damn man, this was a special type of post right here.

Emphasis on 'special'

I just want to reiterate that westbrook has played with KD, harden, paul George, melo, and Oladipo and hasn't won a championship.

dont forget jeff green and reggie jackson.

Has Colin Cowherd taking Jason whitlock's spot as the worst Sports talking head?

This is an expert troll list

 

[Based Jesus]

It all makes sense now.

 

[jc619er]

He's great but he can be inconsistent. He can afford to have 8 pt games every now and then because he plays with Curry and Durant. I wouldn't want him to be my #1 guy where I have to rely on him to get me 25 every night. And like I've said with Durant, it's easy to play ultra-efficient basketball when you're not the primary guy opposing teams are game planning against they can never afford to double team you (pause)

All this right here. He's no doubt a great two-way player and an exceptional defensive player, but his offense looks incredible because he's the third option on a team with the two best shooters in the game. So he gets left open constantly and just runs off screens one on one all day long. If he was the number one guy his stats wouldn't look like they do.

So you don't have an answer. Or is your answer deflection?

Why didn't the principal showcase his prowess teaching?

I think Klay would have excellent stats as a #1 option. Would that team win? Probably not too much.

somebody reported my sleepover post?

 

[nerdymcflyguy]

Ben Simmons top 10 in the league? LOL. That “expert” is a sicko lol. Ben is a Solid player but c’mon bruh. Top 10 in the WORLD???? Hahaha

not at all. hes reminds me of ray allen but ray ray didnt just shoot in his day. klay cant create for himself , cant dribble really. he'd be a jj reddick on steroids . he couldnt handle them first option problems

I call it the Kevin Love Theory. If Kevin Love is your best player, you're winning no more than 30 games. If Kevin Love is your second best player, you're probably a playoff team and if Kevin Love is your third best player you're a championship contender. If somehow he's your fourth best player your Far and Away the best team in the league.

I feel the same way about Klay Thompson. If he's your number one guy he's going to put up 25 points per game and you're going to be a perennial Lottery team.

I meant in the hypothetical scenario where they build the offense around feeding him as many shots as possible. I think he could get a lot of points. I don’t think it would be winning ball though.

 

[freakydestroyer]

I don't think Colin's list is that far off, besides Ben Simmons. A few of the others can switch orders and it will look realistic.

Not to nitpick, but the Wolves won 40 games in the 13-14 season with Love as their best player. I'd say somewhere around .500 is probably the ceiling for that kind of player.

Ready for the NT lulz tonight


#shouldnotbeyourGOAT

 

[Lovetohate3000]

going to miss the 2nd half of the game tonight. ill record it and watch it later if the score makes it look worthwhile.
like always , playing ball> watching it.

 

[P C H]

I don't think Klay could get to 25 a game as a number one. Not close. Even w/an ultimate green light where the team is feeding him shot after shot.

But so what, he's in a great situation and he's really really good.

 

[junglejim]

Cavs are taking this game too. Celtics are way to up and down on the road

What if Mike Dantoni was the coach

 

[B Sox]

Cavs probably going to win tonight. Celtics just can't seem to put it all together in these road games.

 

[freakydestroyer]

trying to jinx the Cavs

 

[dragicon]

The last day of posts in this thread has been some of NT's finest

 

[Mr Dink]

Brad been in the lab. Celtics got this.

 

[casper90403]

I'm taking Celtics +7 tonight. I feel like this is a 4-5 point type of game.
