Official 2016 NBA Off-Season Thread: Westbrook staying in OKC for 3 more years. Confirmed MVP

NO GRANTLAND AND NOW THIS GUY HAS TO POST ANALYTICS ON INSTAGRAM.

this world is so cruel.

it will get to the point where the league needs to stop jacking and take the best shot for their team. this is why i think grizz can still hang, they just need to be more clever about it.

Drummond doesn’t have an all around game outside of spectacular rebounding. It helps with his second chance points and putbacks to pad his scoring numbers. That doesn’t translate to being the best at his position.

I’m glad CTG has me on ignore. If he can’t do simple breakdowns like this without just looking at stats, then he’s worthless to discussions anyway.

Only guy comparable to Whiteside on both ends of the floor is Boogie, who does more (assists, threes, ball handling). He doesn’t have the same defensive impact that Whiteside does.

He probably wouldn’t have lineups with just Whiteside or Bosh if Stoudemire wasn’t sitting out games. Sadly I don’t think this will change. Seems like STAT came down here just to be another maintenance program participant.

It says a lot about the depth when guys like STAT and Birdman are riding the bench.

a championship contender soon? no but I think best case scenario Porzingis turns into a Dirk that can actually defend… That would be good enough for eastern conference finals with only a mediocre team surrounding him. worst case he lafrentz… and you can forget I ever posted this.

Well not really, stat is just gonna sit anywhere else, except the Lakers, he’s gonna play starters minutes there

STAT wouldn’t sit anywhere else. He showed last year in Dallas he was still capable of doing things.

The problem is Miami is top 5 in defense currently, and the defense drops significantly whenever he’s played. He’s a work in progress.

Anthony Davis is still the best Center in the league, even if he is struggling so far.

T-wolves blew a 34 point lead.

But regained the lead and won it.

Andrew Wiggins is legit.

Down to the wire loss for the Grizz…this is the good showing i was asking for from this team. The Grizzlies showed up with energy and got back to playing defense like they are known for…so happy with this effort…they looked alive tonight. They need to carry this back home and get back to playing grit basketball

Davis is not a center.

Coincidentally, their center (Asik) not being healthy is a big reason for their struggles.

i was rooting for grizz, but i mean… they got every single chance possible to win that game at the end, and they didn’t want it.

fuck the clippers. no one wanted to win this game.

Rivalry game, so I take it with a grain of salt.

Not trying to throw it, but the Grizz had plenty of motivation to out there and get a win with that tweet that Clippers intern sent out about them losing to GS by 50.

Im just saying the effort was there for the first time all season against a good team. The perimeter defense looked formidable. Maybe they woke up, maybe it was a fluke…we will see

do it.

Didn’t see that coming.

The train wreck is on schedule

George Karl has made Omar Casspi a relevant player, if you as a player can not score under George Karl, something has gone terribly terribly wrong on your end.

Hey Geo

yall seem so happy to get rid of him…lol…

heres hoping he turns over a new leaf in Memphis…or will i hate him by all star break?

I used to confuse Dragic and Udrih all the time. Now they’re on the same team.

I’m not happy about the trade because Ennis was involved. Apparently they tried to get a third team involved to give the Memphis players to. When that fell through, they added Ennis to the deal. They save $6 mill in luxury tax, but they got rid of an athletic guy with decent 3&D potential. Oh well.
