Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

All that's left is for the Spurs to lose and the cipher is complete

That's the cherry on the top. I been enjoying this lil spell they been goin through. Manu really was the best player for them last night. Kyle Anderson is some hot garbage. No wonder kawhi don't want to comeback to that garbage ass roster.

Thank God the kid is back. Damn shame the basketball warlords took Brogdon as quid pro quo though.


Also, shoutout to Andrew Wiggins lookin like straight up ASS.

Lebron goin try and snatch this MVP trophy away from Harden. These new look Cavs not getting enough credit.

 

[pete clemenza]

Why is Dirk still on the Mavs He never wanted to make one more playoff run before he hangs it up

 

[Brozay]

Young melo didn't do this

Jabari still trying to dunk everything

ginobli finally came home

Can see more teams copying Harden/Houston's offense after this season. Like @Gil Scott-Heroin said, averaging 30/10 & leading your team to one of the best offenses in Regular Season history is extremely easy.

Tony Parker been in the league 17 years already?

 

[GilSho]

I don't know what he talking about. Teague was good tonight but he also took advantage of our switching defense and gotnswitchboutbto a couple of mismatchs he capitalized on.

Secondly the game game shifted in our favor when harden subbed out for CP3 and the defense locked Minny down . CP3 is still a very good solid defender out there. He slips those high screens much better than Beverley did for us

Anyone without an agenda knows how valuable Chris Paul is on the defensive end.

Sure, if they can get the same caliber of shooters/spacing and an athletic big that Houston currently has.

I saw Teague take CP3 off the dribble many a time in this game. I've seen guards and wings take CP3 off the dribble many a time this season.

That Wiggins contract is going to haunt the Wolves in the long run, no other way for the team to improve or become legit contenders with any flexibility unless Wiggins actually lives up to the hype. KAT & Wiggins going to get close to another 150+ mill each, have Teague, Gibson, & Dieng on long term deals unless they attach first rounders to them for expirings or shorter contracts. Wolves will be a playoff team for years to come, which they haven't been in forever, but they need Wiggins to become an All Star soon. I been saying that a Wiggins for CJ McCollum swap would make sense for both the Wolves & Blazers imo.

How does it make sense for Portland?

How does it make sense for Portland?

Dame & CJ are never going to work defensively or be a legit contender when they are the 2 best players on your team. This Blazers team is not going to get any better and are stuck in purgatory. Why not take a chance on Wiggins, with more touches next to Lillard and hope he pans out as he is still only 22 is better than being stuck as a treadmill team that the Blazers are right now. Wolves get help that helps them win now and can get some added depth from the Blazers to match salaries for Wiggins' contract. One of Dame or CJ will have to go in the future, not sure you would get a better package that would help the Wolves win now and start cutting some long term salaries and the Blazers with Lillard, Wiggins, & another piece in the future is better than have an undersized backcourt that's not going to get it done in the West. Teague & CJ would have problems on defense, but will open the floor and better shooting that matches up better for both Butler & KAT.
