THC-J is starting to worry me, more non-sequiturs than ever.

Yeah. What Doncic has already shown is ridiculous at his age. No need to think twice.

I mean, if you tell me we’re drafting Ricky Rubio but he has none of the flaws actual Rubio has (very poor shooting, struggles finishing inside, doesn’t draw many fouls) and he’s also 6’7″ or 6’8″, I take that guy 1st every time.

Doncic doesn’t need to be a 40%+ 3pt shooter straight away in the league simply because everything else is so advanced. Court vision, passing, rebounding, ability to create, he has shown them all at very high levels in the most competitive scenarios possible outside of the NBA. If his defense holds out ok enough all he needs to do is to be able to shoot decently and he’s a star.

rubio was good at a really young age but he was always very deficient in the shooting category… it’s quite miraculous that he’s been able to sustain an nba career shooting as poorly as he has and that’s because he’s been excellent dishing the ball, generating turnovers and getting to the line…. the shooting was at such a low level it capped his offensive upside….

doncic doesn’t have that problem… his skillset is both wide and deep… his offense is a bit 3 happy but he takes it to the rim fairly aggressively and he has a variety of moves and creativity when doing so…

when you do this many things well at that age against this type of competition…. it’s more the norm that they turn into superstars than turn into pumpkins….

Golden State is going to sweep them or win in 5 if Draymond keeps his head on his shoulders and CP3 doesn’t injure somebody. The Warriors are a notch above everybody in the league and nobody will win two playoff games against them at full strength. The Cavs had to have an all time great offensive game to avoid getting swept. James Harden played his little heart out and GSW still controlled the action from wire to wire. D’Antoni didn’t help himself by limiting Capella to 30 minutes, but this Warriors team at full strength is simply unbeatable. You have the best motion offense in history and then you have the option to swing it strongside to Durant and let him go one on one and fry the opposing team’s best wing defender until his team sends the double. There is no beating this team, and Golden State will undress the Rockets.

I think Houston will still win a couple of games in this series but let’s be honest Golden St with Durant no team is coming close to seriously beating them in a Best of 7 series. Maybe a healthy Celtics team next year or depending on where LeBron goes but even he has to slow down eventually.

Don’t worry, BBA. Houston’s regular season SRS pretty much guarantees this will be a competitive series.

Durant going to Golden St has made the playoffs anti-climactic and basically the Conference and NBA Finals boring.

Nick Young runs like a lazy middle schooler being told to run into a headwind

There were many many times when the knicks absolutely needed ______ in the game. Often, _____ was the only guy on the floor that was able to score.
Despite all his deficiencies, ____’s far above average at putting the ball in the basket, and can do it without an assist.
Whether you like him or not, whether he should be on the knicks roster or not, of course ______ has a role in the NBA coming off the bench to put points on the board.

Is this about Beasley or Carmelo? Both suck at NBA ball, my dude.
