That was cold blooded Rick James style.

76ers have the 3rd best offense in Orlando since putting Shake in the lineup and moving Average Al to the bench.

I just typed it and I don't believe it.

None of them are particularly good shooters either. Pop’s already in the HOF but is he going to just pave his way to retirement with new styles of play and lineup combos that nobody’s thought of just as a flex?

Lonnie's 41% from 3, seems like a good shooter to me.

2 years in a row they’ve whiffed in 1st round and the draft before that infamous Markelle pick.

What are you talking about? Thybulle is easily one of the best rookies this year. Even veteran all-star players are calling him a defensive monster.

Shake Milton seems like a very very very good draft pick, just because we got him in the 2nd round is a bonus, not a penalty.

Korkmaz was a good late-round pick.

Zhaire broke his foot, and then almost died in the hospital from an unknown sesame allergy, hardly something to be blamed on the draft process or team.

They also crushed it with the Shamet pick.

In short, you don't know what you're talking about.

Oh yeah, they absolutely nailed the Simmons and Embiid picks, but I guess when you're cherry-picking your results you can't count those either lmaoooo.

5 picks totally nailed, 1 other solid hit, one big miss, 1 injury - unknown as of yet. Plus the extra 2nd round picks we got from trading down.

They also got Tobias and Mike Scott for their protected first-round pick this year and the Heat pick, which won't be in the top 20 either. Tobias alone is more valuable than those 2 picks.

And maybe the worst defense.

They are the first team since 1991 to give up 40 points in the 4th quarter of back to back games. And they did it against Indiana and San Antonio.

6 games left for Brown to get it together.

As a Hawks fan I love Horford, but he's toast. He was such a terrible fit.

volblorx8634 · 08-04-2020, 11:21 AM

Can't wait to watch the Kings get carved up by Luka. I may need to turn this into some sort of drinking game. Why do I continue to allow myself to experience this pain?

LeBron and AD are the perfect combo. They both know when to let the other do the work, much like the Warriors superstars could all coexist and share the wealth. He may or may not win one without LeBron, it really depends on who the Lakers bring in. It takes teams to win championships. To not credit AD with a HUGE hand in where the Lakers are now though is to simply ignore facts.

Just because no one would win with that squad doesn't mean AD gets extra credit for sticking it out. At the end of the day, a player needs MVPs and needs to be a big part of an NBA title to get hobby love. There are so many guys in the AD stratosphere, and that's why he doesn't get much love.

Lillard, AD, Harden, Westbrook, CP3... all elite players with 8+ years in the league and no titles. All get a lot of "underrated" attached to their names, but underrated how? The majority of the $ funnels to the top. You need to be a perennial MVP candidate and perennial title contender to get any serious hobby love. It's just how it is. And if you like AD or any of those other guys, enjoy collecting a guy who isn't so damn expensive. They're superstar level, so they're in a lot of insert sets and auto sets, but aren't over the top expensive at the same time.

Mavs defense has been really bad in the bubble. You never know..

True, but so has the Kings. I can see the Mavs getting to 150

After Nets upset Bucks, I'm predicting TLC silvers should catch up to Giannis. You heard it here first.

on 1.4 attempts per game. hardly what I would consider a "shooter", let alone a "good shooter". I'm pretty sure everyone (else) knows what I mean.

volblorx8634 · 08-04-2020, 02:55 PM

The race for 9 in the west is insane. If the Kings win and Blazers lose today, all 4 bubble teams will be within a game of each other. What else? If the Suns upset the Clips somehow, they'll only be half a game out of 10th and a game out of 9th....

That's going to make this home stretch fun.

But one tough thing...

How do I invest in and dump all Zion at the same time?!?!?!!

wow just saw his line, very nice. I've always liked his tools - feel like he hasn't been given a fair shot yet, plus foreign imports often take a bit longer to adjust to the NBA

Vinny1984 · 08-04-2020, 03:46 PM

Anyone actually watch the bucks game? From the looks of the box score, mke barely played anyone.

Oh man - I didn't think of that. Allright... I just need to think of a good title...

How about: Official TLC - wet as waterfalls - French Connection - future finals MVP - (fire emoji x3) thread

Joking aside, I really like watching him and the entire Nets team play - they have nothing to lose and they play hard. Playoffs should be fun.

volblorx8634 · 08-04-2020, 04:06 PM

Kings gonna get smashed in OT, they're just not a smart team unfortunately.

Giannis had 16 / 6 / 4 in 15 minutes

Nets sat LeVert and Joe Harris and played a bunch of 2-way contract type players. Seriously who thought inviting the Nets was a good idea?

They just took down the number one team in the NBA with a roster decimated by injuries and covid - I'd say they deserve a little credit.

Let's hope so. And let's hope Luke goes down with him.

RogerGodahell · 08-04-2020, 04:36 PM

34-20-12 for a slow unathletic PG, not bad. Good to see the Mavs finally win a close game.
