Over the past decade gobert has certainly been the leagues best defender. The only other guy you could really argue is draymond

Kawhi was there for awhile, but too any injuries, and as he grew into stardom was more engaged on offense and less defense

I wonder if Philly will ever get it figured out. Embiid finished with more points than minutes played, something only accomplished by Wilt Chamberlain, and Philly still went out in the first two rounds for the 7th straight season. They just can't seem to keep Embiid healthy and put the right pieces...

But Minnesota has a nice front court no doubt. If porzingus is still hurt in the finals, either match up will be tough for the Celtics I'll give you that. They've got Naz too that dude is a beast

But jokic is jokic

I mean, if you don't understand how good Rudy Gobert is then join the randy eyetest club. Gobert is awesome. Timberwolves have the best defense in the league and he anchors it all. They'll make the nuggets series interesting. I'd prefer to play gobert 10 out of 10 times instead of jokic KAT and gob...

This is looking far in the future but I almost think Celtics would rather see Denver than Minny now that Porzingis might be out for the whole deal. Why would anyone without their center prefer to play jokic and the nuggets? Because Minny has two All Star centers. If my starting center is out, I wou...

If you guys post on here, you obviously have some free time. Sit down and watch big lebowski. Won't regret it

Everyone has seen lebowski. Great movie. But stealing a line and using it as your own? Lol

Pdub probably wants buddy hield as his starting 2 guard

Oubre doesn't get tired this dude is in shape

Embiid got by with some stuff earlier in the series then gets called for a weak flagrant in OT for swiping down

Wonder if the Suns regret those trades yet. KD sounded good on paper but before that trade they were in the finals with booker, bridges, and Ayton. And very promising young core

And I think you put wayyyy too much stock in metrics. Stars are intriguing to look at. But there's a lot more to basketball than running numbers Yes but you certainly aren’t a basketball savant as we all know so when you spout off about something with confidence it’s like a small child wandering in...

No I agree booker is the other obvious choice at the 2 guard. He might be more polished offensively. But edwards is way more athletic and way tougher. Better leader. Has the toughness and it factor that booker does not Edwards is only 22 and a guy team usa is going to build around for many Olympics ...

I don't hate the idea of starting jrue holiday at the 1 and playing Steph at the 2 either. Jrue would be one of the dudes that would buy into a role. defense and pass first pg. But it's just as likely he's depth and doesn't play much

Edwards is also only 22 and already the best 2 guard in the league. He's kind of the future of team usa basketball. Maybe they bring him in off the bench for energy and athleticism, the way team usa used d wade back in 2012

Yeah Tatum is really good and in his prime. But i don't see LeBron or Durant coming off the bench. Tatum is the forward that'll back them up. I don't see all 3 starting together

There's quite a few guards on the team. One of them will start at the 2, not Tatum. And Edwards is the obvious choice

Tatum would be perfect as a super 6th man with his length and versatility

He might be the 2nd best player on the team being in his prime but you aren't gonna start Tatum over LeBron or Durant, even though he is next in line once those guys retire

I don't think you bring in veterans like Durant, curry, and LeBron if you don't plan on starting them. They are there to lead by example and set the tone
