Kolek planning to go pro
The Bulls need to start over.
Damn....apparently Anthony Davis decided it's time to ball. 55 and 17 today and 22-30.
Actually, he just got healthy. Still a Top 10 guy.
Never has been.But good for him for having a couple good games in a row.
He's never been t-10 in the league?
Of course he has. He will be a 1st ballot HoFer.
Which means nothing in regards to whether he’s a top 10 player. There are plenty of first ballot HOFers who weren’t top 10 players.Funny that you’re an AD stan when you knock KD because he hasn’t won anything without Steph. Remind me what AD has done without LBJ? Made it out of the first round once, and Jrue had to drag him in order to make that happen?
?????????????????????????????????
Yeah, I don't think he watches much hoops.
Once again, says the guy who claims KD can't be a top 5 player because he's never won anything as the best player on his team (despite 2 Finals MVPs saying otherwise). But we'll stan for AD, who's won exactly 1 Playoff series without sitting out until he gets traded to arguably the best player to ever play the game's team, and that one series he was dragged by Jrue Holiday to get the series win.But hey, nothing like being consistent in your evaluations!By the way, what is with old people claiming other people don't know/don't watch "ball?" Are you guys missing your 7th grade days or what?
AD sits last night for most of the game and the Lakers piss themselves in Cleveland and don’t show up for the 4th quarter.I love the NBA, but the last 4-5 min of that game are why people legitimately complain about effort. Tied at 92, Cavs go on a 16-6 run. Up 10 with 4 min left, Lakers give up and mail it in. The remaining possession involve the Lakers half assing fade aways, Kendrick Nunn bricking rushed 25 footers, and the Cavs walking up every possession and just trying to fade the game away. The Lakers scored 2 baskets in the final 4:30 and it’s not cause the Cavs we’re playing lights out lock down defense.
Come on. Didn't we see Marquette go something like 9:00 scoreless earlier this year? The NBA is awesome. Outside of Marquette games, I'd much, much rather watch a high end NBA game vs. a high end college game. Give me people that knock down open shots consistently over the oftentimes brick fests you see in the college game.Yes, a single NBA game means much less than a single college game. There are 3x the games in an NBA season, and only one thing matters (your record) in the NBA vs. how much you win or lose by, who you beat and where you beat them, etc. in college. So yes, if a team is down 8 with 50 seconds left the NBA teams will just run the time out rather than turning the final 50 seconds into 5 minutes of free throws in college. But overall the NBA is so much superior as a product.
None of this is a knock on the NBA as a whole. You can see from my posting history in this thread and others that I'm a huge fan. Hence why I was even watching Lakers/Cavs (in the early hours of the morning in Belgium as I was getting work done in fact). I adore college basketball but Ive transitioned to watching more random NBA games than random college games the last few years.I have no issue with punting the last minute or two of a game thats basically unwinnable in a 82 game season, none. Like my post highlights, it was more the Lakers deciding an 8 point deficit with 3+ minutes to go was "f it" when their first attempt shots weren't falling. I could care less about the outcome, it was just a wet fart ending to an otherwise entertaining back and forth game, highlighted by Mitchell going nuclear as the new Cavs superstar as Lebron came back to Cleveland expecting adoration.However, I will never, NEVER, not hate hate HATE the shot clock violation with more than 10 seconds left on the clock. Crossing halfcourt and holding the ball for 20 seconds to take a 24 second call with 12/15/20 seconds left on the clock is just stupid and oddly arrogant.
All Phoenix needs is a 40 point run and they’re right back in it.
Pummeling the best team in the West on their home court should be a wake up call for the Bucks. Because frankly Boston is better right now and I don't think it's close. Middleton will have to come back to all-star level at minimum.
