    I think Durant’s ankle is healthy, he’s just pushing 40 and playing heavy minutes.

    If you believe saying ‘Sengun is Scola’ is calling it what it is, then you’ll be mocked and everybody does, not just me.

    we have been enjoying the ride for a long time, good for you to join.

    You forgot to mention his contract, he s expected to do all this and not getting max.

    IMHO, he was very close to Scola until he learned to hit the 3ball and that is not a knock on Alpi at all.

    Scola was a beast.....but that is just my take - why does it bother you so much what other people think?

    Who cares, just be a fan.

    But sure, if it makes you feel good to mock, that just leads to you being ignored.....

    As I said and got flamed for (suck a dick Amen-homers!) Alpi's much closer to being a top 5 player than Amen right now. Looks like the leap he started making in Eurobasket is carrying through into this season like we hoped. Whilst I'm not going to fully say he'll be top 5, I think he's got a damn good shot at at least somewhere in the all-NBA list. Awesome stuff.

    It's because he only got to like 0.5 Barkleys wide. The metric for big men under 6'8 is at least 0.75 on the Barkley scale. Zion might be a shooting guard now too.

    it doesn’t bother me. It is a forum for interaction. If your only contribution to this thread is ‘he is scola’ or ‘I am on board with him now that he is at mvp level on a non-max contract.’ then you get this response. Make a meaningful contribution and you will get a different response.

    Here is an idea, I will do me, and you do you, if all you do is mock and worry about 1 player, you aren't a meaningful poster.

    I am doing me and you are doing you. I contribute in many ways to this thread and all you do is spit the same words over and over again and complain when you get called out. You are bothered with what I said and somehow act as if it is the other way around.

    Everyone wants to talk for literal years about how a certain player would never amount to anything, totally getting the cfans.net mob riled up, arguing that they are no good, then that they are maybe an off-the-bench player to run the second unit while Bruno lobs for the first, then that they are a flawed starter, then that they are just literally Scola, and when they finally get proven thoroughly wrong, then they want to lament and complaint that non-haters should just let things go after a few weeks of being proven right despite their repeated hammering of the players who saw that player's potential from the first SL game.

    What should have happened is that people should have toned down their hateful rhetoric for the past 4 years, and recognize they were wrong, and eat their crow repeatedly instead of whining that they are being called out. If you can solidly spend 4 years putting down players, you can certainly take a few weeks, at least, of having the people who were right all along finally get to do their winning laps around the forum. Next time don't be such haters.

    Like it or not, ATW was right.
