Breakout star in the playoffs?..

[Malik Hairston]

I keep hearing John Wall, but I don't really believe in him, tbh, especially against the best defensive coach in the league..

I'll go with DeMonkey Jordan..he's overrated and very flawed, but he has a favourable matchup against the Warriors, and I think he'll be able to stay on the floor and play well against the Thunder..

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I think Crawford could, or someone like Lowry.. but I have a strange feeling Ginobili is going to break out.

[apalisoc_9]

Kawhi Leonard

[Clipper Nation]

The Warriors actually aren't a favorable matchup for DeContract, since Mark Jackass will undoubtedly run the Hack-a-DJ strategy into the ground, tbh.... personally, I expect that low-IQ albatross to disappear in yet another postseason and still get zero criticism :lol

That "strange feeling" is just the boner you get whenever Turnobili is mentioned :lol

You should let him fuck your girl, tbh..

Want to see if Terrence jones can repeat some of those regular season performances on the big stage. Dude made a name for himself and can only get better

[IrisHockey]

:lmao I'm convinced he's become more than just a dedicated fan.

It's creepy as fuck, almost like that guy years ago who threatened his family members over an this forum..

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Kawhi Leonard

Yea, Kawhi is probably a given.

[spurraider21]

Might be cheating to go with a guy that's been as great as Blake, but he still has doubters everywhere. I think with a good postseason to get him more exposure outside of just sportscenter he can cement his status as a legit #1 and the "lol he can only dunk" faggots will desappear

Maybe it's just an internet ego at work.. I hope the guy doesn't have Kawhi Leonard jerseys, dolls, posters lying in his living room... I mean, for years I thought Mono was the biggest prick on earth until I listened to his soft, friendly voice on the radio show..

Kawhi Leonard

turnoboli didnt get a breakout year cause of a ballhog on the team

what makes u think kl will breakout when enrique is still on the team?

only chance of that happenning is pop pulling him out or sitting on the bench in street clothes, cant afford to have him at home cause we all know what happen the last time he did that...

Should Harden be in this convo? He had a great WCF two years ago as the 6th man, but he completely fizzled in the Finals, and last season he was pretty damn awful in the clutch for Houston, including a lot of critical turnovers that prevented Houston from winning that series...

I think he's a legitimate star in the league but he's been underwhelming as the #1 guy in the playoffs... You could also make that argument for CP3 easily...

Of the lesser known, I like Bradley Beal a lot... haven't looked at his stats or anything like that, but I've seen him take over games for the Wiz... instant offense and such a smooth jumper. He can score from seemingly anywhere.

[scanry]

I'm going to go with Chris Paul. Mark Jackson will probably put Klay on him to bother him with length, but i get the feeling he might break out cause he's well rested unlike the previous 2 seasons when Vinny ran him to the ground. Blake should rest and go apeshit against the thunder tbh.

Harlem, he has flaws but i think Doc has taken it upon himself to infuse some brain cells into that lard tbh. Decontract has actually played some D this season and he's the number 1 rebounder in the league. :wow

Not counting Blake's improvement, he's actually the reason why the Clippers look a little more legit than before. That OKC/LAC series is going to be good tbh. If he can rattle the spear chucker and take him out, i like their chances.

Harden has been one of the clutchest players in the league this year, all that investing into his isos last year was worth something after all :lol

He's also just a hair behind KD for 4th qrtr scoring. At this point he has far more to lose than to gain. "Breakout" for him can be defined if he starts averaging 38-40ppg in the post season. Right now he can get a solid 28-33 anytime.

He's one of the great offensive players in the league, IMO... I still don't think he wants it as badly as, say, KD... he really needs to clean up his shit defensively, looks like he doesn't even care, tbh...

Well, KD is on a whole tier above him. I don't think Harden can ever be as good as KD offensively, who is one of the GOATs in that aspect (efficiency + production). Regarding his defense, I'm not sure what pass I can give him but I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with carrying such an offensive burden that he reserves his energy, because in the 4th Q he has more than shown to be a great defender. Hopefully we'll see that consistently throughout the POs.

[djohn2oo8]

Harden honestly has A LOT still to prove. And the playoffs are where he needs to do it now.

Nah, I'm not comparing players, just the "wanting it" aspect... I see KD on a mission... Sometimes I look at Harden and he plays pretty casual, even when the game is on the line. Not saying he doesn't want to win, I just don't see the same hunger that I see in other guys.... Dwight is kinda the same, IMO.

While its true Harden plays too casual at times, he always turns it on in the 4th quarter. He spends most of the first 3 getting his teammates involved. That's where he has grown the most and hopefully it continues into the playoffs

He's at where Durant was in 2012 tbh. Dude will probably turn it up next season imo. Now that Dwight is settled, i see them wining 60 games next season.

Looks like Durant is on a mission this season.

[monosylab1k]

Beal is ballin but he won't ever amount to more than a chucker for a non contender in his career. He will always be John Wall's kryptonite, a lesser Westbrook to Wall's Durant, if you will.

Beal is a more efficient player and less reckless. Plus his stroke is buttery smooth.

[monosylab1k]

He's playing terrific and has a bright future. I love Beal & Wall and really enjoy watching the Wizards. But in the end Beal is a chucker at heart. And chuckers rarely contribute significantly to title teams.

Maybe when he's a 30-something year old vet in a reduced role, but no time in the near future.

[ElNono]

I think Beal can play better... agree with Mono, sometimes his shot selection make him look like prime Monta, tbh...

Teague and Millsap deserve some consideration. Teague especially will fool folks into thinking he's a star if he continues this pace for the rest of the series.

If he stops shooting so many long twos he'll be a much better player, but Wittman is too dumb to point that out to him....

I thought of him over Lilard and Wall over Beal but those guys both have made all-star teams ... so for me, "break-out" is more like what PG did last year.
Yes Harden, aldridge, etc. are worthy players but to me if you are a perennial all-star or close not truly a breakout player because those guys are expected to "ball".

Against terrible defensive PGs like Augustine, yeah. Almost every decent PG that goes against the Bulls looks like a billion dollars.

Nene, Beal and Ariza were all arguably better than him in the Bulls series IMO..

Don't see how it's not Millsap right now. That dude is lighting it up so far. Teague's there as well. I guess it depends on how they do in a potential second-round matchup with the Wizards, but right now, I'd take Millsap. You don't lead a team to a huge upset and not deserve recognition.

C'mon it's the Washington Wizards. He gets a little credit just leading them to a series victory alongside Beal/Nene/Gortat. Firstly, though, I was semi-sarcastic.

I see your point man, but I just wanted to make me to. Bulls are good on D' except against PGs. Without Rose, the Bulls are just really flawed.

East is shitty too though. I think their series are good this year for the opposite reason the west is. West has strong lower seeds, east has weak lower seeds AND weak higher seeds. Imo the Grizzlies and Mavs would probably beat every east team in a series except Miami. :\

It's still the Wizards...who have won all but 3 playoff series in 30+ years!!!
