Gorgui Dieng had 22 & 21 tonight...

Mr. Love isn't going to like him cutting in on his boards, lol

I think that's 3 or 4 straight double-doubles for him.

So is MCW still rookie of the year considering how terrible his team has been?

Lots of times the team who has the ROY is a pretty bad team, not usually Philly bad, but it's often not a playoff team.

I thought when that Detroit signed Smith to that huge deal they would be trading Monroe for sure. But they didn't for whatever reason. And now they're stuck with a pretty bad roster. The team they have right now is terribly put together and Smith isn't their only problem. So even if they find a way to move Smith or Monroe they're still gonna have plenty of problems. I also really don't like the idea of Jennings being the future pg. They should've drafted Trey Burke IMO.

Isn't Monroe a restricted free agent?

OKC gonna beat Raptors today which shouldn't be surprise, but despite that, it's Raptors 3rd seed to lose. 11 of their final 15 opponents are east teams below .500! Based on their current win% against teams above and below .500, I'd say Raptors finish with 47 wins(8-3 against teams below .500,1-3 against teams above .500)

I guess I didn't miss much in the 4th. Once Portland started the second half with 4/4 from 3-land it was pretty much settled. It didn't help having Beal and Webster trying to shoot from the dribble. Or Wall losing the ball once he entered the lane. Hell, they could barely stay on the court. I think they had at least 3 turnovers from stepping on the line.

I hope you guys get that three seed. I'm cool with the four as long as Indy holds onto that one seed. A potential Brooklyn, Indy, Miami path is a lot more desirable for me than Washington, Miami, Indy.

I didn't watch the game but it looked like Wall had a nice game with 24 pts 14 assists. To me though what was best was he was 5/10 from the 3 pt line. If he gets a consistent jumper I think he can overtake CP3 as the best PG in the NBA eventually.

Yeah, his 3 point shot looked awesome last night. Only thing he would hit was the bottom of the net.

13 of those points came in the first quarter so he cooled off quite a bit the rest of the game. A couple careless turnovers. One was a total NBA 2k noob move trying to spin behind the back in the lane.

I think you have someone from Kentucky overtaking every position in the league within the next couple years lol..

Just joking

But really Wall is playing great. I think CP3 is still obviously the best all around guard in the game, but there are so many great young guys playing well this season.. Wall, Curry, Dragic, Lawson, Kyrie, Lowry, Lillard, outside of Kyrie all of those guys have really been exceeding expectations and playing extremely well..

Also can't count out guys like Parker, Rose, and Westbrook, Rondo, who have all been right up there with CP3 in the past few years..

Just too many great talents at the PG spot to label 1 guy as the next big thing, I really believe there will be 4 or 5 guys in the mix for that top spot for the next few seasons down the line.

Irony of that is that I'd rather Washington,Miami,Indiana than Brooklyn,Indiana,Miami.


Raptors gone 3-1 vs Wizards this year and only loss is 3OT game in which Raptors had 3 guys fouled out(2 from starting lineup),Ross injured and JV limited minutes too.

And I don't see Raptors making it past 2nd round anyways, so I'd much rather face(and lose to) Miami than Indiana. Raptors-Heat series will be probably most important games in franchise history played right there. Raptors would get national media coverage across the US which is huge for them.
