Do you fucks realize how boring these last couple of seasons have been for us lifelong Warriors fans? It's like king Midas, they keep winning, there's no adversity no struggle.

Why are the Sixers core so overated? >Embiid memechucking flopping autist
>Simmons no shot, can't run the offense, inaccurate passes
>Fultz literally played 4 games so far and when he did play, he was terrible. in college he was a poor jump shooter and faded in big games.
They are an unimpressive bunch and that's without taking their injury history into account.
Jack Barnes
I'm sure they will fix fultzs shot
Christopher Robinson
this desu i wonder if larry ever gets tired of winning so much
Lucas Bailey
Fultz couldn't even beat out McConnel as a 1st overall pick. Sixers saw him in practice and in summer camp and knew that he was a bust already.

Nathaniel Collins
so why didn't they just have like a stand in ref?

What happened to the 3rd ref? Is he kill?

This Sixers team is legit the biggest squad of chokers in the NBA. I wouldn't put money on them winning anything of significance, ever.
Jordan Anderson
Is Marcus Dumb officially our guy now?

no one can choke harder than the rockets did against celtics.
In fact I am pretty sure it should have been impossible for them to lose
Alexander Parker
The ridiculously nice public high school the Cavs are practicing at in Napa today has a culinary program, floral arrangement classes, a pre-veterinarian school (where they tend to and learn about turkeys and then slaughter them and bring them to the culinary school to cook at Thanksgiving), a wine-making course (where bottles are sold for $25,000 a pop to wealthy locals who buy them to fund the program) and every student is presented with a laptop on the first day of school.
>our high schools are better than NBA facilities
Adrian Ortiz
What did they meme by this?
Bentley Walker
I legit want to retire in Napa if I hit my goals by 55.
Elijah Thompson
Yeah, because we should dump billions into a failing public school system where Tyrone and Maria don't give 2 fucks about Tyrone Jr., they teach esoteric common core bullshit, and wreck funding projections having to pay into their horribly mismanaged pension plans.
Hudson Cook

OK white families have education issues too, but one of the main issues is familial participation. You can sperg about Sup Forums all you want, but you're objectively wrong if you think there isn't something wrong with our public school systems on both sides of the ball. Every year my city votes for more education while their quality gets worse. I won't even blame it on non Americans depleting resources. It's issues not only at home but at the administrative and government level. Maybe if we improved things, kids wouldn't HAVE to rely on basketball or sports to get out of their situations.
Camden Hall

>Tatum has same number of points as Simmons on 100 less shots
Colton Powell
now post rebounds and assists
Jeremiah Robinson
What are you implying? Tatum is not even as good as Mitchell or Kuzma, maybe not even as good as DSJ/Ball. Simmons is not a rookie to be fair, but he's going to run away with the award.
William Rivera
>6er cuck getting defensive as fuck
Never mentioned that Tatum was better or anything. Simmons is obviously better, just thought it was an interesting statistic.
Lincoln Lopez
>3 is worth more than 2 >Tatum can shoot FTs
nice detective work
Grayson Jones
>4th options who's a good shooter is more effective than a 2nd option with no jump shot
wow thanks for that insight i guess
Cooper Garcia
>Kuzma
Topkek. That dude is like 22 and being compared to rookies that aren't even 20 yet. Meanwhile there are people around his age with giant contracts and who have been in all-star games.
Oliver Roberts
We're not talking about potential, just raw ability as a rookie. Tatum should be better than Kuzma eventually, but as it right now, he's not.
Robert Kelly
what a dumb argument, we can't evaluate where they'll be in 3-4 years but just rn kyle > jayson
Isaac Wood
Tatum makes key plays at the end of games to get the Celtics wins. Kuzma's team is the 4th worst team in the league right now.
Jaxson Evans
Tatum is nice but Kuzma is a way better player at this point. Tatum is far too passive aggressive right now, must be a Duke forward thing because Ingram was the same his rookie year. Tatum overpasses good shots for him for bad shots for Marcus Smart.
Adam Parker
Yeah but we can evaluate what they do at the same age.
>Kuzma at 19/20 (second year after high school) : 24 MPG, 11 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist shooting 5.22/2.55 against college competition >Tatum at 19 (second year after high school): 31 minutes, 14 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist shooting 51.2/47.6 against the best basketball players in the world
Carter Watson
That's irrelevant to the discussion of who is better now.
Chase Morales
>brings up team success in a individual award
dude this isn't MVP lmao
Christian Thompson
You fucking can't do that. You are comparing NCAA to NBA and cherrypicking >muh tatum against great competition while ignoring that Kuz didn't have Kyrie, Jaylen, Horford or Smart to take attention off him at Utah.
You can't compare stats like that. Kuz is better right now, this is the one absolute truth we know
Mason Rodriguez
This is the ultimate fucking strawman, we all know Tatum has the potential to be better down the line but as a rookie, Kuzma is out performing him.
Christian Ross
Which is still IRRELEVANT to the argument of who's a better rookie
Bentley Gutierrez
>comparing someone playing against players like LeBron, KD, Paul George etc isn't fair >Kuzma played against teams where 90% of the players never made the NBA >put up similar stats even though there's a huge divide in talent >m-muh cherrypicking
LOL
Henry Baker
Just stop. He's not even top 3 rookies, Simmons, Mitchell and Kuz are the leaders.
Brody Barnes
>all these faggots acting like age is irrelevant
I guess that's why all these top draft picks are always 19 right
Luis Carter
that's the point he was making, you can't compare college stats of someone to another person in the NBA
you just played yourself, welldone
its not irrelevant, it just has no player in the ROTY argument which is about a season and not about future potential
Landon Howard
Tatum's rookie season at Duke was better than any of Kuzma's 4 years of college.
Eli Davis
which may be true but still is releveant to the fact that kuz and jayson are both rookies and the eye test and the stats both support kyle being better
David Clark
Just stop user it doesn't work nobody believes it till they have to deal with. You re just gonna be called a racist or autistic.
Connor Allen
The draft is based on potential for the most part, not how good they are at the moment. Frank Mason 3 is better than Deaaron Fox right now and even when they were drafted but that doesn't mean he will be in 3-4 years.
Levi Carter
Funny how the Celtics and Lakers both got lottery picks the same years and the Celtics are top of their conference with multiple All-Star players while the Lakers are 4th in the draft lottery and they don't even own their draft pick.
Jordan Robinson
And? Kuzma is still the better rookie in the NBA. I can't believe people try to argue Tatum as ROTY. It's Simmons, closely followed by Mitchell and Kuzma...then a WIDE gap and maybe you have Kuz and Lauri there.
