Caris LeVert named 2nd team NBA's all bubble team

Caris making 2nd team all NBA bubble team is a huge accomplishment. He was fantastic against Portland on the last game of the regular season where they repeatedly ISOed him on Gary Trent and score whenever he wanted to.
He's Beilein's best NBA player to date and I don't think it's close. Duncan Robinson is probably #2 with Tim Hardaway at #3

Lillard unanimous MVP. Fun to watch his 3 game stretch of 150 points.
I've enjoyed the bubble so far. Aside from the Wizards and Kings, it's all been pretty good to really good teams so there were hardly any bad matchups since they resumed. I would have liked to have seen Suns vs Blazers for the 8th seed.

Devin Booker probably would've been an MVP if the Suns somehow managed to make the playoff. He has been fantastic. Nice to see a local kid playing well in the NBA

Dame has been insane. That pull up swished three just across the timeline vs the Nets was really something.

I wonder if he would have been first team if he had hit that game winner vs Portland to send them home?

Duncan is having a great year, but I don't think you can put him ahead of THJ this early. THJ has been a regular starter for multiple years and made a ton of money.
I think Duncan is competing with GR3 and Burke for third thru fifth place.

Duncan is a key component of a team that's expected to compete for the Eastern Conference title. He is probably the 2nd most valuable Wolverine in the NBA right now, and not far behind LeVert (LeVert clearly has the highest ceiling of all 3...would love to see him stay healthy for a season). Top 20 player in offsensive rating, and better than THJ in win share. THJ has been a starter for longer, but it's not a stretch to put Duncan ahead of him.

Duncan is definitely the clear #2 or #3 spot over GR3 and Burke and close with THJ. Duncan is considered a top 5 shooter in the league and an analytics darling while GR3 is just a role player and Burke has been traded around as a bench scorer every year

Caris was absolutely fantastic last night.

Congrats... more work to be done too!!

If I ever have a daughter, I'm going to name her Karen.

Please start a go fund me page to pay for that vasectomy.

Should be a castration for ThePonyConqueror, not a vasectomy.

In all seriousness I don’t get how this one particular name suddenly became “bad” all of a sudden, and how no one seems bothered by the fact that there are probably a ton of girls/women being mocked for this name now.
August 16th, 2020 at 4:55 PM ^
Don't worry the name has been found to only be associated with white skin complexion...so nobody that counts will be bothered

Can't watch Caris in the NBA without thinking about how he all-but-completely lost his junior & senior seasons to injury. Which was a giant bummer.
August 16th, 2020 at 9:20 AM ^
Caris deserves to be traded and get the keys to an offense. Once KD and especially Kyrie come back, he's going to become an afterthought
August 16th, 2020 at 5:44 PM ^
I dunno if Caris should get the keys to a playoff team, I think if he could share them with someone like Jokic that would be ideal, but I'm not sure how Caris and Kyrie can co-exist as well.

OP title almost seems like an oxymoron...except in times of our friend COVID-19 being around, does the bubble mean something else.

It's sad that this post, which includes entirely Michigan related sports discussion, hasn't even broken 20 posts after a day. Probably should've ended the title with ". Covid" to get more views.
