Noel won't be a factor next year, he talked about being back december-ish but he still has a really raw game. He's a no brainer first pick but he's not physically ready, or good enough on offense yet to be a big impact player next year.
Any chance they take McLemore over Noel? If McLemore turns out to be the pro like many experts think, they would have one of the best guard combo's in the league in a couple years
In a perfect world Bulls take Will first round Babb in the 2nd round. Babb would be a natural in Thibby's defensive style.
Nah the Cavs already have a promising guard in Dion Waiters. The Cavs need a basket-protecting big man to compliment the rebounding of Varejao, and Noel fits that to a tee.
That really doesn't have much relevance in this series does it?
Difference is OKC kind of figured the Spurs out in game 2(as well as shooting out of their minds the whole series). The rest of the games were competitive coming to the last half of the 4th quarters.
Memphis hasn't even been competitive. Sure they could figure something out for game 3, but there isn't much evidence pointing towards that.
There is still a lot of series left, I think SA will win but Memphis got a lot of from their guards(esp Conley) against an OKC team that plays absolutely zero defense, is pillow soft and was shorthanded. Had they beaten OKC at full strength I could see the hype but the Spurs are an entirely different animal. Outside of Gasol and Zbo, there isn't a matchup advantage you can point to for the Griz. Those 2 are capable of carrying things but someone will have to step if they are to make this series competitive, a la what they got from Conley against OKC.
Lol...Allen came nowhere near hitting his head, no way that was flagrant. Looks like some "flop Karma" haunting Ginobli. Either way very bad call.
