    Jakey You Reckon

    Jan 20, 2016
    Some Sixers fans are debating if they would rather Simmons or Ingram. Apparently Ingram is closing the gap between pick 1&2. He looks like the perfect fit for Philly as well, would easily slot into our 3 and he's a good s---t which we desperately need. But being an Aussie I would be pissed off if we dont get Simmons.

    You definitely want Simmons at number 1, but it wouldn't be the worst consolation prize if you got a guy like Ingram. Kind of like Wiggins and Jabari a few years ago.

    I'd rather have Simmons

    Also, anyone see KJ McDaniels come in the game just to foul Drummond 5 times? lol

    Lmao yeah. Such a weird game. 55+ FT's for Detroit and Harden went the f--- off.

    If Drummond could s---t FT's remotely better he'd contend with Boogie Cousins and Gasol for the best center in the league

    I just want the Lakers to keep their d--- pick for one more season, I'm a long ways from worrying about who they pick if they do keep it. For now I just know they gotta keep losing and give themselves the best chance possible to be in the top 3.

    Fam their entire team is money. There were tons of possessions that the Bulls defended perfectly and the Warriors just continued knocking down shots. Nobody can beat them in a 7 game series if they play at or near this level.

    Best case scenario they keep the pick this year, win 30-40 games next season and end up giving Philly a late lotto pick. It's crucial for them not to lose this pick. If you add Simmons or Ingram to that core, Lakers could be a problem in 2 years.

    Tbh. People talking bout spurs too but lets be honest, if/when they do em dirty like the rest of the league on the 25th who wud be surprised.
    Nd even if they do somehow lose that game... they not losing 4/7
    Even if curry and/or thompson slumps draymond truly makes them unbeatable.
    This n----- is like that puzzle piece that fits anywhere on the court... Watching them play THIS dude not curry is what makes them go nd takes them over the top. For as good as curry is he is a product of his environment. When the last time a mvp played on a team this good.
    Put it like this their "2nd or 3rd" best player is more important to the team than the MVP of the whole league. s--- makes no sense, he the only player in the leauge to lead a team in rebounds AND assists. Like what, who is this dude.

    Throw in a 40% shooting Iggy who can strap lebron, kawaih or whatever wing, and another shooter barnes (both excel in their fast break offense too smh) nd this s--- not even fair.

    Agree 100%, Draymond is no doubt their MVP. Curry is a great, great player, but benefits so much from the team.
    Saw something last night that Rose & Butler are the 1st back court to outscore the splash brothers this season. Imagine what they'd do if they were surrounded by GS shooters. :cosby1:

    Dude has been carrying the team all year and is still behind Kyrie for starting the ASG. What do you think Beal will get this off season? Talent wise he's probably top 5 at SG but he's obviously has his issues with injuries.

    Bro he's gonna get paid no matter what. I agree, he prolly shud be in that top 5 SG convo already but injuries.
    Sucks to cause before this year, in the regular season, dude didn't even know how to drive md still managed bout 16 a game. Came out this year on fire like 20 a game w/ a combo of strong moves to the rim nd that pretty jumper mane, thing of beauty, then gets hurt all over again.

    What's crazy tho is he still learning his game. I just checked nd beal missed almost a whole season worth (like 70+ games now) in his career. He is just now learning to step back for a three instead of fading away for a long 2 or knowing when to drive nd when to settle. Dudes only in his 3rd year in the league forreal. Putting up almost 20 shooting above 40% from 3 at 22 years old.
    He geting paid the max no doubt, just cause he restricted nd somebody gonna offer him that money, which sucks if dude keeps getting hurt but worth it to keep him nd wall together

    Its annoying tho seeing him be so assertive in the playoffs nd take a step back to wall in the reg season. Need to see this consistently mane:

    I know the Knicks are more than a few steps away from being a contender for anything but I gotta say I'm happy to see how they're coming along. Especially now that Melo is looking more like a leader.
    It was only a few months ago all the Knicks fans homies were posting suicidal Knicks fan Pepe memes (Which even I gotta admit are fire lmao) and saying Phil is getting wild overpaid to watch us try and get into the lottery.... but looks like Zen Master is making everyone look like fools for doubting him again.

    Do you guys think the league needs to look into fixing the hack-a-shack problem? I personally don't. If teams and players have an issue with it, then make your d--- free throws.

    Crazy and kinda funny to think all the hate the Phil Jackson and the Knicks were getting at the time of the draft because they took Porzingis... But now he's got the 4th highest selling jersey in the NBA and is being called PorzinGOD lmao. I do love watching him play tho. Phil may very well know what he's doing.

    Yeah I can't front, even I was like "Who?" when we drafted him (I wanted Winslow) but I mean... I didn't rule s--- out till I seen him play. Drake needs to get GodZingis on the remix of 6God.

    I honestly thought he was gonna be a solid player in the league, but when the Knicks got him I was like ooooo s--- watch him be a bust now lmao. But he loves the city and I think him and Melo are gonna make a great core in a few years.
