Random NBA Observations 2014 - 2015

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

that high low action between gasol and zbo is so deadly

duncan is having an all star year. Not even a "he's an ATG so let's give him a lifetime achievement" spot, but a legitimate All star

I think you might want to check some games my mans.

Roberson and Thomas are great defenders and can guard 1s, 2s, 3s - Thomas can guard 4s too. Ibaka, Perkins, Adams, KD, Jackson and Westbrook. That's a top 5 defense right there. This is what the Thunder can count on for the first time ever, all-round defense from the starters and bench, from the perimeter to the interior.

Thomas shouldn't be anywhere on the court after KD comes back. He has one of the worst +/- in the entire NBA.

Roberson is holding people down to 25% shooting.

Ibaka is letting 43% FG at the Rim. Adams is letting 46% FGs at the rim.

Durant was always a solid defender, number 1 in isolation defense last season.

Westbrook is solid as well.

Funny thing is Durant dropped 54 on them without Russ, good luck shutting him down.

That paint defense duo with Ibaka and Adams is going to be unreal.

Blake Griffin finally played like he cared and it was beautiful.

Am I the only one that thinks Blake looks rugged w/ the beard

Way more handsome too

Skill set? What skills?

He can shoot, crazy athletic, good passer. Just needs mental development.

Yeah I don't except to see Thomas have see many minutes once KD comes back, but he'll be great for defensive possessions late-in-games and when teams play small ball against OKC.

This game is a great reflection of why both Memphis and Portland will fail in the playoffs. One team doesn't have enough guards/wings that can break down defenses/create their own shot and the other can't defend for shyt.

That's what Perry da Gawd is for.

He even has a post up game.

I don't know if you noticed but KD has a post up game now. Brooks forced Westbrook and Durant to work on it this off season.
