Random NBA Observations 2014 - 2015

It'll be intersting to see how they build around shabazz if they choose to. He's there toughest player, cant help but think what if if they kept Derrick Willams. Hed look good in that starting lineup next to shabazz. Minny gotta a lot of pieces but they don't seem to be complimentary. I can see why @tremonthustler1 is frustrated. I think he realizes this too despite the talent.

The guy who used to run their SBNation site called them The Island of Misfit Toys. Nothing really goes together (this was with Love here) but they look functional with good PG play. That just hasn't been there.

If the Wolves get Karl Towns Tre will be smiling from ear to ear and this season will have been worth it for him.

We won't, but I appreciate the sentiment.

I hope we win enough games near the end to be right in line to get Hezonja.

I think you will to be honest, I don't think Thaddeus is the long term solution at the 4, and Okafor / Mudiay will go before him even though I think he has more potential than both.

I called it with beal. He had no reason to speak when waiters made that best backcourt tandem comment



No handles and he isnt as good a shooter as he's made to be

Yeah it pretty obvious. When yall draft do yall do bpa or draft for need cuz houston does bpa and we had a lot of redundant pieces. I wish flip had the balls to use wiggins as trade sweetener and fix that team. I think beal is overrated but inthink he would compliment rubio and shabazz better than Wiggins do.

In the past, both.

Flip seems to be BPA so far in his 2 drafts.

I think Beal is extremely overrated. If he's not hitting a three, he's not really helping you.

For that they might as well do as I hope and just draft Hezonja, but I don't think Flip would draft a SG because he'd be admitting he failed on LaVine and he won't concede that, so I'm already assuming Flip's gonna settle for Cauley-Stein or Harrell (I think both will be garbage in the NBA but that's just me)

Yeah he overated but rubio needs a scorer like him whose primarily a versatile off the ball scorer and beal can shoot from all over the court not just the three. Hes the exact opposite of a scorer like Kmart. I mean they tried getting that with chase but he cant see to stay healthy

 

[CarltonJunior]

Beal can take you off the dribble though, moreso than most shooters in the league, and is actually a good athlete. Much more of a basketball player rather than just a shooter, like an 80's role player.

That's kinda what Flip envisions LaVine to be off the ball

who was the dude who said that toronto was going to run the blazers "out of the gym"?

 

[god shamgod]

the blazers are a dumb ass team.The mental mistakes they were making last night were and that's the 3rd time I've watched them and saw missed ft's,to's,jump passes etc in crunch time.

the shot jacking to close out the game with the turnovers ... it was

Thank God the Bulls made that ridiculous draft-day deal with the Nuggets. They would be fukking loaded if they kept Nurkic and Harris.

Nurkic is gon be a PROBLEM

It worked

Shabazz and Wiggins last night

Those lazy passes by Mo Williams at the end were disgusting. Hayward had nice hands on those steals but they were off lazy passes. He was having trouble with Wiggins all night. Shabazz had a great night. It was good to see him look for the 3 and run to it on some fast breaks instead of always crashing down on the rim. It's good for them to start seeing the ways they can play and feed off each other on the fast break. Hopefully the confidence keeps building and Ricky will bring it all together when he gets fully healthy.

Trey Burke loves killing the Wolves and our front line is just too small to play against teams with 1 quality big let alone 3 like the Jazz got. Dieng played alright, Bennett did what he could but we just wont be able to stop teams from scoring down low or grabbing rebounds when it matters.
