Re: Around the League: Playoffs

Anthony Davis isn't on all NBA teams, thus losing $$$. Only one possible solution: All players on teams that do not have Anthony Davis are put into a lottery. 24 players are chosen out of the lottery. Each chosen player is dropped off in a remote and enclosed location, where they find weapons and f...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)

Position is more about defense that offense. On offense, great teams have a variety of guys that can make plays in a variety of ways. Your position on defense has more to do with the size and quickness of opponents. When George says he doesn't want to be a 4, it means he doesn't want to guard dudes ...

Re: NBA Western/Eastern Conference Finals Thread

If you're a Raptors fan, are you encouraged by this season and by this playoffs? Do you want to keep this team together and give it another go next year? YES This is the deepest they have been in the playoffs. I'd see what I could add and enjoy the ride for a couple more years before they go back t...

George was pretty unhappy about playing out of position in Indiana. I don't think he will play the 4 at his new destination.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)

Rumor has it that the Suns could trade the 2 lottery picks and Brandon Knight for Paul George. Or instead of Knight, the Suns would have to include Booker. I would do Knight, Tucker, 4 & 28. I'm not really a fan of Paul George, although I admit that he had a monster playoffs this year. But he's...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)

I don't see it hard for McD to extract value out of Knight. You surely have seen the figures thrown around. Yet to enter his prime. Consolidated. Could be the next Jason Terry, with a touch of Jamal. A nice horse if you know what to do with him. I am more afraid of McD not actually wanting to trade...

Re: NBA Western/Eastern Conference Finals Thread

I do want a guy who can score at the basket, but we can do better than Biyombo. He's a career reserve who is playing above his head in this playoffs. I respect him for that, but we need a star. As for the Green/Manu comparison, both are second round picks who made themselves "stars" by she...

Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:What are y'all's takes about why OKC is stomping the Warriors so badly?
Aggressiveness, which leads to GS fouls. The Thunder are putting GS in situations they aren't prepared to defend. Both Thompson and Bogut (Who has been very good in his minutes) played limited minutes due to fouls last night.

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

This mock draft has us selecting Brown & Luwawu. I like Luwawu a lot. Brown, not so much. With Warren and Tucker on the team we are still going to select 2 SFs? With holes the size of the Grand Canyon at PF? Do they even think about team fits when they do these things or do they just rank them ...

Re: DRAFT LOTTO 2016

Baseball is a great sport to watch while doing something else, like talking with you family or cooking dinner, or working late, etc. Or checking your cell phone in Korea, apparently! It's a game to relax with, not a game to get worked up over. If you try to just watch the game, and you're hoping to ...

Re: Suns News: Week 25 4/11-4/17

We shouldn't read too much into who the Suns interview or work out this year. With 4 picks scattered throughout the draft, we will be looking at everybody. And, honestly, Skal is the textbook example of someone you have to talk to and work out. He has amazing athleticism and skill. You've got to tal...

Re: NBA Western/Eastern Conference Finals Thread

I hope Len is watching Biyombo in these playoffs. Size and skill are nice, but a hustling big guy can change a playoff series just by deciding to get all of the rebounds.
