Like MCW, Nerlens in his sophomore year is playing a lot trashier, on offense is playing like if Bismack tried to force 10ppg. Sixers player development at work

Wolves were my go-to NBA2K MyCareer team before this year as they needed a proper starting C in the worst way.

Add a little fantasy tinkering, bringing back Kevin Love? championship team :nod:

This Dallas team: 8-4. Dirk 23 on 9-14 shooting against Boston's all forwards team.

If people find DD frustrating to watch, I have no idea how anybody can tolerate Harden.

Painful basketball. Rockets losing to the Blazers at home.

Something needs to be done about this ref problem. Horribly biased against the Raps two straight games.

I just don't see it. Drummond looks like a top 5 Center for years and maybe he'll become a top 10-12 player overall but they have below average starters at the other 4 spots. They still have Josh Smith on the books for 2 more years and they let their 2nd best player, Monroe, walk out the door with nothing to show for it.

Even at 6-5 they haven't been all that good this season. They're 28th in offensive efficiency, 27th in 3FG% and 30th in assists. Offensively they've been dreadful but they've stolen a couple of games with their Defense and they rebound well because of Drummond.

I still don't see them making the playoffs this season.


Reggie Jackson and Demar Derozan are very similar players when looking at what they bring... a somewhat inefficient 20 PPG. The bonus for Detroit is, Reggie is locked into a long term contract that will soon be a bargain price where DD is going to get PAID soon. Reggie is a year younger.

Marcus Morris brings a lot of what DeMarre Carroll brings, but once again Marcus is locked into a longer contract that is a bargain. Marcus has been scoring 15 a night and grabbing 6 RPG and he is three years younger than Carroll.

And you are right, they've shot the ball horribly from outside so far this year and yet they've managed to pull out some wins with some gritty defense.

You keep telling yourself that while the Raps are ranked 3rd In Offensive efficiency and the Pistons 28th. Lots of similarities between these 2 teams for sure.

I made no comments about the Raptors, I was just assessing the Pistons who looks severely flawed to me. But since you brought it up, im not in love with the Raps roster either. I predicted 43 wins for this bunch.
