Gepetto 988 Posted January 28 Lakers @ Warriors just started. Warriors finally starting their best 5 players: Steph, Klay, Wiggins, Kuminga, Draymond. Lakers starting DeAngelo Ruseelll, Austin Reeves, Taureen Prince, Lebron, Anthony Davis Which one of these doesn't belong in the starting lineup (of any NBA team) ? Taureen Prince Lakers lose when he plays and wins when he's out hurt. He focking sucks and I hate him. Start Rui you dumbmotherfucker L.A. ooach Ham. This team could have a few years back had Ty Lue as coach. sad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He made both free throws to win it. Happy to see the Lakers get this hard fought win. D'Lo was huge, scored a lot, hit a huge 3 in transition late.

Gepetto 988 Posted April 14 How Victor Wembanyama's rookie season ranks in NBA history Victor Wembanyama's NBA rookie season has finished. The San Antonio Spurs announced that 2023's No. 1 overall draft pick will not play in Sunday's season finale versus the Detroit Pistons due to a sore right ankle. That ends his first NBA campaign at 71 games. For the season, Wembanyama averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.6 blocks per game. He led all NBA rookies in scoring, rebounding and blocks per game average, providing the sort of impact expected from a No. 1 overall selection while becoming a must-see attraction for fans nearly every night. The 7-foot-4 French sensation will almost certainly win NBA Rookie of the Year honors. Wembanyama, 20, went out on a high note in his final game, scoring 34 points with 12 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in a 121–120 upset of the Denver Nuggets that could cost the defending NBA champions the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Wembanayama finishes his rookie season as the first player in NBA history to score 1,500 points (1,522), block 250 shots (254) and hit 100 3-point shots (128) in a single season. (He also compiled 755 rebounds, 274 assists and 88 steals.) That certainly puts him in the conversation for best rookie season in NBA history. But where does Wembanyama stack up against other first seasons from the greatest players in the game? How Wembanyama rates among the all-time greats His 21.4 points per game is the highest for a rookie since Blake Griffin averaged 22.5 points during the 2010-11 season. The same goes for Wembanyama's 10.6 rebounds per game, ranking below Griffin's 12.1 average. No rookie comes close to Wilt Chamberlain, who averaged 37.6 points and 27 rebounds per game during the 1959-60 season. Blocks have only been recorded as a stat in the NBA since the 1973-74 season, so the comparisons there are incomplete. However, with the information on hand, Wembanyama's 3.6 blocks per game only rank behind fellow Spurs star David Robinson, who averaged 3.9 blocks in 1989-90. Did Wembanyama live up to his enormous hype? During his rookie season, was he the sort of generational talent that the NBA hasn't seen since LeBron James? (James finished with an 18.3 PER, by the way.) The numbers say yes. So do a season's worth of highlights showcasing his length, athleticism and talent. Yet there is also plenty of room left for improvement. Wembanyama can get bigger, stronger and more durable, perhaps capable of playing more than 71 games. More importantly, the Spurs can build a better team around him and finish with a record better than the 21–60 mark (tied for worst in the West) they take into Sunday's regular-season finale. The future for Wembanyama looks as exciting as his spectacular all-around game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
