@Walt you really enjoy watching isaiah thomas? :francis:
that little nikka is literally a 8 inch shorter version of harden when he attacks
nikka flops just as much as harden too...it just looks worse cause he's tiny
must be a personal thing...cause everytime i see him go in the lane...he jerks his head back like he been shot

only reason someone so small gets so many FT attempts

The times I've watched him have almost always been 4th quarters, and I've seen him bussin people's asses. Haven't really seen the flopping at all. But if I see extra funky shyt from him, he'll lose his spot on my list. CP3 was one of my favorite players for years until the flopping got so sinister I couldn't stand watching him.

Congrats on having the same amount of wins as two of the youngest teams in the league.

Pistons aren't really working out though. They got a few good pieces, but also ones that are just poor fits(Jackson) or aren't developing as well as they thought(Johnson/Drummond). I think Drummond not turning into a franchise level player really sort of fukked SVG's plan to build around him as he's not adding a whole lot offensively and his defense is nowhere close to what Dwight gave him in Orlando.

I also didn't know they were one of the younger teams, but I guess they don't really got many vets/players over 30.

They still have a ton of moveable assets, which the Knicks really don't have.


Jackson is the biggest problem for them, not Drummond, most of their problems can be traced to him.

Watching Sportscenter after the Aussie Open, and they went from Clippers/Warriors right into Pepperdine/Gonzaga. It looked like the college game was in slow motion. :hhh:

Nah it all starts with Drummond too. The reason lineup changes they been experimenting with is all because of Drummonds. He's young but at this point he's just not where SVG expects him to be as a player. Because of this Jackson is playing a bigger role than he needs/expected to be.


On both sides of the floor, Drummond is lacking.



But Drummond, despite his physical tools, is not as fearsome a rim protector as he should be. Opponents know they can score on him, so they attack him even when he stays back.

The numbers show that Drummond simply doesn't intimidate opponents. They took more close shots with him on the court than off, per NBA.com’s stats page. He also doesn't have a huge effect at the team or individual level. When he was playing, the Pistons allowed a slightly higher field goal percentage on shots in the restricted area and opponents shot a high 52 percent on shots he contested at the rim. Drummond actually saved a negative number of points at the rim per game, according to an advanced metric by stat site Nylon Calculus.

I'm dying at the Phoenix/Denver box score. The Suns are +19 in Booker's 22 minutes so far and -32 in Brandon Knight's 15. :heh:

That's a 51 point swing. :mindblown:

Story of his life.I've been saying the offense runs better when they run it through Booker.

Problem with that, Bledsoe has this idea of being Allen Iverson.

Goes whole possessions just dribbling out the clock or chucking 3's like Steph Curry.

Bleds is a 30% 3pt shooter:damn:


I guess he learned that driblbe dribble shyt playing behind CP3.Problem with that

he has nowhere near the court vision/passing skills of CP3.

It's like "Nicca we know you just dribbling to score yourself a bucket:childplease:"

Defenses don't honor that shyt.

If I'm the Suns, I'd trade Bledsoe right now.He's playing the best ball of his career

Well, I should say putting up the best stats of his career.
