Carroll pointed out on the atl feed, they were told press Kobe full court all game because his legs would wear down ... It worked

Please make tomorrow's GT as well :lol: :lol:

Was hoping for 0-4 on this road trip,I'll take 1-3 **** it

We're officialy in the top 10 right now.....Mem and Brooklyn at the very least,I reckon will get better and surpass us at some point so 2 less teams we have to worry about.....top 7 draft spot by pingpong balls is reachable,maybe we get some Bulls/Clippers luck and advance in the lottery the spots we need to
Either way I'd be happy with the top 6,no way you can get wrong there.....obv I'd prefer Embiid but Smart/Exum/Randle will be good too

I know that, just wondering the perspective of the poster that are saying that

Tanking or plain sucking,doesn't matter how you call it as long as we get where we need to be in the end

I prefer Embiid because he has the highest potential in this Draft IMO and can have the most impact out of all players....solid 2 way C is at a premium in today's league

Also for Wiggins we'll probably need the no.1 pick,I don't think we'll get there

Take a gander at this thread, some good info there. We don't start talking much about Embiid till page 2, but it's evident that the kid is oozing with potential.

but i think some crazy GM will pick Embiid at 1

you know, big like Embiid is rare, two way Center, has amazing outlet passing, athletic, strong etc dsb

If Embiid keeps playing well, it might not be crazy to draft him #1. I hope he drops to the Lakers.

Because the Lakers are always on the lookout for the next dominant big. We’ve had 3 of the greatest and won championships with all of them. Besides, IMHO Wiggins isn’t living up to the hype, and could fall out of the top 3 by season’s end.
