_MJ_ Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 If he stays healthy, Westbrook is going to have a stat heavy season, but I always said I take Durant over him every time despite all of the Durant drama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Westbrook is incredible, probably the best athlete in the NBA. But KD is just below the LeBron/Russ tier of super athletes, has a better jump shot, and is around 7". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 This might be the first likeable Lakers team since ... I don't know when. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 LAAAAAAKERS!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit! Warriors clearly thought they could just coast and and then when they realized they couldn't, it was too late. Warriors definitely stepped it into high gear, but LA retaliated. Best Lakers win that Kobe had nothing to do with in forever. Curry 0-10 from 3, Thompson 2-10 from 3. And that Larry Nance Jr. dunk was crazy.

RandomAct Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 It's kinda blowing my mind, that going into the season, I was hyped for Bogut but worried about Barnes. It's been the exact opposite though. Yeah, we're 0-5, but Barnes has been very good, and Bogut is kinda holding back the offense. We looked so much better with him out tonight. I know it's early, but I'm at a loss at what can turn things around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Lakers been fun this season which I don't think I've said in like 5 years! Kinda strange seeing Swaggy P starting on this team & playing pretty well. Think everyone thought he was gonna get cut by the Lakers during the summer and kept waiting for it to happen. Young guys on the team are fun. Randle looks like he's improved. Also think Luke won me over by playing Tarik Black a bit more than Byron ever did just to keep everyone from asking, "Why isn't he playing Tarik Black?" on my twitter timeline. Sucks that Anthony Davis is on the Pelicans with that 0-6 start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Timberwolves have been really frustrating to watch early in the season. They look like a playoff team for 50-75% of the game and then it all falls apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Mavs FINALLY get a W, and earned the fuck out of it tonight too. Smothering defense in the second half, Barnes continuing to shock me, and a surprising game from a dude who may be a hidden gem for us, Dorian Finney-Smith. As long as Barnes doesn't become 2013 OJ Mayo, I REALLY like our future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Curry's record is a nice wallpapering over them nearly getting rolled by a 0-6 Pelicans after losing by 20 to the Lakers. Watching a replay of that Lakers game again last night. He dogs it on D big time, and feel that Klay's slump has much to do with Curry's options on offense being to either shoot or clear space and act as a none too subtle decoy, rather than being able to give Klay any good looks himself. 5.9 APG compared to 6.8 career is difficult to tell a story - would be interested to see a breakdown of that stat - how many good 3 point looks is he giving his teammates? As crazy as it sounds, I'd let him go at the end of the season/or at least offer far less than what other teams are going to. Surely a Charlotte return is in the mix?

RandomAct Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 That moment you realize your team might be better off without Dirk. The young boys are balling hard right now, and the defense has been great with Finney-Smith and Anderson getting more minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I just watched a tired as hell Rockets on the last game of a five game road trip just hold the Spurs under 100 points and hand them their third home loss of the season with Harden finishing with a triple double. If I was Harden Harden would be my favorite player too. I think all those assists were there in previous years, just nobody could shoot. With Anderson and Gordon, they're making those shots.

Lawful Metal Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 The way Harden is passing right now, he should be QB for the Texans. And, he wouldn't have to play defense for the Texans either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Didn't Harden lead the NBA two years ago in"assists on three pointers"? He's a perfect fit for his coach, in both good and bad ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
