It's too late after so many years in the league. He's turning 30 soon

Knew that was coming lol.

Cant believe I missed that. Hurled at the rim like a shotput

I see why the Wolves dont win close games. Bloody hell, long jumper in isolation after long jumper in isolation.

All the Grizz had to do was dump it down to ZBO, pick and pop with Gasol and hit their FT's.

Apparently Byron was so frustrated and angry with the team that Kobe had to calm him down on the flight back to L.A. and tell him we were in almost all games and that we got to make the young guys develop.

Kobe babysitting the coach

Larry Nance is an amazing defender. He's going to be a contender for all defensive teams for years to come if he can get the minutes needed.

I want some Anthony Brown gametime though. Would be preferable over MWP or Bass

Find it ironic that since the George Karl and Boogie stuff reared it's ugly head again that the King's have won 3 in a row.

Boogie always plays better when he's having a feud with the coach

Rockets getting throttled by the Celtics

they're getting booed at home

Does Wesbrook have a sub-500 record without Durant?

Nah, i know last year they were above 500, it's not by much though.

Russ is nothing more than a gun slinger.. He could never win a ring as the #1 option

12-0

Raptors and their *bleep* free throws. Jesus. This was like watching an American football game in the 4th quarter. Every possession had a stop.

Porzingis is gonna be either the best or at the very least second best player from this draft class. Towns being the other.

Russel going second

Towns and Porzingis are Timmy and Dirk of the next generation. It'll be beautiful watching their matchups in the next few years.

Whiteside is a monster. Dominating on both ends.

His rim protection is the best I seen in quite a long time. The last guy I seen like Whiteside was Mutombo...he takes away everything. Scoring in the lane is just such a hassle when he is in there.

Either you throw the ball higher than you want to (has to clear the top of the square), you dunk over him or you go directly at his chest and get contact with him. Anything else, he is getting to do..lay ups, hooks, short jumpers..you just dont have a chance with this guy.

He madeTowns look about 6'6. Just dwarfs him.

Stephen A looks more stupid by the day for his nonsense.

Dani u pos, post more please

Need advice brah, what u reckon are the 3 'safest' bet for tomorrow

In reality Wolves are actually favorites against Orlando so that would be the safest bet.

Dont start relying on me man.

Id say the safest are Pacers win and Spurs win.

None of the others are even remotely safe.

Wolves should win, they looked good last night and when Rubio plays there are a pretty good team.

He doesn't need that to look stupid tbf, he does that naturally.

Kevin McHale fired.

Nazr Mohammed with some cool comments

The morning after you played Shaq, it always felt like you were in a fight. You were sore from head to toe. This probably won’t shock people, but Shaq was the most dominant big man I’ve ever faced. He’s in a class of his own. Shaq’s the player who kept me up at night wondering, “How the hell am I going to stop him?” Or, more realistically, slow him down, because nobody could stop him. Taking away his move meant not giving him a dunk, which of course is setting your defensive bar pretty low. It also meant sacrificing your body by trying to stop a 320+ pound man from getting to his sweet spot on the court. – via The Players' Tribune


Nazr Mohammed: Rasheed was an underappreciated talent. His touch from anywhere on the floor was just ridiculous. You couldn’t ask for more from an inside-out guy. He could knock down the three-point shot — with both hands — or take you into the post. I played with and against Sheed throughout my career, so I got a couple of different views of him. As an opponent, he was tough to guard because he had this deadly shot with a really high release. He also perfected what I call “The High Booty Back Down.” – via The Players' Tribune

Nazr Mohammed: Frustrating. That’s the word that comes to mind when I think about what it’s like to guard Dirk Nowitzki. When you looked at Dirk, even when he was younger, you saw that he wasn’t fast, he wasn’t athletic and he wasn’t strong. You don’t encounter many guys at this level who don’t check off at least one of those boxes. So it was easy to go into the match up feeling pretty good about your odds. But the qualities that make Dirk one of the best players in history aren’t visible immediately. It’s his combination of skill, touch and balance that’s had big men saying “Damn!” for nearly 20 years now. – via The Players' Tribune


Nazr Mohammed: Whenever a player comes into the NBA with hype, the rest of the league looks forward to seeing if the guy is for real. All those draft busts throughout the years were created by us. Players who come in with the most hype have to be ready for their opponents to come with their A-game, because everybody wants a piece of them. When Yao was coming into the NBA, everyone was licking their chops. I was excited to play against him. You get up to play guys like that. I wanted to see if he was as good as he was built up to be. Everything you read about him made him sound almost like a folk hero. Here you have one of the most fundamentally sound players in the world, and he comes in a 7-foot-6, 300-pound package. Come on! Yeah, right. The first time I sat down to watch him play a full game, the Rockets were facing Shaq’s Lakers on Christmas Day. Like a lot of people, I came away from that game thinking, “Damn, this guy can ball.” Guys his size generally just aren’t able to move like he could. There was a certain grace about him despite his size. – via The Players' Tribune

Nazr Mohammed: His trash talking was renowned and it certainly wasn’t a novelty act. It actually made him a much more difficult player to guard. KG could beat you with so many moves on the court, but his trash talking was a weapon too. It was like another move. His words, when combined with his skills, would cause opponents to overreact. They’d get so caught up in what he’d say that they’d lose focus on everything else going on around them. Players would eventually try to be more physical with him out of frustration and commit dumb fouls in the process. He’d face you up, hit a jump shot and verbally destroy you with his mastery of profane words in The King’s English. It actually gave him a tactical advantage in such an emotional game. His trash talk could make you a less effective player. It made you want to run through a screen set by him instead of around it.

Okafor is not in this discussion at all? Has he not been playing at a similar level (some would argue better) than Towns. Different skill sets but I think he is in the discussion at least.

He was very good during college (can gtfo of course for beating my team in the championship) but has raised his level for the NBA. Doing things I never saw him do in college.

Saw that coming after the Celtics game

Though while I don't think he's a great coach, he was running defensive sets and their players were just straight ignoring him

Wonder who they get
