ROY: Dunn


Warriors > Clippers in the WCF.
Cavs > Wizards in ECF.

I had OKC and Clippers, and Pacers and Celtics flipped in my standings then realized my conference finals would impossible in the scenario. Lol

 

[BadJerry20]

Dallas's 3rd team helps me not feel like a homer with my predictions lol

If we have 4 dudes on all NBA teams and we don't win the title, time to fire Billy D. Lol

 

[BadJerry20]

My bold predictions for the year...Bucks make the playoffs and Houston doesn't.

Lol. Homer personified

I started to respond to that then just gave up mid sentence. Dallas gonna Dallas.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

It honestly didn't even come to me that they're all 4 thunder players . Lol they're all just that good.

 

[n_huffhines]

I actually could see any one of those guys deserving 3rd team All-NBA. Kanter had a great regular season in 2016, Adams is good and still improving, and Oladipo has a shot simply because SG is a fairly weak position rn.

I could see Oladipo, but not the other two to be honest and I'm an OKC fan.

 

[Stoked]

I might have missed it but no one has Anthony Davis on their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team?

 

[TBrown]

I would say ZBo 6th man but every time we go down the nonstarting ZBo route we always end up (very quickly) starting ZBo

Homie gonna get up some shots tho

 

[n_huffhines]

I could see Oladipo, but not the other two to be honest and I'm an OKC fan.

FWIW, Kanter was 3rd last year among PFs in wins produced. He was a ****ing monster on the glass and scored a lot and with great efficiency.

 

[LittleCat]

I might have missed it but no one has Anthony Davis on their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team?

If he gets 24/10/2 numbers again, he should definitely be at least 3rd. He got 1st in 2014, put up the same numbers (slightly less efficient) again in 2015 but got nothing. I would have at least put him above Lamarcus. But hopefully he stops getting hurt and steps up.

 

[n_huffhines]

IDK what to expect from Davis....he is floating away from the basket and the ROI isn't there. In 2015, 40% of his attempts came from around the rim. In 2016 it was 35%. Last year it was 30%. His offensive rebounding production fell by like 40% and his scoring efficiency has suffered while his turnovers are up.

I'd like to see him around the basket more, unless he's going to suddenly start hitting 40% from 3.

 

[BearCat204]

76'ers win the cup......................am I doing it right?

 

[BadJerry20]

It honestly didn't even come to me that they're all 4 thunder players . Lol they're all just that good.

I'm going to pretend you have Dre on your all defensive team. Lol

 

[BadJerry20]

I might have missed it but no one has Anthony Davis on their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team?

64, 68, 67, 61...He's great but has to play close to a full season.

Any is very different than all. Lol
