    That little rant he went on against player tracking metrics was so damn obnoxious.  Really LeBron, you're as tired as anyone after games? Are Al Horford and the baby Celtics making you play a few minutes of playoff intensity defense for the first time all season?  Over in the Varsity Conference, they're struggling to find 6 guys who can play 48 minutes of near-perfect, focused, lock down defense, lest the other team blows them out by 30.  But playing one half somewhat hard each game before your team decides whether or not to throw in the towel must be tough.

    It's hard doing it all yourself. He needs to go to Houston or Philly, so we can be guaranteed more "rested Lebron" in the playoffs for years to come.

    Jersey sales show that Durant is popular among kids. Kids root for winners and ballers, and kids wear jerseys. Like when I asked for a Shaq jersey for Christmas when I was 12.  

    Shaq is one of the greatest players of all time and was popular.

  3. The Dunc'd on Podcast did a quick bit on Porter Jr. today. They watched him alot at the 2017 Hoops Summit and raved about the player he was a year ago. I think either the Mavs take him or someone ahead of them falls in love.

    KD is extremely ornery and mad at the world right now. He knows the respect he had is gone. The only people who respect him are UT alumn (although not all) and Warriors fans.

    This is not true. Fans like winners and ballers, and they quickly forgave Lebron and KD.

    Ive already convinced myself that i'll be happy with any of Mo, Jackson, Porter or Mikal.

    In fact thats probably my prefered order

    I'm becoming more intrigued by Porter Jr. I like all the guys on your list, but a guy with Porter's size and offensive skill seems invaluable.

    We'll be seeing him in 2019.

    I had a marvelous thought yesterday. If A&M loses to LSU this year, we'll have a chance to get a victory over LSU before A&M does. That'll be fun tweeting.

    Gotta think Wiggins if immovable, unless he's packaged in with KAT or Butler somehow. No one's going to take a flyer on a dude who will be making $33M per year at the end of his current deal.

    As a Mavs fan, I would be fine taking a chance on Wiggins. He's young, and I'd like to see him with a change of scenery. We gotta spend the money on somebody at some point.

    I think the idea of moving him would be to lock up KAT and Butler long-term.

    I'd be picking Doncic #1 without any hesitation, but the range of opinions is what makes drafts fun.

    This is where I'm at. He just seems perfect for today's NBA, and not to mention, fun to watch.

    And be careful on that bandwagon. As full as it’s getting, it could be dangerous.


    Sent from my cock to my mouth

     

    It's not a bandwagon. They are the defending champs until they aren't. Let's see how much all of you care about KD's decision if the Rockets win it all this year. You're all full of shit.

    Yes they can. They are all capable shooters and know their zones to take them. Ariza and Tucker attacking the basket was what surprised me. They usually just stand in the corners, tonight they were active off the ball and Golden State wasn't ready for it. Now that they have the tape it's going to be interesting to see how the Warriors adjust. Durant has been nearly flawless in 2 games and the Rockets are +9 on the series. If Durant has an off game, the Warriors are going to be in trouble.

    I don't think so, 50% is pretty good.

    Tonight says a lot about the Warriors without KD...... Frankly, if KD doesn't go to the Warriors, I"m not sure they win another title.  Very serious.  They can get exposed in the playoffs and Cleveland and Houston have shown the blueprints by attacking Curry and wearing him down.  I'm not saying they wouldn't have won another but it's looking less and less likely as we see guys like Livingston and Iggy become less effective with time and age and other team's understanding how to attack them.  Also, as other guys on dynasty's explain, those deep runs into the playoffs wear on you.  Now they would have Harrison Barnes and perhaps his value could have kept the Warriors afloat but damn they look really bad sometimes.  Tonight, KD (who didn't play great defense) was the only dude that showed up....

     

    This is a great hypothetical hot take. For everyone interested in stuff like this, check out my fan fiction blog where Lebron never went to Miami and OKC never traded James Harden. You'll be shocked at how differently everything unfolded.

    yeah i could be wrong, but to me it feels like it'd be better for the rockets to match a 4 year max from another team rather than give a 5 year max of their own. 

    Not a Rockets fan, but it seems to me, if you have Harden and Capela locked up, you remain a contender for the next 5 years. You remain a desirable free agent destination and can constantly tweak role players until you find the perfect mix.

    Not to mention that the Spurs are the New England Patriots of the league, had just won 65 games, featured a top-5, best-two-player-in-the-League, first-team All-NBA stud, plus the best coach in the game. To slam him for joining the Warriors yet act like joining the Spurs would have been more noble is equally asinine to the rest of that post.

    And who would want to spend the prime of their life in Oklahoma playing for shitty coaches.

    After getting Cook, Green and Jamison last class and Kenyatta already in this one?  No.

    My relationship with recruiting news is that I only want to be around when guys pick UT. It's the same reason not to check instagram or Facebook when you stay in on a Saturday night. There will be future weekends, but I don't want to know about all the fun I'm not having.
