Random NBA Observations 2014 - 2015

[CarltonJunior]

Barnes has been underwhelming in every aspect of the game for the Warriors. Never got comfortable, but they did kind of sabotage him by bringing in Iggy

Doc Rivers on the Clip's meeting after last nights game:

"I didn’t say much [after the game]. I just let them blow smoke up each other’s a****. That’s all they did, in my opinion. I just think if you're going to talk, you've got to be real. I’m not a big fan of group meetings unless they’re real group meetings."

Kings are 4-1 ?

 

[tremonthustler1]

I'm still shocked Rubio made 4 jumpers last night, has he been doing this in the other 3 games?

What didn't shock me was Mo Williams being terrible at PG. He kept us in that game with horrible shots and decision making, once Rubio came back it was all over. Its such a drop off from Rubio QBing that offense to Mo.

As far as jumpers? Yes. Finishing at the rim? Never looked better than last night.

As for what you said, now you see what I've been saying about his importance to the team.

I hope the kings can keep it up. They and the pelicans are a little worrisome due to some of the shot selections their perimeter players be taking, especially with the pelicans since sometimes it's like they treat davis like tyson chandler (just rebound our bricks). the kings seem to have a good cohesion/trust between rudy and cousins tho... but collision is that no no no yes type of point guard and since cousins be taking his time to cross half court, you gotta just hope that things go there way in close games and they continue to dodge bullets like they did in the clippers game a few days ago

Why did they sign Williams? Could they find no one else who could run point? With Rubio being so important, you'd think they'd want his backup to be from the same cloth so the bench runs just like the starters do and if Rubio's hurt they can step in.

If Rubio goes down and Mo is running point for 33 minutes a night you may not win until Rubio gets back

Williams was bad last night but Mo>>>> JJ Barera

1. He's capable of putting points up and creating.

2. Shot over 40% from 3 in the 4th quarter last year which is a need

3. He's there to mentor. He's gonna help the youngins and supposedly he's trying to get his name out there to one day coach, so he's looking to Flip for a resume boost.


Decent signing even if it's for a year

I don't mind him overall, I just don't like him as a backup PG in this situation. His shooting and experience are worth it for sure, but I'd rather keep him off the ball and find someone to play with him who can QB the offense.

It just really struck me how your offense goes off a cliff when Rubio sits for Mo. Could LaVine play there when he's ready or is he gonna be a 2.

Lavine is NOT a point guard

Lavine is NOT a point guard

That's why I was asking, I didn't watch any of him over the summer so I wasn't sure. There are sites that list him as PG and I didn't think that was right since I remember he played mostly off ball in College

They've used Mo off the ball with Ricky and that has been good so far.

Now Flip is hoping LaVine could play emergency PG if need be (also part of why JJ got released), but otherwise we'll probably sign another PG
