Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[Primetime]

What's happening with the Rockets right now is exactly why we had that discussion just a few weeks ago about how it'd bite us in the ass playing Harden 40 damn minutes on a bum leg + overextending an old Ariza and a CP3 just coming back from injury... just to squeak out wins against bum teams in December... as if we were going to win the top seed by X-Mas with that win streak.

I understand Ryan Anderson is a bum and we got some no-names on the bench that we don't want on the court, but they gon play one way or another; either we integrate them when our team is healthy, in a system that cuts down the minutes, and live with the results.. or we wait til our starters are broken down, injured, and surprise we're forced to play those same bum bench guys anyway, but now we limping to the finish line. It's a marathon not a sprint; so we need a system in place for our other guys to operate some type of play-calling / ball movement that doesn't necessarily involve CP3/Harden/Gordon iso dribbling.

They can spam that in the playoffs, but we need some preventive maintenance in the reg season.

I can't blame him but they need to let him run against the Celtics...And I think he should start any game he plays in and just keep him on the minutes restriction...Just a confidence thing. But I don't think he's hurting for that.

Won't be shocked if Thomas was like " if you're going to put me on a minutes restriction against Boston then don't play me at all "

The thing that stands out most to me is the pelicans record. How you have 2 of the top 10 players in the league and still be a 500 team? You had all of last season and the offseason to gel and still nothing. Is is the coach? Or it’s just a plane fact that these two are stat padding overrated ball players? I’ve seen superstars with less carry their teams into playoffs and beyond.

They do the same thing breh That trade made 0 sense other than the Kings wanted to get rid of boogie after him running through 6 coaches

I didn't realize the season was over already, you went silent for 2 weeks cause the Lakers were 7-10 in the draft, now you're back and talking as though all these shyt teams aren't separated by 2 games


The Lakers brutal stretch of the season is almost over, and I expect you to slink back into your hole like before.

I went silent? Didn’t I tell you the lakers were about to fall off and you denied it? Didn’t I call this? Stop lying.

But yeah I’m sure the lakers will be much better after they trade clarkson and randle

So thru all your box score analytics u haven't at all noticed Tatum's isolation game????? I mean like, not at all bro bro???? nikkas are getting assaits for isolation 1-2 dribble pull ups also nowadays and Tatum does a lot of those.

No, I don't think Tatum can ISO well enough + create for others to build a whole offense around.
I do think Fultz and Mitchell have that potential.

The worst part of their schedule has them two games behind the rest of the pack, how will they ever recover

As for lying? The site has a search function, you went damn near 3 weeks without bringing up shyt now you're back like a roach

This.. the fact we have stayed competiive without Ball is not a good sign for that pick.

Ball has been out like a week and how have you stayed competitive?

Randle and clarkson gonna get moved, Lakers aren’t gonna take back any salary past this season so chances of them trading them and upgrading is zero.

Did I not tell you about this rough stretch for the lakers where they were gonna slide to the bottom? Yes I did. Like you said, search it.

So I got quiet while the lakers were proving me right and you wrong? Does that even make sense?

You’ve been completely wrong about everything celtics for years and you’ve exposed yourself. Must have had some guy from Boston fukk your girl or something cause the hate with you is strong

Honestly, I'm thinking this is all Cleveland. These are the same guys that last year said they had the mental edge over the Warriors when they beat them on Christmas and were thinking about resting players when they met again the second time. They're definitely trying to control a narrative here. Probably don't want to feel the knee jerk if they lose.

That "ginger bred muthafukka" and his 3-pt shooting, and a bunch of role players just ran through your squad.
