thadude Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 The league doing us a favor and having us face every 50+win team in the first month of the season. The Jets and Knicks will both start out 0-16! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he did trade a #1 overall for Kevin Love and drafted Shabazz Napier so let's hold the horses. Good trade for the Cavs. Kyrie is overrated like crazy. Not sure what Ainge was thinking.

SMC Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Great trade for the Cavs and they can still flip the Nets No. 1 at the trade deadline if necessary. People lauding the Celts, but they just traded a guy who played for them the day after his sister was killed. As someone said on Twitter, no one should complain about loyalty ever again in the NBA. I disagree with the notion that Kyrie is overrated. But the problem is that in 2 years he's gone and they just gave up a top-3 pick for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you shocked because you thought the trade would have been fair without the pick? Or were you shocked that they added the Bkn pick to the package instead of some other pick(s) or player(s)? As a C's fan I would have preferred a top-3 or at least a top-1 protection on the pick. But objectively speaking, I think it was a rare deal that was fair value for both sides and should leave both fan bases without much to complain about.

Just unexpected with all these teams protecting picks lately. Maybe Top 1, with the LAL/SAC pick instead if BRK18 isn't conveyed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyrie plays no defense and has like a .380 winning percentage in games without Lebron James. The Celtics are still the second best team in the East after Cleveland and got the best player in the draft in Tatum but Irving isn't this incredible PG the media makes him out to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philc1 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 With the Pacers and Bulls both blowing it up and rebuilding the knicks actually have a legitimate shot of making the playoffs this year. A conventional offense will help KP the only thing is Hornacek needs to setup the rotation so Melo and KP are on the floor as little time as possible together.

There were a lot of good prospects drafted this year who can produce because of the situation they're in. As for Ntilikina, the media keeps overlooking the fact that he's taller, longer and younger than Smith and has been playing against grown ass men for the last couple of years. There's a smoothness to his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same media which bashed the Porzingis pick to high heavens is now bashing the Ntilikina pick before he even plays in a preseason game.

SMC Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 BTW, I've been catching Eurobasket online with the live stream and Latvia is a fun team to watch. They're a good underdog story. They're currently leading Turkey in their Group finale (both teams are making it to knockout round), but this is a big game because the loser faces Spain in the 1st round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
