Lebron + Giannis seems redundant. CP3/Steph would be much more complimentary. Otherwise I think its a good list.

On the other hand, I wonder how much I'd lose sneaking Kawhi in at the "point". Probably nothing. 5 wings it is.

Popped my NBA game cherry tonight at the Rockets-Spurs game.

-It was too loud. Take noise canceling headphones.
-I was surprised at how many Spurs fans there were, a quarter to a third, but maybe that's just a Texas thing.

-The court seems small. I think they should increase the size by maybe a few feet each way.
-Watching it in person makes you really focus on the game, imo. It doesn't have the "hollywood" sheen as on TV. It's just another game like at the Rec.
-Kawaii has huge hands. Ginobili is so beautiful. I wanted to go kiss his beautiful bald head. He's a magical unicorn.
-Threes are way more entertaining on TV than live. They just feel so cheap, especially if there's no play or set up.
-It's so irritating watch Harden flail out a three every time he gets bumped. If you aren't already in the process of taking a shot when you get bumped, you shouldn't get free throws. There's going to be a special room in Hell reserved for Paul Pierce and James Harden.

Aren't Houston and San Antonio pretty near each other...

The loudness of the crowd is part what makes watching in person really great (from my one time, watching a Finals game)

Jelly of you though.

I think this is a case of even a broken clock being right twice a day. I'd have Lebron 2 or 3 on my MVP list. And if I was doing a fantasy draft where I could pick any player to lead my team for one game or one series I would pick LBJ first.

Hmm I think my line up would be,

PG. Greek Freak
SG. Klay Thompson
SF. Lebron
PF Durrant
C Davis

We'd be long as fuck, defend like crazy. Good spacing, passing and shooting! (chris paul would probably be better pick at point with his defense and all around play but I wanted to be a little different and Antetokounmpo is such a different player and so underrated. Also I don't think Klay is the best 2 gaurd, just hes a great defender who shoots and is used to sharing the rock.


I'd have westbrook come off the bench, since he can carry any 4 others and still be a beast.


Agree with all but two things..

I don't think Giannis is underrated at all. He's universally praised as the best NBA player under 23 years (although Towns and Porzingis get some mentions). All around talent and def future MVP.

..and you shouldn't give too much credit for JJRaynor. Dude's still contradicting himself like crazy.

Is it me or is there a huge double standard about what a coach/owner can say vs what players can say? It seems like if you're a player, you can say whatever vile or unsubstantiated thing you want. To me, it just seems like bizarre expectations, really. Like we consider them kids that can't be held accountable for their actions.

Think about the coach that whines, cries, says nonsense all the time, etc. Then think how he also gets away with it.

Which coach is that? And is the coach calling his players idiots, liars and assholes?

another one of my favourite topics is being dealt with by the new CBA. Medical Panels to deal with cases like Chris Bosh. The NBA will have a Heart/Cardio Panel, a Blood Clot panel, and they will add new panels as the needs arise.

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/report-with-chris-bosh-situation-unresolved-nba-to-create-new-medical-panels/

these changes are not retroactive so there is no guarantee this resolves the Bosh case. However, the next standoff between a player's medical team and the nba team's medical guys will be resolved by one of these medical panels.

only according to people who half read what i post and twist it into something else. like comparing minnesota to toronto in the area or pure athletic talent and some guy tries to turn it into talking about 3 players. again though, for that convo to have any depth or granularity a definition is required. otherwise , its just a discussion of vague approximations.

here guys i'll improve the signal to noise ratio of the thread.

early reports tried to say it would be a 4 to 6 week recovery. i doubted that because it was NOT arthroscopic surgery. generally speaking, an orthopedic surgical recovery of 4 weeks is rare without the arthroscope.

the results are in: 12 to 14 weeks. this should give him plenty of time to read George Karl's new book.

JJ did you just say others are twisting what you say? Pretty sure that is impossible with how much you twist what you say lol.

still no definition? lots of baseless attacks on the Minnesota/Toronto thing though.

If your opponent argues against your definitions with baseless attacks, you must base your attacks on less definitions.
