Re: Around The League
Dwight's defense is absolutely terrible right now. I don't know how much of it is the back or if it's Mike Brown being a total pushover but he's not even trying.

Patrick Patterson can do the same things JJ can.
not right now he can't. Patrick Patterson isn't close to being a 19/11 guy if given starter's minutes - and it's not like he's competing with Asik for FGAs.
JJ Hickson is massively underrated. definite sleeper for best value big man who's not on a rookie contract.

he's got no lift in his jump, neither on offense or defense, so when he jumps to block shots from the safe distance he's used to, players are able to get shots off over the top of him far too easy.
my guess is it's the rust from the back injury.
dude had great form on his FTs though. i'll be interested to see if he can maintain that.

Re: Around The League
Anyone of the opinion that okc should have considered trading Westbrook instead of harden just looks like harden might have been a better fit with Durant and might have got even more. Ball movement kinda ugly for okc
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz takes:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year.

OKC has nothing down low, no scoring and no defense....they need a legit big that can actually score, everything comes from the outside

I thought that too, but they seem committed to Westbrook. He is top 5 at his position and as long as him and Durant are together OKC will be very good, but I still don't think it's a great fit.
Tony Parker was cold blooded tonight hitting two clutch shots in a row!

Completely agree I always think the spurs are the perfect team to emulate they are tough hard nosed and play together as a team I really hope Vaughn brings that attitude and Henny builds the same way

That's saying something since all LA fans will probably tell you Blake absolutely sucks. "He can't be worse than Blake."

Oh yeah, forgot Nash got hurt. Wow and Duhon still doesn't get backup minutes? Ouch. He may actually become even worse if he rots on that bench.
