You have biggest knee jerk reactions in this furom. It has been FIVE games. Want to bet where his avg end up?

[naturalborn103]

Two side notes. Harden just had two games vs. Iggy and then Tony Allen. Welcome to being 1st option.

Rondo defense as lazy as ever.

[capable_keL]

between this game and the nets comeback how can u not be excited for the prospect of love/rubio playing with these guys damn. minny might shock the world and fuck around and pull a memphis corca hubie brown's shane battier/pau gasol teams

we loook like a european team, the way we move the ball. our bench is so deep.

reminicent of 2005-6 Spurs

[Reason]

rondo defense is below aberage.


right now jrue is playing at 6th place mvp level. he is carrying that team

jrue gives rondo fits. if bradley comes back and stays healthy, he'll check jrue and take the heat off rondo. a bit concerning that philly seems to own us w/o bynum, but celts bench/newcomers are looking lost. i have confidence that doc can pull this shit together.

i thought natty was right about jrue's #s...not many guys go from 4.5 to 10 assists in one season. i see him putting up 15-4-7.5-2. i drafted him in a couple leagues, so i'd be a happy/wealthy man if he can avg 9+ assists/game.

[Reason]

i was wrong about philly maybe. i bet em under 48 wins

[capable_keL]

most exciting thing to happen to minnesota since the twins lost to the yanks in the ALDS

from espn mag nba preview issue:

[naturalborn103]

Wanted to make own thread for this, but decided against it. Starting a franchise today who you rather have as center piece? Irving or Davis?

Its a shame neither of them on national tv more .

[naturalborn103]

Is it knee jerk reaction to think Irving 2nd best pg in league? I know his D is terrible, but hes amazing on offense.

Yes, too soon. I'm all the bandwagon, but he's got some work to do on D and getting his teammates more involved.

[Julius Seizure]

Hard to answer that with the brow only 10 quarters into his nba career. Its a tough call. Kyrie seems a little fragile. It really comes down to whether you want to build around a pg or a big. I think great, fundamentally sound, two-way bigs are harder to find and easier to build around. Davis has a chance to be an impact player on both ends of the floor, like a duncan or a KG. Kyrie is phenomenal and might end up being the best PG of this generation, but there are a lot of other very good pgs. We haven't seen enough of davis yet, but I'm leaning on that direction. I see his ceiling at 25-12-3-3.5-1+ with the kind of intangibles that don't necessarily show up in boxscores.

I think his assist numbers more to do with horrible supporting cast then not getting them involved.

i love kyrie since tweak and i were touting him as chis paul deuce although he is looking more like cp3 If Paul were bigger and more of a scorer

but The answer is Anthony Davis easily...there are several players rival Kyrie's skill set but there are literally no players who have Anthony Davis' exact combo of skills AND size/length nh

but You guys probably would have guessed that I would pick Davis because I always pick big over small (nh) when all things r considered equal or close to it

[VideoKilledThe]

Yep, gotta take Davis.

[naturalborn103]

Reason, you think you could call Irving top 2 pg yet?

You got selective memory or something? Your wet dream partner has torn ACL and who knows how he comes back.

[stupidregister]

To start the game, Carlos Boozer has missed 2 layups and given up 2 offensive rebounds.

[Reason]

holy shit. same old raptors. outscored 32-7 in the 2nd quarter. from up 6 after 1 quarter to down 19 at the half.

hmmm

i'm not ready to relinquish deron's spot

and if d-rose is the same as he always was post-injury, i'm putting kyrie 4th

and if russell weren't a fucking retard he'd bet 4th

but kyrie will be a top 2 pg if not the best in a couple to few years
