THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[Nipsey3000]

Siakam on the list too

If you were the raptors GM and you traded siakam for luka , they'd fire you immediately

 

[spacedoodoo]

Active players right now that are better than luka
Lbj
Ad
Kawhi
Giannis
Harden
Embiid
Siakam
Lilliard
Westbrook
Jokic

Just to name a few...

Not even including curry and klay (injured)

Luka is on a roll, but there's a big difference between "there isn't 10 guys playing better than him" and "luka is a top 10 player in the world"

List is gross

Go to bed.

HOU$TON ya tried it tonight (good job. Good effort)....no dice . New Nuggets. **** rey get wicked outchea. Best in the West! I’m draggin all season. Y’all know wsup with me. Looking for opps. And I see y’all.

 

[lynchpin33]

This guy has zero idea how to play with any sort of control.

Looked like a right handed version of Julius randle. Out of control.

 

[HOU$TON]

Gg Denver, great defense forcing 20 turnovers

Clippers on Friday

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Active players right now that are better than luka
Siakam

If your argument is that 15 games doesn't make Luka top 10...what's the rationale for placing Siakam there?

 

[pmatic]

Wouldn't mind seeing the Rockets and Nuggets in the playoffs against each other. Contrasting styles would be interesting to watch play out.

 

[checks mcgee]

Imagine downplaying the brilliance of Luka

 

[antidope]

I didn't even want to argue against Siakim but you took it way too far with this one. Youre also contradicting yourself by including him and excluding Luka

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This time around I don't think Denver will try to lose on purpose to avoid Houston. Progress

 

[ahat]

Ya....I dunno bout Pascal

And that's my dude

 

[HOU$TON]

Denver looked great tonight and jokic doesn’t even appear to be in game shape yet. December 31st we’ll pay it back

There's a big difference between years of consistency and 14 games.

 

[JD617]

I see where both sides are coming from on this one. I agree that it takes a certain amount of time before calling someone the Nth best player in the league and November probably isn't the time. But obviously if we're strictly talking about this young season, only a few guys have been PLAYING better so far.

(Also, Russ doesn't belong on any top X player list at this point.)

This hill isn't worth a sprained ankle, let alone dying on

 

[Lizakers]

Paul George is ridiculous, so talented

but I’m still tryna find ONE ***** rockin clippers gear in these streets. Where y’all be hiding?

Pascal Siakam. Years of consistency.

 

[MajinZuub]

There's a big difference between years of consistency and 14 games.

Siakam has years of consistency?

 

[freeze]

There's a lot of Celtics fans at this clippers home game


Lil bro

 

[noblekane]

this a surprisingly good game. might be a finals preview

why the **** are the fans louder for the celtics than the clippers? everybody from bostom move to cali or what?

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Siakam has years of consistency?

I'm really interested to hear the explanation for this.

It's like he rattled off 9 names and had to throw in a 10th and didn't think the logic through

I agree. I think most of us would be hesitant with the universal praise... but when you got guys from MLGA and ALA heaping similar superlatives you kinda have to note that something's happening here

 

[frink85]

All them east coast Bill Simmons type transplants out at staples tonight
