Wiggins has got the be the most effortless scorer in the league. It seems like he drops 25 points without even trying. That jumper is so wet.

He's averaging 27 PPG on 52% from 3

21 years old

Harden completely destroyed Lillard in their head to head matchup last night, he had his 3rd triple double of the season in only 3 quarters...my fantasy team is pleased

Anyone who's saying the T-Pups are a playoff team after destroying an inept team like the Sixers needs their head examined.

They have 2 future All-Stars, they just need to ship Rubio out, and let Dunn take over full-time.

Dunn still looks raw and seems like the game is too fast for him right now. I wouldn't rush to ship out Rubio just yet. Dunn has some ways to go before he is ready to handle starting PG duties. Just doesn't seem comfortable out there yet and might need a full year to kind of settle into the league.

Hot take alert:

1 game and already better than DRose has given us. :lol:

Hopefullu he sees how his brother is doing well here and he decides to leave Mardi Gras for Manhattan.

In all seriousness. Is there anybody here who wouldn't take this guy over DRose in a heartbeat?

I'd personally buy Rose's plane ticket (I'd get him 1st class too), or drive him down to New Orleans myself

Looks like Joerger is going to implement a small ball lineup of Cousins-Gay-Afflalo-Collison-Lawson moving forward. We will see how it goes.

I'm so glad we drafted in 2009 someone who shared the same position as our best players instead of taking any of the top PG prospects that were available, especially that we were running a system that relied heavily on good PG play.

Langston with 23 points against the Hornets with 2 mins remaining. Nice to see him playing well.

Neil Oshey did a podcast with Arnovitz. He was talking about how blowing a top 10 pick can really hamstring your franchise.

We got that lesson 1st hand.

No givens in team building.
