[Edub]

Good. Hope they lose it all so the nba can realize this current style of play ain’t working.

It's all about balance, my g.

A balance of knowing when to shoot and when to pass. The guys on the team right now look to score far too often, and their movement is non-existent when they don't have the ball in their hands; CP3 is someone who's closer to the other end of the spectrum, when he doesn't look to score when he needs to.

There's only a handful of players in the league that have got the balance right.

Not tryna derail thread so ima jus say my point is basketball fans speak in absolute too much witout proper context, dudes were in here sayin that U need to be a scorer > passer to succeed but some of us been known that’s not the case

basketball fans jus get too enamored wit scoring forget about the other elements of the game that make scoring so important

I was saying something similar in the Steve Kerr Basketball players should learn to play soccer thread.

You need to be a scorer when the moment comes calling. I gather that's what folks allude to.

What folks are talking about in here is, there needs to be playmaking, in general. It's no different Team USA was full of playmakers and no scorers, which in that scenario if that team lost, folks in here would be saying the team needs scoring.

Tried to tell you silly “bag” mfs that Durant has more weaknesses than LeBron and Giannis but all y’all care about is can someone shoot contested mid-range shots

I don’t think it’s the playing style it’s the team makeup

It’s easy for nikkas like us on the couch to seem when it a team needs scoring/playmakin and that’s def tuff to asses when your team relies on U for both

And a team wit too much playmakin isn’t even realistic brodie lol what players could make up that team?

 

[Karume]

is the seeming elevation of combo guards over the traditional pg the reason for our decline?

I mean, basically everyone on this team just wants to do a dump step back three, or pass up a good 2 for a contested 3. It’s maddening.

You a dikk eater bro nobody cares about Lebron, KD ain’t the only nikka on this team.

 

[Primetime]

They needed Harden but he wanted to hang with lil baby

He'd have put life into that trash offense but not on one hamstring. That's the reason he rescinded his plan to join them
