

 

[MVP]

Kemba is better than Lillard

No

Congrats to Pat Ewing. Probably would be a head coach in the NBA by now if it weren't for big man bias but still a good look for him.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

nvm I had no clue that Dame was averaging 27 and 6 this season
Kyrie is better than him though

 

[drewsone]

Yeah Dame has been balling.

Kemba is nice too but idk lol

 

[carver]

Kemba is better than Lillard

I heard he always interviewed poorly.

kemba is NOT better than Dame.

Actually I'd rank them like this:

Curry/Westbrook/Harden

Wall/CP0

Lowry/Dame/IT2

Kemba/Kyrie/Conley

 

[addict4sneakers]

Kemba's got the best feet in the game but my main man can't really make a pocket pass to save his life.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Actually I'd rank them like this:

Curry/Westbrook/Harden

Wall/CP0

Lowry/Dame/IT2

Kemba/Kyrie/Conley

Harden? Why is he there.

I

kyrie is a helluva a PG (dribble, passing, scoring, finishing at the rim, CLUTCH shooting) but placing him out the top 5 is not surprising at all. if it weren't for Lebron, kyrie would be seen as just a good pg on an abysmal cavs team he was leading. his teams would be a perennial 8th seed at best in the east.

idk about kemba, but conley is vastly underrated


no one showin love for my dude pretty ricky rubio though??

 

[hardens beard]

75+ games in and people still don't think Harden is a PG? Smh

 

[freeze]

conley is VASTLY underrated. i love his game. i wonder what would take him to the next level? What's his weakness?

 

[lb510]

And now James Harden isn't a point guard? Thread is wild this morning

 

[tyevvyotcu]

people been saying conley is underrated for so long that he isn't underrated anymore, especially with that contract.

 

[wavycrocket]

Kyrie at 5?

Would love to know your reasons (outside of scoring.)

Pretty simple. Kyrie as a #2 option....is more valuable than Kyle or whoever else rounds out the bottom 5 of PGs in the league. And Kyrie is #5 to me. But not by much. If you argued a few other of those guards were better....you'd have a case. Of course, playing with LeBron makes things very simple for him. But his ability to close, and score efficiently from everywhere on the court while remaining aggressive can't be overlooked.

I've been noted on here to talk on Kyries many weaknesses for years....but I've grown to really appreciate what he's good at in the right role.

I talways root against Kyrie....but he's an animal when the moment is at its tensest. Same feeling I get in my stomach when Big Ben is down 6 against my Ravens with under two minutes to go....I get with Kyrie.

Pure sickness in my gut knowing that the ***** will put pressure on the defense.
