Porzingis is going to be so great, they should start him at center imo. Melo was terrible, dude almost lost them the game lol. If he hit half his shots, game would have been over.

Thunder/TSC
I don't understand this Thunder team. They consistently fall behind by 10+ at some point & damn near every time they figure out a way to get back in it to make a game of it through defense & Russy dragging them offensively.

They shot 3-21 from 3, 14-27 from FT, lost Dipo in the 1st quarter, got down by 13 in the 3rd, put Kyle Singler on the floor for 7 minutes, & still won :heh:

The Suns treat Devin Booker like he's Bo Outlaw or some shyt.....just Barbosa & Bledsoe trying to be superstars.

It's too much iso-ball. Bledsoe puts up good stats but he doesn't make his teammates better. To me he is an undersized SG. Ulis needs to get more playing time.

This is true.Which is why any time Bledsoe or Knight starts "cooking", we end up losing.

Barbosa is just as bad.All 3 of them dudes only care about scoring.If they hit 2 buckets in a row, I get worried because

I know the tunnel vision will turn to blindness.You can forget about ball movement when that happens.

At this point, Booker's the most important asset, but his whole aura's not the same this year.

I can tell he doesn't really like playing with Bledsoe & Knight.They have him standing around like Andre Roberson

while they pretend to be Kevin Durant & Russel Westbrook.

Earl Watson is too puzzy to reel them back in.

He's on some love shyt with the vets.

PJ Tucker especially.I think PJ got Earl Watson punked out

Said it a few games into the season but man, if both the Bulls and the Knicks could somehow avoid the Cleveland side of the bracket and meet in the playoffs, healthy :whew:

Honestly, the Knicks don't look too bad at all. They certainly got the offensive fire power and great point guard play + some solid bench/hustle guys... but Carmelo and Noah are the two things that give me pause about them. Melo's tunnel vision with his shot selection and Noah still being a shell of himself that can only go for 20mins a game.

Once again, in a close game in the 4th quarter the Celtics can't score.

But let some of the idiots tell it, the offense is better off without Isaiah because ball movement. Nevermind that no one other than him can create their own shot

Of course the offense isnt better without Thomas but the defense is alot better.
