NBA Discussion 2016/2017

Feels like it's been a month since Kemba's had a good shooting day.

Its not like hes been an atrocious shooter though. Had 20 points on 16 shots today

 

[Scoe]

Kemba has been fine its 82 games still had 20, 5 and 4 and a win in 32 minutes.

 

[Scoe]

Russell Westbrook is so sick 45, 11, and 11.

Still amazed Knicks got KP #4 and C's are stuck with Jaylen Brown #3

 

[BUConn10]

Is Marcus Smart every going to be a quality starter in this league or has that ship sailed? That jump shot is very suspect.

 

[JSM1970]

No, can't shoot

Would like to see him, Brown and Nets pick for Boogie

Or move him straight up for Noel

Different drafts...

 

[Scoe]

Great game whoever isn't watching this is missing out.

 

[superjohn]

Anyone else notice Hubie Brown doesn't age? He's 83 and has looked the same for the past 30 years.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Kyrie is amazing

 

[superjohn]

Kyrie is amazing

Last two minutes of a tight game and it's give Kyrie the ball and let him score, not LeBron.

Should have taken Bender, Jaylen Brown blows. He has zero basketball skills.

Bender can develop and has size.

The Boston sports stations hate Brown too. Everyone is pissed this is the 3rd pick.

Nothing sums up your idiocy like using Boston sports stations to defend your position.

What is you explanation for the pick? The kid is terrible, plays behind a player they have locked up for 4 years and they passed on other players.

My explanation is everyone sees it and is pissed about it. I think Brown will have to go soon because it's going to deteriorate where fans can't stand the kid.

Awesome that video should be a thread title, we gotta do our part to get him into the all-star game after all he has done for us.

I'm not up on the Boston-specific sports scene, but the dude just got drafted. If he's disappointing so far, fine. But you honestly think it's as simple as "this guy can't play basketball and needs to leave asap"?

Sounds a bit overly dramatic about a top 5, one and done 2 guard...and I'd say literally no matter who the player, you don't decide on a player based on his first 3 months in the league...

But then again, Kris Bryant, Bryce Harper etc are all already deemed busts, so it makes some sense...

 

[James]

@Scoe I agree, though i dont think admins really care much about alums in the nba forget voting (unless its a hs kid of some relation and its mass live player of the week). This thread was moved out of the mens bball discussion forum last year at one point.

 

[JSM1970]

On a team that needed shooting they draft a kid who can't shoot

The Boston media seems to hate the kid, which is tough and adds to the pressure of playing there.

I always said for $30M+/year I think Harper and Bryant would be way overpaid

Aigne has been lousy lately, Hunter was awful for a 1st, Young, Brown, we'll see if either of the stashes work out, Smart was lousy considering they could have taken Randle, LaVine, TJ Warren, Saric, Efrid Payton, Shabazz (joking), etc.

The Chicago Bulls have waived guard R.J. Hunter.

You seem intensely unhappy in basically every single post.

 

[JSM1970]

Last 3 drafts have been lousy so far, 2016 still somewhat TBD. I didn't want Brown @ #3, terrible pick. Awful shooter.

bucks twolves @ 8, talk about an abundance of high draft picks and franchise centerpieces. Parker vs Wiggins was always interesting, i'm leaning towards jabari at the moment. Giannis should go off for any dfs players.

Going to be tough - IT is probably a lock now after the couple weeks he's had, including the 52 last night.

Best chance is for Charlotte to be in third in the east (or even second if they can catch Toronto). Then you almost have to give them a selecion based on team success. Home game with the Cavs tonight is one that would be helpful to get a W.
