Yes, this is my Top 30 list for 2017-18. No, I do not “hate” any player. Turns out, defense actually matters in the NBA. I stand by it. pic.twitter.com/XWECJ6TEaS

sorry double image post

pretty good list im still not convinced klay is significantly better than bradley beal though

we need to break up the warriors to find out how good they really are

its for science

sure thing, just gotta wait a couple few years

id put russ above cp3 at this point

not a chance

solid list, agree klay is too high

i also don't really think lebron is #1 but that's so widely believed at this point there's no use arguing. he's in the top 5 tho

imo that top 4 is pretty interchangeable

lebron is #1 during the 3-5 games per year where he plays his hardest

fair

draymond is better than butler and wall tho imo, i think i'd still take towns over jokic

i also don't think blake is top 20 good anymore, and lowry prob just had a career year

lebron is #1 during the 3-5 games per year where he plays his hardest

durant was the best player in that series imo. lebron had the same problem he's had for the past few years. great all around play but a ton of turnovers. turnovers matter!

feel like giannis is overrated tho ppls excitement abt is potential is warranted

also feel if u ran some sims (simulations) where u swapped bron and kds teams bron wld play better overall

idk, KD's been the better player imo stretching back to his MVP year

thats false as kd was injured for most of a season and didnt play up to his standard for much of the next

i mean the reason he didn't contend for MVP this year was purely due to his missed time

imo the conventional wisdom that bron is still who you want for a game or a series or a playoffs is correct tho eventually he will retire and die prob

it was also correct that he didnt deserve the mvp

kd def wldve been in the mix for mvp if he wasnt injured

if we're going to ding KD for missing time due to injury we at the very least have to take lebron's last 3 regular seasons where he wasn't trying at face value

i argued hard on this board for KD as the best all around player in that series and MVP, nonetheless i think the absolute peak performance lebron can or chooses to access 3-5 times per year is still the best in the NBA

the giannis ranking might be a place or two to high but in terms of two way impact i don't think it's a stretch to say he's top 10

j0rdan really hammering home these lebron 3-5 jokes

otm tho

i mean this doesn't really matter tho. bron played about as well as he could have in the finals and KD outplayed him.

turnovers and defense matter!!

one word: context, think abt it

lol that's an interesting way of waving away literally all the evidence in favor of your gut feeling that bron is just better

um its called understanding basketball

sometime i get poxyed when im trying to post tweets on here

anyway jordan plz enjoy this nice big boy

Rudy gay to spurs, 2 and 17

Honestly, it's not a bad move for the money. Backing up kawhi, makes their bench with patty (and manu?) more powerful offensively

id image theyre thinking of playing a bunch of smallball w kawhi and rudy together

p great deal either way

Big upgrade from kyle anderson

warriors signing nick young puts them past the 'what could possibly go wrong' line which means of course everything will go wrong next season imo

theyre due, what will prob happen is steph will retire to play cricket

The thing w gay is... he tore his Achilles and no ones seen him play since so he may actually be worse than slo mo

If the dubs retain McGee as well then the karma ball gods may indeed frown upon us

rudy gay is, for me, basically an avatar of yesterday's nba

huh didnt realize that not up on rudy gay news xp

Or, if the documentary rookie of the year teaches us anything, it's that freak injuries often lead to extraordinary athletic improvement
