By reilo Go To Post Pretty sure Kanter is turkish for Bargnani.
Perfect fit for the Triangle.

Bargs has never averaged more than 6.2 RPG.
I'll admit his defense is terribad thus far, but the dude is 22 and putting up 20 and 10s on the reg. I'm fine with paying him this summer.
By reilo Go To Post Has Gondo ever disliked an active OKC player?
Waiters is terrible but he has changed some of his habits over the last few games. I'm hopeful that the film sessions are sticking and he'll stop taking so many long twos.
I'm not a fan of Roberson, Perry Jones or Lamb for various reasons. And there were plenty of players to hate during the first couple of seasons in OKC. Too many to list.
I prefer to just hate everyone because then if they surprise me, it's a lot more fun.
I hated Shabazz, but so did everyone else, there's no crow to eat.
By Forever Go To Post I think the KD thing has broken Condo.
Tough times.
Wonder how he manages once KD/Westbrook leaves.

I liked Clarkson since summerleague when he was out playing Randle, and then Randle finally showed up like the 3rd game of summerleague. I had hope back then....="(
Coach Scott says after games (when he's congratualting the opposing team on their newest win) that a good amount of upcoming free agents tell him how they'd love to play in LA.
Most dangerous 9th seed of all time incoming ya bishes.

I had to stop watching Summer League because it has seemingly little correlation to actual NBA play. Wiggins wasn't that good in the summer, he wasn't even good for probably 20 games into the season, really. But, Jonny Flynn, dude lit it up.
Although if you outright suck in the summer, you're probably terrible. See, Dante Exum or Austin Rivers.

This is how I generally approach things too. It makes it easier to watch dudes struggle through figuring it out when you don't stan them.

Yea, You can't put stock in good games, but bad games are a warning. Basically gotta watch for fundamentals, not highlight dunks or insane scoring on d-league talent.
Clarkson could pass, dribble and had quickness in all directions. Solid foundation. Randle was booty-cheeks, I was legit shook at Randle's first two SL games cause he looked baaad. But that had more to do with not being able to exercise or play ball for a few months before hand. Mid way through summer league, he was passing really well and taking it to his man physically. They'll both be good rotation players at worst.
Exum seems to refuse to use his toolset. He's been shit but it might just be a mental thing. At no point did anyone say the standing 3 was part of his game and thats like all he does in the NBA. I'm not judging Exum just yet, he looks like a bust so far but I just can not accept that he has forgotten all of his PG skills, he hardly ever uses his first step which was like at the top of the list of his Pros.
By knux-future Go To PostThis is how I generally approach things too. It makes it easier to watch dudes struggle through figuring it out when you don't stan them.
It's more realistic, too. Becuase odds are the guy you draft won't cut it in the NBA. Of the 60 guys drafted each year, only a few of them will actually make it and matter.
That said, I would be very excited to walk away from this draft with Towns or Russell.
By Moris Go To Post You used to slobber allllll over Lamb, you don't need to lie Dongo.
By knux-future Go To Post Lamb of God and all that
By reilo Go To Post Motherfucker straight lying.

Does it matter? Atlanta is resting their entire starting 5
I've never seen such disrespect

Bongo, what say you?

Just need to know if I should put him in line up or not lol
Windhorst saying there's a speculation around the league that Love comes to LA this or next offseason and YNot follows.
...its all rumors and speculation but that's kinda the only situation in which I'd be OK with Love coming here, if he brings another star.
We're resting guys even though we have no incentive to lose (the difference between the 12th and 10th pick is basically nothing) because we have no incentive to win, like all other lottery teams.
I think that's sometimes forgotten in the anti-tanking discussion.
http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/12561636/inside-jeremy-lin-life-linsanity-new-york-knicks
Lin is thinking way too much out there. He should be enjoying this ride.
By Moris Go To Post I think Lin will be fine onc ehe finds the right team/offense.
The fact that you guys have to bench him to prevent him from further destroying the tank is a good thing for him...shows that he belongs.
If/when we miss out on the Top PGs, I wouldn't mind signing Lin in the offseason
By creepingfear Go To Post Just read that Bulls can give Knicks their franchise record of 60 loses. Don't fuck this up Bulls!
You have my sword.

that's surprisingly low.
By fertygo Go To Post Is GS gonna sit their starter? playing back-to-back is so not worth the risk.
Green and Iguodala are out. Lee is starting

He's ours, unless you know Morey "burned another bridge" with a player.
Then again, Hinkie/Morey are one in the same.
By HasphatsAnts Go To Post Stanley "swole" Johnson just finished his college career
For developmental purposes...he needs to go back..but that is fucking stupid financially as he will only lose himself money.
He needs to get less swole to see if that speeds him up and make him mroe explosive.
I'd be ok with almost all of the top 10 dudes..but he definately scares the fuck out of me. I'm hoping that better spacing and such helps him out..but yeesh dude takes an L everytime I watch him
By RBK Go To PostHe's ours, unless you know Morey "burned another bridge" with a player.

I'd be pretty shocked if Lin goes back after the way he was treated there.
By HasphatsAnts Go To Post Stanley "swole" Johnson just finished his college career
Marvelous line tonight.
I've liked him all year, so I'll stick to my guns. He rebounds well, he defends, he does stuff.
By pilonv1 Go To PostGreen and Iguodala are out. Lee is starting
Bogut and Steph should too tbh
btw not even sure we playing "pro" team tonight

Why would he want to go back to playing off the ball with Harden tho?
He needs a place that will allow him to handle the rock and make decisions. With Harden there, Houston isn't that place...and with good reason as Harden is worth having the ball every time he's on the court. You guys need a guy who can play off the ball AND also handle it when needed. Good luck finding that guy but Lin isn't it.
