Official '16-17 NBA Thread: not with a bang but a whimper

[RChildress107]

or it's as if someone just likes the sound of their own posts a lot when they think it's reasonable to rank him 25th but will argue with the entire thread for half of the 220 posts about him being top 30.

I'd say there's a range of 15-20 spots you could rank Klay (25-45). Combining what I've seen and his advanced stats I'd argue that he's at the bottom of that range, as I have on this thread.

FWIW, the argument began because people were claiming Klay was Top 10 or top 20. That's more of a hot take than claiming he's not a top 30 player.

Beard getting loose tonight. 50/15/17

Finished with 53/16/17. Tied Wilt Chamberlain for most points in a triple double. First player ever with 50/15/15.

Just give him the damn MVP already.

DONUTS SIGHTING

Marc Stein
ESPN Senior Writer


The Pelicans are in the process of finalizing a one-year deal with Donatas Motiejunas at the veteran minimum, according to league sources

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

Why would Donuts sign for the veteran minimum?

 

[dartsndeacs]

Giles getting 12 MPG with Grayson suspended.... bringing him back slowly or can he really not crack the starting rotation?

 

[TexasDeac10]

Why would Donuts sign for the veteran minimum?

He's kind of out of opportunities now, right? Suffice it to say that he and his agent did not play this well.

I think he is made of some sort of elastic material. Dude stretches out like Mr. Fantastic.

Isaiah Thomas and James Harden each scored 52 (in Harden's case, 53) on 26 shots, within 3 days of each other, and now Jimmy Butler goes off for 52 on 24 (!) shots.

This friggin' year, man

WTF was Sabonis supposed to do? I actually feel bad for him, not his fault that Giannis is some alien creature from a far off planet and not bound to the same laws of physics as us mere humans.
