Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

call me crazy, but i think thibs should say fukk it and try a few minutes with lavine at the 1 with a remaining lineup of wiggins/bjelica/KAT/dieng. lavine's ball handling and decison making has been leaps and bounds better this year with the ball. He would provide the shooting out of the PG position that they sorely lack. I only worry about the defense of a unit like this.

Towns wasn't this bad defensively until Thibs started coaching him

 

[jwinfield]

Rondo effect

 

[I AM WARHOL]

He's playing for his contract from his next team.

He better hope that team likes players who dont pass

 

[funkee]

Maybe nerlens Noel? But isn't that what Dieng and Aldrich are supposed to be?


Somebody go get Nerlens I'm about to become A Cavs:76ers fan.

yea, i've seen nerlens name brought up a few times

Sad part is with his resistance to passing feels like I haven't seen him score more than 5 times all season.

exactly. I hope he understands how he looks to suitors

This lineup defensively..

lavine's scared to get his 2nd foul and playing shyt D on wade. they need to put dunn on wade and lavine on canaan. and dunn drives into defense and trips over himself at least 2 times a game. he has a real shaky handle and balance sometimes.

Your an actual fan of the team but the times I saw them forcing Lavine at PG he doesn't look good at all he's obsviously going to be a SG with good range who can hit the 3 ball who will hopefully become at least average on defense, I do think he can play the pg in a pinch.

LaVine at the 1 does not work. Stop forcing this rhetoric.

Dunn just struggles in ways that a guy who's older than the rest of the core shouldn't struggle in.

I dont mean on a regular basis, but i think in certain spots/depending on matchups, that it would work with thibs offense. half the time rubio just dribbles downcourt and hands off to wiggins and goes in the corner. think if that was lavine in the corner or anywhere else as a threat from 3. That would open up the lane for both wiggins and KAT a lot more.

 

[funkee]

that's how the wolves should be moving the ball

 

[Malta]

KAT is a PF, the sooner they realize that the better they'll be, the masquerade of him playing C needs to end.
