Heat look good - Pelicans look lost and uninspired so far

he was at his best in 2013/2014 and 2016/2017 seasons, but you can't win with him as your best player and scrub teammates... at least not in the nba.


he thrives in that ginobili role, where he can dominate the 2nd units. super skilled and smart player, too bad that he missed the finals

lmfao the latest Pixar movie slandering the Knicks

I don't know why people are on Brandon Ingram's jock. He's not a winner. There are no winners on the Pel's roster, maybe Stephen Adams, but the rest are junk stats guys.

Salty that Poop picked DeFrozen over BI

He's better than any of the young talent on the spurs right now by a long margin.

Lol, you serious?

Easily. It's not even a debate tbh.

Ask any unbiased fan from other teams on the forum, most of them would pick BI over any of the young players on the spurs.

Not a winner He's carrying the Pelicans right now and he's the main reason their games are even compe ive.

Lol. Butler's out and Ingram is bricking shots and just threw the ball away for a fast break. GTFO out with these soft takes, bro.

[Bynumite]

But there's only so much BI can do when the Pels starting backcourt shoots 4-18

Lonzo is the bust of all busts Thankfully, Magic's tenure as the Lakers GM wasn't any longer

[phxspurfan]

Wiggins is such a net negative out there on any team he plays on

Ya boy couldn't even impact the game when Butler goes down. What a -up.

Sorry that Poop put his personal vendetta against the Lakers ahead of the interests of the spurs organization.

[Mr. Body]

The league clearly thinks the Warriors are a marquee team, hence putting them on Christmas Day, but they're not. I'm not sure they're a playoff team.

[phxspurfan]

Warriors without Curry on the floor may be the worst team in the NBA


Can't wait for Spurs to play them. We're gonna blow them out. Send like 5 bodies at Curry and who cares how many step back 3s Wiggins puts up for bricks.

Is anyone enjoying to watch Giannis playing basketball? He's unwatchable for me personally

Why? I think he is great and as he keeps developing game watch out league. Also not a diva. Go Bucks and him!

[D-Wade]

Lol no more showboating after 3s and behind the back passes in the finals for Curry now.

[i'm_still_beta]

He can't shoot, has no post game, lacks great passing skills. Just bull-rushing his way to the basket. Often travels but refs allow it

[Mr. Body]

I'm appreciating Curry as a complete player more than ever. Guy is really good. Rest of his team is terrible. Why they traded for Wiggins is beyond me, plus Oubre. No one on the roster moves the needle in the right direction, although Wiseman looks like a nice pick.

It's amazing what the Spurs did with three #29 picks and the Warriors have no young players of note.

As for Milwaukee, who is their number 2 guy? Right now it's Middleton, but I don't think he's strong enough for that role.

[paperboy77]

Looking good for SA. GSW look really bad. I thought Kerr was an all timer?

[ducks]

Curry needs to shot better
Gs be lucky to score 100 points

I think Middleton is a great 2. The big question is always whether or not Greek freak be effective in the playoffs.

[Bynumite]

I'm reserving judgement on this Warriors team until Draymond returns.
