That fucking bulls loss to Houston has me enraged. I watched the condensed game on league pass this morning. They shot 47% from 3. I understood the previous loss to Indiana. Second night of a back to back, no Caruso or Vuc. The rockets loss is inexplicable. Such a pissed off way to start thanksgiving.

The BUCKS just swept their 3rd ever homestand of 5 or more games

And playing a murderers' row of the Lakers with only 3 top-75 all timers, OKC, Detroit and the Magic, twice

Seriously though peaking at 24.2 PPG for your career as the #1 and only option on a dogshit TWolves team is not that impressive, and 1-time DPOY Garnett vs 2-time DPOY Kawhi isn't going to blow me away with the idea that he's clearly a leap above defensively that he clearly isn't offensively

He certainly had longevity that Kawhi hasn't I suppose

Good shit lol. Giannis is about to get that Oreo money.

KG was a defensive terror, pioneered switchability before it was a concept he could legit defend 1-5 at times and was the anchor of an elite Boston D when he got decent pieces around him. also a valuable defensive big is always going to be more important than a valuable defensive wing, all other things being equal. Klay's D's is replaceable, Draymond's isn't.

but looking back on it you ain't wrong about his offense. during his decades long Minny peak he averaged 22 a game on 49%, only 29% from 3 (of which he did not take many), and only getting 5.5 free throws a game.

his passing was elite and maybe that could cover up a lot of ground, but his individual scoring is pretty meh compared to real elite offensive bigs like Dirk, Shaq, and Barkley.

we're talking about legends here. when i think of 2-way stalwarts its people like KG, Giannis, Hakeem, David Robinson, Duncan etc. We couldn't even categorize him the 2nd tier yet with guys like MJ, Kobe, Wade, Kawhi, or Pippen. Nor in the 3rd tier with guys like Chris Paul, Magic, Ewing, Lebron (who's prolly 1st tier when he feels like it), etc.

boiiiiiii i know you did not just throw Magic into the 3rd tier of two-way stars. 0 defensive team selections, part of a go-go Lakers attack that was middling defensively, and frequently exploited by quicker guards. had quick hands and his size made him a cinderblock in the post, but he wasn't above (or maybe even at) Jokic's level of decent, little above average, 60th-70th percentileish, nothing special.

damn I really thought he had more than that, but 2x steals leader gotta count for something??? lol

Allen Iverson was steals leader 3 seasons in a row and by his own admission he didn't play defense.

[Andalusian girls]

for a 5'11" guy that didn't practice or play defense truly AI achieved more than any other human on earth could have

Warriors play the Suns twice next week, the games are gonna be epic.

[Andalusian girls]

15 in a row babyyyyy (just don't look at the competition)

[KuroTsuki]

Yeah, Warriors/Suns should be fun as hell. Can't wait

Also, Lakers/Kings are in the middle of 3rd OT.

Falling to the coachless Kings with LeBron in a game where Westbrook gets a triple double is extremely funny. What a disaster that team is.

[Krandor]

The Lakers being a trainwreck is so fun since everyone but the Lakers org themselves saw this coming.

[kisada]

true

Bucks sign Boogie to a 1 year non-guaranteed deal. They've been playing without a center since opening night when Brook Lopez went down with a back injury.

[KuroTsuki]

Man, that 4th quarter in the Dubs/Clips game was fun lol.

Ref gives Curry a tech after Curry got in their face about a no call, he gets pissed and proceeds to blow it up including 3 straight 3s, officially making it a blowout.

Refs need to piss Curry off more often.

Ending of that run lol. Gives himself a tech
