Literally have never heard of this guy - have we talked about him before
― 龜, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:25 (nine years ago) link
dont bother
― lag∞n, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:26 (nine years ago) link
matt was hyping him up and i traded mozgov for him on my fantasy team since mozgov was losing time to him.
― Spottie, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:26 (nine years ago) link
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
― Spottie, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:28 (nine years ago) link
never got up to speed after offseason knee surgery apparently not sure why
― lag∞n, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:28 (nine years ago) link
i don't have a real answer, but regression. never bought him as a superstar
― k3vin k., Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:28 (nine years ago) link
this is more than regression hes just not moving well out there, doesnt seem physically right

Flip is a good coach
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:43 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:45 (nine years ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:47 (nine years ago) link
Nurkic has only been playing the game for five years.
wow
― Clay, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:47 (nine years ago) link
when did embiid start, like 4 years ago right
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:48 (nine years ago) link
Mozgov having fun out there
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:49 (nine years ago) link
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
― Spottie, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:51 (nine years ago) link
derrick rose is probably the worst starting pg in the nba who isn't starting because of an injury
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:52 (nine years ago) link
another solid game from wiggins
― k3vin k., Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:54 (nine years ago) link
wiggins lights it up immediately after I call him out, probably an ilxor
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:55 (nine years ago) link
def
― Spottie, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:55 (nine years ago) link
it's granny dainger iirc
― Spottie, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:56 (nine years ago) link
i saw some stat from mid-season last year that JR smith shot 8% if he dribbled
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:56 (nine years ago) link
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

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
― k3vin k., Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:59 (nine years ago) link
idk just a gut feeling
def more likely now than a few days ago
― lag∞n, Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:01 (nine years ago) link
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
― k3vin k., Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:02 (nine years ago) link
yeah def getting comfortable feelings with that roster now
― Spottie, Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:02 (nine years ago) link
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
― Clay, Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:04 (nine years ago) link
That is crazy xxp
― 龜, Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:05 (nine years ago) link
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..
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:07 (nine years ago) link
well now it's clearly wiggins. tho we obv haven't seen embiid
― k3vin k., Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:09 (nine years ago) link
yeah lets let embiid play before we make this call, same w parker too tbh
― lag∞n, Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:09 (nine years ago) link
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
― k3vin k., Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:12 (nine years ago) link
idk guys used to come out of high school
― lag∞n, Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:13 (nine years ago) link
rookies usually just arent too good
but i mean rookies ALL suck now, it's weird
― k3vin k., Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:14 (nine years ago) link
aau argument is odd as players are so much more skilled than theyve ever been
― lag∞n, Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:15 (nine years ago) link
i remember lillard was great straight out of college but he was a 4 year player and has obv improved significantly since then
