Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

[TrillaMonsoon]

Dragan Bender looking good out there

The couple times I've seen the Suns he's always popped out to me. He looks like a basketball player. He moves good for a dude his size and he seemed confident shooting even though the ball was going all over. Him Warren and Booker should be fun to watch for a while. Especially once you figure out the PG spot

Is this Otto Porter surge legit? Dude been balling like crazy over the last few weeks. I think him turning it on is what helped turn Washington's season around.

I think it's legit, he was pretty good last year, he just needs to be aggressive. The talent is clearly there.



Unrelated, the Jabari/Giannis duo is blossoming into a deadly combo. Middleton going out was a blow to their team but it's forced those two to become a problem.

Q

No shooting

It'd not that simple at all. Reggie came back and the offensive flow pretty much died. Ball was being spread and Ish was pushing the tempo. Reggie came back and dominated the ball and it seemed everybody else git out of rhythm. KCP clearly worked on his game in the offseason and looked good with the increased usage, then reggie cane and dominated the ball. Defense had suffered tremendously as well. Chemistry just all fukked up.

Them nikkas are a tough guard. Way too much length with perimeter skills. Pistons had absolutely no answer for Jabari tonight. nikka got whatever he wanted.

That's where I hope they go in the draft.Deepest pg class in a while.

I'm not opposed to having 3 pg's in rotation.Just as long they're competent.

If the Suns got rid of Brandon Knight and replaced him with Fultz or Ball, I wouldn't be mad

Keep Bledsoe around until they develop, then trade his azz for something decent.

Coli if russy averages a triple double and the thunder win 50 games, should he the 2nd unanimous MVP in league history?

Depends what happens with James Harden, no way he doesn't get MVP 1st place votes if the Rockets are a top 3 seed

 

[Flight]

Dunn is throwing some bricks at the rim right now.

 

[twan83]

Game showing that kawhi defense is sorely missed cuz they killing us on offense

Reason he is dpoyx2 and why teams pulled him away from basket so they can abuse the rest of the team
He ain't even playing so that 4x4 plan ain't needed it's 5x5

All that shyt bout his opp have high scoring pctg now against him shows y cuz he has to bail his teammates out all the time with help D which leaves his guy open

Jabari going at opposing PF's is usually just a nightmare to check, and the Greek with them 2 steps that cover 38 feet is just


The Pistons need to do something about Jackson, he's sucked the life out the team and basically killed whatever breakout KCP was about to have.

I'm so straight on that nikka right now. Calls his number far to often when we got capable scorers around him. nikka just kill the offensive flow pounding the rock waiting for the right pnr. I prefer kcp ruining the pnr to reggie now. Much more unselfish and a better shooter/ decision maker. We looking lottery bound at this point but we already played too well for it to be a good pick. Wish we could grab one of these pg's from the draft and hit the reset button.

Ain't he in a contract year

They are going to be so damn scary in two years. Two superstars in the making plus a great third banana. Get them even an average point guard that can knock down outside shots and a defensive center and they'll be contending within those two years. I actually love Monroe and Beasley off the bench even though keeping Monroe at that price might be too much.

Rose getting up every shot he can with Melo out

He's been awful, an absolute flow killer, they were better when Ish was starting and like you said KCP was figuring out how to run an offense. This dude comes back and it's back to stand and wait for KCP, I wonder how much longer Stan will allow Reggie to just go out there and kill the flow.

They got their PG, Malcolm Brogdon was steal of the draft, plays excellent defense and is hitting the three at 44% right now. They fukked up with the Plumlee contract but you can see what they ultimately want in the future, which is Thon playing C and giving Jabari/Giannis space.
