@Tommy bilfiger
markkanen led finland to an upset win against one of the best national teams in europe
france was favored by 15
? was entertaining
markkanen had 4 points at half
finished with 22 points on 9-of-15 from the field
2-of-3 from deep and 7 rebounds
went crazy in the fourth and overtime
clutch shot after clutch shot
inside
outside
off ball
on ball
i never understood the hype on him relative to the league and other positions but it was cool to watch him hold up on both ends against a good team

^^^ you can catch the game hereI've been peeping markkanan in the tourney.Real gm been updating his performances wit highlights after every game
He decent.I know what lavine can do, but I'm definitely watching dunn & markannan next season cuz their development is key to the future.Dunn been in chicago all summer workin.I saw a snap chat of fred working with him on his jumper like 2 days ago I was gonna post it but these lames just wanna ? jokes & complain if you actually talk basketball in a sports forum + we the only legit bulls fans on here.the rest of the ic "bulls fans" wack so there was no point.Niko just need to take that qo and hit the market next summer cuz I don't see where the fit is anymore.I think niko would eat on the spurs.Lauri get some strength I think he'll be real solid duke release mad quick. -
Dan Gilbert is operating under the assumption LeBron James will leave the Cleveland Cavaliers in the summer of 2018, according to multiple sources.
the destruction of the cleveland cavs has already started.Nukes locked & loaded
face of the cavs gonna be jae crowder and the 6th pick on the 2018 draft one year from now. -
Trade Kevin love midseason

Lol @ Kyrie leading a team to the finals.
-
It's a collective effort out here he's just the number 1 scoring option its not like he's putting the team on his back if that was the case we would suck but he's an important piece to the puzzle that will have us owning the east for years to come
-
Lol @ Kyrie leading a team to the finals.
I think kyrie gonna eat with stevens and his game will improve.He's never played for a good coach in his career he has to become a better overall player(playmaking,defense,shot selection).If I had to pick a year they win the east,I'd say '19 cuz boston is young+ I gotta see them play next season they pretty much turned over the whole roster.
As great as I.t. was, he was a liability that teams would exploit they don't have to worry about that anymore. -

I agree 100%. I think Boston has a good chance of making the finals, and even better chances the next 2 years when your young guys start maturing.
But thats only if Kyrie buys in. Imo Boston has to be Brad Stevens team and everyone buy in. With egos in the NBA thats easier said than done, but yall got the pieces to do it.
I was laughing cause people were talking like Kyrie was about to lead his team to finals in the tradional sense. -

Thats the ? o be thinking about Celtics run a great offense that got the most out ta their talent now they have two talented offensive players instead of one two guys thats going to get theirs regardless
But
Kyrie is a massive ball stopper and will jack up ass backward shots this doesn't go with the Celtics offense so either
A) ? gonna grow up
? going to get exposed -
Minnesota after him. -

No he's not.Kyrie ast % 30 i.t. 32
kyrie time of possession 6.4 secs i.t.6.7
kyrie apg 6 i.t. 6 they are the same player offensively except i.t.draws more fouls.Now kyrie has to learn how to run offensive sets(lebron has primarily done that) most of his assists are from breaking down defenses and passing to the open cat/slasher. -

The way I see it working is Boston has to be the new Spurs where Stevens is the teams ultimate leader.
Now the reason why there is only 1 spurs is because they had a all timer like Duncan who had no ego and would let Pop coach him like anyone, and when Duncan retired, they basically got him back in a small forwards body in Leonard who also lets Pop coach him.
To me there is no real leader on the team. Up until now, Kyrie hasnt shown he could lead, and Hayward aint no leader either.
Doesnt mean it wont work though. Brad Stevens has shown himself to be the next great coach imo and I can see him getting Kyrie and Hayward to both totally buy in. I think he can create an offense where both players are happy and have it be effective at the same time. -

Idk I dont know the stats behind that I've just seen him dribble the ball until the shot clock ran out and take a wild 3 plenty of times like you said Bron ran the offensive with kyrie Running the offensive that ? could change you have to think those numbers are a bit skewed because he was a part time pg -

WTF! Bruh!
They have to stretch Asik now. Why are they trying to avoid it. They are probably hoping he wants a injury settlement.
-
They are going all in for Cunningham. I hope they can fit in Anthony Morrow/Shabazz Muhammad at the vet min.

They won't, Ownership won't allow Demps to stretch him. All in all the franchise luck is on some Zeronnis Curse from the Movie Holes type ? .
Is there another team as ? up with our offseasons? We have witnessed basketball related tragedies and off court ones EVERY ? YEAR.
