NBA Thread

Who said just this year?

I said this is where the NBA is going. Why would we look at what existed two years ago?

Bradley plays both guard spots. He guards the opposing teams point guards.

Yeah, but he isn't a facilitator. Its a horrible example.

 

[Heyward]

Calderon didn't make the WCF's and Parker is a shoot first PG for sure.

 

[Heyward]

Well, the Thunder have a better roster than LA....not that difficult. Plus, yanno, KD and stuff....

Blake?

And either is Westbrook so I guess we can't call him a point guard?

 

[gilesfan]

So Parker is a shoot first PG that doesn't actually shoot that much?

I would definitely refer to Westbrook as a combo guard more than a point guard. Absolutely.

So Parker is a pass first PG that doesn't actually assist that much?

Just because he doesn't get assists doesn't mean he doesn't pass the ball.

It was 6 months ago.....but close.

 

[BRule]

Blake?

Isn't close to as good as KD....what's your point? Ibaka, Harden when he was on OKC.......again, what's your point? It can't be that LAC has a better roster than OKC because that's just dumb.

You just said that SAS uses their bigs and KL + Manu to move the ball.....like 10 minutes ago. How is this real life

Yes I said that. My comment was in response to a similar point that because someone does get a lot of shots up they aren't shoot first. Neither of which I believe are true.

So why bring up the APG numbers if you've already stated why that's the case?

GET EXCITED GILES......

The Wolves are reportedly shopping out-of-favor forward Anthony Bennett, and they are said to be eyeing Kevin Seraphin of the Wizards.

Just to respond to a comment I thought was silly.

Trade makes no sense. Seraphin is the only guy outside of Nene that has a back to the basket game. Seraphin is guy on the 2nd unit that can get points all by himself. Anthony Bennett does nothing.

K.

Not sure why they would trade him either. Seraphin is under utilized in that offense.

Somebody misses James Harden:
