    Thon Maker seems to be able to smh guard wings. I have never seen such a huge man be so agile and defend in space. The sample is very small and he doesn't know what he's doing in team D but still. If they embrace the tank it's possible to see some really weird lineups with Maker defending SGs and play as a PF in offence and GA defending PFs and playing as a PG in offence.
    Maybe when his legs become bigger than a chicken's he will stop being so agile.

    Celtics could be the #1 seed in the East.

    He's only like 21. Minny is going to keep getting better, especially with Thibs as their coach. I think Wiggins will develop into a Paul George type of player.

    Maybe he was scared off by the player comparison at nbadraft.net

    NBA Comparison: Corey Brewer/Michael Carter Williams

    I love Dekker. He has been a pleasent surprise. He could be better than Ariza by the end of the year.

    Game just started and Klay totally owned D'Angelo Russell. Stuffed his jumper, took the ball, led the fast break and passed to KD for the jam.

    I enjoy the Lakers being trash.

    Lakers won't be good because of their extreme youth but they have some very good pieces and will be good in years to come. Russell, randall, clarkson, and ingram are a solid core. Going to be interesting how they develop together because that's a ton of talent

    Portland looks pretty good against GSW. GSW is playing for real too.

    Curry and Lillard are two of the worst defenders I've ever seen. They try but they are trash.

    KD going off now. When the warriors big 4 is on the floor, they have the highest offensive rating and field goal percentage in NBA HISTORY
