Why would he? as good as AD is defensively in the interior hes barbecue chicken for someone like kawhi. Hes like a fish out of water against an elite wing.
Smh. You think this is video game, where Kawhi has some kind of super powers.

Hornets Grizzlies Mavericks Spurs Bulls Heat Raptors Suns Warriors Kings Hawks Thunder x2 Grizzlies Spurs Pelicans Wizards Mavericks.

The lakers next string of fixtures look very favorable before they have to face the nuggets, jazz (most likely firing on all cylinders this time around) and trailblazers. Perfect opportunity for them to blend and gain some momentum.
We should be 18-1 by the time we face the Mavs for the second time smiley

Traes shooting is looking curryesque and hes an elite facilitator. I said he can be a better player, not necessarily more accomplished. He most likely won't play with 3 other all stars.

If you want heaven to fall on this thread just say something remotely negative about Steph. I do get why his fans are sensitive though.
his shooting is looking curryesque? Lmao. After one match? Funny. Have u seen his career shooting percentages? 42.0 from the field and 32.9 from the 3. Is that curryesque to you? Curry never shot that low...never! Even in college. He can be a better player? How pls?

LOL. I admire how passionate you curry fans are.

If you had followed his career early on, Trae Youngs comparison straight from college has always been steph curry because of his range and off the dribble shooting but he struggled shooting in the NBA so far, if you were a more careful reader you'd notice how i mentioned the consistency of his shooting as a condition. If you understood english a bit more, you'd understand that esque doesnt mean exactly the same, just a semblance between them. Again, just because you see currys name mentioned doesnt mean you have to blow your top over it.

You dont need superpowers to be able to take advantage of a big on the perimeter. And Kawhi is elite.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:26pm On Oct 26, 2019
Off season ideas for the Cavs.

Sign Paul George.

Trade Love for Kemba.

Draft Mikal Bridges or Trae Young with the Brooklyn pick. (Both great shooters but preferably Bridges, I don't buy the whole trae is the next curry BS).

Develop ante Zizic if TT keeps playing like trash.

Line up: PG Kemba SG Bridges SF The King PF Paul George C TT


This is a very realistic scenario that will make the Cavs overwhelming favourites in the East again. Hopefully Koby can pull off something like this regardless of what happens in the finals.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:54pm On Oct 26, 2019
In addition to Danny Green who has just been on another planet so far, Troy Daniels showed signs of promise in pre season and bounced back yesterday after a bad showing against the clippers like he promised. Quin Cook I will give the benefit of the doubt because he didn't get a full pre season. KCP should just never play unless the lakers are down to bare bones and have no one else to play. At this point I'd much rather G leaguer and jordan poole tormentor Zach Norvell be a part of the rotation than KCP. Hes been horrible for three years straight now. Maybe we can trade him for iggy if the grizzlies dont cut him.

Trae Young at it again.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 3:15am On Oct 27, 2019
Maybe you shouldn't mention a player in his second year in the same conversation with a player with a glowy body of work, in the person of Curry. Trae already has his work cut out. He might as well try to outdo another player of his class in the name of Doncic. Don't even bring him into the top 5 point guard category. Let's see what he does over 82 games in wins and performance.

Lol. Sorry i speculated about the ceiling of a young players potential. No one has ever done that before.

The suns of all teams derail the clippers hype train without Ayton. Monty Williams seems to be the real deal, might actually get this team into the playoffs.

Can we now say that this Clippers defense is grossly overrated? I mean, how on earth do they concede 130 points to the Suns?

Or maybe it's just one game and we should look at it in isolation.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 9:28am On Oct 27, 2019
Unless I am not getting your point, no one has ever done what before? No one has ever had such a ceiling? Does potential count as doing? You might want to think of the kind of phrases/ words you put together to make your point. His potential could put him in the conversation of top 5 point guard in the future(your perspective) or even a top 5 player for the best case scenario. However your argument so far puts him up as a top 5 point guard amongst PGs like dame, Kyrie and co, you even went as far as stipulating that Stephen curry is no longer himself. How can u come to such a conclusion after 1 game? Na so you go go do wey the guy go drop 50. Trae's potential does not describe his now. And as i said he still has to outperform Doncic , and actually get ATL to the playoffs. So get out of here with your basket argument. grin

Common, Lakers loss to them does not mean the rest of the season plus post season will take the same shape. It just makes some of us feel good seeing your ass get whooped by your competitor in CAL. grin

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:05pm On Oct 27, 2019
I'm responsible for what i type, not what you understand. I can't be expected to teach people how to read as well.


I said Trae young has the potential to be better than Steph Curry if he can maintain his shooting form.


I then said Trae young will put himself in the discussion as one of the best PGs in the league this year. I dont know what is wrong with any of that or where he is getting these stories from or even what point hes trying to make. A grown man getting in his feelings just because i mentioned Steph Curry? Embarrassing!

What's good for the goose? I just gave them a taste of their own medicine but they can't take it and the funny thing is they can't see the parallels or the motive behind it. I was actually about to speculate yesterday that Kawhi Leonard is washed for the same reason.

Celebrating the clippers beating the lakers as if they didnt do allstar numbers on them. Shameful thing is he called the clippers the lakers neighbors in CAL, Last time i checked the warriors are also in California, how can a warriors fan not know that? Its funny how warriors fans have gone from chest beating to trying to troll other teams when their team is a pitiful joke.
