| Was Iggy that good? Didn't follow the finals so close |
guywholikesanime said: Was Iggy that good? Didn't follow the finals so close he guarded Lebron and help in team assist and points too, last years finals MVP was given to Kawhi Leonard who guarded Lebron too and was also helping the Spurs on offense |
| Yeah...but in the offense he didn't help as much as Curry or laat year Kawhi imo |
| maybe they give too much credit on the fact he guarded the best player in the world right now |
| he averaged 20 points in games 4-6 where they won so he definitely helped. |

| Congratulations to the Warriors for having one of the best seasons in a long time. Man, I still remember watching the 2009 Draft and seeing Curry being picked 7th by the Dubs and the Knicks (who were very, very interested in the future MVP) frantically choosing Jordan Hill right after. ooo333 said: Koukyoshi said: Iggy definitely deserved the Finals MVP. I love LeBron but 2-6 in the finals is gonna get it done. Well, he deserves half credit for the 2007 Finals. 2.5 - 5.5 If he deserves half credit for the 2007 Finals (I don't know why, it was a sweep), then he deserves half credit for the 2013 Finals (*cough* you know what I mean). |

| It seems that the rumor of a new logo design for the Clippers was true. Damn it looks like someone's five year old had a hand in this one. 5/10 |
| But does it come with Windows 10? |

guywholikesanime said: Was Iggy that good? Didn't follow the finals so close Igoudala played well throughout the entire finals, I can't say the same for Curry though. He had a rough Game 2 and most of 3; though I will give him credit for that complete turnaround in field goal percentage for the the second-half of Game 3. Igoudala was the Warriors' biggest factor in that series. He definitely showed up. |

| Man, I can't believe I never thought to check if MAL had a thread for this until the day after the finals. >.> 6Man said: guywholikesanime said: Was Iggy that good? Didn't follow the finals so close Yea he was good, but its mainly because he was put in the perfect position to succeed when dubs went small ball and had Iggy at the 4/5 with Mozgov guarding him. Its unfortunate that a true MVP didnt win the award.... (im looking at you curry) but Iggy definitely deserved it Sort of my general take on Iggy winning MVP. While I did want to see Curry hoist that trophy, I think the pieces fell all into place in the end for Iggy, especially due to how he performed in Game 6 to seal the deal. He flat-out was the most consistent throughout the whole finals (including his bad FT shooting...lol). I have no complaints with him winning finals MVP in the end. |

| Also, just looking at the start date of this thread, is a new thread gonna be created the day of the draft? O.o |

JustALEX said: ^Just move the team out of LA already.... The city has demonstrated it can support two teams. I don't see any reason to change the status quo. Especially if I'm Steve Ballmer and paid $2 billion for the team because it was in LA not that long ago. |

JustALEX said: ^Just move the team out of LA already.... I really want them to move back to my city, San Diego, but I doubt it will happen even though I'm a Lakers fan. |

OtakuWithGlasses said: JustALEX said: ^Just move the team out of LA already.... I really want them to move back to my city, San Diego, but I doubt it will happen even though I'm a Lakers fan. Pretty much no chance the Clippers move to a market like San Diego until a team like the Bucks tops $2 billion in team value. Anyone else in draft mode mentally? I've spent the bulk of the last two months worrying that GM Flip will make a decision that Coach Flip would like rather than a decision actually good for the team with the number one pick. I'm 85% certain that I want the Wolves to pick Towns, but I'm only 75% certain GM Flip will pick Towns. |

Anyone want one of these? |

I'd be happy with one of Cameron Payne, Kelly Oubre, Willie Cauley Stein, or Stanley Johnson. Anyone else and I'd rather pass and make a trade of some sort. |
| Have people been watching the highlights of Porzingis in his workouts? He looks dirty and quite dank. Orlando is definitely praying hard that he drops to #5. |

| Knicks should get Porzingis im hearing he is like Dirk Nowitzki, a 7 footer sharp shooter |

Heard rumors the Lakers could take him at 2. My bet is that he'll end up with Philadelphia or New York. Phil wants Russell to fall to him so bad. He's praying that Hinkie takes Porzingis now that Embiid's foot has died again. Knicks want a player that can contribute immediately and Mudiay is still quite far off in his development as well compared to Russell while Porzingis is a huge project (albeit probably the most talented in this draft). Orlando just wants someone who can shoot a jumpshot. Just watch that workout. It makes me hard just watching that J. |

deanzel said: Just watch that workout. It makes me hard just watching that J. It'd be nice if they had clips of him working out against, you know, other basketball players. I would not touch Porzingis with a 10 foot pole if I had a top 5 pick. Yes, I'm a little biased against European players, but they do tend to be busts more often than not. I never got the infatuation with Euro bigs in the lottery. |
| This isn't Yi Jianlian working out against a chair. Porzingis played an entire year in the ACB league in Barcelona last year as a 19 year old and put up good stats. He needs to work on his strength but there is a good amount of tape on him. I wouldn't take him Top 3 atm over Towns, Okafor and Russell because he is still a big project but I'd roll the dice from Pick 4 and onward. Of course, I'm not an NBA GM whose job is on the line. |

I never got the infatuation with Euro bigs in the lottery. Definitely understandable -- I'd be highly skeptical as well about using a top five pick on him. A good chunk of Euro bigs have ended up being big busts (Darko and Barg both fairly recent major ones that I can recall). Just from watching that clip though, that shot of his is a real beauty. He's a lot more athletic than I thought too. The big thing I would wonder about is how his body would hold for a whole NBA season and about how his defense is. I did hear that his help side D is pretty good though; man-to-man should be interesting, especially with his slim stature right now. |

| He is a lot more athletic than Bargnani ever dreamed he could be. Just looks at his hops and quickness. I'll say though that Bargs was more skilled when he came into the league but he was also a bit older at the time. He is a project but I can see him hitting. This isn't Jan Vesley (aka insert any other rando Euro) as Porzingis actually has skills to go along with his athleticism. |

This isn't Jan Vesley (aka insert any other rando Euro) as Porzingis actually has skills to go along with his athleticism. I agree that he has more hops but in terms of mobility i think both are pretty similar. But yea i definitely can see him succeeding if placed under the right system and right coach. I also can understand why you'd hate any prospect that even reminds you of Bargs being a Raps fan :P |
|
deanzel said: looks like he can do fade away shots too and hook shots in the post, how is his ball handling skills? |
| i look it up and looks like Porzingis is not good at ball handling, that may decrease his chances of being the main go to guy especially on isolation plays |
| Niko was also 23 when he finally came over here (he's 24 now). A few years to develop one's skills is a humongous difference these days. This is the big thing that NBA GMs look for is the age of the prospects and how far along they are in their projected development. GMs seeing Porzingis with these kind of skills and potential at only 19 years old is making their mouths water. He'll also have a lot more time to grow into his body being so young imo. He is really skinny right now and relatively weak though, but he reminds me of a young KG with the fluidity of his movements and jumper. Not sure if he has the ball handling skills (I don't think so) but he is definitely a perfect P&R big in the new NBA. At 7'1" (possibly 7'2") with good length, ball-handling really isn't an incredibly necessary skill vs ability to finish the plays and hands. As you can tell, I am drinking dat Porzingis Kool-Aid atm but I don't think that he's established himself enough yet to be taken past the Big 3. |

 HOLY SHIT! Is this real? Wow...I mean, the home unis are ok, but WTF is that other thing? Seriously, that is NOT an NBA jersey.... |
TheDrones said: He's your prototypical stretch 4, and reminds me of a poor mans Bargnani (with even less physical strength). Defensively, he will get abused. He's too skinny to guard physical bigs in the post. He's late on rotations. He will need A LOT of time to get better ^These types of arguments against Kris have been killin me ---too skinny to guard people in the post......Who the hell does he have to guard in the post? (have you watched a game lately *there are practically no offensive post-game threats in the league -Even Anthony Davis is a Damn JumpShooter-) There's literally like Blake, Boogie, Timmy, Aldridge, ZBO, - after that *who exactly would he be worried about guarding in the post - & depending on roster you could just switch him onto the other big, since most teams don't even use 2 Big lineups anymore meanwhile on the offensive end, if he ends up playing the 4 (he'll have the height advantage every night, he looks to be a consistent FT shooter *which is a dying breed*, he finishes at the rim quickly *OMFG I hate how long it takes so many 4s & 5s to finish near the rim now-a-days*, as a European (he's probably pretty good at big-to-big passing which is a bonus as well ^ overlooking him would just be plain silly -- Personally, I'd go for him over Willy & Okafor anyday (but then again I wouldn't even waste a top 5 on Willy and Okafor....ehhh maybe, but I wouldn't want to) |
