o'quinn made shaqtin a fool... surprisingly harkless' crash and burn and elfrid's two airball free throws didn't make the cut.

New Orleans officially came closer than us to beating Golden State during this streak. They took them to overtime. Looks like GSW is going to win again though.

GSW are the 9th team in history to start 21-2. Their next two games are going to be tough though. 12/16 @ MEM, 12/18 vs OKC. Something tells me the streak will end one of those games. The craziest part about all of this to me is despite winning 16 in a row and being historically good to start the season, they are only 2 games ahead of Memphis for the top seed in the west.

On another note, by show of hands, who thought 5 years ago that one day Golden State, Memphis, Houston, Portland, Toronto, and Washington would own the top 6 records in the league?

How is NOLA 1 game below .500. They have arguably the best player in the game in Davis, a defensive force in Asik and Holiday and Evans are putting up decent stats. Anderson is having a down year, but it still feels like they should be better than they are.

Its simple, they have no bench aside from Anderson and no SG worth a crap.

Chris Bosh out indefinitely & McRoberts out for the season. Expect the Heat to go on a swoon. Remember they have a pick going to the Sixers that's top 10 protected they might just but a kibosh on Wade as well.

Bodes well for for Orlando's playoff chances.

Nice, was going to post this earlier. The pick goes to Cavs for LeBron sign and trade. (Unless it ended up in Philly's hands somehow!)

Maybe the should trade Deng and then go on a tear.

well his seasons over. Knees arent supposed to bend like that .shame

This has been a bad year to be a top 10 pick, its like Elf and Wiggins are the last 2 standing

NEM · Post #1156 » by **NEM** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:12 am

So elfrid has a legitimate chance at ROY now. It's a 3 man race: wiggins, payton, mcdaniels

I would add Noel and Mirotic...

tooler · Post #1158 » by **tooler** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:48 am

That list is so bad he might back into it.

Mirotic has the basketball geeks a-flutter but he can't stay on the court. I'm not sure he can learn to play defense at the level Thibodeau wants over the course of one season.

Noel isn't doing a whole lot.

McDaniels is a nice story but his raw numbers are so far from MCW and that was one of the worst ROY races in history. He'll probably regress as well.

People seem to be turning on Wiggins. They might talk themselves into it though, due to the pedigree.

Too bad Aaron Gordon got hurt. But I don't know if Jacque would give him enough minutes.

wiggins is gonna win. dudes got the green light unlike the other rooks.

tooler · Post #1160 » by **tooler** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:58 am

Yeah on second thought, Elfrid's PPG is just too low and that's still the deciding factor among neanderthal voters. It's gotta be Wiggins.
