This postseason, the Rockets have the No. 1 ranked offensive efficiency (111.6 points per 100 possessions) and No. 2 ranked defensive efficiency (103 points per 100 possessions).

The only other team that's top 5 on both ends is the Warriors (No. 1 on defense, No. 2 on offense). https:///PmqElhxQoj

Loool do you mean top 2 Center in the East? Cos he won't make top 2 in the West

Was about to agree with you then I realised there just aren't that many good centers in the league anymore. The league has truly evolved.

Better scorer as well! He's an offensive warhead and his coach is clueless on how to unleash, his only downside is his defense but even Embiid is low key overrated as a defender

Well the game has left them behind. Especially the ones who have refused to evolve eg DeAndre Jordan.

You have to have a lot more in your locker than just blocking and rebounding.

Anyway we still have a few guys doing ok. Capela. Towns.

Boogie Towns, those are the only two you can argue as being better than Embiid and those 3 are the only elite centers in the league now. You're right about Jokic's potential though. And imagine a few years ago many viewed Deandre as the best center in the league. SMH.

Definitely not a better scorer. Embiid has more in his Arsenal. Giving the choice, Most coaches would rather have Embiid as their No1 scoring option.
Embiid might be slightly overrated when compared to Rudy Gobert as a defender but He is still way better than Jokic.

Not getting caught up in the moment. He is Verstaile,Well rounded and incredibly efficient. It's ridiculous. Having Him and Steph in the same team is just unfair.

I would love to but He made the decision He best felt was right for Him. The pelicans could have sneaked a victory last night if the warriors had Barnes grin

in his place.

He'll be the difference maker vs Houston. The defensive plays Capela had vs Mitchell ain't happening vs durant who is an inch taller.

I don't blame the warriors for going after him, I blame him for even considering it to begin with. As much as I believe in empowering players to make the best decision for them you should have some pride and competitive spirit in you. That move was weak AF.

And yes, he will be the difference against Houston if the warriors are to win that series which seems more than likely now.

Curry and klay didn't even play up to standards last night (they were horrible) and look what they did to them. SMH.

I stand to be corrected but has thede been game(s) where all three (Curry, Klay and KD) played at their best together? I see people say this many times but truth is I haven't seen all 3 played at their best together.
2 of 3 or 1 of 3.

He wants every star to play with Bron; Boogie, DeAndre, PG, Harden....

But in the same breath criticises KD.

Not the same thing and if you can't see that, you can't understand a lot of things. It's not your fault. You're just not very smart. I'm sorry if you think that's an insult but at this point thats what I truly believe little man.

Yuuup. But only because the warriors added KD. If the warriors were as they were, led by curry. It'd be competitive but LeBron will beat that bum 9 times out of 10. The whole league would be balanced though.

Klay shot 5 of 13. Both curry and klay weren't great today. That's not sustainable.

He didn't join the Boston Celtics. Even if he did the celtics weren't a 73 win team with a reigning unanimous MVP. He tried to beat them. He didn't join them.

Like I always say, Durant could have gone home to Washington or gone to the spurs or any great team were he can earn a championship not have it handed to him. Did I mention he had Westbrook and he blew a 3-1 lead against them?

Like I said if you can't understand that, it's not your fault.

Have to admit I also thought the move was weak as f@#k too. Hell Naw was my first reaction when I heard about the move in the summer of 16. What most of us feared is actually coming to fruition now. Rather than moan however, I have learnt to appreciate them.

Exactly my point. Forget Klay for a sec who seems to have off nights on the regs now(on the offensive end at least as He is always switched on the defensive end). Curry was very supbar and they still blew away the Pels. Once Curry gets hits form, we might as well just handover the NBA title to GSW grin

Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 4:35pm On May 07, 2018*

As I see that lineup before going for my call, I know say that 1st quarter and 3rd quarter go be problem

Iguodala starting? Kerr, just small play ooo

so you have no problem with lebron joining the best players in his draft class to win a championship?

LeBron James choked in the 2011 NBA finals. Besides that, there really isn't any other wrinkle in his career. It's not loyalty, just bare facts.
