Yeah, Harden's game looks like it could resist the test of time. I already mentioned AD but yeah Donovan Mitchell is aiming for that top SG in the league spot pretty hard.

Westbrook's not an old man either. wow. the NBA has some serious talent on display

and none of them are Nets !!!!!!! oh god why do we even bother

The worst part is at least one of these guys legitimately should be here right now lol.

exactly.

we're **** ed.

Adams is still there, but that situation is looking like the guys who have trade value will ask out.

Sam Presti has finally played himself. his downfall is actually hilarious to me.

That's the kind of loss that can mentally defeat a team like Utah. Hope not.

Great NBA games tonight. Glad I watched the Cavs and the Thunder.

Otto Porter had compartment syndrome in his leg.

Hope he makes a full recovery, that's some serious ****. It's one of my weird obscure phobias.

Brad Stevens gets so much out of his players.

Roy Tarpley · Post #573 » by **Roy Tarpley** » Sun Apr 29, 2018 10:35 am

I'm amazed that Stevens is squeezing wins from a team that plays major minutes from rookies like Yabusele, Ojeyele, and Tatum, second years like Rozier and Brown, and role players like Baynes, Smart, and Larkin.

Rockets vs Dubs and Philly vs Cavs are my predictions.

You need at least one elite level talent in today's NBA to even have a chance to sniff a conference finals.

He's going to leave that team.

Kenny needs to look at how Brad Stevens has his club competing defensively and figure out why a team who is devastated by injury is still able to compete at a high level. I watch Boston play and I understand why people get pissed off with the system we use. our team defense needs to improve next season.

bostons 5th string is still twice as good defensively from a talent standpoint. outside of RHJ and Acy we dont really have plus defenders and they play the same positions. i love allens potential and he blocked alot of shots but overall he was subpar defensively as well,

Stevens has good defenders and super athletes all over

I know some of you guys love ragging on the NEts for having a crappy fan base but did anyone watch the rockets v utah? It was a library for most of the game. It was so jarringly different after watching the Cavs game.
Rockets are almost a lock to go to the WCF and the most of the fans seem disinterested. Sad.

I feel like Crabbe, Levert, Carroll, and Allen are good enough that if Stevens was the coach, he could've molded them into a strong defensive team. There's little doubt in my mind that Stevens is the best coach in the NBA.

i agree stevens is great... one o if not the best. but crabbe and levert are subpar defenders. caroll is solid but not great. allen was subpar even though he blocked alot of shots.

we'd defend better with stevens, but nowhere near bostons defense. they are just more talented defensively up and down the roster.
