    He really broke out for ACB minnows Gran Canaria last year.



    Of course, he's no Boban. But who is?

    Unreal. Draymond Green third straight triple double. He might win MVP.

    Watching the Miami-NY game: Rolo dominated Whiteside tonight.

    Grizzlies just picked up our boy EWill (hometown kid) and dropped Ryan Hollins.

    Jeff Withey as a starter looks every bit as good as Joel Przybilla.

    I envy their center rotation with Gobert back.

    If Anthony Davis doesn't get voted in as a starter, I wonder if he'll make the All Star game. There are lots of deserving players and he and his team have underperformed this season.

    Bradley Beal is turning into Eric Gordon 2.0 this season.

    It's been killing me to keep him stashed on my fantasy bench.

    How is Minnesota so bad?

    Losing to MIL/PHL/DEN in the same week?

    I don't want them getting a lotto pick above us. They have enough young talent and a good mix of vets to be able to win now. Dumbass wolves

    They seem to be in the same boat as the Pelicans. Decent (to even very good) talent but it apparently doesn't fit together correctly.

    We are a bit of the opposite. Not incredible talent yet (outside of a couple of guys of course) but our sum of our parts is greater then them individually.

    I have no idea why they didnt somewhat make a leap this year. Is Wiggins slightly overrated ? It makes no sense why that team cant for the most part sniff the 7th-8th seeds as a young darling team who then go from there in the years to come..

    That roster was primed to be Blazers in 07-08. But they might not win 30 games.

    MIN is the PHI of the West. They suck as an organization - no amount of draft picks will change that.

    Yep, that's why I don't understand why people have been saying how good they're going to be in the future. It's Minni, they'll be a lower playoff seeded team at the absolute best simply because it's Minni.
