Around The NBA - Week 5

Sprewell4Three · Post #281 » by **Sprewell4Three** » Fri Nov 17, 2017 5:43 am

Some of the players being discussed in this topic are really good. I mean I get that they don’t play on the Knicks so they automatically get downgraded but gotta give props where it’s due. Will any of them become future hall of famers? Who knows. But I think the NBA is in good hands with the new crop of young players.

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.

I never really watched Embiid till last night And to be honest that really isn’t the best game to judge his talent, but he is a problem. Simmons is good but the game changer is Embiid healthy for a prolonged period of time..

Joe sounds like a such cool dude.

Nice and funny pod.

KP sucks. Overrated.

Celtics usually give the Warriors trouble. I think the Celtics were one of the few teams that beat them during the 73 win season and they also took them to double overtime but lost that same year. They just seem to match up well with them.

Watch on YouTube

Kevin Durant yielded to the pressure. He peeked into the dojo of the Golden State Cobra Kai...and thought FEAR is the ultimate weapon but it's not. It's back bone when the odds are against you.

Holy Hannah. I went to work, thinking the Celtics would fall to the Golden State Cobra Kai but they did NOT...

Watch on YouTube

In the end, the C's were Daniel waiting for the Final Cobra to wear himself out so he could take him out with ONE move... :lol:

They have to get through the mighty Embiid and Simmons first. I figure they should be driving down the canyon of heroes any day now, based on comments in here.

Tatum is an example of a first year rookie reaching his peak. He doesn't scream franchise player . He's Allstar at best . Jaylen brown is way overrated. So horford is a career loser . They look good because of the coach . Not a scary team .

Hayward was back in the building for the first time, Brown was playing for his friend, team was playing for their streak and home crowd, GS took their foot off the gas and lost control. Boston is playing out of their mind right now, their own kind of team Linsanity.

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.

Embiid's knees are at least 10 years older.

Fans will change their tune on Embiid after we play them and he posts a pic of him dunking with his crotch in Frank's face and directs My Little Pony emojis at KP. All fun and games until...
