They have had team on court issues but his knee is recovered and he looked good in the playoffs besides his 3 point shot. He averaged 26 ppg and 11.5 assists.

Some of that drama was with Gortat who is gone.

He will have a better year than he did last year unless he gets a new injury. The injury derailed his season.

But I guess we will see. Personally I would be shocked if he doesnt play better than last year when he was hobbled and missed half the season.

aren't his knees slowly degenerating ? Hasn't he had some kind of procedure pretty much every year in recent memory ?

The feedback about the roster I picked is a lot weaker than I expected. As Hekate said I always try something new every year. This time I wanted to go for names that shine more on people's minds subconsciously while voting. I suspect the majority of the voters don't read the write-ups, posts, even subs, and just spend about 1 minute to check the starters and evaluate before voting. I don't like my roster neither. I think I'll go back to another method from now on.

Not sure how Dwight fits that strategy though...
 
Both teams are stacked. Unlucky that this is a first round match-up.
Both teams would be shattered they don't get to take on Ruby's rabble :)

Durant is by far the best player on the court, but I dont really like the team around him. Wall did shoot decent from 3 this year but was awful in the playoffs from 3. Wiggins could improve but was not good last year. Howard sucks and isnt a starter anymore for a decent team. Love can shoot but it terrible on defense especially as a PF.

Simmons will have to be the PG since he cant play off ball and hopefully he learns to shoot or all teams will play him like Boston did and he was unplayable at times in that series. Young is heading downhill and will continue next year. I am not sure he is a starter in the NBA anymore. Beal and Porter are about as good as you get shooting wise at those positions. I think it would be better to put Porter at the 4 and start Booker.

This is a hard one for me.

Wall > Simmons
Wiggins < Beal
Durant >> Porter
Love > Young
Howard < Capela

Addy is better at 3 starting positions. Rgiss has a much deeper team. Capela and Jordan cant play together but they dominate that center position for the whole game. Booker is much better than anyone on Addys bench.

Almost every team at times tried to defend Simmons the way Boston did... He was good enough to deal with it against pretty much everyone else. There is almost zero chance Wall is as good of a basketball player as Simmons this year

They did. Did you watch the series?

Simmons stats dropped off big time in that series. But even more importantly he was unplayable at the end of the game. The 76ers went with TJ at PG towards the end of the series and games and played more minutes in the game they actually won and the last 2 games.

Simmons only scored 14.4 points on 47% shooting in that series, his assists dropped to 6.4 and his TOV jumped up to 4.8 per game. His +/- was negative and his net rating was -17.7 against Boston.

Edit: Oh, I see what you mean know. You meant why other teams didnt. I misread your post.

To answer that the Celtics is the last game he played, they showed the blue print for other teams.

Most people predicted Simmons would struggle in the playoffs when there is more 1/2 court offense and you can game plan more for specific players. This will continue to happen every playoffs until he learns to shoot. He will continue to put up inflated stats due to the system in the regular season, but more and more teams will leave him wide open and cut off the passing lanes like Boston did.

He will have a consistent jump shot if that happens. That would revolutionize his game. But that isn't happening next year, when this is based on. It also might never happen I have no idea.


But obviously your expectations are through the roof for him.

Westbrook won the MVP so who knows, crazy things happen.
 
I haven't voted yet, I really don't like either team. Just can't figure which team I dislike less.
 
How is this even close? Rgiss starters except Beal and Porter can't shoot.
