Woah can't put Kemba in the same line as Pistol...thats not allowed here....Easy...

What's the deal with Smart? Thought he was supposed to be a defensive stopper, he gets torched. 43 for Kemba, 48 for Jamal Murray

Can’t guard greatness I guess.

 

[superjohn]

He didn't cover Murray the whole time. That team has a lot of guys to guard.

Kemba's just in the zone.

The whole team is underperforming.

I wish I could have enjoyed Kemba tonight.

The defensive stopper is supposed to stop the other team's dominant scorer though. Haven't watched much of the Celtics but seems Jaylen Brown took a big step back. It's still early though.

Don't forget leading that awful 76ers team to the nba finals.

That team was far from awful.. they were an exceptional defensive team but they just weren't a great offensive team outside of AI. They won 56 games in the regular season (same number as the Lakers and tied for the 2nd best record in the league overall).

Good offense beats good defense.

Brown and Rozier have regressed more than anyone else. But Kyrie and Morris are the only guys really doing their jobs.

Last game, Kemba dropped 60 on Jimmy Butler, another one of the premier perimeter defenders in the East. Kemba is just unguardable right now.

Biggest difference is that they’re using Kemba off the ball more, much more, this year. Same thing JC did in 2011.

I don't think this means what you think it does

 

[Robertelamin]

This is a Kemba thread. Take it to the Davidson board.

Watch the highlights, mostly abusing switches and really good screens by Zeller.

another night like this and he'll lead the league.

Austin Rivers and TWO Plumlees are getting paid more than Kemba this year.

Lead the league in what? He's already leading the league in scoring.

And Drummond rebounding.

Kemba and his agent agreed to this deal. They took the sure thing rather than wait a year for when the money really got nuts. I was shocked at the time he agreed to the deal. Obviously he is underpaid, but this was his choice.

 

[UC313]

Kembas never taken a thing for granted. He took the most money he could take at the moment. Its the reason we’ll be talking about him for years to come. Kids a warrior and hes one of our own.

Hornets have inquired about trading for Bradley Beal, per report

Or maybe, instead of moving Kemba, Charlotte can take advantage of the Wizards' implosion here in DC...

 

[Griffman]

Walker and Drummond leading the NBA in scoring and rebounding. This can only help our recruiting because these Top 100 recruits are all about getting into the NBA and our track record of getting there and playing at a high level speaks for itself.

Without Smart, he would have had back-to-back 60's.

Serious question as a college b-ball only fan. Is their any current NBA player as good as Kemba that was not a one and done or international player? Kemba one of the few examples of how improving in college can indeed help your career.

I think that they're are a lot of guys (not near Kemba's level) who have a lot of potential that go to the NBA early and get caught in that G-League net and never really get a shot. I am wondering if there was someone who went pro, stayed in the G-League a few years, really developed and went on to sign a decent NBA contract. My feeling is that by the time these kids develop in the G, there are up and comers that teams are willing to get a better shot.

Let's not go there. Theres only 1 Answer

In the Answer’s mind. Never won an NCAA. Didn’t win anything as a 76er. And his ego is/was too great to be a selfless player who could rally a team around him. Kemba doesn’t have other guys on his team to help him but he’s incredibly unselfish and always has been.
