2 D'Angelo Russell
5 Mario Hezonja
6 Willie Cauley-Stein (UK)
9 Frank Kaminsky
11 Myles Turner
12 Trey Lyles (UK)
13 Devin Booker (UK)

with what Booker is showing at 19 years old, it will be interesting to look back in a couple of years and see where those players selected ahead of him are at; particularly D'Angelo Russell.

I say "those NBA scouts have failed once again!"

The Washington Utah and Boston - Philadelphia games have been postponed because of the big blizzard moving into the eastern seaboard. It's called Winter Storm Jonas

It's just crazy how we are witnessing the greatest shooter of all time in Curry.

They even decided to defend that buzzer beater...

Warriors are just ridiculous, I cant believe how easy Curry makes 3 point shooting look. Like every time he hoists ANY shot up, you are more surprised if it doesent go in. Guy looks like he is playing NBA Jam out there.

Really interesting player with a great touch that looks like he will stretch it out to 3 in the not so distant future. I think he has a lot of potential as a true post up player as well. Only thing I don't like is I don't see him as a double digit rebound guy. Overall, great looking prospect and a great looking draft so far.

Towns seems to be getting better as the season progresses. Definitely a gap opening up between him and Porzee for the rookie of the year. KP still looks like the 2nd best player from the draft but who knows what Okafor can develop into it.

KP now at 43% FG which is pretty low for a PF. Wonder if the Knicks keep him there long term or move him to center soon.

I hope the Cavs and LBJ fail. He honestly disgusts me...

Whats the difference between LeBron and Curry/Duncan/Dirk? LeBron had to win by forming "superteams" and got beat by 3 guys who just led the Team that they have been on for years. LeBron is a phenomenal talent and the best player of his generation, but its hard to believe that a transcending talent such as LeBron cannot find a way to win Titles by being a leader but rather a superfriend. :-?

It probably means he lacks something, perhaps between the ears. The only way for LeBron to win more than 2 Titles is that he will have to keep selling himself, he cant lead Cleveland to a Title, barring injuries to the West team.

Knicks barley beat Philly and Utah at Home. And got destroyed by the Clippers and Getting Destroyed by the Hornets with a quarter left

I really don't know who to cheer for in this Bulls-Cavs matchup

primopastalove2 · Post #1737 » by **primopastalove2** » Sun Jan 24, 2016 2:08 am

Wow we should totally be the favorites to get to the finals in the east.

Beautifully said my friend. Im convinced his return to Cleveland had more to do with taking the shackles off and being his own gm/coach, all the while being allowed to further his own brand on the company dime

Its always been about him and only him.

Sent from Christina Hendricks walk in bra closet.

The Cavaliers still going to be the media favourites to come out of the East, no matter how wonky they look from now. Sad truth, but the Raptors chances of getting to the ECF has gone up.

I think were better than Atlanta last year. The NBA is a guards league we have 2 legit all stars no offense to Teague and Korver
