Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

[The War Report]

Nothing against Steph. I enjoyed what he did last season - truly one of the single most enjoyable runs of basketball excellence I have ever watched. Hit its peak with that pull up 3 vs. OKC. Dude looked unstoppable, you started to assume every shot was going to find the bottom of the net. But he hasn't looked the same since the start of the playoffs. Has had moments, but nothing sustained. The thing that turned him into a force of nature was his ability to create separation and finish at such a high rate near the basket. All of a sudden, he wasn't doing either the way I had seen him do it. I don't believe it's a confidence issue, not sure it's knee or ankle related, but it's impossible to watch him right now and not notice he's not on his game the same. It takes a fraction to a second on this level to totally change your game, that's all. Kyrie and Bron have also made his arrogance seem goofy at this point. All that posing and preening gets old when players are bringing it to your chest and embarrassing you.

Curry does look off compared to what he was doing last year but that shyt was an all time great season. He's still putting up numbers in line what he was doing when he won his first MVP.

Khawi has better intangibles, is clearly better on defense, is an elite offensive player. Not out of the world good like Durant but who is? Khawi is one of the greatest impact players I've ever seen from a forward. Even the big ones. On top of that, his passing has improved and his off ball movement is deadly if he's has the ball or not. The one area I would love to see Durant improve his movement off the ball. He's good at it but I want him to be Reggie Miller at it. Or Richard Jefferson. Hell, Steph Curry. He has the movement and the stamina but too many times, I see his ass standing around. That is something you never see Leonard doing.

Kawhi is a good offensive player, not elite like KD. And what intangibles? KD has been the man on a team for a lot longer than Kawhi.

Shooting %s significantly lower. When in theory he should be getting easier shots with Durant around.

I agree but he still has time to bump them up. Maybe it's just the baseball fan in me where I think shyt is gonna even out in the end.

To be real with you the rest of the league figured him out. There's a guy breathing on Steph's neck at all times. And he's playing more PG, last year he was basically a SG, dray took the ball up, steph would run off screens and get 20+ off that alone. He also had the benefit of Bogut setting his screens and Bogut passing him the ball on cuts

Philly has no reason to take that

I don't think Portland would take Noel for CJ. They should be done with injury prone centers.

Why does Portland toronto and boston think anyone wants there players

Just because a piece doesn't fit on one team doesn't mean it won't fit on another.

I'd trade Noel and the Lakers pick for C.J. Other than Fultz I think C.J is better than any of these niccas in the draft.
