OKC starters doing a great job covering for Roberson's extended absence: PG13 and Grant really ramping up the defence and Westbrook missing all the FT's and 3's.

TZ points incoming

Grant has been very impressive this season. Without a doubt a major reason why the Thunder have been winning so much. I've been following him pretty closely because he is great to use in DFS. He has become a better version of Ariza at this point.

The stats:
8.6M this season and 9.3M next

24 yrs old and is 6'9 with a 7'2 wingspan

11 ppg 5 rb and is shooting 39 3P% on 3 attempts per game.

More importantly he is great on the defensive end. Can switch across multiple positions. Seems like he is all over the court. Just about the perfect role player. Hopefully his shooting improvements are here to stay.

It's part of the underratedness of Russ, the type of player that can be supremely valuable in a lineup involving him.

Curry is really just on another level.

52-50-93 on 10.7 3PA (2P-3P-FT)

Nice visual of how much better Steph is than the rest.

So is CP3 actually washed? I've only caught like four of their games, but he really appears to have aged a decade in the last year

how many west teams' realistic best case scenario this year is exactly losing to the warriors in WCF? i count 9 but maybe that's low.

Depends which stats you look at.

I haven't watched Simmons this year.

Simmons is fine this year. It’s gonna be tough for his stats to go up significantly with jimmy and embiid playing next to him. Ben needs to work on his jumper but his ts% has jumped. He’s still young. His d is still very elite.

I’m not sure if he’ll ever be an mvp candidate but they already have one in embiid.

Simmons sucks and is useless in the 4th quarter and the playoffs. Yeah sure he's young but that's where he's at right now. He STINKS

Ben Simmons gets TrIpLe DoUbLeS with 10% higher efg% and better defense than your mans (who got waxed by a social studies teacher in the playoffs because he spent an entire game ignoring the thunder defensive scheme and chasing rubio around the floor)
