    Man... some of the rookies.... Elfrid Payton has been a huge disappointment. Jabari Parker has been horrible, and I have that fucker on my fantasy team. I'd drop his ass, but I can't afford to take the risk that he'll put it together.

    I get that it's early, but Parker does not look like a polished Carmelo Anthony type player at all. A lot of people thought he'd run away with the ROY this year. The problem is that Milwaukee has quite a bit of talent at small forward/power forward. I wonder if he's the next Derick Williams.

    Last year's class sucked too. I worry about the future of the NBA.

    Nah, Parker is gonna be a Jeff Green level player. Which isn't great but is still pretty damn solid and a good-great 3rd option on a contender.

    Is it just me or have a lot of teams been putting up huge scoring nights? I can't remember a month where so many teams have put up 115+ points in a single game. There also seems to be a lot more ridiculous blow outs.

    Love off to a crappy start in Cle so far, it's early but I wonder how he is going to fit there. I think Minny in time will be seen to have easily gotent the better end of that deal.

    He's still putting up 17/10... Just not shooting or playing defense well. One of those will get better... and it isn't defense lol

    Well, we could pretty much guarantee that his numbers would dip playing alongside LeBron and Irving.

    Denver is a mess. They only scored 8 points in the 2nd quarter against the Knicks!

    It's because Philly, Denver, and Minnesota can't play D.

    They'll be our division door mat with Brian Shaw as their head coach.

    Man...between UTH, DEN, MIN and a broken-down OKC, that "division doormat" might be a rotating billet this year.

    I watched a lot of that Knicks game (Seahawks games make me too mad this season) and Denver might be the worst team in the NBA... Which is crazy considering their roster. They need to move everybody except Lawson, Afflalo, Gallo (he'll make a comeback), Faried, the two Euro centers and the rookie from Michigan State.

    The easiest move would be a different coach, but don't tell them that. :lol:
