The outcome of this game should not be "surprising" to anyone who's watched these teams play over the last two years

Real spill.

LBJ clowning.. can't wait til he faces a good team to see if hes this joyful. 

You know his front running *** ain't :lol. Bron confidence level in the 09 season was the funniest sht in the world though. That video of him dancing, and Joakim getting HEATED was pure disrespect :lol.

I for one, think Okafor can be a better version of Cousins...sans the rebounding. Which I think he'll improve upon. Cousins was horrible as a defender coming in the league...and was in bad shape...and couldn't shoot. Jahlil has shown a nice touch on his jumper as well...and is further along than Cousins at the same stage offensively.

It's really hard to judge him right now...because he's on the Sixers....but it feels like everybody is so low on him because of the "New NBA". I mean, a realistic "floor" for him is Brook Lopez. He can be better than that.

It's not a stretch to think he can reach Demarcus cousins levels of defensive ability...or that he can be a consistent mid range shooter. I think you just build around Jahlil. But people are jumping out the window and acting like he can't be an effective NBA player. I don't buy it.

Cousins was a good defender in college, and just has better instincts, Boogies problem in the past was effort and fouling. Okafor wasn't a good defender in college, and has been titanically awful in the pro's way worse than rookie Cousins.

Also cousins is an incredible passer and was the minute he stepped into the league. Okafor is a black hole.


I don't see the Cousins comparison at all, other than the post game.


I don't even understand how you can call Lopez a floor. Lopez is an excellent shot blocker and at least provides rim protection in the right schemes, Jahlil can't give you that, Lopez can also shoot.

He gon be better than Lopez. :lol

I can see him scoring 25 a game at his peak. He'll be the PF version of Harden. All offense no defense.

A PF version of Harden is worse than Harden because PF's are way more integral to your defense, you can hide James Harden you can't hide a bad big man defender. Not sure way anyone would be confident he's going to be better than Lopez.

also Okafor is a C.

Lopez as a 20 year old rookie, has better numbers than a 20 year old Okafor. and gives you shooting and shot blocking that Okafor doesn't.

NBA players are heavy pot users.. when they fail a drug test its usually the real drugs . They mask it by saying "pot" since about 60% of america is ok with it. Hence doesn't look as bad on paper
 
at least the nba is getting away from the cocaine problem that they use to have


You really can't be a wrestling fan and not understand why people think it's sus :lol

what do you mean with that comment?

Center, PF it's the same **** nowadays.


Lopez average 13 and 8 as Rookie. Okafor 17 and. Lopez percentages are better but those ain't exactly better #'s.


His ceiling is way higher than Lopez to me. Lopez has never been a good rebounder for his size and postion. He's a decent shot blocker. Never been a top big man in the league.


I won't ever defend Okafor's lack of defense. Being a big man that doesn't play defense is a serious flaw but he'll be a force on offense. Something Lopez has never been. And I think he can at least average 10 rebounds a game. Something Lopez has never done.

Alex Len is probably going to be a top 3 big man in a few years

Wut? :lol

LOPEZ was a BETTER rebounder as a rookie than Okafor, he was a better rebounder in college, he is taller, heavier. what on earth makes you think that Okafor would be a better rebounder?

If you think Brook can't rebound then you must think Okafor can't either.

also

it's not the same, your position is who you can guard, Okafor can't guard any 4's who are mobile, or can shoot 3's which is like 80% of the PF's now.

He's a C.

Cousins wasn't no damn "good defender" coming out of college. Stop it :lol. He also shot poorly when he first came into the league...is still inefficient and turnover prone. Jahlil is a black hole...but his handle and vision are there. He can already hit the foul line jumper....and is taking bigs off the dribble routinely.

I think Jahlil can become an average defender overall if Demarcus Cousins can. That's definitely fair.

Nah. Lopez ain't a good rebounder for his size. Right now Jalil ain't either. I think he can develop into one. I might be wrong. Only time will tell. But he's definitely gonna impact games more than Brook damn Lopez. :lol
 
very few bigs want to learn and excel on the defensive end. hard work on the boards/defensive end should translate right away.
