    That is absolutely what I am saying.

    The best part about basketball that is highly underrated is that typically the best teams are the teams remaining at the end. 3 out of the last 4 years OKC is in the WCF and it would have been 4 straight years if not for the Westbrook injury.

    When I said earlier in the season that Presti hit a homerun with Steven Adams it was more like the 3 run variety.

    Ive never seen someone so enamored with a player that does absolutely nothing.

    Its called projection of what you.are seeing based off of expected improvement. You should learn how to understand the game of basketball.

    Some bad calls in the Wizards game.

    But the Wiz were up 1 with 6-7 minutes left.

    Indiana outscored them 20-6.

    Refs didnt cause that.

    For a guy who was thought to be in the DLeague all year, i can understand his excitement. Adams keeps getting better and better.

    Still fouls too much but oozing with potential.

    He has potential, certainly. He also has no clue on the offensive side of the ball at all and is terrible defensively bc all he can do is foul. Any projection of him would be: the league has hardly any big men and Adams can run down the court without tripping over; thus, he should become an average NBA center.

    What? Terrible defensively. Man you either have no watched him play or have no clue how to diagnose what you are seeing.

    Also, you can't throw him the ball and expect him to score but what he does do well is set excellent screens and knows how to roll/cut to the basket. He can catch the ball and finish.

    And, the best thing about him is that he is a monster rebounder. In 2 years he will average 11+ boards a game.

    Have you heard Steve Kerr and Van Gundy talk about this kid? I think they know what they are talking about.

    He's the same caliber rebounder as Ibaka, who has averaged between 7.5 and 8.8 rebounds per game in roughly 30 mins per game. Adams would have 12 fouls in 30 minutes.

    Yes, in his age 20 rookie season those are his numbers per 30 minutes. You are right about that.

    Do you have any other brilliant insight sir?

    Lamb is gonna be great too. And Perry Jones. And Ibaka will be the best power forward in the game. And Russ will be the best point guard. We get it.

    That was one thing he said. I'm too young to remember Bill Laimbeer in the 80's.

    Kerr also said he was going to be one of the best centers in the NBA which is what I believe. Probably in the top 5-10 real early on and dependent on his offensive improvement maybe higher.

    Never said Lamb or Perry Jones would be great.

    Never said that Ibaka either but I've been saying IBaka was a great player and you've only agreed recently.

    Russ is the best PG in the NBA. Put it in your sig...whatever you want. Russ is the top.
