Using the season projections to gauge each team’s achievement would make sense, except that Houston had been projected to win 50+ the year before but due to Harden’s poor play to start the 15-16 season and chemistry issues they came up short, underperforming greatly.

They just traded for him mid-season but looks like he’s coming along nicely, definitely felt like Donovan should’ve sacrificed some defensive talent to sub in Doug late in the game when the offense stagnated worth the hack strategy.

No. Lou Williams is easily the top pick, great shot creator and spark plug that fits on any team in the league. I’d wager most would take Gordon, Ariza, Capela, and Pat Bev over Adams and Oladipo as well.

Yet they each posted career highs in various stats. Roberson definitely took a step forward this year, even by the eye test, so unsure what makes you include him. Very fair question, though.

Moses Malone 1982 Houston Rockets. Don’t @ me.

Doug McDermott and Abrines seem down to shoot, feel like they’ll be a bigger part of the offense next season.

That’d be great except that those very same people are shameless.

For all the talk about how Donovan should’ve taken him out earlier, they were down by 3 when it started and down by 2 when he subbed out, why not show confidence in your guy in that moment? Disregarding the laughs from the benchwarmers, Roberson’s overall play to that point had more than earned the benefit of the…

To be fair, hard to say how his offense would’ve developed w/o Chip Engelland and Pop getting Kobe to work with him.

How would that be better than what LA would offer? Why would Indy wanna take Aldridge back in exchange rather than young cheap pieces that can easily be moved or developed like a Dejounte Murray? And it’s not as if LA would be PG’s only suitor, so odds are they can get a better deal than that.

Underrated.

No way Bird takes that. A Spurs first rounder may as well be a 2nd rounder.

Lance was balling, though. Feel like if Game 3 hadn’t sapped PG and Turner’s energy, this would’ve been a game to take. Kyrie went full black hole mode.

GS-Pelicans says hello. That Steph corner 3 over Anthony Davis for OT was insane.

Will never understand why fans who sit courtside feel entitled to actually get in the face of and, in the case, touch players.

Lead in every stat for both teams, but I’m sure he “didn’t do anything to get them over the line” . And you say they “only” got to 6 as if Cleveland should’ve even gotten the series to 5 w/ Love and Kyrie out and GS completely healthy.

Probably because they’re either a) lazy groupthink person who doesn’t know anything except “sickz rangz” or b) someone who’s well aware of the advanced stats and other metrics that show Jordan, Bron, Wilt and a select others to be in a class of their own, and even within said class, Jordan stands out but admittedly…

I mean, you knew I was talking the 14-15 season, but my bad. And the record alone doesn’t show the difficulty of the games.

I don’t think Kings fans will be cool with winning the lottery but having to pick 5th or 6th, especially if the sixers get two picks.

Fack.
