SAC competing against BOS tonight.
ThreeArrowBusto,

What do you think about Kings futures?

DK: 120-1
FD: 160-1

Any value at 160-1? (I tend to think so.)

West is fairly wide open this year and I'm not particularly confident in Clippers/Warriors. If Kings reach WCF I could also hedge the other 3 ways for auto profit.

KD is just a cheat code.

Yep. Some plays where he just rises up from his "spot/s", no one can contest the shot. Why doesn't he just do that EVERY SINGLE TIME!?

He Never should've left the Warriors. But I guess gotta give him credit for not rigging more championships?

McLovin', Hali: 21/6/15 0 Turnovers. There's your MIP. Don't @ me

If Wiggins is really this good of a 3-Pt shooter with Chef Curry, he's probably the most underrated player in the NBA. A fringe All-Star. A hypermegaelite role-player with the skill to iso, the length and strength to guard top perimeter scorers, and enough shooting to effectively space. Playing the most important position in the L and in excellent shape, capable of logging 40+ minutes if need be.

I wonder what his 3PT splits look like with Steph off the court.

~0 value. Sabonis would get ruthlessly exposed in 2nd Round/WCF. You're basically hoping for injuries.

Another insanely good player as long as he's nailing 3s: Derrick White. He's a game-changing defender.

A healthy Time Lord + good health from everyone else and the Celtics will dogwalk the rest of the L to a title this year.

Yeah it's pretty much LOCKED UP for Hali.

Pacers' MIPs have a tendency to suffer bad injuries after winning. I say give it to SGA while I get too appreciate a healthy Hali.

BEN FOR RotY and/or 6MoY tho

Players going from year 1 to year 2, or year 2 to year 3, etc should rarely receive MIP.

Dumb award but it's obviously Markkanen.

He led the Warriors in 3 point percentage last year so cant imagine he could keep shooting around 40%.



Steph's on/off currently at +31.2 per 100. Not sure what the record is for a player.

He's mostly +31.2/100 because the Warriors have the worst (by far) bench in the league.

Nothing to brag about imho.

Speaking of LEAGUE PASS. It's currently on Black Friday sale for 50% off for the rest of the season. $49.99 is a steal if you're someone like myself that lives outside of the local area of your favorite team and/or just loves to watch a bunch of random games.

Looks like my days of sailing the high seas are over...

Ah, so because I might stream my sports it now means I'm not okay with paying for a product I enjoy. Good rhetoric Mr. Fidstar.

Jazz now lost 7 out of their past 9.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Says Evan Mobley 'Can Be Better Than Me'

Giannis Antetokounmpo had high praise for Evan Mobley after his Milwaukee Bucks dispatched the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

“He can be better than me,” Antetokounmpo told cleveland.com about Mobley. “I don’t see why he can’t. It’s up to him. I will always try to improve. Every day. But he has the skill set to be a very, very good player. He’s 7-feet tall. He can move really well. He can shoot. He is very smart. As you said, he watches tapes of other players, which is very, very good for a young player. If he takes this seriously, he is going to be great.”

Antetokounmpo added that it's just a matter of time before Mobley is one of the best players in the league. Antetokounmpo also expressed appreciation that Mobley said he looks up to the Bucks star.

“I did it myself, looking up to other players, trying to make my game like theirs. But at the end of the day, everybody is unique, and everybody has a unique game. You try to take as much as you can from the person and apply it to your game and kind of form your own,” Antetokounmpo said. “For me, it’s a great compliment. Evan has a bright future. If he keeps working, he’s going to be really good. He plays the right way. He plays hard. He does everything for his team to win and they have been winning more. He has the skillset. He has the body. It’s just a matter of time until he figures out the game, what he can do and how good he can be. I see the thirst and hunger from him.

“It’s just a matter of time until he has a breakout season and becomes one of the best power forwards in the league.”

I'll go on record with zero chance Mobley is ever as good as Giannis.

Giannis is just a really positive guy. A true Sagittarius

Oh wow this forum is old can't even do modern emojis lol

Don't look now but SHAI is now a better asset than both PG and Kawhi combined.

Games yesterday/today tell me a lot about teams' preparation and leadership. Mavs facing MIL tonight on a b2w after a tough loss v Tor. Lal gutting out 5 of 6 wins, including huge performances from an ailing AD, a recently returned LeBron, and weathering a b2b without AD. Very impressive.

A lot of people owe the Suns an apology as well. Tied with Bos for the best point differential in the L despite suffering tons of injuries.
