***Official NBA Thread***

i agree with thompson, he should have made one of the all nba teams, should've ranked ahead of walker, westbook and irving

 

[andruid]

Damn shame it's gonna cost up to 50 million off his next contract

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

You can't disagree. Westbrook should not have been anywhere near All-NBA, for starters.

 

[nightprowler10]

Is KL the best player in the league right now?

 

[duffer]

yeah this was huge...and very well deserved!

The only other Nugget to have done it was David Thompson, who did it twice in the 70's. Monumental for this franchise.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Is KL the best player in the league right now?

My first instinct is to say no. He's definitely pushed himself into the top tier with Steph, KD and Giannis though.

 

[hendrix]

Think KD is the best to be honest, which is kinda hilarious

Think KD is the best to be honest, which is kinda hilarious

why is it hilarious?

 

[hendrix]

why is it hilarious?

Like I mean the fact that he joined a team to prove himself (i.e. gotta get a ring etc). It's already kinda unfair what he can do on a basketball court and then he still has to go chasing a ring signing to what was already the best team in the league without him.

 

[Anil]

understood, i agree...lebron, an even bigger talent had to do something similar for his first ring right (team up with wade and bosh)?

 

[Anil]

toronto draws first blood...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Should be a good series. Iggy looks like he could be hurt again which will make things tougher for them.

 

[andruid]

Siakam, Siago!

 

[Anil]

damn, now thompson has a hamstring injury...

 

[Anil]

looney out, klay questionable for game 3...at this point in the season, it is pretty common for teams to carry a lot of niggles and small injuries but what the warriors are going through is a bit extreme even by that criteria...

 

[Anil]

Yeah raptors poised to take back home court advantage...

 

[nightprowler10]

Curry is a beast.

 

[OverratedSanity]

He's also not going to be able to do this alone though. They had virtually zero scoring threat except for him.

 

[Anil]

if thompson and durant aren't back and reasonably productive for the next game, the warriors are going into a 1-3 hole and almost certainly going to lose the title...

 

[Anil]

Klay back for game 4...not sure that will be enough, they need KD as well...all signs point to a 4-1 victory for Toronto.
