By livefromkyoto Go To Post John Schuhmann @johnschuhmannFollowIf they don't beat HOU tonight, the Raptors will begin the playoffs (4/18) without a W over a winning team in almost 2 months (2/20).
And yet we'll still make the second round. #LeasternConference #FireGrunfeld

By DominicanPower Go To PostTowns is not a center in The NBA. He's a PF. He's the same height as LMA and he's a 4.
Towns blocks 5 shots per 40 minutes and weighs 250 pounds at 18.
He can play PF, but he fits pretty good at center. Towns is taller than Dwight by a couple of inches and he'll be heavier than Dwight by his second year. He's as big as Marc Gasol, Bogut, he's way bigger than Noah... Not everyone is Rudy Gobert or Ropez sized in the NBA.
It just seems weird to be like, "the guy that is awesome at blocking shots, but doesn't move laterally that well, he should play PF." I don't know.
By IWMTB19 Go To PostThe Hawks haven't tried to win basketball games since early February and they still get byes in the first two playoff series. That much rest heading into the ECF is going to be interesting.
Oddly enough, the Raptors have matched up pretty well with the Hawks this season. I'd way rather see them in the playoffs than Chicago or Lebron.

Not crazy that it takes a couple season to bulk. Noel is a center he's just a little slight ATM, Pau was a PF for years despite being over 7 feet. His skills p much make him a Center regardless.

LMA is 240. I say he's a 4 because he doesn't bang down low like that and he can do more than just be in the post. His passing and shooting is why he has greater upside than Okafor.

But does he have to play in the post and bang on offense to be a center? Towns playing like Mehmet Okur on offense seems like a decent future possibility and the ability to drag Bogut, Duncan, Hibbert, and Gobert out to the three point line would be deadly, there would be spacing everywhere.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostRaps-Wiz is a lock for the 1st round. Washington has been even worse than Toronto and Raps have owned them for a while now. 2nd round Raptors is happening.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Post Who do you like for your pick DY?
Since we can't draft a coach... I'd like to attach it to Al Jefferson and see who bites to be honest.
A big PG would be nice tho

Kris Dunn should be available around Charlotte's pick. I kinda like him.
Yeah that Raptor atmosphere is gonna make the L's so much worse too...Leonsis will never want to experience that shit again, I promise you.

Towns is a center, he really doesn't play like LMA at all.
Most scouting sites have him as a PF/C. Also to further add to my "why can't monroe and Towns function together poin". Towns is in a front court with Cauly Stein in Kentucky. and Cauly Stein is even more limited offensively than Monroe and through passing (which monroe is great at) they are making it work that front court work in Kentucky.
By DominicanPower Go To PostTowns is a 4. Dude can expand his range in time. He could can be a mini LMA. The problem is Melo isn't a 3 anymore.
That is a real issue. A small ball line up with Melo at the 4 should be something the knicks look into. Though I think eventually the knicks will have to try to get a 3/4 tweener with better than average defensive player to make their small lineup really work. Maybe they have that in Thanasis if not it will probably be the priority in 2016 FA.
By KumaJG Go To Post Let Gerald Wallace out hustle you. Hornets goddamn sad.
Wallace is literally just hustle though. Hustle is what defined his career, no?

Gerald Wallace is playing at home breh
By Dark PhaZe Go To Post Will the Knicks take Russell if they get pushed to 3rd?
They should. The Knicks need people at every position, they can't be picky. Mudiay might be the worst fit of the top 4 but even then.

This dude is ollllld tho.
By viakado Go To Post clarkson doin work. lakers tanking. you're welcome knux
Not so fast. Hinkie is going to tell Noel he aint shit during halftime and its all down hill from there
By knux-future Go To PostThey should. The Knicks need people at every position, they can't be picky. Mudiay might be the worst fit of the top 4 but even then.
I didn't think Mudiay will be top-4 by draft night, but then I realized that he should have awesome workouts. People will be talking about what an athlete he is and his wingspan.

I ain't gonna talk shit because...we might be the team wowed by said jumpoutdagymability
By psychintellect Go To Post Harden is fucking genius in the pick n roll
You would think mcFail and Dwight would want to take advantage of that far more.

I'm tempted to bet on this but I haven't watched the Wizards lately.
4-0 on SLAENT bets so far, don't want to ruin my perfect record.
By KumaJG Go To Post This defense...I feel bad for DY.
shout out to the gawd mkg
but our coach feels the need to play brian roberts now WHY. jeffery taylor WHY.
By knux-future Go To PostI ain't gonna talk shit because...we might be the team wowed by said jumpoutdagymability
Flip drafted LaVine just becase he's a good athlete. Hopefully Mudiay's people tell the Wolves no because they just paid Rubio so Flip can't get hot and bothered watching him back down a chair.

If we could get that kind of radical shot selection change for Bradley Beal..

Phil likes big guards, so if Okafor/Towns are off the board, he's taking Russell.
