If Ben Simmons was a SF he'd be Michael Kidd-Ghilcrist. He'd be a bust.

Also if Nic Batum was a PG he'd avg the same numbers.

dont quote me.

Bye.

Winning chips huh? Is Boston going to disappear? Cause from what I've seen they should hands down be the favorite in the east for the next few years. Which is what's left of PG's prime really. Like 4 seasons.

Do dudes want rings or bags?

 

[SupremeBeing5]

Simmons has a mismatch every time down the floor. He's no LeBron.

Just wait until he signs with us, he'll automatically be a bum via NT standards.

It started last year when clowns on here started calling him Black Gordon Hayward though.

bags

people stopped caring about winning a long time ago

they can put up a front but its a lie

The turn on PG has begun

Never thought he was that good of a player as people made him out to be. High point of his career was the dunk on bird man and that month of December where he was in the mvp conversation with bron and then fizzled out quick

I don’t want want to call a Mitchell a superstar yet. He’s got everything around him to set him up for success. Great scorer, plays hard but the playmaking isn’t there.

At least not yet.

Understand that. Foundation is there though. I think he needs to tighten up the handle, too open. But the kid has the tools and the mentality to match it. Kinda wanna say he's gonna be the best in the class but I'm still extremely high on Markelle and I think Tatum is real.

 

[youngwolf]

Mitchell had absolutely no business getting up for this put-back. Athleticism is through the roof.



******* ridiculous.

Didn't he go to 7 games in the conference finals with one of the best teams ever?


This same **** happened to Oladipo here last year and I told people to chill. Russ makes you half the player you really are.

PG is a really good player but I think this is about managing expectations. If he's framed as the savior of any franchise then he's destined to fail. The moment that he was connected with the Lakers his profile league-wide raised considerably and the hate began. No one hated him in Indiana.

His role would be completely different in LA. No more ISOs, no more standing around watching Russ dribble for 20 seconds.

Ball/25th pick
BI/Hart
PG/BI
Randle/Kuzma
Free Agent/Randle

Do lakers have their pick next year? They might have a worse record with PG leading them

He also got swept by bron while dipo took the Cavs to the brink. Pacers could’ve easily won that series before game 7 but bron went super beast mode

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Miami heat were really too heavy they arent like the spurs, warriors, celtics and other great teams.

Well... he wouldn’t be “leading” them.

thing is he did the same thing with indiana. He dissapeared for long stretches and him taking long twos because he isn't great at getting to the rim and his handles being below average is a weakness . He's best when he's the 2nd option on a good team. Not first option contender type dude .

 

[MajinZuub]

They won back to back, which none of the mentioned teams have done if we're talking about the modern era.

I definitely don't think he's a first option but I mean there's not a lot of legit first options in the league in the first place. Put him in a Brad Stevens system and I'm sure he'd be a totally different player.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Why am I caught up on a guy about to foul out after not even playing half the game?
Fouling a guy almost every other minute you’re on the court, putting the other team in the bonus is “solid” to you?

And we’ve seen Harden out of rhythm in the playoffs. Last night wasn’t close to that.

Uh, he shot horribly from 3 and didn't get double digit field goals. That's not too shabby, if you don't want to give all of the credit to exum for that that's fine. However exum contested a majority of hardens attempts when they were matched up

Yes exum did a solid job on him. 9-22 and 2-10 from 3 is not in rhythm

Nope the Sixers have the Lakers pick this year.

 

[dman14]

is kawhi vs PG still a debate?

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Nope the Sixers have the Lakers pick this year.

Im talking about when PG signs to the lakers and they get 22 wins

Obvious troll is obvious

They really should have 3peated but i still think they were top heavy
