The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

damn yo, chris bosh is in bad shape. . I pop a lot of **** about him, but its all in good nature, dude can ball and seems like a good guy. I feel bad for him and his family. Blood Clots on the lungs? That's legit what just took Kearsey out of here .

 

[nick.]

how old is Bosh? 30?

way too young to be going through something like this

 

[dacomeup]

Not comparing the 2 players, just want to point out that MCW is very athletic as well(not Wall level but it's rare to see a pg MCW size with his speed/quickness) n I wouldn't hold turnovers against a rookie pg playing with no talent n trying to always make something outta nothin out there ...if he's still turning it over with the Bucks then that's a problem

You can play on bad teams and not turn it over at the rate that MCW does.

I think he'll do better when teams realize his best chance is playing on the wing. He's not a good PG right now.

.

They(the Heat) say that his condition is not life threatening, but as of now it hasn't even been confirmed to be a blood clot yet... so it's up in the air til' then. just a good thing to know it is not as serious as previously imagined( hopefully they are right)

Not this MCW/Wall thing again

1. Wall is an athletic freak.
2. He was 2 years younger coming into the league than MCW.
3. He was at least shooting in the high 70s from the line from day 1 in the league as a 20-year-old which suggested his jump shot would improve with time.

MCW is a terrible shooter, extremely turnover-prone, and he's already 23 so he doesn't have as much room to grow as other guys in that draft class. He won the ROY as a 22-year-old in one of the worst rookie classes in recent memory, he basically won it by default.

There's no comparison.

He was a turnover machine in college too though. That was one of the knocks on him coming into the draft.

There's bad teams , then there's the sixers especially last year ...I do agree his to'a def gotta go down but I think it would drop now that he's on a better team ...we' ll see tho

GM Lebby being the architect of his own demise is poetic justice.

Chris Bosh update: The problem is actually blood clots in both lungs. Further testing is being done. He's currently resting in hospital.

As terrible as MCW is offensively (only saving grace is he's played with D-League talent) he's probably close to equally good on defense.

In that sense, he's like Ricky Rubio (cross racial comparisons FTW).

Lots of solid SFs in the lottery range this year, no idea what the Pistons are doing trying to make the playoffs.

Rubio's exceptional court vision and passing is the difference there though, no?

My thing is, why is it that every time somebody mentions who Rich Paul represents they feel the need to throw in "Myck Kabongo" ... Son was always overrated as hell

MCW can pass too, actually one of the better things he does on offense

Just to keep it simple: MCW is a big pg that's still quick...he can pass n rebound at a good level but can't shoot a lick n turns the ball over at a high rate...he plays defense n gets a good amount of steals ...overall he can be a solid pg that you don't want shooting but can get you a triple double at anytime

Probably not on par with Rubio's, but pretty darn good.

Will be interesting to track how MCW does with NBA talent like Alphabet, Juice, Middleton (I think the Knight trade signified the Bucks plan on keeping him at big $), etc.

Edit:

Defensively, I think the Bucks are going to be even better. Their defense may be inflated thanks to playing in the East, but nonetheless they're second in the league in Defensive Rating, fifth in FG% defense, third in 3PT% defense, second in TO%.

 

[dman14]

given it is the eastern conf, dont see much of a drop off (if any) from milwaukee. then again, never was really high on brandon knight or mcw to begin with. both solid young talent, interested to see how mcw plays. obviously, he was looting in a riot in philly, but now he is on a team that is competing and has some nice pieces.

 

[nelson999]

Damn get well Bosh 

 

[julius wrek]

I feel terrible for Bosh, his family, and his team.

Hope dude recovers to full health.
