Dennis Scott doesn't know what he talks about most of the time. All he says is 'Player's Only Baby'. His prediction is that we won't make the playoffs. Did he not see our record without Kawhi? His reasoning is we have too many unknowns and the rest of East got better...

Zion Williamson is going to be the next Charles Barkley. That comparison has been made before, but I felt like it was because people saw a fat athletic guy with guard skills running down the court and dunking it on everyone. I'm more convinced of the comparison because of how they post up. Barkley, with the help of his low center of gravity, could spin away from his defender and still have the body control to rise up and finish. It doesn't sound impressive, but at his weight it was. Zion displayed this all throughout college, being able to turn over either shoulder so quickly that defenses had no time to react to him.

The thing is, Zion's spin moves are better, he's more athletic, and he has a lot more mass (fat). The guy creates so much space whenever he turns over either shoulder, AND still has the body control to jump up in compromising positions. Whenever he spins I swear I'm watching peak athletic Michael Jordan. Even then I wasn't entirely sold on Zion's post game in the NBA level, but seeing him rise up against Atlanta's frontcourt so easily which featured a handful of big bodies, I can see him dominating the paint for a long time. Would love to see him work with past greats on his footwork.

That's the process culture, no idea how to win, they think the east just opened up their route to the finals and they can celebrate their way to the finals against a Chinese team being up 50 in the 3rd qtr

2nd best record over the past 4 or 5 seasons and the Raptors weren't even in the discussion for a championship, says the Admiral... :lol:

They'll catch on when we win our 3rd or 4th title.

I know - he looked really good in that quarter. Damn good. He's like a sponge that absorbed our style of play and is using it now. He definitely benefited from last season.

Didn't he come from a spurs a system that thrived on ball movement, and he would constantly talk about how much fun he had last season because he finally had the freedom to dominate the ball?
