Been watching the NBA a ton recently using League Pass, especially since all that's going on in sports is the Super Bowl.
Can't wait for tonight's Heat/Hornets game, which I'll actually watch on the TV because I live in Carolina... #LETSGOHEAT

I remember when the Pacers got a D grade fro drafting Myles Turner. The only thing that's a D grade on Myles Turner are his ugly shit locks.

Larry made a great move, now that Turner's in shape after missing time, you can see how he fits perfectly into their new system... Rim protection + shooting range is a skill set that's so key in playing small ball...Settling for one or the other during the playoffs puts a huge target on your back that teams have a chance to exploit on either end of the floor... |

Steph Curry ranks 26th overall defensively against his position this year. Is that any good?

Read some article today about how the sixers will never win with Okafor. His D is supposedly that bad. They called him the big Carmello lol
I just dont get how people can quit on a 19 / 20 yr old that quick.

Not that big of a deal to philly IMO but it fuuuuuuucks houston bad. |

The main part of the deal was Detroit was getting Mountious or however you spell it, the white PF from houston and marcus thorton. Houston was getting a top 8 protected first and maybe i player i forget. Philly I think was getting Joel Anthony for contract reasons and a 2nd. |

There is a difference between quitting on a guy and not believing he is the cornerstone of your franchise for the next decade. |

Let them quit on him, maybe in a few years he will become the 6th man for the Celtics!  |

Noel is much better than his stats show. But he cant play with Okafor. Theyre just drafting players til one is THAT good. There is no desire to build around anyone they got Fuck them |

And with the ridiculous cap/max contract rules in the NBA....it isn't that hard to get at least a mediocre team in a couple years. I understand being mediocre sucks....but waiting for the next lebron is worse. |

Suppose they could've found a team that was going to give them something good for him? |

Suppose the pelicans would've offered Anthony Davis for Jaleel Oka four and this years first round draft pick from Philadelphia? Is that something that you would be interested in?

Suppose they could've found a team that was going to give them something good for him? Its just the underlying message. Theyre never gonna really try to build amything. Theyre just gonna keep accumulating assets til they strike Lebron. And then have a ton of cap to surround him witj players. Theyre fools |

But that was never happening. The deal was with the Cs. Nobody on that team has Okafors Potential... So again, more draft picks |

But you are correct....there is no need to get down that much. And they were down a few times that game and came back. C's gotta get off to better starts, playoff teams won't let ya come back. |

I don't watch many Timberwolves game. But they have a pretty good roster that is a mix of quality young talent as well as solid veterans. It surprises me that they're fighting to stay out of the bottom five in the league. |

Has to be multiple first-round picks including this year is Brooklyn pic. And I'm sure that Danny would have let them have their pick of Sullenger or Olynyk or Johnson if the 76ers really were listening to offers and the Celtics didn't get it done I would have to guess that it's because they wanted multiple Brooklyn pics or somebody on the roster like Smart |
