He really knows how to play up the moment. He knows exactly what he's doing. Media gobbles that shit up.

Tatum might be better than Donovan Mitchell.
Mitchell is more explosive, and a better athlete, but thats about it. Tatum lead the league in 3pt shooting % for a stretch of the season, can create his own shot against ANY defender in the NBA, is better defensively (just slightly, because of his length) gets to the FT line more often, and is cold blooded, as he doesnt seem to feel pressure or look rattled on the biggest stage.
I think Tatum would have went 1 overall if they redid the draft, with Mitchell 2. I feel bad for Fultz, but Ainge could of took him, seen something he didnt like, traded out of that spot, and then lands the true number 1 in the draft. Ainge is a wizard.

I really like them both. The amount of talent thats been infused into the league over the last 2 years is pretty unreal. I feel like there are more teams now that have the starting pieces to be contenders than there have been in a while.

There is a part of me which thinks, you and Ameraves are of course 100% correct.
But there is another part of me which knows, Bron-Bron has a lot of miles on those legs, and even a player as disciplined and focused as him is going to get .... old.
Either way, whenever I am feeling down, I just go on youtube and watch LeBron clips. They work better than pictures of kittens and puppies to me.

Golden State Warriors are America's Team. I'll you what, Tom Landry would have been proud to coach 'em. Drew Pearson himself said he liked Draymond Greene. Good enough for me.

All-NBA teams came out today. Who are the 37 voters who thought KD wasn't one of the best players in the NBA? And Steph only got TWO first-team votes and 39 second-team votes? Westbrook follows up an MVP season with similar stats and only 24 first-team votes, 13 third-team votes.
