NBA 2016/17 - Still waiting on Ben Simmons

Not much defence in the Cavs and Blazers game.

Have the Blazers played defence yet this year?

Man that Evan Turner signing was bad.

Man that Evan Turner signing was bad.

League worst defence. Was reading this morning that Turner was blown away by the offer and couldnā€™t sign it fast enough, even he was surprised. His offence has been quite good, but something isnā€™t right at the moment. I donā€™t think Festus Ezeli or Aminu are going to make that much difference.

Normal game for Kawhiā€¦

How the absolute fark are Luol Deng and Jose Calderon playing in the NBA right now?

Both are just absolute trash on legs and getting consistent minutes.

Two of the worst players Iā€™ve seen pull on the Purple & Gold.

Blame Thibedeau for Deng, destroyed ho body by over playing him, he is probably really 40 as well. Have a look how Noah, Deng, Rose, etc all move now given what Thibs did to them, he is already playing the young Wolves stupid minutes for 5 wins.

Why the lakers signed Deng for 4 years at that money is inconceivable, almost as much as the Mosgiv deal, positive is they probably be able to trade Deng to the Wolves for and asset with Thibs running the show.

Yeah, Tibs has been neglecting his bench for a long time. Wiggins and KAT both push 40 minutes often, I remember he used to run his starters into the ground at Chicago, mind you Hojberg still gives Butler a healthy allotment of minutes.

Lakers crush the Hawks at home after going down double digits early.

Sweet Louis, Clarkson and Swaggy are all killing it for us this year.

Swaggy just cannot miss.

Jimmys minutes are down, he is down to 35, he averaged 39 in Thibs last two seasons, his PER averaged 15 under Thibs, its 29 this season and he may be able to play into his 30s unlike Noah, Deng, Rose and Taj. Wiggins, Kat, Lavine will be cactus by the time they are 27.

Westbrook now averaging a triple-double after todayā€™s effort.

Definitely on the outer. Hardly got any minutes in the previous 2 games.

its really weird, ive watched a few jazz games this season and the eye test says he looks a better option than Shelvin Mack, They were playing him at the 2 a lot, he is a 1. I think he doesnt know what his role is.

I have seen him couple of times and donā€™t share your optimism Ben, looks a long way off, not sure the Jazz even know what they are, apart from overated.

The Jazz canā€™t develop players properly.

Havenā€™t been able to for a long time.

ā€œChuck a whole bunch of kids together and just see what happens. They are bound to turn out goodā€¦ Arenā€™t they?ā€

A pretty good summary of the Exum thing.

In other Aussie PG News, Patty Mills is having him some year

Having this convo with a mate today, currently, as of now. Is Patty Mills the best Australian basketball export ever? Like I get Longley won 3 rings with the Bulls, but Patty has the better international contribution.
