if they put all the western conference players in a draft pool before this year’s playoffs and you got first pick who would you choose

assuming perfect health lebron, unfortunately perfect health lebron might not be a thing anymore so it's close between steph and jokic with luka a half tier below
― mens rea activist (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 9 November 2021 17:49 (two years ago) link
dont think id take lebron anymore healthy or not
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 November 2021 17:51 (two years ago) link
if we are considering health its def a plus in jokics column
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 November 2021 17:52 (two years ago) link
for the purpose of this exercise assume all players are able to play but not necessarily at “full health” or whatever. like kawhi is ready to play but he is coming off a torn ACL with little training etc
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 November 2021 17:53 (two years ago) link
i think i strike luka until he shows he can modulate his play and not lose steam by ends of games also he had that weird thing where he couldn’t make free throwsi might take steph honestly. kawhi would be tempting based on what we saw last year. jokic would be a tick below them for me. but it’s really hard to say

steph is historically a playoff under performer, luka has conditioning issues tends to fade at the end of big games, its jokic i think its jokic
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 November 2021 17:56 (two years ago) link
kawhi im striking cause of the injury but i dont think id take him anyway

a 7 ft 280 guy running and throwing his entire body weight... had to hurt
ftr markieff is listed as a 6 ft 9 and 245 guy. he was running and throwing his entire body weight into jokic, while leading with his elbow to the ribs, which knocked 280 lb. jokic sideways a couple of feet. that had to hurt, too.

"This is Penny Sarver," one message began. "I know a lot of bridges were burned between you and Robert and you are very bitter. I want to remind you that real lives are at stake here."Later, the message added, "Please put your hatred aside and realize the hurt you are causing by spreading lies and fabrications. Is your time in the spotlight that important? If something happens to one of my children, I will hold you and Earl Watson personally responsible. Think about your own child for a second and imagine the tables turned."
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 November 2021 22:40 (two years ago) link
A second former employee received a message that began, "I am so terribly saddened that you would say such untrue things about my husband. Your interpretation of what happened is so far from the truth. You are crushing my families (sic) lives. Thanks for that."A third former employee said their message began, "You are such a liar. In your trying to destroy my husband with (your) lies -- you have destroyed my family and children."

I suspect Neil Olshey is feeling mildly grateful rn to Markieff Morris, Nikola Jokic and Penny Sarver for completely deflecting the attention of nba fans and the sports press away from him.

Sixers are bringing Curry and Green off the bench I guess, which means none of their starters are in the starting lineup.
― Hannibal Lecture (PBKR), Wednesday, 10 November 2021 00:37 (two years ago) link
Korkmaz and Niang have been solid lately. Milton is off the IR and making shots. Good depth.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 10 November 2021 00:43 (two years ago) link
Niang's been great and they've been shooting well as a team from 3 which I think has been covering up a lot of issues.
― Hannibal Lecture (PBKR), Wednesday, 10 November 2021 00:46 (two years ago) link
Maxey is hooping 4 sure.
Niang never misses a shot when I watch him

wild that the warriors are 9-1 while steph "curry" is well below his usual numbers. also the #1 defense despite starting wiggins

wiggins is a solid defender now, and stephs defense has never been better either. draymond is as active as ive ever seen him. things are clicking at the moment but their schedules been pretty easy. whooping bad/mediocre teams is a good thing tho.
