Lakers will get murked tonight.
That was awesome. Highlight of the season in game 1. Still don't think we win 20 games this year.
His big issue was shooting. If he develops a reliable jumper he is certainly going to out perform his draft position.
Deal.Gallo and Faried for Gay sounds like something the new Nuggets management would do. Its fascinating that they are getting worse while adding short term and long term money.Messiah with have Faried in a Raptors jersey by the end of the year
He was just kind of floating around. Based on the giant sample that I've seen of him (last night and one game in the tourney) he doesn't look long for the NBA. Kind of like a poor man's Bargnani.
If Turner turns things around and shows he can play well, particularly with MCW, why would you necessarily want to sell? He's due a second conttact soon, but if he and MCW can combine for 40+ points, a dozen dimes, and a dozen rebounds a game why would you want to trade him? Not like they are going to win so many games as to not get one of the top few picks. If - big if b/c it was just one game - those two can consistently play at a high level together a player like Julius Randle with the 3rd or 4th pick would be a great add.
Evan Turner's value on the offensive end is with the ball in his hands as a point guard/forward. Without the ball, he's not good enough because he doesn't have the range you need for a 2 guard. It's why he was a horrible fit with Jrue Holliday. I also don't think he's athletic enough to defend the 2 or 3 positions on a consistent enough basis. He can be a good fantasy player, but I don't think you will win a championship with him.
I agree it's just one game but it was a good game and exciting to watch. I'm hoping he corrects some of the issues that plagued him in college but only time will tell.BigSteelThrill said:
Not sure it was the knee. He was out partying for Gabby's birthday the night before.
NBA should mandate at least one GSW primetime game each week.
Always good to see a PG like Jamaaaal Tinsley at the bottom of the league in mph.
Pretty excited to see Al Jefferson ahead of James Harden.Always good to see a PG like Jamaaaal Tinsley at the bottom of the league in mph.
The five fastest to date include two white Duke guys and an Australian from a mid-major. Six of the top eleven are white guys.Pretty excited to see Al Jefferson ahead of James Harden.Always good to see a PG like Jamaaaal Tinsley at the bottom of the league in mph.
Tiny sample aside, I guess that does make some sense.

Yeah, I assume that once the sample size gets larger we'll see it's more of a style of play/hustle stat than a speed stat. Like most stats I don't think there's much value for at least another month or so. I think the passing ones will be particularly interesting to see. We've had advanced stats on scoring, rebounding and to some extent defense for a while now, but understanding passing has lagged behind IMO.Tiny sample aside, I guess that does make some sense.

I must say I'm terribly disappointed to see Nick Young not even on the last page in passes per game.

" Perkins is just a blight. He's a rage-colored blob hovering over a misery-colored blob on a bruise-colored background, forever."
MCW has a lot of potential. Took it to Wall down the stretch. This is a much better squad than we thought in the preseason. That said, Thad Young had huge mismatches all night and that's the biggest reason they won. Evan Turner was also taking advantage of Beal's softness. Washington should be so much better. They have interesting pieces, but they literally run no offense. You can't get away with that in today's NBA. Wall doesn't have the bball IQ and/or experience to make up for the lack of scheme unfortunately. They need a X's and O's coach in the worst way.
I wish I could have wagered one million dollars on that being your answer.
