They are very bad but seems that way for many teams when watching league pass. Clyde is a pretty rough color guy.

Tonight's Rockets game pointed out another bad aspect of DMo being injured. They have only one big in T Jones that can shoot FTs with the rest of them being awful.

You're going to be so pissed when Timmy finally gets the back-to-back championship.

Replays show all ball and no arm actually --- pretty great play from Duncan, as Harden usually gets his shot off against anybody

I saw all arm on the replay but didn't rewind after my first take of being annoyed. Also its fairly crazy how good Duncan still is. I expect him to be a force in the playoffs again this year and that team is yet again peaking at the right time.

Looks like a little bit of ball and some arm. Too close for the refs to call it.

So they say a college team CANT beat an NBA team. I say bullshit. Now, dont get me wrong, I dont think any college team could win more than 11 games or so, but they would squeak out a few wins. You cant tell me Kentucky, Duke, or Wisconsin couldnt beat Minnesota, Knicks or the Lakers. The Lakers especially. They start Jordan Clarkson and Tarik Black. Black was horrible at KU until the end of the season, and averaged only 13mpg, now starts in the NBA lol. For god sakes, Jabari Brown gets big minutes for the Lakers

Looks good to me

Nope. Cause guess what? All of the Lakers players are NBA level players. Some of Kentucky's aren't. And even the ones that do, for the most part, starting their career the way Clarkson has started his would me great for them. Because at this point, Jordan Clarkson has been a really good rookie and his arrow is definitely pointing up.

Lakers would win by 20+.

You see the problem with this thinking right? You speak in absolutes, as in it is impossible. Blasphemy I say. The media loves to talk in absolutes, but thats not how life works. Kentucky would definitely have a chance to beat an NBA team over the course of a season. I would bet sooo much money on it. I cannot begin to tell you how bad the Lakers and Knicks are. Look at their players. They werent even top playera in college. Youre telling me, that in one year, these guys are so much better than anybody they played against in college? I dont buy it. Compared to football, college teams have a much much greater chance

The college players would quit 1/4 way through the season. They'd have to sneak a few out early

Absolutely college teams have a better chance at beating a pro team in basketball than in football, as insignificant of a chance as that is in a purely hypothetical situation, because there is just no way we'll ever be able to test this theory.

Not a chance, those NBA teams would still destroy any joke college team. Kentucky couldn't even run a good half court offense against Wisconsin (a poor defensive college team). How bad would it look against a bunch of the best pros in the world?

How can you explain then Tarik Black, Jordan Clarks9n, Jabari Brown (average college players) playing about half of the meaningful minutes for the Lakers? You cant unless you can just allow yourself to stomach the idea that a college team COULD beat them. Perfectly sound logic. Nobody is saying a college team wouldnt be dead last in the NBA but to say theres no way thry couldn't beat an NBA team is ridiculous
