    Seems to be on a short leash w/ Kerr.

    Misses a box out and he's immediately pulled.

    I still think Pheonix makes a play for him at some point. Couple 1sts and Bender.

    As a Duck hater even I was advocating for him over Swanigan. With Collins being a 3 and D center, Bell would've fit well with him (non-shooting PF with a shooting C). They're defense would've been stifling. What a shame.

    What the...? Philadelphia would never even consider that ... Fultz is already better than Fournier. Magic would probably dump him for salary relief. Fournier can't guard a paperclip.

    Yep. I mentioned it in this thread. Kyrie and Hayward were holding the team back, not helping them as people thought they would. I think the Celtics made ECF because those two were hurt, not despite it.

    These knuckleheads in the studio are showing that they don't really pay much attention to the NBA as you would think their job would require.. Dennis Schroeder has had that blonde streak in his hair for years and Shaq/Barkley/Ernie/Kenny are acting like it's something new. Ernie says it's team colors. SMH.

    Man Schroeder can disappear at times. But when he gets going, look out.

    Wow...Paul George absolutely taking over in this 3rd quarter. Looks good without Westbrook holding him back

    Depends on the stats you're looking at. Dame had more points per game, more rebounds per game, and more assists per game. He also played in more games.

    So no, Kyrie didn't have better stats than Dame.

    And oh yeah, Dame was First Team All NBA.

    Well Kyrie missed a lot of time, but Id take Dame over Kyrie any time. Its not ‘just’ being a homer either. Could you imagine how freaking good Dame would be with Stephens coaching him? :-0

    Games Played is a stat. Dame was statistically better on that one. Also ppg, rpg, apg, I didn't even look up steals and blocks. The coach is named Stevens but I believe Stotts is a good coach and Dame isn't being held back by him.

    Dame had the same spg as Kyrie and Dame was slightly higher in bpg.

    Stevens almost ended up coaching Oregon. They were going to offer him Ernie Kent's job after the NCAA's. But Butler made that first tourney run.... I often wonder how that wiuld have ended up.
