Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

HOLY SHT JENNINGS

and by jennings i mean KCP lol

Wow the nets are pitiful

pistons good job of making this almost a game vs atl

how is that a jump ball call to start idek

I miss JR Rider

cmon pls tie this

Might watch nug Kings - wanna see Demarcus dominate this weak ass Denver front line

more like you wanna see nurkic dominate boogie!

What is that

http://upsidemotor.com/2015/01/08/denver-nuggets-10-things-to-like-about-jusuf-nurkic/

Literally have never heard of this guy - have we talked about him before

dont bother

matt was hyping him up and i traded mozgov for him on my fantasy team since mozgov was losing time to him.

that was the highlight

look at their depth chart. they're gonna be the next 2011 nuggets in a year or two

I kinda forgot that they are wrecked w injuries and they have young dudes I like but man..they're on pace to win 12 games. 40 in the west would be a monster jump, the only way I see that is if wiggins jumps a level a year early and is like an MVP candidate. They'll have a good pick too but I'm not buying a shocking improvement next year, main reason- head coach: flip saunders

anyone know whats going on w joakim? he sucks this year

never got up to speed after offseason knee surgery apparently not sure why

i don't have a real answer, but regression. never bought him as a superstar

this is more than regression hes just not moving well out there, doesnt seem physically right

Flip is a good coach

one interesting thing about the wolves is what exactly they'll use that pick on, since they have two pretty good centers already. Maybe take Porzingis and hope it works.

prob more like 35 wins wld get it done fwiw re wolves-celtics draft pick, roughly the pace brooklyn/denver/sacto are on this year

Nurkic has only been playing the game for five years.

wow

when did embiid start, like 4 years ago right

Mozgov having fun out there

re noah yeah goon otm maybe his knee is taking a while. regression would be fine if it was minimal but he has like cut his numbers in half

derrick rose is probably the worst starting pg in the nba who isn't starting because of an injury

another solid game from wiggins

wiggins lights it up immediately after I call him out, probably an ilxor

def

it's granny dainger iirc

i saw some stat from mid-season last year that JR smith shot 8% if he dribbled

Flip is a good coach

It will take more than "good" to get the wolves to 40 wins next season.

mozgov drawing fouls on bogut like clockwork, can't contain him

35 wins xp

moz-god

i took a minute at work today to take in all of the cavs' recent moves, and i think they're coming out of the east now

idk just a gut feeling

def more likely now than a few days ago

i mean, the wizards are the wizards. the hawks are the hawks. the raptors are the raptors. i think the bulls and cavs are gonna be the best teams at the end of the season

yeah def getting comfortable feelings with that roster now

i was gonna bump the nba opo thread to opo 2014 draftee but it seems like it's pretty much undeniably wiggins after the last couple of weeks unless embiid becomes hakeem

That is crazy xxp

bulls still have a higher ceiling imo cause of defense but theyre not really there either, atl looking pretty strong have no problem seeing them especially if the more talented teams cant quite put it together

i mean, if his foot works then it looks like that will be what happens but..

well now it's clearly wiggins. tho we obv haven't seen embiid

yeah lets let embiid play before we make this call, same w parker too tbh

pretty funny to think about a year ago people were talking about there being SEVERAL franchise players in that draft tho, lol

altho tbf it's hard to judge after just half a season. rookies are becoming less and less impactful in today's NBA. someone on ESPN (i think it was thorpe) hypothesized that AAU had turned into a glorified pickup circuit, and with the one and done rule, college doesn't really teach guys NBA skills, so the learning curve is steeper these days

idk guys used to come out of high school
