Of course if you are talking PG as in job function Kyrie does not crack top 10. I think people mean that is his position, so even though he is a terrible PG, he is very skilled at scoring and dribbling
Thanks, because I was making a list of PGs of the last 40years I would take ahead of Kyrie and brodaly the list is long.

Giannis and co are exploiting GSW only remaining weakness, lack of size on the inside. shocked

Blazers, it is time to blow this thing up because it isn't going anywhere. You are going to get enough picks and pieces to start all over when you trade Dame 31/ CJ 30/ Nurkic 27. The Grizzlies are not going anywhere for a very long time while the regular heavy weights will keep their spots in the playoffs. Delaying the inevitable is only going to make it painful when it happens.

They usually compensate for that through 3 pt shooting. But whenever it doesn't fall, or whenever their opponent matches them, it's going to be a struggle. Today they made 16, but Bucks made 18 in fewer attempts. There ain't no winning that.

I think it's high time steve kerr rest steph for a week or two. Something is definitely wrong with that man. This is his worse shooting stretch that I can remember

Even though SC is going through the worst shooting slump I have experienced from him in forever, SK has a role to play in it. He is rotating the player out of rhythm perhaps to help the supporting cast get into good shooting rhythms and to initiate Klay into the play. I don't think it has helped SC short term but it will definitely help the team long term to get Klay back. In addition, Draymond Green is more than essential to how we play and defend and he has been a huge miss. I personally feel SC has to stop playing offball especially when Draymond is out as nobody is quite as good in controlling the ball and seeing SC run around to look for openings to shoot is cringey. Just let the man shoot himself out of the slump. Meanwhile, I care more about the chemistry the team builds before crunch time. We never expected to be vying for top seed when the season begun and I don't want to get greedy with my expectations. No cause for alarm.

A lot of people are looking at Kyrie through the eyes of his time with Lebron, and those Warriors-Cavs playoffs heroics. If not for that rep, there is no way he is able to pull Durant to the Nets.

For now, everyone is still drinking the hype, especially analysts. Lets see how this years playoffs shakes out, because Kyrie has not lived up to his hype since he left cleveland.

Charlotte Hornets blew out the Bucks and then beat them again the other day. Do you think GSW are the same team without Draymond?

Lol that's not even a valid comparison, the suns are way better than the hornets. I'm not saying the suns would win the series but it's definitely not a sweep for GS.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 2:35am On Jan 15, 2022
Are you kidding me? Ofcourse the "they would barely get 1 game talk" was trolling. cheesy
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 2:41am On Jan 15, 2022
Matchup advantage is clearly still part of this game. Get Wiseman into the lineup as soon as possible. Don't want no matchup problems Besides this is very interesting, GSW giving the same treatment team sitting atop the Eastern Conference, after getting embarrassed by the Bucks cheesy grin

I feel Klay not being in the line up helped tbh. Because SC did not even play well again. I don't yet know what is wrong with him. I have my suspicions though.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 11:55am On Jan 15, 2022
And yet the Warriors blew out the Bulls without Draymond. But who would have thought Draymond would ever be professed as the saviour of the Warriors cheesy.

This Wiseman you dey always mention sef. Won't you rather have Looney guarding opposing bigs than skinny sophomore Wiseman who barely has 50 NBA games under his belt?

And talking about the Bulls. They're the Jazz of the eastern conference. We know people wey go struggle for that championship.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 12:13pm On Jan 15, 2022
Looney dey try. He's perhaps doing better than anyone expects of him. Unfortunately, he's around 6 ft 7. When elite big men show up i don't know if i can trust him with the task. However, even though the Rookie doesn't have much experience, perhaps he can stay with them lengthwise for some minutes. And don't worry we'll get him to bulk up.

Can we show J. Embiid some love? He definitely has to get some MVP talk with the way he has played over the last month or two.

I think the relative obscurity is good for his psyche. His confidence level has been something else since he returned from injury. Just looked to me like after the Simmons debacle, everyone has left 76ers and Embiid off the talking points list. From his first game back, he has looked scary to me
