KP best offensive big in the game, idgaf what anyone says. Its how he scores. He hit a corner 3, catch and shoot, came back next play, put the ball on the floor from the premiter and made a scoop layup, came back next play and hit another spot up 3.

Just need him to start playing D

Towns n cuz>>>

First off, all three are great. But im talking just offensively, KP is better then Towns. KP has a better offensive skillset than Towns. With boogie its much closer and I can see it going to Cousins just based off experience.

Embiid will also be in the discussion when his minutes restriction gets taken off.

How so, I'm not sure what kp can do on offense that towns can't

KP can shoot better and with more consistency from mid range and 3, has way more range, can drive from the 3 point line to the rim better, has a better turn around jumper, also he can shoot off the dribble much better than Towns.

Towns has a better post game, thats the one thing KP lacks but it has improved a lot from last year already.

Im a fan of Towns, and we comparing Elite young bigs, so im not saying Towns cant do everything I wrote, Towns is a beast, KP is just better at them than Towns is.

Towns has has a better first 2 years than KP. He came in the league more NBA ready.

But just off these first 5 games of the season, KP has taken a leap and has been filling in the role of the #1 option way better than I was expecting. He still has lots improving to do. He still rushes his shots and panics when double teamed.

Now again, its only 5 games. If KP fizzles out and cant keep this level consistently going forward, ill take back him being the best offensive big.

And KP just seems lost on defense. Hes still a very good rim protector, but has no idea how to defend outside of paint.

I see a bit of Melos habit in him. Where Melo will stop gaurding before the play is over and position himself to get a rebound, and then fail to recover and close out when the ball finds his man. It was the 1 thing Melo did that frustrated the fuck out of me. Of all the bad Melo habits to pick up. They better get him to cut that shit out.

Warriors lost

 

[5th Letter]

These niggas making our win against them not seem as impressive smh.

 

[Undefeatable]

Simmons out here almost averaging a triple double in his rookie year: 17.5ppg, 9.5 rpg, and 7.5 apg. (Plus almost 2 steals a game.) All-star numbers? Either way, dude will probably be averaging a triple double by his third year in the league. Well deserving of the hype.

 

[Ghostdenithegawd]

Warriors playing trash also a lot of teams.predicted to be good are trash Denver, clevland

so many teams playing meh basketball it ain't reflecting in their records

 

[D.D.S.]

Cavs been trash on defense for the past two seasons

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

Lol at the Rockets and GSW.

The Warriors got lucky Beal got ejected. The Rockets wont beat the Spurs, the grizzlies neither.

Warriors were supposed to roll now that they got their chemistry on one. This regular season was supposed to be a cakewalk.

They get struggle wins. They get nervous and fight err games.

Grizzlies and Spurs kick asses. Pelicans are on the rise and the Clips can be a surprise. The Thunder are a wait and see imo.

Please bball gods let the Pels, Grizz and Spurs alone and safe!! Of of these three teams will get GSW number coming playoff time if healthy.

You been calling for the demise of Golden State for a few years now. Eventually you will get it right. Maybe 2022 :/

Not true. Im the one praising them , especially the 2016 GSW. Im the one who was sayin INCURRYDIBLE. Yet i still find them weakend by the Durant acquisition. They get pounded in the post. And they still havent adressed the problems GRIZZ , Spurs and imo Bucks are causing them since three years.

- They were lead 2-1 till Tony Allen got injured

- they have a ongoing negative record against SAS. They were trailing by 26 at home till Patchulia hurt Leonard.

I call it like i see it. Im still waiting for the bball gods to make them facing these two teams IN FULL FORCES. The interior presence they lack may killed them as we are already seen.

The league has caugh up with the three point race. The incomplete Wizzards was spanking them till Beal got ejected. The Rockets made the difference by scoring threes and pounding them in the paint.

The West got tougher. Look at the bench of SAS, Memphis and the Clips.Incomplete teams will struggle.

Add to this that the element of fear the Warriors instilled in the heart of their opponent has disapeared. They bomb threes yet the opposition still play there game and get from 20 pts leads WITH COMPOSURE.

The promised finals and regular season cakewalk for GSW and any Western conference team, i dont believe in this.

11 solid teams for 8 spots...

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

The cavs can sleep and wake up coming playoff time, no team in the West can.

Baring injuries, the western conference champ will limp in the finals. Damn these teams were already dog fighting during the preseason!!

That 15 games sleeping/ warming up doesnt exist this year in the West.
