He has the Bird/Magic thing where he brings his team up. He has more experience dealing with double team, etc, despite age difference than Tatum.I love Tatum, but if I was starting an NBA team, I’d take Doncic first, but barely. Hopefully, these two will 21st century Magic-Bird the NBA finals some day soon
Doncic, then Giannis, then Tatum.You are running an expansion franchise and get to draft anyone in the NBA, but you have to take on their contract. Age is in play...everything. Who are you taking?
Is Doncic your pick? Tatum? Kawhi? Giannis?
You are correct Tatum has trained like a pro since he was 13, but Luka was a pro at that age. I expect the only thing that Tatum doesn’t do exceptionally well, setting up others, will be a another strong point in his game in a couple of years. We see signs of it now.He has the Bird/Magic thing where he brings his team up. He has more experience dealing with double team, etc, despite age difference than Tatum.
Giannis, but Luka is making it close.You are running an expansion franchise and get to draft anyone in the NBA, but you have to take on their contract. Age is in play...everything. Who are you taking?

Yeah I don't get this. LAC was finally having success having Jackson show and then slip out of the matchup down teh 4Q stretch. Then Jackson for some reason doesn't or can't or won't or whatever slip out of the matchup not once but twice, and Doncic buries two 3s to win it.Putting Reggie Jackson on Luka Doncic is a fireable Offense
The game is very different now than 07.I'll take 43/17/13 +11 over 48/9/7 +2
And Lebron scored 25 consecutive points, on the way to scoring 29 of the Cavs' last 30 points in the game. Context matters.The game is very different now than 07.
I hate accusations of choking, but...that layup George missed really looked bad.That shot gets Luka up to 1A Alpha status. No idea why they didn't double him. Can't let him beat you like that.
Bad Playoff George returning didn't help Doc much.
Except Luka might be better than Harden right now, with room to grow.Tatum has turned himself into a good defender, with potential to be great. If Tatum becomes Kahwi and Luka becomes Harden, give me Tatum.

Tatum is only 11 months older, they can both grow.Except Luka might be better than Harden right now, with room to grow.
Right? One of those...they know more basketball in their little finger than I have in my brain, but....it seems impossible to me. Or Paul George for that matter. But...Reggie Jackson?How do you not staple Kawhi to Luka on that last play?
Once you get past the Twitter hot takes on George it seems as if the dude is clearly hurt. He may have other issues but some of it is health.The mavericks are a lay up line on defense. The fact that pg hasnt figured that out in 4 games tells you how smart of a player he is.
He’s out for the game, apparently left the building for imaging. Would be a big loss if he misses any time for the Celtics series.Lowry twisted his ankle and hasn’t returned to the game.
I was bitching upthread about having Reggie Jackson in a game at crunch time (game 1 or 2). There's no justification. Not sure what's going through Doc's mind there. I think that @reggiecleveland would defend that play better.Right? One of those...they know more basketball in their little finger than I have in my brain, but....it seems impossible to me.

Hot take? He's been awful and settling vs a team giving up a layup line. That's not a hot take. The clippers are going home if he plays 1 more game as bad as he's beenOnce you get past the Twitter hot takes on George it seems as if the dude is clearly hurt.

Also, I don't know if Beverley slows Luka today but he is a better option than Reggie Snackson. They could really use him.
Totally, wtf is he dying on this hill?! Oh, he's a championship player? Well, Laimbeer was a championship player as well, what does that matter.JVG is overly excited about this VanVleet penalty. Is that not a clear path as well?
Funny. After the first round last year the Celtics were flying high as well. Hope they can do a better job of building on their momentum this time through. I think they will.Suddenly, according to 538’s Raptor predictions, the Celtics and the Clippers are tied in the “Most likely to win the championship” at 21% each. After this game they may decrease the Clippers likelyhood.
That’s really surprising with Hayward’s injury. And something made them suddenly sell stock on the Bucks.Suddenly, according to 538’s Raptor predictions, the Celtics and the Clippers are tied in the “Most likely to win the championship” at 21% each.

Hayward left the bubble to get some deer antler spray. Will be back asapThat’s really surprising with Hayward’s injury. And something made them suddenly sell stock on the Bucks.
Hah my Nuggets fan friend said similar. Sink or swim. But he bet over on 4.5 assist and over 30.5 points so at least he will make some cash tonite.Jamal Murray would drive me crazy if I was Nuggets fan. He seems like he's either 34 or 14 points per game. I would imagine most Nuggets game threads on their version of SOSH include, "Let's hope we get good Jamal tonight."
He played a great game tonight. The Nuggets really miss the defense of Harris and Barton (not to be confused with the former 49er).Murray with a meaningless last second shot to get to 50. No one hucked the ball this time.
In the future, or the past?Doncic-Brown-Tatum would be an unterrible 1-2-3. Is there a timeline where that occurs?
Also had a shot with the pick that came with Tatum, right? Lakers ended up at #10 so Philly got to keep it but if it had been 2-5, then that puts you right in Luka range.In the future, or the past?
There was a pretty straightforward one where Danny doesn’t trade for Kyrie and then the final Nets pick does well in the lottery.
