Ja dit gaat helemaal niks worden. Word garantie een first round exit, als we die playoffs uberhaupt halen. Schedule van januari is gewoon een bloedbad met bijna alleen maar road games en een pak b2bs. Er is een realistische kans dat we de ASB met een losing record ingaan.
Grootste probleem is wederom injuries want we spelen zonder PG atm, zowel Dragic als Udrih zijn geblesseerd. En verder betalen we Mcroberts en Birdman 10mil samen om als cheerleaders te fungeren...geld dat we prima konden gebruiken voor een reliable 3pt schutter. Onze spacing is zo gruwelijk slecht met Wade die nooit 3tjez neemt en Dragic die geen catch en shoot PG is. Gerald Green is zo ontzettend wisselvallig 3 en Winslow heeft nog geen 2 schoten op rij gemaakt.
Verder heb ik nooit eerder zo een dominante center gezien als Hassan die toch een negatief effect heeft op onze defense, volgens de advanced stats dan. En tbh ook op het veld want vaker dan wel lijkt ie alleen bezig met stats padden en als dat niet lukt laat ie ze hoofd hangen. Wade en Bosh hebben hem al meerdere malen aanepakt, zowel inside de lockerroom als publiekelijk. Die is zo goed als gone deze zomer of Riley moet m nog traden.
Ik verwacht sowieso wel wat actie van Riles dezer dagen. Dit kan zo niet verder.

THE EAST

Frontcourt

LeBron James, Cavaliers — After James took the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals last season, he has led the Eastern Conference in voting this season. An 11-time All-Star, James is shooting a career low 29-percent from the three-point line, but has also averaged 25.1 ppg, 7.2 rpg and 6 apg for the 29-11 Cavs, who are in first place in the Eastern Conference.

Paul George, Pacers — After suffering a compound fracture of his right leg during a USA Basketball scrimmage in the summer of 2014, George missed most of last season, before returning for the final six games. This season, the two-time All-Star George has played in all 42 of Indiana’s games, averaging a career-high 23.7 ppg, along with 4 apg and 7.4 rpg.

Carmelo Anthony, Knicks — Last season, shortly after appearing in his 10th NBA All-Star Game, Anthony had season-ending knee surgery. This season, Anthony is averaging 21.7 ppg in 40 games, and last night passed Larry Bird for 31st place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Anthony has assumed a leadership role for the rebuilding Knicks, who after winning just 17 games a season ago, are currently 22-22 and in contention for a playoff appearance.

Backcourt

Dwayne Wade, Heat — At 34 years old, Wade is a 12-time All-Star. After missing significant chunks of the last few seasons with various injuries, this season Wade has played in 40 of Miami’s 43 games. Wade is averaging 18.1 ppg for the Heat, who are 23-20.

Kyle Lowry — Thank the north. After making his All-Star debut last season and leading the Raptors into the playoffs, Lowry has been even better this season. Through 42 games, the 29-year-old Lowry is averaging a career high 20.9 ppg and 5 rpg, along with 6.5 apg.

THE WEST

Frontcourt

Kobe Bryant, Lakers — For the first time in his career, Bryant was listed among frontcourt players, and he ran away with the vote. A 17-time All-Star, this season has turned into an extended farewell tour for Bryant and the Lakers, who are 9-35 so far this season. Bryant is averaging 16.3 ppg in 36 games this campaign.

Kevin Durant, Thunder — Durant missed most of last season after suffering a foot injury, and underwent several foot surgeries. But this season the 27-year-old Durant has returned to form, averaging 26.5 ppg through 37 games for the Thunder, who are 32-12 under first-year coach Billy Donovan.

Kawhi Leonard, Spurs — The San Antonio Spurs have won five titles during the Gregg Popovich–Tim Duncan era, and while they’ve usually employed an understated form, it’s been hard to overlook them this season, as they’ve racked up a gaudy 36-6 record to start this season. The 24-year-old Leonard has been sensational for the Spurs, averaging a team-high 20.1 ppg as well as playing arguably the best on-ball defense in the NBA.

Backcourt

Stephen Curry, Warriors — Last season’s NBA MVP has been even better this season. A two-time All-Star, Curry has helped the Warriors get off to a 24-0 start while averaging a career-high (and NBA-leading) 29.9 ppg. Remarkably, Curry has done this while playing just 33.9 mpg, while shooting 51 percent from the field, 45 percent behind the three-point line, and 91 percent from the free throw line.

Russell Westbrook, Thunder — Westbrook scored 41 points in last season’s All-Star Game, winning the All-Star Game MVP. This season, the 27-year-old Westbrook has been as dynamic as ever, averaging 24 ppg, 9.8 apg and 7.1 rpg, along with a league-leading 2.5 steals per game.

Tja ach, die front courts. . Het is een waardeloos systeem. Gewoon alleen spelers en coaches laten kiezen.

Anthony Davis? Die had het sowieso niet gered hoor. Green en Cousins hebben veel meer recht op die plek. Al hadden zij eigenlijk allebei moeten starten.
