    gobert with 21/12/3 last night while holding marc gasol to 8 points on 4-22 shooting

    4 of 22

    first he dominated cousins and now gasol

    what a season hes having -- hes been carrying the jazz through these injuries and close games -- when he was getting interviewed after the game the reporter asked him if having a game like that against gasol would build his confidence and he was like no im already confident im good -- his attitude is a big reason why hes been able to get so much better

    his hands

    his finishing around the rim

    his FT shooting

    have all improved dramatically this year

    Beginning with the 2017 NBA All-Star Game, the starters for both the Eastern and Western Conferences will not solely be determined by fan voting, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

    Fans will account for 50 percent of the votes, while NBA players and the media will account for 25 percent each.

    THANK YOU ITS ABOUT TIME

    if jah nimbleness of foot could translate from O to defense

    hed be a franchise building block

    now hes just enes kanter

    and the more the league goes to spacing

    heavy pick and roll play

    and one big on the court

    the more pronounced his deficiencies will become

    Toronto had a good season, but I didn't like Lowry starting over Wall.

    I wouldn't want to bench anyone on the West, but Harden and Davis could've easily been starters.

    That knee has been a problem from day one. Blakes athleticism hasn't been on the decline the past few years. He's going to be one of those stars that fall off out of no where.

    Blakes elite athleticsm is no longer there. The vertical is not what it once was. That's why he's shooting more jumpers.

    But if i own an NBA team I'll be really skeptical about signing blake longterm with reoccurring knee issues

    That's what I was getting at. Accidentally wrote hasn't instead of has

    @CJ @AcresShakers

    Looks like Capela is having a MRI done on his knee and has officially been ruled out for tomorrows game which sucks, hes probably the player we could least afford to lose besides Harden but at least it appears to just be soreness and he should be back soon
