I guess I could see that in a small ball type of play. All 3 of those guys have the length, but they are pretty skinny, especially Giannis and Middleton, to play PF. I guess if Kidd could make Jared Dudley work at the 4, he could make Parker work.All three of those guys have ambiguous positions, there should be no problem getting Middleton 30 mpg in the future.Middleton is underrated. It is sad he will likely be the odd man out when Parker returns with Giannis a mainstay. Middleton would be a great 3rd option on a team like the clippers.SWC said:nice win for bango and the boys last night but man i wish that they did not give up tobias harris i think that guy is going to be something special too bad so sad for milwaukee brohans
I don't watch much Bucks basketball, but according to Basketball Reference, Giannis has played 50% of his minutes at PF (8% at center), Middleton has played 66% PF (3% at center), and Parker played 8% at PF. According to 82games its a little different, Giannis shows less time at PF and more at SF, Parker is almost exclusively PF, and Middleton is pretty close to BBR.I guess I could see that in a small ball type of play.

Definitely the ball in face. If you are going to drop $200 on a ticket, watch the ####### game.Tremendous night for vines in the NBA last night. Can't decide which I like more:
Courtside fan mocks Glenn Rivers
Ball in face
ETA: Who am I kidding, ball in face is clearly superior
This one might have been better then my previous all-time favorite "fan getting hit with the ball" clip, which strangly enough also featured Gerald Henderson. Tough call. I enjoy the face-smushing effect, but there's something to be said for the clean bounce off the noggin followed by collapsing to the floorDefinitely the ball in face.

NBAtv - Noon - set ya DVRI hate the Cavs and Kyrie, and I'd still sit down and watch a replay of that game .
You don't have to, I remember it well. I was wrong about him. Always been a good finisher but he's jumped several levels since December. Not the defensive abomination he was for his whole career before then either. Amazing what happens when the internet shines a spotlight on your defense; first Harden and now Irving.p and s: I'm gonna be nice and not bump the Brandon Knight post again![]()
Because Simmons is always comparing Kyrie to Steve Francis, I went back and looked up Francis's career high: 44 points (only time he scored 40 or more in a game)p and s: I'm gonna be nice and not bump the Brandon Knight post again![]()
This guy cannot make clutch free throws. First missed both against Miami that set up the ray Allen 3 then last night.Kawhi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![]()

Just one. That's all we ask.You don't have to, I remember it well. I was wrong about him. Always been a good finisher but he's jumped several levels since December.

The only consolation I can take from it is that by dominating the ball like this he might be driving Kevin Love out of Cleveland, which would provide me with many years of Andrew Wiggins jokes if they don't win a title. But they're gonna win a title.
OMG I forgot it was him that gave Miami that win!This guy cannot make clutch free throws. First missed both against Miami that set up the ray Allen 3 then last night.Kawhi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![]()

I don't watch much NBA anymore but watched the 4th quarter of this gameKyrie finishes with 57. Perfect 10 for 10 from line and 7 for 7 from 3. Great comeback by Cavs.
Charles needs to stay in the studio.

I think he meant from the East, specifically speaking of the Cavs. Ridiculous comment from Charles.Charles Barkly: I don't think there's a team good enough to win 3 straight playoffs series in the West!!

No, what he said is he doesn't think any team in the west can win three straight series on the road. He was stressing the importance of not ending up as a 5 seed or lower.I think he meant from the East, specifically speaking of the Cavs. Ridiculous comment from Charles.Charles Barkly: I don't think there's a team good enough to win 3 straight playoffs series in the West!!

That said, Chuck is fun in the studio but should not be calling games. You'd think a rich guy would learn the English language, but he still talks like a poor black Alabama 3rd grader.
Damn, I don't want the Bulls to have to face the Bullets again. Not a good matchup.The likelihood of a Wizards-Bulls rematch/street brawl and the emerging possibility of Cavs-Pacers with Paul George has me slightly more optimistic about the first round games in the East. Raptors-Bucks would be OK, too. At least that slate would be a decent undercard before the main event of the West first round games.
They go to a defensive lineup sometimes in the 4th. Blatt plays matchup basketball and likes to dig in late. I think that's pretty much all it boils down to. Mozgov sits alot of 4ths too, which sort of contradicts that notion since he is a better defender and rim protector than Love. If Love didn't play in the 4th last night, I was too busy paying attention to Kyrie, I do remember he did get in during the OT.B-Deep said:I don't watch much NBA anymore but watched the 4th quarter of this gameCraig_MiamiFL said:Kyrie finishes with 57.

Barkley is so bad, so so bad, just awful
i love watching the way the spurs play, and kyrie was awesome!!
but, someone explain the Kevin Love thing to me,cause i do not get it. I am pretty sure he did not play at all in the 4th

Shumpert was needed last night defensively and Tristan provides most of what Love provides minus the outside shot. I think they were rolling with Kyrie, Shump, JR, Lebron, Thompson for crunch time....so they had shooters out there to spread the floor.
Random incredibly bitter rivalries like this and Clippers-Warriors are why I hate the idea of getting rid of the conferences. Do we really want to make it really unlikely that these matchups occur just because sometimes a 45 win team that has no shot at the title anyway gets left out?Jack White said:Damn, I don't want the Bulls to have to face the Bullets again.

Sam Cassell is on their bench. He would be missed.I'm trying to figure out what my reaction would be if the Clippers charter plane went down into some mountains.
Maybe a shrug.
