This OKC team can cause problems if they ever get their offense in order. It's a pity such fantastic defense is going to waste

SmooshCHN:
Is that Mirotic and Portis holding hands?? Is it this season?? The violent really took it by force on this one.

SalamRushdie:
I will make sure i drive down to ketu this weekend even though i dont know anyone there and I will expose this ur 22 hours lies

SalamRushdie:
You are a big liar ...i know yoe work for a fashola media team paid to say lies ...Nigeria is currently wheeling less that 3000 MW yet you want us to believe you area Ketu Ikosi has 20 hours a day , its either you are liar or or you dont know how to count hours..on sunday i spent tje whole day at Ogudu GRA at wife to be parents house and they didnt have electricity for most of the time I was there and that place is not far from Ketu Ikosi ...you can lie sha

VivaLaByke:
He's in Boston..with Kyrie.

There's literally zero pressure on him...He could be dropping one point per game and no one would give a shït.

Same with Jordan Bell.

I don't rate either of them.

I pity folks like Fox,Markkanen and Dennis SJ.....with their talents wasting on trash ass franchises.

TooMuchSauce:
;DYou play too much, haba now. Lonzo has mad potentials though; Jason Kidd had a similarly tumultuous start in his rookie campaign - so that's an easy excuse for the Lakers faithfuls.

VivaLaByke:
James pulls back,drives again....Kicks it out to Korver...corner 3......can't get it to fall...rebound Durant.
Durant for 3.....It's goooooood...Kevin Durant from downtooooowwwwwnnnn. .

VivaLaByke:
I only said,I'm not going to add Tatum to the list of players currently playing better than Lonzo because of the good conditions he found himself in with the franchise that drafted him.

The DeAaron Fox that is getting outplayed by a midget named Frank Mason III

Dennis Smith Jr is currently not a better overall basketball player than Lonzo Ball....

The only thing he is currently better than Lonzo at is shooting.

Lonzo is the better Playmaker.

Lonzo is the better Rebounder.

Lonzo is the better Defender.

Lonzo's BasketBall IQ surpasses his a million times over...LOOOOOLLL...Try again.

Skywalker5:
What of Ben Simmons?

VivaLaByke:
First year PG my black ass.

The only rookies playing better than Lonzo from the 2017 draft are Kyle Kuzma,Donovan Mitchell and Lauri Markkanen....and Markkanen is even debatable.

I would have added Tatum,but nah...he has the best conditions out of all rookies.

So I don't know which ghosts you have been watching that make up the 7rookies ahead of Zo.

8.6points per game.

He did not play the fourth quarter yesterday because Jordan Clarkson was hootttt and it made sense to allow him finish the game so we could get the W.

Worry about your franchise getting up to 25wins this season.

VivaLaByke:
So after the initial gra gra.

Ben Simmons is nothing but a white Shaun Livingston.

Roland17:
Kawahi is a special kind of player and you are right, his minutes would be heavily restricted by Pop. I hope he does not relapse and can remain healthy for the rest of the season.

Roland17:
Dem no see another game for am to return abi? Na against Celtics dem come schedule the return.

rotimi9:
dont think so bro,harden be leading the league in scoring and assists with a way better record.early but right now harden is the front runner for mvp

UlrikVandram:
Oladipo

UlrikVandram:
Yeah, if the rockets can keep up!

osazsky:
yes 3 more to go and man u are out of d champions league, impossibility is noting common CSKA we can do this together, besel wining at benfica hhhnmmmm intersting

Eruditor:
I am surprised you see 65wins in them (without him?). I am even praying GSW makes 67wins because I don't see it. They coast so much these days.

Eruditor:
Nobody can touch Kawhi's D but if D was the decider in MVP races, Russell would not have won it last year. I saw the Giannis talk as hype; he will grow into his own but he should know that A Davis, Karl Anthony will have a say in the near future.

Then again, I don't think Spurs would have had a better regular season than Rockets. Kawhi can give them an extra 3 wins considering the Ls they have had. But some of those same games they lost with him (OKC for e.g) - Just like Harden (Rockets beat GSW first regular season game last year 132-127).

As for CP3s inclusion you are right; but then Rockets had that patch of Ws where they won without him. I think he adds only only max 10 more wins to their last season's of 55.

Actually GSW have the best defensive efficiency and points differential. We are on 283 to Rockets 250 but they have 3 games to make that up easily. In the same way, they can win those games by 10 each and still be 3 behind. Or even worse, can lose one of those games and have only 1 game on us.

I am actually not making my case for GSW. On current form, the deadliest teams should be Rockets at 1, and Celts at 2. For the very fact that they too have played many teams people thought would beat them yet they won. Recall, they lost by 3 or 1 against Cavs in game 1 of the regular season - at Cavs ground after having lost Hayward on the same day.

Eruditor:
While I agree Kawhi would have been up there, I disagree that he would have outperformed James Harden. James has been making a case since 2014/15 it just makes sense his team is blowing teams off the park - and he is a major contributor to that fact.

Will ITs presence reduce Bron's number? It is supposed to, but then everyone said so when the trades were being made - including after Kyrie left. The consensus was, that he was on his way out to LA and would only push himself in the playoffs. Time has proven that fractionally untrue.

Are the Cavs the second deadliest team in the world right now? Highly contested considering the teams they are beating are being pummeled by others as well. Pistons, Hawks, Bulls are ninnies no offense to them. Philly just lost a home game to Phoenix. Wizards got blitzed by Denver Nuggets. These teams are playing Cavs at opposite sides of the form sheet. I can't make a case for them.

I definitely agree that Rockets are the deadliest team though. But then, they are using little rotations and playing their star players to a halt. The regular season is a marathon.

Fun fact; number of games with 130 points and above this season? Nearest contenders Rockets have (2). Rest of NBA together ( I think 2 too - need to check) GSW have (5). And this is supposed to be a bad season.

UlrikVandram:
This bulls team is doodie.
