Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

[KOBE]

Aint' no "ya, but" breh . Regardless of what you think about the sample size or even the validity of the sample, there is no way you can come to the conclusion that the "east sucks" based off said sample. You wanna go on a west is the best/leastern conference rant? Feel free. That graphic doesn't support it and thusly should not be used if that's where you wanna go.

I wasn't using the graphic to support my statement, I was disregarding the graphic as meaningless.

"East has one top in the top 6 in reality and even the Cavs are struggling against the West. Look at the conference standings, not dumbass standings through christmas."

I even say to look at the conference standings and disregard the graphic that covers standings through christmas.

You quoted me, correct? What did I say in my quote? Was there not a very clear reference to that graphic and that graphic only as the basis for what I said? I don't know what to tell you if you don't understand what I am saying or my basis for saying it despite the fact that I have made it clear numerous times in multiple ways.

I didn't realize the Raptors fell off so hard too

The Bulls will all their dysfunction ahead of Cavs/Raptors

The East is terrible

Literally every season teams slump

Its the Warriors then it's everyone else.

Spurs and Cavs the only challenges out there as of right now

I think Utah could put up a fight if they keep everyone healthy.

NOPE i dont think there is a challenger....Spurs or Cavs cant compete with 4 all stars...i believe GS is gonna run thru to the 'ship preety easily this year...

4-1 Spurs 4-1 Cavs...

Based off what?..randle plays outside the paint in most half court sets. He doesnt just camp out in the paint, a majority of his point are drives from the perimeter

You've been wrong about Randle to this point, why continue? Since Randle cannot shoot, what exactly do you think his defender will do when he doesn't have the ball and Zubac does?

 

[Dwight Howard]

no youve been wrong. you said he would never be an effective scorer cause his arm length, yet, somehow he averaging 13ppg of 48% and will only get better. no player develops a jumper overnight, but he has improved since last year and will continue to. if Zubac is getting doubled he pass back out to Randle who would have a free lane to the basket. Randle is at his best when slashing from the perimeter so it would actually be an advantage

leaving open a 6'9 250lb slasher with ball skills...what could go wrong

to illustrate my point:




Jazz left him open on the perimeter throughout the game, and well.. it didnt end well. even with the best rim protector in the league

you always trying to find a way to make LA's pieces not fit, yet have no problem and actually advocated for Noel and Embid. Noel is a worse shooter than Randle, yet you seem to think playing Noel/Embid wouldnt be an issue

this seems rather contradictory

I said he had a low ceiling, and you're coming back talking about 13ppg


You sound hurt, you can ask your boss @CantStop and he'll tell you that I've liked Ingram, Russell and Zubac from the jump.


Embiid is a better shooter than Zubac, don't try and bring the Young Prince into this. And I'm @ you posting that Randle video every chance you get, his first good game in 7 tries vs the Jazz, congrats.

That the Wolves are tending in the right direction

As much as I want Randle to succeed, I'm not putting the effort to Stan him if he ain't putting the effort on the court. The game vs the blazers was the straw that broke the camel back. When he just let CJ get the o board and let him back up to the 3 pt line and he stood there like a statue, I lost it. So did Luke, he benched him immediately and cussed him out. @Dwight Howard youre a better man than me I tell you.

nah you specifically said his length would make it hard for him to finish. you called him t-rex.

yea Embiid is a better shooter, but the fact remains, you said Noel and Embiid could work but Randle/Zubac cant despite Randle being a more offensively capable player. You used the hypothetical of Randle's man doubling Zubac cause Randle cant shoot. well then wtf happens when Noel's guy is doubling Embiid? Noel cant shoot nor does he have Randle's ball skills to slash. you shot yourself in the foot. using your own logic, Noel and Embiid would be a worse offensive pairing yet you advocate for it. wonder why?

and that Jazz game was the most recent game, he destroyed that frontcourt with finesse and power.
