Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

Booker has had some big games but it's been a down year for him so far. He's getting plenty of minutes, has the green light to shoot whatever he wants, and he's just chucking (and missing). He was moving the ball better last year. I'd rather see him score 10 points efficiently instead of 20 points playing like Brandon Knight. He has plenty of time to shake off the bad habits but it's not a good look right now.

So the Warriors are now the top defensive team in the league (#1 Drtg, lead the league in blocks, steals, and opponent's FG%) and KD has been a major reason why. Sacrificing Bogut's size was worth it

Dude has been a beast in the defensive end. I haven't seen him slouch on defense. He defend the best player on the court and he is having a career high in blocks and rebound. I don't think he gets enough credit for being a great defensive player this season.

That's fine against the rest of the league, against Cleveland though they cannot secure rebounds and gave up 18 offensive rebounds, that's also what happened in the finals, Cavs beating them on the glass.

The Spurs also killed them on the boards too. OKC will do the same.

really thought about it and thibs fukked the wolves something serious with his lineup not showing any flexibility and sticking to his stupid rotations w/o making any adjustments. these nugs kept doubling KAT off rubio and were content to dare rubio to beat them. kudos to KAT for actually making the right pass albeit having to pass to rubio. but how many open jumpers/3s does rubio have to miss before thibs makes an adjustment? put ricky and kris on the bench and bring in a shooter in tyus to space the floor for KAT and dare them to double team him again. Even better, put zach at PG for that stretch, wiggins at SG, and bring in rush or bjelica at the 3 and dare them to double KAT with 3 floor spacers out there. KAT could've had 15 assists last nite if he was making those pases to zach or tyus out of the double team. thibs unwillingness to adjust to certain situations is killing them. what's worse is that rubio fell into the trap of thinking that he was a good shooter after making a couple jumpers. he got confident for no reason and forgot who he was. then threw up brick after brick with zach and wiggins just sitting on the perimeter getting no touches. i don't care how many points rubio scored last nite, he was a huge liabiity (also had some really stupid turnovers) and had them basically playing 4 on 5 offensively.

As a Bulls fan, i appreciate tha job he did with us but dude's lineup skills are suss and he never learned how to be flexible. Im not sure teaching a group of youngins is his steez. Hornacek would have been a better fit

shut up and stop blaming the coach for young dudes not stepping up. Wiggins is supposed to be better then he is now. If Rubio is bricking then he supposed to demand the ball and go to work. That soft Canadian fakkit is the reason the Wolves are bad.

breh, i'm mostly talking about last nite's game. it's clear as day what mike malone's plan was, yet thibs did not adjust at all. yes wiggins missed clutch FTs at the end (which he always does unfortunately) and went up soft on that last play, but that's not what lost them the game overall. he is clearly not consistent nor intense enough to be the alpha male on this team though.

Gobert vs Embiid tonight


Rudy been murdering top centers lately, JoJo better have his A game.

 

[jaguar paw]

Zach Lowe is saying Favors might be available in trade.

Dude stays injured tho....ppl thought he was gonna be tha next Amare or a blacc Blake Griffin. He can be a decent starter but he will never be an All-star
