The Coli on up and coming players: Jokic scores 17/8/8

:gladbron:

OH........ MY.......... GOD........ He is so good, do y'all see his passes and his b ball IQ:obama:. WOW, I'm so happy I got to witness the amazing 16ppg 8rpg he has averaged this season. He is the best sophomore in the league, period :mjgrin: (ignores the career high his former teammate scored every single bucket on him, ignores his team losing 5 of the last 7)



Towns has 37/13/4 and has averaged 31ppg since the asb


:francis: The T Wolves suck ONLY cause KAT doesn't defend all 5 players on the opposing team for 48 minutes. They would be a playoff team if instead he just guarded 4 of them for 39 minutes :francis:. Dude is so overrated, he is the worse defender in the NBA and I don't care if he is shooting 60% over his last 10-15 games, he should pass it to 43% shooting Wiggins or 41% shooting Rubio. Matter of fact, Dieng is a more efficient big also:sas2:.



Man, y'all nikkas can :camby:


Uh...Kat is a lottery pick...he is supposed to put up numbers like that...he was drafted in the slot of "you build your team around this guy for a decade"

Jokic was the number 41st pick in the draft...and their are only 60 players drafted...guys in his draft slot typically don't even last in the nba through their rookie contract...

Oh no doubt my nikka, Jokic is a fukkin baller and I love his game, just making a point my dude. Everytime KAT has a great game (literally every single night now) all I hear dudes talk about on here is his defense. It could be a number of things that's affecting his rotations (including garbage ass Wiggins who couldn't keep a 40yo Derek Fisher out of the lane let alone a current great player) or coach Tibs needs another year to enforce his scheme, Tibs had defensive minded players in CHI and he can't use the same scheme with these youngins ya dig.


Idk bruh, me personally, I think Shaq is the only big drafted in the last 30 years who was as good as KAT so early. Out of all players, only LeBron and Durant had a comparable first 2 seasons (Wade also).

The dude is a monster, he is more Karl Malone than Alonzo Mourning though. Maybe he will never be a "great" defender, but he is a once in a lifetime big offensively and I love to watch that shyt.

My basketball brehs.

Let's look at the next 9 games for the Thunder. IF the Thunder go 8-1...they get to 50. If they get to 50 I think you HAVE to give it to Westbrook.

Magic (W)
Spurs (L)
Hornets
Bucks
Grizzlies
Suns (W)
Nuggets
Wolves
Nuggets

Can they do it? :jbhmm:

hell no they can't. Look at the teams they finna be playing hard basketball to make it to the top 8, got denver playing twice I am sure they will try their best to get that 8th seed. Bucks wanna secure that playoff spot, Hornets may still be trying to win games, 8-1 is too good for okc

looking at portland and denvers schedule, id be shocked if the blazers dont hold on to the 8th seed.

that would be tough for okc to get 50....i think 48 deserves very strong consideration. rockets will probably finish about 56. i think if might be bigger if they get the 5th seed though. leading them to a 5th seed without KD is damn impressive. they would also have a solid chance against utah in round 1

Thunder/TSC
Thunder need to calm down. They're trying to play way to fast for no reason. Russy already got 7 or 8 turnovers trying to play to quick :francis:
