Hill has to get back soon and take the ball out of Hayward hands.

Hayward is playing really stupid tonight. Forcing the issue, taking contested shots while being cold... and that 5 on 4 fastbreak turnover was ridiculous.:mad:

It's beginning to look like Favors will never get really healthy for a long stretch. At least not to the point in which the offense can be turned towards him. His recurrent injuries mean also that he's not going to develop much further. He may still improve his shooting and his understand of the...

I agree with all your grades except Favors'. What you did is like a professor having a student who didn't do well in an exam and, instead of giving him the deserved C, you give him an A- because you know he had the flu. My point is Favors performance was what it was. One can't really say how...

This. From what people in the league say and by listening to him, I think Snyder is a brilliant guy, but somehow the offense that he created clearly sucks. Perhaps he should have hired an offensive coordinator or something like that. Someone specialized in making the offense work.

I expect Lyles to be very trigger-happy and shoot a very low percentage - well below 45% from the field - for the season. Also, he seems to be falling in love with the 3 point shot, which will take away from him what makes him special, his ability to created for himself from the high post area...

Johnson's skill level is very low for league standards and his athleticism is just average. There is nothing that he can do well but to hustle. In other words: he can be either a very marginal player in the league or out of it. I really don't see any reason whatsoever to anyone shad tears over...

Up to this point, we pick - on average - the Thunder to be either the sixth or seventh team. I find it amusing, since I think Westbrook is not only a ballhog, but also as dumb as they come. He is someone who, despite being mistake-prone, refuses to be anything but a very high usage player - even...

I would wait until the Jazz PG situation gets clearer before unloading either Neto or Mack - let's say, at least one month into the regular season. Besides, I'd rather have draft picks than crappy players... er... I mean... long-term projects in return.

1. Warriors 2. Spurs 3. Clippers 4. Jazz 5. Trail Blazers 6. Timberwolves 7. Rockets 8. Mavericks 9. Thunder 10. Grizzlies 11. Pelicans 12. Lakers 13. Nuggets 14. Kings 15. Suns

Regarding Favors, I think the issue is not only how many games he'll miss during the regular season, since the actual number may be low, but that his injuries seem to limit what he can do on court, making him not only less mobile, but less willing to bang in the paint. People praise him for...

I'm all for it. Hayward has to decrease his usage in order to really increase his offensive efficiency, which is subpar.

Of course he is. Favors is so injury-prone that he better garantee some money before people realize that he'll never be a bona fide all-star, that he cannot develop much further because of his physical ailments.

Burke ended up shooting 5 of 13 and scoring 14 points, with 5 assists and zero turnovers, steals or blocks in 29 minutes, while team was outscored by 7. All things considered, he still sucks. I think Burke is waaay more suited to play in the some lesser European league or even here in Brazil...

For Diop, it is clearly a big break. I suspect he will be used to actually practice against the big men. I'm not talking about taking part on full-court practices, but post moves and things like that. He'll teach things like defensive positioning and be able not only to show how to defend but...

Here are Haywards FG% to start the season since his 3rd year, when his offensive role expanded. During these last four seasons, his FG% was .431 - which is, by the way, well bellow league the league average of .452. If we compare Hayward's shooting during each of the first three months of the...

Saint Cy of JFC, I've read your answer and the following arguments by other people and I take back what I said... to an extent. Please allow me to think out loud this issue in order to explain myself in a tongue that is not my native one. Personally, I'm not prepared to agree that a player's...

It is not like you say and never was. I'll give you an definite example: the Lakers' backcourt with Magic Johnson and Byron Scott in the 1980s. On defense, the 6'4 Scott would most of the time guard the shorter backcourt opponent, usually a PG, and the 6'9 Magic would guard the tallest, usually...

I'll give one: Burks becoming disgruntled by playing only 15 minutes per game and hurting the camaraderie in the locker room. It can happen.
