Pressured me? lol don't flatter yourself dude...look who I said I was targeting before him...Drummond and Whiteside. Nobody else left on his level at the 5 as a defensive anchor... you get crazy af during these games...a lot of it (3 games in a row) directed towards me...so much hate in your heart lol.

lol, where'd I get crazy? You the one that was sending Harry Potter novels at anyone that threw a jab at your team. I told you to go pick and you had to throw a jab at me for not winning a chip. Like why you gotta get petty so quick?

And Adams isn't much of a defender. He's more of a hustler/physical player on both ends than a true defender.

Adams not a true defender? Wow...seen it all.

Steven Adams has arrived.

He still doesn't defend the rim as well as some of his peers at the center position, and you'll rarely find him spacing the floor for the rest of the Oklahoma City Thunder. But the young big man has learned how to finish on the interior, whether he's slamming home finishes from a Russell Westbrook feed or creating shots with his back to the basket.

Also, there's this:

3 picks too early at the most.

Let's take a second though to recognize I had the best team last BAT, picks 6, 24, 47. No one has a better combination than that.

I had Kemba, Melo, Jabari, Horford, and Whiteside 2 BAT's ago and still lost. Yours def should've been in the finals though.

Don´t talk trash when you know you were an 8th seed.

I was a 4th seed last BAT
and 2 BAT's ago I was a 3 seed fym?

Let´s be honest here, prior to the judges handing you that 4th seed you knew you were barely making the playoffs. Find me one BAT participant that says your previous team should have been a 4th seed.

You guys always hate hard on my squads if we're being honest. My top 2 players went 12 and 18 in this BAT and they fit perfectly together.

second that wtf, my 3rd 4th and 5th picks are on that chart

[Knicksfan1992]

Guys I'm about to leave work and can't use up any more of my phone data so it might be a while after Tape picks before I get my pick in. I'm also discussing possible trades. Sorry in advance if I take a little extra time.

I can only speak for myself, but I give credit where credit is due (unless you´re Pelifan, he needs to get roasted like a pelican).

My squad last time had Griffin Jokic and someone someone on the same team and we lost to a team with klay Thompson and scrubs I don't care about what judges think and rather we sim or just do a peer vote cause them judges are ass

I disagree, but as always I wont put it against anyone for liking someone more than a similar rated player, hell even not a similar rated player, do whatever you like

What round do you take LAYMAN

There is a reason I traded down Pelicopter

You need to understand how to decipher what people are saying..."not as good as defending the rim as SOME of his peers." That means there's a few who are better...that's all. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand this.

According to that graph, he's a better defender than Marc Gasol, Anthony Davis, Towns, Bogut, Cousins, Ibaka, Biyombo, etc...hardly a knock.

The dude is a very good defender and an anchor on defense...it's not debateable..you saying he's not is laughable 4real...his DRPM (defensive real plus/minus) is 21st in the league out of all players.
