I mean I'm not going to deny Westie hoards rebounds and can chuck at times, but have you seen his on/off #s and #s in the clutch this year?

OKC would be Brooklyn without him. He's not hurting his team this season.

No doubt he's great and I don't ignore those stats. But he can be overrated and I take KD over him ainec

I have a couple basketball futures I was curious whether I am drawing live on or not.

Celtics O52.5 wins
Pacers O45.5 wins

Am I drawing live on either of these?

I looked at the Pacers schedule and it seems tough. The Celitcs schedule doesn't look too bad, but I think they need to win 12 more games this year, which is a lot.

Celts are healthy and fighting for playoff positioning. Have finished the last 2 seasons strong down the stretch. I think that looks solid even if they are 1 game behind pace. Should be close.

Pacers doubt gets there. Would need to go 13-5 rest of the way and they're closer to a .500 team. Probably won't have a ton of motivation to win late in the year either besides trying to avoid Cle rd 1. Far behind pace.

Also, the Thunder are now 25-6 in games where he gets a triple double after they beat the Spurs tonight. Its not like him getting rebounds is hurting them.

The Thunder are 6-13 in games where Russ has 7 or fewer rebounds (including 1 win in 10 such games since Christmas). They're 3-9 in games where he has 6 or fewer assists.

I thought the Raptors would be a 7th-10th place team if they had to play without Lowry all year, but then they started to play worse than that with Lowry for a short period of time and gave up the 2 seed. Ibaka comes in and seems like a perfect fit, but without KL they are looking like a decent team again- only problems are those that would be fixed with Lowry, much better than I may have originally thought (defense looks really good). If Lowry returns healthy and shooting well I am curious to see how the team looks with Ibaka and Lowry playing together.

Correct. He's a co dependent ****ing loser

I'm interested in taking the field vs the cavs in a last longer bet. After watching the cavs they have no rotation whatsoever and lue is a mouthbreather. Not sure what current #s are but I'm sure cavs are favorites in the east by a good margin

I've never seen a team so reliant on one person. They're totally lost without him and have to play him an unreal amount of minutes to just stay in the game. They take him out and everything just collapses. Kyrie is beyond pathetic.

Kyrie Irving doesn't hit a game-winning three in Game 7 of the NBA Finals in the midst of LeBron disappearing for like 6 straight minutes down the stetch and Bron ends up with virtually no legacy.

Lol Kyrie haters

1:50 LeBron James blocks Andre Iguodala 's 3-foot layup 89 - 89

So sure, if you ignore the 6 straight points to take the lead with 5 min left and the game saving block with 2 min left...he disappeared.

BTW @Geoff it looks like Jok made it through part of shootaround, but Malone said he's "very" questionable. I think Boston -3 is less free and wouldn't bet it. Definitely wouldn't bet Denver's side even with the points.
