2014 Playoffs - Geaux CP3

I think of ryno as more of a mid 3rd rounder if the league was round robin today. Maybe a little later w the injury. He's a complementary piece, not foundational which is what I define rounds 1 and 2 as.

You are under the assumption that you can still get foundational pieces in the mid - late 2nd. I don't think there are 50 foundational pieces in the entire NBA. If there were there would be no need for players to form "super teams" by taking pay cuts and joining the same team. The biggest problem with the NBA right now is the lack of elite talent. If every team had two foundational players the league would be far more competitive.

You're under the assumption you can't. There's a lot of guys I take over ryno. I love the guy but he wouldn't even be the second guy of take on the pelicans.

I never said there weren't a lot of guys I take over him. There's at least 40. And most likely he's closer to the 50 end to me.

As far as the Pelicans go, I think we have one of the best core 4s in the entire league. Injuries hurt us this year, not lack of good players.

Yeah 50's -70's I think is fair for sure.

But injuries have changed our core 4. We don't know what Anderson we are getting back. Injuries (like war) changes a man.

This is where I would place him as well. I come off as if I'm not a fan of Ryno's but that's not the case. I just like to look at things with an unbiased perspective and my unbiased opinion is that he's not top 50. He's an important piece to the Pels and I hope he comes back at full strength.

My argument was pre injury. If you want to say Ryno won't be the same we will have to see. Every player is unique. I tend to believe it will take time but he will make a full recovery.

Well Hibbert looks ready to play tonight. Has 7 points in the first 6 minutes.

What year is this? Why is Sprite STILL playing that Drake commercial?

Is it me or does TNT do a terrible job at actually showing what is happening on the court? Meaning, they rarely show replays of critical plays such as fouls, or at least what was called a foul... It would be nice to get a slow mo view of the play to judge for myself. Is this a way to keep the criticism off the refs?

Perkins is turrible...

Just pulled a Super Bowl.

I like this Adams kid. He might be the steal of this draft.

Who was it last year (around this time) that said Adams wasn't ready to play in the NBA and that he would soon be a wash out? I would like to shake that mans hand and say "I'm never taking your advice."

Never a good thing to gloat especially this early into a players career. If you evaluate enough prospects you'll be wrong enough to know nobody is right all the time.

I had to make this

I love this. Dude is all business but he's got the rings to back it up. I'm pulling hard for the Spurs.

I am not gloating, if anything I am celebrating the fact that there is a big man out there giving to the Clippers what they are so fond of taking advantage of. I hope he keeps it up and we can see Griffin/Jordan/ or CP3 get thrown out of a game.

I'm pulling hard for the Wizards. Beal is gonna be a great player in this league for the next decade. I really hope they can knock out these drama queen Pacers.

Yea it's just ridiculous. Their path to the finals will be by far the easiest.

Man, these two series are a drag. I guess now I know what night I can take off from watching basketball....and who honestly thought the Netw were anything more than the 9th or 10th heat team in the west. These geriatrics aren't built to play outside of a YMCA Rec league.

Those same geriatrics gave us our most humiliating defeat of the year though.

We had a lot of humiliating losses this season, you will have to remind me which one they dished out.

I would love to see spurs v clippers. That would be an interesting pairing.

Ugh, give me the old guard vs the new, Spurs Thunder.

These two teams are awful to watch. So so bad at making baskets.

Oh yeah, basketball is a thing, isn't it?

The final score (whatever it ends up being) is not indicative of just how damn ugly this game was to watch. Shades of that Butler NCAA championship game a couple years ago.

It's almost as if the 1st round was too good and the league decided to take some back the next round.

At least the Thunder are winning and the Clipper bigs are getting rear ended.

I want either the Spurs, Thunder, or Pacers to win it. I still dislike CP, and I cannot stand most of the people on the Clips already.

I can't be happier to see Chris Paul get knocked out once again. Screw that cry baby I hope this continues until he retires. That's literally what you get, scrub.

Spoke too soon. Hatin' don't pay

WoW
Great clutch plays by Darren Collison.

Man it hurts to see these guys, I for nothing but respect for cp3, collision,thorthon, and West. They doing their thing.

Westbrook always trying to be the man, you have the best player in the league on your team, pass the ball.

Doug Collins hit the nail on the head about this game. When they switched Paul on Durant they were just standing around trying to get the ball to Durant for 12 seconds then Westbrook just tried to drive every time.

Westbrook singlehandedly will win you games and lose you games. I still don't understand the MVP not taking the last shot.

Does Westbrook honestly think he is the guy?

I'm happy to see former Hornets be successful in the playoffs, but it pisses me off at the same time. We've had these guys on this team just a few years ago...Smh!

I think Westbrook did wonderful up until the last 2 minutes. He took a bad shot then another one to close the game. To be fair, Durant just ran to the side and just kinda stood there; but I'm sure he'd heard that song before and knew he wasn't getting the ball. Westbrook has to be the most incredibly frustrating player to be a fan of. Also, i thought that could they called when he pinned Collisons ball was a horrible horrible call as well as the no call on BG. Those two plays had a pretty large impact.

LeBron plays on the team with Westbrook?

I was thinking the same thing

I'm watching LBJ play and I'm convinced that if he wanted to, he could lead the league in scoring every year. It's comes so easy to him. When the shot is falling, he's deadly. When the shot isn't falling, he takes you in the post. He can drive but if you double him, he'll get double figure assists. He's an incredible player

Nah KD and Curry if they wanted to could be. If Durant wanted to he could score 40 a night hands down. If he left Russell out of the picture Durant would score 40 points every night. LBJ, could he lead the league if he tried and Durant didn't? Sure. But if both players try equally hard to score as many as possible I take KD all day. I would even take Curry and Harden over LBJ for scoring bc they can shoot 3's.

That's the thing. I think KD tries to win it. LBJ doesn't try and he's Ben said that he doesn't try to win it

LeBron is shooting 38% from 3 this year on four attempts a game.

I hate bigs that shoot 3's. Bosh needs to get underneath the basket where he belongs

Going to MIA was the worse thing for Bosh's personal game. He needs an offense that runs through him to really play at his full potential.
