if the clippers had a non-coach GM they'd be smart to just trade all their talented players

even with CP3 there's literally 0% chance of beating GSW/SA

but doc rivers is a fucking idiot who's too busy coaching to have foresight

>>74005607
his shooting has gone way down since becoming the starter but I guess he's not exactly "shitty" like he used to be.

but being a slightly above average shooter while being a very poor playmaker/defender makes for a pretty fucking awful PG.

>>74005561
Either Saric has good footwork or Kawhi isn't very aggressive going to the basket then.

I think spurs do have a chance but they will have to play a solid sharp 4 games against the dubs. Sometimes great teams can play bad and still manage to win but I don't see that happening in a series against these warriors. Either spurs sweep in 7 or dubs sweep in 6.

Blake Griffin is the type of player to score 29 points in a game and you still think he wasn't aggressive enough and should've gotten more.

>>74005650

>>74005502

Who says no?

Holy fuck, the Shookening is real. Is there a worse place for Jah to go? Shit coach, shit GM and shit owner.

I've had enough, the bucks are a good team on paper. They have offensive and defensive weapons, why can't they win? They shoot well every game, yet fall flat. The meme ball is doing them in. I can't take this shit anymore if the bucks don't get back on track soon, they need to tank and honestly I can't take another season like that. Enough rebuilding, it's time to actually build a winning mentality. I want to keep watching them but I may have to stop til next season and start with the same futile hope that we will actually improve. I understand we aren't the worst team in the league anymore but in reality the nets could probably beat them.

No rookie class in the last decade has had players having that much of an imediate impact in their first season.

>>74006182
on a March Wednesday in 2005. Jahlil was watching TV with his sister when suddenly Dee started breathing heavily. She’d had a bout of bronchitis, but she was breathing so awkwardly, practically gulping for air, that the kids thought she was joking. Dee was a jokester, after all, so Jahlil teased her and said he was going to take her Oreos if she didn’t stop fooling around.

But her ragged, labored breathing turned into violent coughing, and the kids realized something was wrong.

They called 911.

Dee was rushed to the hospital. Doctors determined she had a collapsed lung, but they could not save the 29-year-old.

Dee was gone.

The family’s church in Moffett wouldn’t hold everyone who wanted to come to Dee’s funeral, so they went to the only place big enough — the gym at Moffett school, the very place where Dee learned how to play basketball.

At the service, Jahlil stood at the front and read a poem.

My mother was very special.

My mother was very helpful.

She cared. She shared.

I miss her, and I will always be with her.

She had a smile that shined more than the sun, and I’m happy to be her son.

Not long after, Jahlil moved to Chicago to live with his dad.

He left Moffett.

It never left him.

Jahlil Okafor found sanctuary on the basketball court in the weeks and months after his mom died. He shot and shot and forgot about everything. He might go home after an entire day on the court, but if the memories would get to be too much, he would go back out and play some more.

His sorrow fueled his passion.

The more he wanted to forget, the better he got, and the better he got, the more he wanted to make those closest to him proud. That included his mom.

People who knew his mom well say she would definitely be proud of her son.

“His composure on the court,” Quickel, the former Roland coach, said after watching Jahlil in the Final Four, “you know, they could’ve been six points up or six points down, and his composure and his expression was the same — ‘This is business.’

“Dee was that way.”

That left a smile on her face and a lump in her throat.

“Kind of tugs at the heart a little bit,” Quickel said, “thinking, ‘That’s Dee’s boy.’”

And he’s very proud to be. Even though his journey has taken him to the heights of basketball, he thinks of his mom often. Even as he has gone far from Oklahoma, he is forever tied to Moffett.

The screen on his cell phone explains why: it is a picture if his mom’s gravestone at the cemetery there.

>The screen on his cell phone explains why: it is a picture if his mom’s gravestone at the cemetery there.

Hinks always planned that he would leave the nest someday. Jah would be balling out with AD right now if not for Jerry Colangelo

>Harden was asked if he misses playing with Westbrook.

>“Yeah, of course,” Harden said. “I think if all of us had an opportunity to play with a guy like that, you'd love playing with him because he'll run through a wall for you.

>“Every night, he brings it and he wills his team to win. He literally has to do everything. I think we can all appreciate the passion he has for the game and the love that he has. Like I said, he's a joy to watch, just because of the passion and the aggression he has. That's what makes him who he is.”

>When asked by Storm if he still finds himself “wistfully thinking about what you guys could have accomplished, the three of you together,” Harden didn't lie.

>“Recently I saw pictures of us when I was there,” Harden said. “It brought back memories, but I had to snap back because I had a game.”

>>74006318
houston gives harden, OKC gives kanter, olamemepo and a 2nd rounder (or 1st), Thunder sign Larry Sanders to come off the bench. Trade Sabonis + 2nd rounder for tucker to the suns. Get okafor for peanuts

WB
Harden
Tucker (Defense)
Lauvergne / Okafor
Adams / Sanders

Aside from Steph, is Lowry the best off the dribble 3 point shooter in the league? I'm going with yes since he leads the league in 4 point plays, mostly because of his step back and side step 3 pointers.

>>74006367
yes and yes, who's more chubbier though, Lowry or Felton, or Kyrie?

>>74006381
Felton

I still can't believe that Embiid dropped to 3rd. I get why he didn't go first, because he wouldn't have been immediately tradeable for Love, but he is THE best young post presence since Hakeem Olajuwan. You could see him doing the dream shake in fucking college.

>>74006358

Why wouldn't it be the other way around? I'm legitimately asking. Did Houston blow all their money on Anderson and Gordon?

>>74006398
>Why wouldn't it be the other way around?
because that reunites the stars where they were drafted. they played in okc not in houston and idk if houston blew their money, i didn't pay close attention to their contracts, it's just a fantasy scenario.

What happened to this kid?

>>74005989
You really think so? KAT, Snitchy D, Kristaps, Jah, Mudiay, Turner, Booker, Norm Powell, all very solid players but do you really think Booker and Kristaps for example will be HoFers? The only for sure one I can see from there is KAT. 2008 had Rose, Westbrook, Love. That's 2 HoFers and one who would be if it weren't for injury. Brook Lopez, DeAndre Jordan, Dragic, George Hill, Mo Speights, Robin Lopez, even Roy Hibbert was good at one point.

>>74006437

Lowry and Kyrie aren't chubby. Lowry used to be but he lost a lot of weight, which is why his game improved so significantly.

>>74006441
He's talking about having a big impact in their first year.

None of those players in 2008 had as great as a first year as KAT and Zingis.

>>74006390

Embiid was consensus #1 until he had sudden foot injuries. When a big has injuries like that it's a big sign, people were starting to get Greg Oden vibes from him, people were wondering if he would ever even play in an NBA game and if he did how much having a year off + recovering from injury would affect him. Nobody ever doubted his talent, they doubted his health.

His talent is so otherworldly, so far and above all of the other players, that it really should have been worth the risk for Milwaukee. Which #1 picks from the last 15 years, just based on their college/high school games, would you pick over Embiid assuming no injury? Davis, LeBron and Howard? Did anyone else have a more impressive and more complete pre-NBA game?

Klay, he's a catch and shoot specialist. I like what Kenny said, if it's off the dribble I'm putting my money on klow or maybe kemba. Only other guy who can challenge Klay is probably Gordon.

>The game itself hadn't fazed the 27 year-old; he dominated in leading his team to one of its most impressive wins of the season.

>"Probably because I talk a little bit too much," he said. "But in the wise words of Harvey Dent, you either die the hero or you live long enough to become the villain. I think that the [chatter] is what it is. But I'll continue to be who I am."
