Having a point guard who can't shoot (Simmons) didn't help.
Just made think of Sakuragi from Slam Dunk but yeah :XD

Horford got plenty of time, he was a starter at first. He just sucked, bad fit so they moved him to the bench. Horford is best at the 5, which is Embiid position or at the 4 which is tobia harris position, so it created spacing problem having him starting with Embiid and Harris.
That makes sense, which is why I think he should've stayed at Celtics, he could've helped them at the 5 position, cos I don't know who theyre center is but can't be as good as Horford.

Doncic is unreal, specially for a 21 years old
Yeah man, Doncic is brilliant. Looks slow on the court but very smart and skillful player. It helps that he's got previous pro-experience; being an MVP( either league or championship) in Spain before coming over. He's also bulked to deal with the strong opponents of the league. I'm just glad that Porzingis is also fully fit this season. Last season felt like Luka had to do a lot himself or with just support players. Now he has another real superstar with him.

The Bucks are completely awful when Giannis isn't wearing his carrying pants.

Doncic is basically a slower LeBron. He’s going to be conquering the league in time.

He plays nothing like Lebron lol. He is a mix of Harden/Manu

Maybe in terms of Basketball IQ but their games are different. Plus Luka is a better shooter long range and maybe because of his age, he comes across as more of a skillful ball handler, like Harden. But Harden is a fucking scorer and I don't even like him but give him is props.

those playoffs, they play every 2 days and playoffs intensity are something else. I hope teams will get some rest before round 2 start.

Yeah Montrez comment was over the line. He should be fined, that shit shouldn't be allowed

... So does Luka. They are 1st and 3rd in fts per game. Luka isn't as good at drawing them nor as athletic (he admitted to have studied Harden's "art") but he plays with more flair, hence Manu.

Except Harden shot at a better % while also shooting 300 more 3s?

He is. You were close though.


It's a rather predictable list. You got guys that draw and guys that you are better off fouling them to stop their drive.

Luka would probably be in that 2nd category, of guys you'd rather foul. Harden as a scorer would also be in there but his eagerness to draw fouls puts him in that first group. As you said it's all the guys I would expect to see on that list, the top at least bar 10 Jimmy.


Congrats to Nick Nurse for winning CotY.

Also, I've just had this show up on my feed and this guy just went off on the Lakers loss to the Blazers a few nights ago. It's just so funny:

If they can't go 16-0, they might as well try 15-1 lol

Nah, both Harden and Luka are in the first group. They both flop hard, which is why defenders hate them (hence the video of Luka being cursed). They go in the whole game, odds are you will foul out in the first half if you try to stop them like that.

Ik, but it surely didn't start there. It's something that you build up for a while, you don't lose it like that in an instant.

There's several videos of players complaining about his flopping. I recall someone getting a tech for it once but I do not remember who it was.

Wait nevermind that, it was his own coach following his act LOL
