However, Detroit seems to have the best center tandem - Duren and Isiah Stewart. Durent the better rebounder, Stewart gets more blocks. Both steady 11 pt or better scorers with Duren up to 17 this season. Given KAT's little D policy and MItch's injury history, kind of an iffy wash.

Chicago -- Was absolutely amazed to check out Vucevic's stats history. (always get him confused with the former Raptor center). Guy is 35 and his stats are steady great since coming in the league in 2011. Reliable 20 pts 10 rebs or similar every year. How is it this guy doesn't get more recognition? Does his D stink? Regardless, they're on the top at the moment, probably largely because of him.


Vucevic offers limited rim protection and his defense in space is ass too.


100% agreed but just want to add that it seems like the Bulls can get away with that better with different personnel and Sacramento decided to try the same thing with Lavine/DD/Sabonis.

These quick takes (which I don't dispute;don't know enough) gave rise to the thought - what makes Vucevic better than say, Enes Kanter, who also posted double doubles here but had bad D?

They should have made it count in the real playoffs; like an extra bump up to a home series or something. Just more money for millionaires means nothing to folks.

It is tempting and somewhat pleasing to see such a result, but at the same time so unhealthy and certainly your downfall. If you’re betting on a person you’ve never met to total less than two rebounds in a game of basketball that doesn’t mean ****, you have lost control of your life. It is absolutely pathological.

It will be gone soon. Nobody has ever cared. It’s just such a pathetic idea.

To spice up the league, they should simply make games count and reduce the number of games played. Make teams play each other twice, then go to the playoffs. It’ll be twice as intense.
