Great season on the best team in history (record wise) while leading the league in points & steals. Not the best player in the world, but he was the right MVP this year.
I was listening to Bomani on ESPN Radio and he pointed at that Melo actually never said this. In fact, nobody from Melo's camp or "his people" never said this either. This idea spawned from someone "who's thinking falls in line with Melo's" which is another way to say "we made this shit up, but...
1. Derrick Rose is completely washed. He will never return to MVP level.
2. Any scenario in which you're selling Jimmy Butler (the best player) and not getting another star to take his place (Horford? Come on...? Really?) is a guaranteed "no"
3. We are past the point of teams like the 04...
I agree, he is a liability against the pick and roll. Which makes it even more curious as to why SA doesn't attack it. But Aldridge was shooting 75% from the field in games 1-2, averaging nearly 40 a game, and then Kanter began to take on a heavier assignment in games 3, 4, and 5...
Were we not watching the same play at the end of game 2 where Adams successfully defended a 3-on-1 COMPLETELY BY HIMSELF; first taking the driver, shutting him down, going out to the corner to block Patty Mills directly after, and tying up the ball on the floor all within seconds of each...
Adams has been the second best defender out of both teams in the entire SA/OKC series, after Kawhi, what are you guys talking about lmao? He matches up very well with draymond defensively.
Aldridge is a player that relies heavily on his midrange shooting. Duncan has been a total nonfactor in this series. I don't see how you can say Kanter just "plants himself in the paint" especially when Donovan has played him on Aldridge down the stretch in recent games.
Right, because the Warriors did so well against a one man isolation last year in the Finals... Kanter has been playing out of his mind, and if OKC is able to have a third guy step up for them offensively, they're incredibly dangerous.
They're also set up to be a better challenge to the Warriors. Two bonafide top 5 players in the entire league who seem to be figuring it out with the give-and-take with regards to who is going to takeover and when. The team has been the best 4th quarter team in the playoffs after being the worst...
Really dumb move by the Grizzlies, after a really dumb move to fire the guy before him (Lionel Hollins). Seems like they're just making changes for the sake of making changes.
Was right on the low/outside corner of the zone. It's on the replay. It was an off speed pitch that continued to sink away. It's not where the ball ends up, it's where it crosses the zone, and it crossed as a strike.
Miami Heat reporter Ira Winderman told 560 WQAM that he believes Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh may never play again. Bosh has been battling problems stemming from a blood clot dating back to last season, in which the Heat missed the playoffs. There was talk that he would return to the team in...
That's the difference between the two that I'm seeing. Simmons will strictly play like a guard. More of a Magic Johnson type of impact (I'm in no way saying he will be nearly as good or even sniff Magic, just comparing play style), while Thon will be more like a Blake Griffin/Giannis that can be...
While that is true, Thon is taller and if he is also given the ability to act as a guard-forward type of player we could very well see similar numbers. Obviously not in hise rookie year, but I picture Thon as Giannis with better scoring, better rebounding, better defensive presence, and worse...
