The Indy Talks To Himself (NBA) Thread.

This sort of stuff seems to be happening to Westbrook a lot.

 

I think he has a screw loose.

 

Everything I’ve heard about this encounter suggests that the fan’s initial comment was out of line and probably racist.

But why does Westbrook respond? And why does he bring the woman into it? It’s just bizarre.

 

Another great night for my enjoyment of Bron Bron and the Lakers this year.

 

Pop is a friggin sorcerer by the way.

 

My son has this book with the 10 greatest players at every position (from Sporting News, maybe?) He's on centers, and Shaq (who I think is underrated at somewhere around 8,) caught my eye. He missed 5,300 free throws in his career. If he shot just 65%, he would have scored almost 1,500 more points, approximately the equivalent of one more entire healthy season's worth of scoring.

And Wilt was worse.

 

Jusuf Nurkic, my god

 

Heard about it, can never watch those videos.

Giannis or Harden?

 

Giannis, but I'm severely biased. We are one game away, though, from clinching home court advantage.

 

Giannis for me too. It’s tough, and Paul George deserves a mention too, but having by far the best record of the three pushes it to Giannis for me.

 

Giannis. Milwaukee needs something

 

Harden is on pace to have 2nd most turnovers ever (Harden in 2016-17 had most). He’s going to lead the league in turnovers for a 6th time. 2nd most times leading the league is Westbrook with 3 times. With his bullshit travel, triple step-back,and the fact he plays zero D - he can go [uck fay] himself.

He’s leading the league in 3s, beating Steph by 20...
But with 190 more attempts.

Give it to Giannis.

 

OKC has fallen off down the stretch.

 

Giannis is the more complete player.

 

Harden is a better defender than people realize, especially in the post. As I said, I’d choose Giannis, but it’s close to a coin flip. You don’t have to be that “complete” when you’re way better on offense than everyone else is.

 

Yeah, I looked at the standings expecting them to be the ~3 seed like they were for a while. Nope.

 

Giannas is putting up crazy numbers and his team has been there all year long. He should have MVP locked up. Paul George was up there but his teams slide puts him below Giannas and Harden.

 

Giannis. At least he doesnt break the rules of basketball every minute of every game. And hes not a ball hog.
