    Who’s up for a good conspiracy theory on the blatant mind bottling reason the powers (mental midgets) that decide the defense awards don’t recognize what’s so obvious with Anthony Davis? And just demonstrated AGAIN on the world stage of the Olympic Games for the winning team. They literally freeze him out every season. Odds makers probably just adjust accordingly.

    Those are all good choices. No complaints.

    Change most annoying to most dirty and then we'd be set.

    I’d switch most overrated to Gobert. Him winning multiple DPOY is a joke.

    Old hater go again.:Laugh: This time it's both GSW and Lakers

    George Karl
    @CoachKarl22
    The number of national games for both LAL and GSW will be higher than their win totals

    Orlando deserves more games

    He's likely not gonna be wrong. And no, Orlando doesn't deserve more national games. No one gives a hoot about their players.

    If Murray will be playing like at Olympics for Canada it would be reality for Denver

    Stats never tell the entire story.
    KD left him because he knew there’s no winning with that guy.

    i loved young westbrook; he had a lot of kobe in him, imo. he just aged so poorly, and instead of accepting, he raged against it.

    man, if he'd just been cool with being a backup pg for us when it was clear things weren't working, he'd have been a hero, imo. we'd have re-signed him to an over-mle contract to continue in the role, too. instead, he insisted he was still the same dude from five years ago, and he kills every team he's on because of it. it takes away from what i believe is a very positive off-court presence, too. by all accounts, he's good to his teammates and to people in his community--why not just translate the humility that those things require into gracefully aging on the court? it could have been easy.

    If he was smart. “er” I guess …. giving him huge benefit of the doubt considering the absolutely stupid s*** he does on the court now.

    Actually, I think Russ will be a guy who'll get more love after his career ends. People hate him because he makes dumb decisions and is ineffective when on the floor. As time passes, people forget that and his stats and records are remembered more often, so he'll be more respected
