    are you f'ing r****ded?
    1st pick was their leading scorer and had the best +/-, a 3rd pick was 2nd leading scorer on the bench, a 7th pick was a starter, andre iguodala 9th pick, and wiseman a 2nd overall would likely be playing if he were not injured. so...

    7, 7, 1, 3, 2, 9, 11 that is 6 top 10 picks that would be in the rotation and a 11th pick. or 7 of their top 10 players or so would be picked in the top 11.

    you are not proving a point. you are wrong. i dont even want to say you dont understand math or statistics. you are just in plain site simply ignoring facts.

    And they got both klay and steph with some of the most egregious throwing games ever in the nba (not to mention that’s how houston got hakeem or the spurs got duncan)

    or, how many of the top 75 players all time are top 10 picks. or those 75 nba championships how many of them have 1-3 top 10 players.

    hint. it's a majority of them

    it's a joke of a premise

    no. after going from the oldest team in the league. you compete instantly and sign as many free agents as possible because they were all eager to come to houston and let KJ Martin & Tate lead you to your destiny.

    Some of you have way more patience than I do…. The ignore function works wonders.

    Take that for data.

    There is the Invisible Ignore option where you sit those out without ever looking at the posts.

    1. CONFIRMATION BIAS...just because truout history 'shitty'(according to todays standards) GMs falsely believed top picks were better and thus gave them more chances and opportunities it doesnt mean they were more talented and better...and the teams wouldnt be better off drafting different folks throwing abundance of opportunities at them instead...

    2. another fallacy is the talent pool is same ....unlike what happened in the past where it was mostly americans and college guys, the talent pool has TOTALLY AND SUBSTANTIAL changed...the talent pool today is the entire world and the kids EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD have the entire basketball explained at the click of the mouse disposal..also europeans cant ball fallacy is gone...
    noone is more talented than the other amongst top 100 young players in the world

    DO I ALSO HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU SCOUTING IS INFINITELY BETTER NOW?

    3. Things are set in stone fallacy
    even top 1/5/10/20/30 stars/superstars in their prime list in the nba is fluid....ITS ABSOLUTELY FLUID.......its different every year...(helooooooo braiiiiiiinnnn!!!)

    how can anyone think that kids at age of 19 list is set in stone FOREVER then?

    dosnt make sense whatsoever!

    No it was the guy that was always smoking a cigar (and burnt the xmas tree down). I think they are different people though.

    That Curry flop on Desmond Bane to draw the over the back foul deserves more ire.

    Also that Jordan Poole soft touch foul to give the Warriors free throws with under a minute left was so bad. How are you to call that in a close game? Gifting free points.
