Valanciunas sure lets a lot of balls go through his hands.

"Probably" top 7?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Booker's not the MVP but he's alot higher than 7th place



Who is your top 10? Booker wouldn't make mine.

Yup, heard a lot of this about KD in the Nets game. Almost like the Celtics and Suns are great defensive teams :lol:


You seriously don't have Book in your top 10? Which means you don't have him 1st or 2nd team All NBA.

I think a better question is what does your MVP list look like....

Cameron Payne...that might be the funkiest shooting motion I've ever seen, not even sure how you end up with that one growing up without someone trying to correct it.

JV shouldn't be playing. He's getting owned and its affecting him mentally.

Same thing happened to the Hawks, I underestimated how much of a toll 2 play-in games take on these guys

Wrong thread but I’m also curious for this one


TIER 1: Biid, Freak, Joker.

Tier 2: Doncic , Tatum, Booker, that bouncy Grizzlies PG

Tier 3: insert someone from bulls, ???

He has to be top 10 but who is it you consider top 10 ? Durand ? steph ? bron ?

So they normally make all those shots that are rejected by Bridges, Ayton, and McGee? :lol:

Willie Green has some adjustments to make, he might need to start Trey Murphy for the rest of this series
