Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

This Harden and Paul combo might be better than expected

Im so happy I can root for Kyrie without Bron killing the vibe .

That last 2 he dropped was pure

 

[Lakerman0834]

wonder why people aint making bust threads for the supposed the best pg in the draft DSJ after these past 2 games

 

[William F. Russell]

The Celtics really look like they got it right by selecting Tatum and getting an additional top quality asset for allowing the 76ers to select Fultz.

But let the coli experts tell it, Tatum is overrated and one-dimensional while Fultz has shown so much promise already this season

 

[William F. Russell]

I didn't know beating Atlanta was a big deal

It's not...Kawhi can't get MVP love so I don't see why Kyrie does. 4-16 vs. Warriors and his team still wins b/c of elite team defense and coaching.

15 straight wins...in his first season with a new team...without his all-star co-anchor for the season...

Its so frustrating watching the lakers when you think about how the team would look if you were the GM the last 4 years .
2014 hated Randle. Wanted to trade the pick or draft Lavine.
2015 wasnt mad at D'angelo pick but wanted KP because of upside
2016 kept hearing Jaylen was out shooting Ingram in every workout plus he's Ga boy. Wanted Jaylen
2017 I liked Lonzo but wanted Jackson.

So instead of a Lavine, Josh, Jaylen, KP core we got Lonzo, 2017 Cap Space, Ingram, and Randle

Seeing Jaylen balling out like this just made me think of what could've been

That line up out west ...I'll pass. I still feel like keeping DLO fixes alot of the problems we have with ZO not being aggressive.

Zo/D/BI/Kuz is a decent building point. KCP can not create his own shot.

We gotta flip Randle by trade deadline.

You wanted KP over Russell at that time period?

Ingram will be better than Jaylen. Josh Jackson sucks

How does this make him the most valuable player

Not hating on Ky but it be the same nikkas that hate on D-Rose and Nash’s MVPs

 

[William F. Russell]

How does this make him the most valuable player

However you want to slice it, he's in the discussion for MVP.

If you want to use the traditional MVP criterion, he's the best player (go-to scorer/closer, NBA champ, perennial all-star) on the best team (15-2 record on a 15-game winning streak).

If you want to use a more holistic criterion, see my previous post.

 

[Osmosis]

Kyrie's numbers are pretty unremarkable and some would argue he isn't even the most valuable player on his team but let the coli tell it he's the league MVP

I liked D'Angelo. Wasnt mad at that pick at all. But I loved the potential of KP and wanted the Lakers to swing for the fences

I'm sold on this euro breh. This dude is looking like an athletic Dirk

You got me. I just don't want fear to dictate the lakers drafting. I basically just want the Lakers to pick whoever has the highest potential tbh. The little I've seen of the dude has beenworthy. And quite frankly I don't want okafor. I feel like he's the safe pick but I just don't think he has the potential of the others.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Ingram will be better than Jaylen. Josh Jackson sucks

I dont see it. And he hasnt looked good. Lol im not saying i would've made all the best picks. Tatum so far is looking like a much better player than Josh but at the time I definitely wouldve picked Josh. I stan JJ

Thats a better core than we have right now fam. Without a doubt. Id trade our whole core we got for Kristaps tbh. Every single dude
