Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

They're physically similar in height & length, if that's not a fair comparison I don't know what is. Giannis just has a better frame than KD did, and at 18 you could see he had been working out so it's not just an extra offseason -


Giannis as a rookie

Just different frames man. You could tell that Giannis would fill out nicely if he put in work in the gym

while KD you could tell that putting on weight could prove to be a challenge. I think what @Gil Scott-Heroin pointed out is true. KD had an A+ offensive game as soon as he entered the league while Giannis has to work on his overall game.

 

[Malta]

Just wait until the organization realizes that he needs to be the focal point.

@Malta is going to lose his mind when it sinks in and I will keep mentioning him in threads

@Poitier

My man think a dude that can't shoot and struggles at finishing around the rim should be the focal point of an offense

Breh, your man has played 34 games...TOTAL

And yet, they have established him as their franchise player


Ben Simmons is currently having a negative effect on the Sixers offense, not sure why you're riding that wagon so hard when it's clear that they need to let Fultz handle the ball more than him.

Tyson Chandler is one of the worst defensive players in the league.

Eric Bledsoe is mentally checked out of Phoenix.

If he's still on the team beyond Christmas, I'd be shocked.

I think he's disappointed the Kyrie trade with Cleveland didn't go through.

He was this close to playing with his best pal LeBron.

breh might be depressed out there

Did he watch the game yesterday? Simmons was the focal point of the O and Toronto proceeded to wax them

Dude is looking like a tall ass Rondo.

So Toronto is not a better team now?

I did not watch the game, but I believe in the kid. We shall see as the season progresses

Nah that's foul. The kid is only 3 games into his career and shown a ton of promise so far.

They are the better team but Ben clearly struggled against their first unit.

Any team with the size to match up on-ball and a rim protector makes it hard to justify his ball dominance.

 

[Liquid]

I just saw the free throw shooting percentage for the young Australian.

Let me dip out of here for a minute and I will be back.

 

[Liquid]

shyt, I will take him on the knicks any day.
