My god I knew Smart was lighting it up from the three point line, but I didn't realize how good he's been. Smart is shooting .408 from the three on 6.9 attempts per game. If Smart's 3pt% is anywhere close to 40% by the end of the year he's essentially the premier 3D player in the NBA.

Watch this series of events from the Golden State game in the 4th quarter to help seal the deal:

He sneaks in and gets hand on the rebound, makes an impossible save and then on the ensuing tip watch him go to Tatum at 2:39 and tell him to steal the tip. If you watch the interview at the end of the highlights he talks about telling Tatum what to do.

Marcus is just on a whole other level this year.

Minnesota will probably beat us tonight. Russ, Capela, House and Gordon all out. Unless Harden goes off we'll lose handily.

Is there a worse finisher in the NBA then Jayson Tatum right now?

From inside the arc?

Russ has always been coachable and his teammates love him despite the fact that he hasn't played defence since college.

Kyrie makes Kobe look like a great teammate

Excuse me but I think you may have a head injury.

Does anyone actually like watching James Harden?

The guy is a great player but it's one of the worst styles of b-ball of all time.

Thank God you can't win playing that way.

I think people like watching his stat sheet more than him playing

Has there ever been a franchise to go from the best record in a conference to the worst record the following season in NBA history?

bulls after their last championship. I believe that was the lockout season to be fair but I doubt they would have increased if they got the full season.

I believe the 99 Bulls. Everybody left and that team was a trainwreck.

I like having Harden as my franchise player, so idk what to tell you. Top 4 seed potential every season and he's consistently healthy.

plus he gets people so upset which never gets old.

I personally don't. It's good he can put up numbers. They games I have watched in the playoffs I see why. Within his monster games are so many bad plays and decisions that don't come back to hit him in the rear until deep playoff times.

Damn that's a nice steal. I don't watch much but I've never seen someone go for that before

he's at 11. His WAR is very close with Jimmy/KAT/Kemba/Barton/etc

also, again, pls note that Eric Gordon is at the very bottom with -1.2

and that Porzingis is *VERY* close to the bottom >_>

We've gotten a lot better at drafting since Mitch joined tbh. Miles, Malik, Devonte, & PJ are all balling out regularly now. Bismack, MKG, Marvin, Willy, & Bacon are all expiring this season with Batum's next.

We get a nice lottery pick in a pretty loaded draft and use cap space to sign a good vet (Kevin Love?) and I can see this team being a 5 seed next season.

5 seed isn't happening short of a miracle.

Miami and Orlando are both Division Rivals who are young and better then Charlotte. Atlanta is due a jump soon as well and have a legit Allstar PG to build around.

That puts Charlotte at likely 3rd or 4th in their division long term then there are Boston, Philly, Indy who all have good front offices and talent locked in plus Toronto, Milwaukee ect who likely won't slip any time soon

I love him, and I trust him.

Zekes · Nov 16, 2019

Damn, I was just at the Vancouver Aquarium and walked by Klay Thompson and Laura Harrier. I was debating real hard whether I should blow up his spot and ask for a photo but decided not to. When I looked back some young kids were getting some photos with him. I should've done it fuck

Smurf · Nov 16, 2019

I have no problem watching Harden play. He got a great handle, his (4step)stepback is pretty cool, hits a lot of fuck you 3s, some great passes and from time to time throws a mean dunk. Wish he would do that more often tho

ViewtifulJC · Nov 16, 2019

Wiggins out tonight rip

Philly has a good front office?

Based on what exactly?

Counter-point:

you're wrong.

With Philly admittedly it's more about talent locked in, then overal competence. With Simmons, Embiid, Horford and Richardson locked in that's a lot of overall talent

They had a great team last year and a really good one this year but I don't really give their front office much credit.

mjp2417 · Nov 16, 2019

Nets have a pretty big DeAndre Jordan problem. Not sure how the hell that ever gets solved given the internal politics.

That's fair. It's just with that amount of talent they won't be in trouble for the next 5 or so years
