NSFW: LANGUAGE Things going well in Miami. Wonder what Butler did. Elsewhere... the Grizz are really good.
their guy is the real COY two years running and nobody talks about it at all. instead, we get book-length praise of ty lue for falling behind in games and series and then winning half of them.
damn, i didn't realize the suns are 60-14. that's pretty crazy those 3-peat lakers teams always seemed to lose against the crappiest teams or else kobe would be on that list multiple times
eh, note the increasing frequency with time. the counting stats aren't the same. if you think booker's in the zip code of those names (or harden, for that matter), i've got a bridge to sell you.
lol missed that. the chart rewards longevity as much as shooting. honestly, trae young being on it is probably the most shocking thing. though i guess that's really the "logo" shot, which wasn't taken by anyone for any reason until the last three or four years.
My All NBA picks 1st team Jokic, Embiid, Giannis, Luka and Booker 2nd team Towns, Derozan, Tatum, Trae CP3 3rd team Gobert, Lebron, Jaylen Brown, Curry and Ja Honorable mentions DeJounte Murray, Donovan Mitchell, KD, Bam Adebayo, Zach Lavine and Harden
ja on first team over booker. booker on second team over trae. i can't put gobert on all-nba teams anymore, and i'd have his teammate over him, too. i put kd over jaylen brown, too. but mostly i agree.
the bunching in the top 4 is very interesting. have to imagine everyone's going to try to avoid bkn in the first round--will there be tanking for 3rd/4th? boston in the top 6 was expected prior to the season, right? but not the 1 seed. toronto is definitely surprising to me, as is cleveland, even with their relative swoon. milwaukee is quietly in decent position to defend their title.
Remember when few months ago we were all laughing at C Bags? They were losing left and right... good times
yeah, even more frustrating that they did it by committing to defense while we engaged in an active war against the concept of defending.
Even when watching them, I can't wrap my head around how they're THIS good. Pulling for them to come out of the West and then anyone but Philly in the East. Would like to see the Bulls but don't see them getting by the 6ers, Nets, Cs or Bucks.
