I reckon Doncic is the most popular player in teh NBA

 

[peternorth]

BOBAN WITH THE SHOULDER SHIMMY

 

[DT_35]

lol calm down Montrez, nothing in that

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Contentious

Nah, for the conversation about dominant big men and titles he'd be the last.

The fact that he was technically playing PF at the time makes it all the more amazing in 2020 - imagine the lack of spacing.

 

[peternorth]

Boban dominating

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

To be fair, it was a horrendous call

Yeah true, but he had a pop at the ref before as well.

Look I am a big fan of Luka, just not a fan of players/stars who constantly gob off at refs.


Anyhow he is winning me back this quarter. Doncic's Hoops IQ is off the charts.

If refs T'd up everyone who complained it would stop them! though wouldnt be enough players to finish the game.

dont boston players complain?

For someone not quick, explosive he just finds the right spots. amazing player

But there a few guys that fit into a similar category as Duncan. Bosch for example, Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol.

Unlike all of those 4 (including Duncan) Embiid has no claim to be considered a power forward. He is an out and out centre.

Can we expect Brad Stevens to bench Marcus Smart now?

Embiid's got greater shooting range than Duncan ever did though.

And KG started as life as a small forward. Gasol was a finesse player and second banana, ditto Bosh.

Even if we were to leave aside 2014, the 2007 Spurs were the last championship team built around a dominant big.

So we start of the game smoking them in the first quarter. The coaching god in Brown decided to pull a master stroke and put in Neto. Not only that he decides to put Horford in with Embiid after Joel was dominating.

Yet apparently the coach isn't the problem. He has no killer instinct. He just lets the game drift on. He never calls timeouts when a team gets on a run. Usually calls one way too late. But hey not a bad coach guys.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Still astonished the Knicks gave up the Unicorn for

Has to be an all time top 10 worst trade.

Not quite on the same level as Red Auerbach fleecing the Warriors for Robert Parish and Kevin McHale or the Lakers trade Vlade Divac for the rights to Kobe Bryant but still it stinks.

Which emphasises the point - a dominant centre has not been the key piece of a championship roster for 13 years.

Parker, Ginobilli and Kawaii dominated 2014. Duncan was very good but no longer the kingpin.

Anyone gonna get this jersey?

I agree, it has been a long time.

Before Duncan, I'd guess you'd say Shaq in 2002. Don't really count Miami Shaq, he was more role player.

the Lakers trade Vlade Divac for the rights to Kobe Bryant but still it stinks.

That trade is a bit of a fallacy though.

this guy: if only the sixers had a coach that could call timeouts then everything would be fineeeeee

Doc Rivers looks like Hans Moleman these days lol

 

[DT_35]

Lol get up Porzingis you idiot

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Ooh Luka's 5th foul could be a game changer.

 

[DT_35]

Dumb as s*** Luka

 

[danielnajdek]

Btw we waived Trey Burke and kept Raul Neto.

Another great decision.

Wtf are you talking about.

I honestly don't think you watch the games. We are up by double digits and the other team gets it down to 6-8 points and Brett just stands there with his arms folded looking like a stunned mullet. Instead of calling a TO he waits until the scores are lvl. It has happened multiple times. He has no idea.The fact you are still defending him says it all.

 

[Mazza1234678]

Kawhi playing like a man possessed in the bubble

Makes sense given this would be no different to his day to day life lol

always fun going through the achieves looking back at trades gone wrong (or draft picks)!


Why didnt trey work in philly?
