Around The NBA - Week 5

[Wolfgang630]

Sorry Boston's start is phony. The East is wide open but they're not winning a title. Brown and Tatum are good -- like them both, no diss on them. Kyrie, one Finals doesn't make me a big believer. I think he's a magician and tough in a close game but he's not dominant and he's questionable health.

Nobody said they’re winning it this year. They’re built for the future and they’re missing Hayward

I think KP and Embiid is a wash, not sure which one would win in 1v1

I wouldnt trade KP for Embiid straight up though, KP is 1 year younger

Embiid is def better right now. But yeah, KP has one year on him, and isn't a constant injury risk.

KP is even more than 1 year younger...like year and a half

I think KP is better at the moment until we can see embiid play at least 30 mpg

then it becomes a matter of who becomes better in the future. it's hard to believe that kp 1.5 years from now wont be better than current embiid who is arguably not even better than current KP

[SelbyCobra]

Harden currently has 21 points on 7 shots. Geeeezus.

Have to think there is more room for growth for KP, when he gets stronger RIP NBA

[Jay10]

The Rockets are trying to score 100 points in the first half.

KP has durability concerns too tbf

yea his strength and even coordination have a lot of room for growth

embiid already has all that. in order for embiid to catch up to porzingis he has to be a threat from everywhere like porzingis is

[SelbyCobra]

Damn, Jaylen Brown's best friend from high school committed suicide last night and he didn't want to even leave his hotel room before the game.

He is a threat too, you think KP is quicker than Embiid?

Right. Embiid can legitimately defend 1-5. I love KP and all, but let's not act like Embiid is not the real deal.

KP isnt quicker than embiid but he is better at scoring anywhere from the court.

[Iron Mantis]

Kyrie and company could be problematic. He's never been given his dues because he won with Lebron.

But let's not forget that he's still only 25 and that if it wasnt for him going ballistic in the finals, Cleveland would never have a ring.

Kyrie is legit considering his age. godlike handles and elite finisher...not to mention his range. he's a threat from everywhere

I'm not even that worried about the sixers. Embiid is going to get injured again and is overrated anyway. Simmons will be nice but he doesn't seem to have a really high ceiling.

The bucks have a better core with giannis and parker

Simmons is a walking triple double threat every night as a ROOKIE...he can only get better as he polishes his offensive game.

I still like KP better though.

Simmons is a "rookie" but he's already had access to nba resources for a year and is already 21...only a year younger than porzingis

simmons is nice but his game is already very polished and he shouldnt develop that much more physically. dont see his ceiling to be that high.

He is ahead of the game and can only get better...not merely by physical development...but by mastering his craft through hard work.

Dude is the future. It is what it is. Maybe the Knicks can nab him when he becomes an unrestricted free agent lol.

KP isnt quicker than embiid but he is better at scoring anywhere from the court.

Embiid is stronger but KP is taller, if they were going 1v1 in street KP could have get his shots off as easily too and I think relaxed foul rules would have helped KP

[El Poochio]

Houston scored 100 points in 1 half?

oh wait we are talking about 1v1 in street ball?

A tourny should definitely be included in All-Star Weekend Festivities
