Okay, we completely disagree about Butler as well at this point. No way would I name him next to Lebron, Durant, and Kawhi. 3 All-Stars. Butler will never be one and Paul George may not either but he's still a level above Butler imo.

Butler is a 3 time all star, bro. That "trust the Process" has gone to your head and made you lose your damn mind

Kawhi, Durant and LBJ are goat level super stars in ability, its not George's fault his position is stacked with those, but he is better then any other SF. Defenitely better then Butler, he is more complete, can do it all, ball handling, 3 pts, athletic posturizing beast, pro defender etc.



People underrate him too much just because he spent too long in obsecurity of Indiana. And true he lacks the confidence to be clutch, but he defenitely has the ability to be, just needs to grow more as a player.

But is he better than the Greek Freak? In other words, whom would you rather have right now? I'd take that young beast in Milwaukee any day over Paul George, and to me it's not even close.

I would possibly take Giannis over ANY player in the league so I'm not the right player to ask to be objective about him



I wasnt even considering him as SF even if that is his original position and consistent one, the dude plays PG and PF too.

I was thinking Hall of Famer but ended up mixing them up

My mind might have been lost but my body is all about the project. You need to trust it. It will soon bear the sweetest fruits known to mankind.

It's tough for me, as an outsider when I look at that roster in trying to figure out what is needed on the 76ers.

The immediate answer would be point guard, but then how does that work with Simmons, if he is going to be the primary ball handler in the point forward role. The conventional wisdom would say Fox from Kentucky, but he needs the ball to be effective.

Lonzo Ball? Anything short of Lonzo getting caught fucking Magic's wife in the ass would not prevent the Lakers from taking him. And even if he did get caught, I think they would take him anyway. I don't think there is any chance at all that he slips to #3.

I'm thinking Josh Jackson to the 76ers to add athleticism and defense on the wing. From a purely basketball standpoint, I would prefer the Lakers take him, but I can understand and can't ignore the appeal of a local kid from Chino Hills who played at UCLA, being a star for his hometown team.

Discuss the all NBA teams thats just been revealed (rest of clip about Paul George):

 

[Alex-444]

 

[JuveJay]

Rudy Gobert in the second team

 

[Osman]

Call me biased but biggiest news for me isn't George or Hayward but Towns not making 3rd over Jordan. I mean come on...


Let's break down their numbers:

Towns:25.1 ppg, 12.3 rpg, 1.3 bpg, 2.7 apg
Jordan:12.7 ppg, 13.8 rpg, 1.7 bpg, 1.2 apg



Rest are identical except huuuge difference in scoring and telling improvement in assists . You shouldn't be chosen just because you are in a better team.


Cousins has too bad of a rep but he too is better then Jordan.

You just sour that your favorite team wolves were overlooked.

 

[KB824]

George and Hayward each just lost out on an additional 75 million dollars by not being named to the All-NBA teams.

And them not making it instead of Butler isn't a controversy. Butler had a better year than either one of them.

The only reason why it is even being brought up is because of the financial implications. Nothing else.

Not really, Towns is just better then Deandre Imo.


Towns is most impressive young Super star level player with Giannis.

They made Davis a center to put him in lol

 

[Osman]

Lonzo Ball?

 

[KB824]

The kid shot 41% from 3 pt range last season, and he was taking NBA range 3's. It's not like he was shooting in the high teens/low 20's from 3 last year. Look at some highlights. The bottom line is that the kid doesn't need to score to make a major impact. And he's smart enough to know when to shoot.

He is a taller, more athletic Jason Kidd

@acmilan

How about dem Celtics.

Just killin' it.

- - - Updated - - -

Seriously though, how can you play this shit in a conference finals. Down 40 points in the 2nd quarter.

- - - Updated - - -

I wonder if this is the biggest half-time lead in conference finals history. 41 points.

Celtics with 38 points in first half of game 1, 31 points tonight. Pathetic showing.

 

[Ronn]

WTF! 106-60 in the 4th quarter. Celtics are embarrassing.

Celtics lol, at least I take some pleasure in seeing them suck so much.

 

[KB824]

Here's a fun fact.

Danny Ainge, the same Danny Ainge who wouldn't give up any draft picks the last 2 years for players that could actually help, the one who is called a genius because of all these 1st round picks he has.

Well, since he became the GM, he has had 22 draft picks.


Guess how many of them are all-stars?


Take a guess.

I'll give you a hint.

It is more than -1, but less than 1.
