Nice summary of Harden's pathetic journey so far. Thank gawd he never demanded a trade to Boston.

playa-hater wrote:3 point shooting for a center like KP is great, but not necessary for a center to have a 3 point shot. Perfect example is currently Mike Williams of the Hornets. Bigman has no 3 attempts for his career. This season Currently shooting 85% from the FG. Tonight compiling 15 offensive rebounds (24 total) just in tonight's game. His backup Nik Richards not too shabby either. 65% this season with a 5 for 5 off the bench.

Point is be good at something. Having a vertical spacing center who can rebound and protect the rim is what Boston needs. Other than "knowing where to be" Kornet brings nothing to the table.

Boston needs to get that type of talent going forward. Sooner than later if Possible.
Similar for rookie Lively on Dallas.

The Celtics got Kornet for free while Williams and Lively were lottery picks. That matters. If the Celtics are going to spend that kind of draft capital, I hope they do it for players like Jrue Holiday or Derrick White instead of guys that can't do anything at a NBA level outside of three feet from the basket.

I'm not really sure what makes Lively and Williams rim protectors and not Kornet. He's a better shot blocker than either of them and Lively's numbers defending around the rim are particularly ugly.

Dallas gives up an ungodly amount of points in the paint, and it's not all on Grant.

Saw some Bucks-Magic game.

The Bucks defense really not good this season.

Luka and Kyrie have to be the worst starting defensive guards in the league. Then Factor in 6'6 Grant Williams. Not sure Mutombo could save that squad..

Ha! This was supposed to go to the game thread, where, even though it also has no meaning, it at least matches the vibe of the thread, lol.

That’s unexpected to say the least. He is working out well for them. Hope he can come back soon, but sounds like it’s bad enough to keep him out a while.

Draymond is so damn dirty and nobody in the Bay Area sees it at all lol. Mitchell gives an easy foul on him but when looking at what Draymond did to instigate they say “maybe gave Donovan Mitchell a little shove” lol.

And the Warrior announcers after 3 minutes of saying how Spider has to keep his cool (irony at its finest) are shocked he’s actually held accountable for his actions.

Awful. Recover soon, KOJ. Not a fan of his game, but this kinda blows for the Sixers.
