yeah I've watched some of this. Blake with several fancy dunks in this game. 87-33 now midway through the third. A worrisome moment at the end of the first when a 76er fell into Blake's leg (Philly player was driving and tripped or something). He went to the locker room but came back. Clippers holding Redick out until after the break. They didn't need him tonight. 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists for Blake Griffin. He'll probably take a seat soon. Imagine the numbers he'd hang on Philly if he played all four quarters.
76ers are 9/60 FGs Thaddeus Young is the only 76er to make more than one field goal (5). On the other hand, he's had 14 FGA and his +/- is -52.
This is horrendous basketball. And yeah, Blake had back to back windmill dunks in the 1st half. He's made for this type of game and All Star games where teams let him go up and dunk
With 4:44 left in the third, Wroten made his second FG and finally became the second Philly player to do that. NBA showcased this game by having all the other night games at 6:05.
NBA got lucky getting slightly competitive games between NYK/OKC and CHI/LA consider 2 of those teams are terrible and one is average
http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=400489636 The 45-point margin of victory was the largest for the Clippers' franchise. The previous record was 39, set in a 121-82 win over Chicago on Nov. 24 at Staples Center. ... Griffin limped to the dressing room with a bruised left shin after Wroten fell into him on a foul by Jordan with less 3 minutes left in the opening period. Clippers In Cruise Control With Sunday night's drubbing of the Sixers, the Clippers for the second time this season set the franchise mark for largest margin of victory. Opponent Margin Sunday 76ers 45 2013-14 Bulls 39 1977-78 Bullets 37 1975-76 Cavaliers 37 -- ESPN Stats & Information But the four-time All-Star returned to the bench before the team's highest-scoring quarter of the season ended, and Willie Green put an exclamation point on it with a 3 from the left corner to give Los Angeles a 46-15 cushion. Before Sunday, the Clippers had never beaten Philadelphia by more than 29 points since the franchises first played in 1970-71.
another night with only one late game, and again it's the 76ers getting routed, this time in Oracle. 79-36
I just want to make this clear right now, (just so people cant say I didnt say it in a couple years from): Dante Exum will be the best player in the draft.
I just want to go on the record: Dante Exum will not be the best player in the 2014 draft. He's not in college. He's an Australian high schooler. I guess because he's foreign he can declare right out of HS.
High ceiling, very small floor. I remember when Shaun Livingston declared for the draft and was named the next Magic Johnson (or Penny Hardwaway one of my fav players ever). Appears Exum is in the same boat. Very raw basketball player. I saw him on NBA TV a lil while back
Shows you how much I know :grin: If he's really raw it's very important where he ends up. If he goes to a team like SA or MIA, definitely a lot more upside to becoming a good NBA player than going to Milwalkee or Detroit or a team in confusion like that
He wants to play with Kobe, so he might end up a Laker. The Lakers are a really shitty organization though with no direction so he could end up busting.
Well he has to come through the draft right? I don't know where he would rank, but this 2014 class is supposedly very good. The Lakers are gonna be a lottery team too. I'm guessing they would have to get a pick nearer to 10 or so to pick him. D'Antoni does a good job letting young players showcase their offensive talents. Lets them build their confidence.
Too bad Pringles sucks completely at defense he wouldn't develop on that side of the ball. I would honestly be shocked if Pringles is back with the Lakers next season anyway. Exum would have to come through the draft that's correct. The kid is def a top 5-7 pick depending who comes out. Still like Wiggins, Parker, and Marcus Smart over him though. As an Orlando Magic fan, I have been keeping an eye out on these guys...
Not sure why you would think he wouldn't come through the draft? I'd rather have Wiggins or Parker. Maybe even Embiid.
Well isn't it possible to sign international players without drafting them? Or is that if they've played X number of years in an international league?
Maybe there's some rule if they've played a certain amount of years but basically all foreign players go through the draft. For sure if they haven't played professionally, like Exum, and also guys who have played pro for a few years. Juan Carlos Navarro was playing professionally for five years and then declared for the draft. He went pro in 1997 and was drafted in 2002.
