the final second of Bucks Vs Celtics is mega LOL... mega ;D

Holz

the only thing stopping the cavs in my mind is this

Lebron James

2013: 40.6% 3pt
2014: 37.9% 3pt
2015: 34.4% 3pt
2016: 27.0% 3pt

based on his number of shots taken this year he has lost 0.5 points a game just from this. Not only that but missed 3 pointers can often lead to fast break points against.

he was turning into a great outside shooter im not sure what happend.

I see your point on Kyrie's fantastic ability to create his own shot, Holz. And that video is very impressive - not many guys can do that. But Draymond does other really important things on offense too. Have a look at this article.. http://uproxx.com/dimemag/draymond-green-4-on-3-stephen-curry-warriors/

It's incredible, he has such a high offensive IQ, makes the correct decisions whether to shoot or pass, and executes it well. I don't think Kyrie has that in him. Kyrie isn't close to the facilitator or offensive cog that Draymond is. They both do such different things well so it's hard to say who is better but my point is just that it's closer than you think.

Yeah this was bad. Coming back from 18 down with 8 minutes to go was very impressive, and then President Stevens drawing up a sick out of bounds play where Kelly got the foul  - made two huge free throws. But then down the other end was just a complete mental lapse. Why go for the steal when the other option is a contested turn around over two defenders.

Id take Draymond over Kyrie anyday of the week

Draymond's style of play only helps a team

Kyrie's style is out dated, iso ball is all but dead when it comes to winning championships, cant defend and halts ball movement

Conversation 2
I was shocked after the bone head foul by the Bucks and it's effect that the Celtic's would unravel like that

why's that?
I don't know much about the incident mind you - i'd read he'd injured his own hand/arm??

Holz

Sixers really need to move on Noel,

surely you could get quite abit for a rim protector.

with him out and Okafor the paint all to himself has put up 26 points 10 rebounds 5 assits 2 blocks with 5 minutes to go against demarcus cousins.

apparently have offers for both guys but they are waiting on the health of embiid.

Jay

Chris Paul, still a point god.

elephants

Leonard saving Spurs from going to OT against the Magic after a massive 3 from Fournier.

Jay

Chris Paul is having the best game I've seen all season.

Oh and news flash, Lance is still a complete knucklehead :P hit a three, trash talked everyone on the Celtic bench and whinged when he got a tech.

They are more likely to move Jah if Embiid gets healthy. Noel since the arrival of Ish smith leads the league in FG%, is active on the defensive side of the ball with blocks and steals and is actually a decent passer for a big guy. Jah is a better post up player and his moves are insane in the law post for a rookie, but Embiid is a similar player with better range. They argue that Jojo is the 6'ers best 3pt shooter but he hasn't been on the court yet, this means he can probably play that stretch 4 because teams have to respect his outside shooting ability and it allows Noel to play the 5. Again, this all depends on the health of Embiid, if he can't get healthy they keep both and figure out a way to make it work with a 3 man rotation involving Saric.

ISAIAH FREAKING THOMAS! Dude is a fantastic player

Overtime.

Holz

Irving just put up

35 points on 62.5% FG with 3/6 3 pointers and 7 assits.

Green better have a huge second half coming off 8 points last night  and 6 points almost halfway through the 3rd.

they are not close offensively.

But Draymond on offence > Kyrie on defence

So taking your assumption that Kyrie is a top 5 offensive player and Draymond is at worst a top 5 defensive player then overall they are very verrrryyyy close in terms of value.
