Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[Professor Emeritus]

I don't catch much of Ibaka's game to thoroughly assess it, but what's up with the lack of boards? He has the stature to avg a double double, yet never has.

Only reason I'm asking is because looking at box scores for games & happened to glance at him in particular

Sometimes really active defenders who are always looking for blocks aren't in position to grab the boards because they're challenging the shot.

Also, on offense he began floating out into that "stretch" role a lot more three years ago and his offensive boards immediately nose-dived as a result.

It was a quiet 21 for Wiggins to me. 9 in the first quarter, 12 at half but he never showed an interest in taking over the scoring especially when he was out there with the bench in the late 3rd. He hardly posts up any more and rarely looks like he dribbles with an intent of getting to the rim but looking for space to pull up.

His defense is underrated though. His one on one is pretty good it's just lack of activity anywhere else in the game. Rarely cutting, rarely trying to jump passing lanes, no grabbing rebounds and pushing. Just things you think he would want to do and easy ways to get himself going but he does none of it. And watching Jimmy Butler do it regardless of how his shot is working makes it all the more glaring.

This Lakers/Grizzlies game has been the worst quarter of bball I've seen this season.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Deron Williams needs to come save the Lakers, tired of clarkson and Ennis trying to play pg

 

[Mars]

Wiggins,Dieng,and 1st rd pick for Whiteside and Winslow...

why doesn't shabazz muhammad get any run?

Well.....because he sucks. No jumper, and he could have 3 guys to his left and nothing to his right but he'd still go left because he is incapable of going right. Kind of easy to defend.

He's got an ugly ass game but can't lie, Butler's balling

He could be such a dangerous cutter with his athleticism & probably get about 4-6 more points a game if he committed to doing it. But you know how Wiggs is.

Cavs going life and death with the Kings

 

[The God Poster]

If KCP shoot one more dumb ass shot

 

[ISO]

So if I’m reading this correctly the Kings starting 5 was

Zach Randolph
Malachi Richardson
Garett Temple
George Hill
Frank Mason

I hope with Lonzo out despite stats he can get some credit for the teams overall competitiveness in games versus last season.

 

[The Frozen One]

the jazz have literally made the warriors fan fall asleep

Cleveland needs a 2nd playmaker in the starting lineup.
