Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[Emoryal]

I can tell that you like to play dumb.

I can tell you know you fukked up so I'll leave you to it.

 

[The Fire]

really hope the cavs don’t trade for Bledsoe. That pick can be turned into Demarcus cousins

 

[Remote]

The Suns want Brogdon for Bledsoe, not that high on Brogdon.

Bucks said no.
Offered Delly instead.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

They also need someone that can create off the dribble, their offense grinds to a halt of shooters just passing to one another because nobody outside of Giannis can really create.

Definitely true, but does Bledsoe's ability to create shots for himself significantly outweigh Brogdon's size, defense, off-the-ball play and shooting ability? Nah. And I mean, where does Giannis go when Bledsoe has the ball? He can't shoot; he'll just be occupying the space which Bledsoe needs to create. Giannis needs a specific roster around him simply because he's extremely limited without the ball in his hands. As you know.

They've been interested in Bledsoe for years so I doubt they're done with negotiations.

The only one who fukked up is you. You know very well I'm using these four games in conjunction with games from previous seasons. If someone were to ask me prior to this season, how would the Spurs defense fare without Kawhi - I'd tell them they would still have one of the best defenses in the league because of what I've seen and know from "games from previous seasons". If all I had to go was four games from this season, you'd have a point, but then again I'd never use JUST four games as an argument.

Good job-good effort from you. Better luck trying to catch me out next time.

MARION DID NOT ISOLATE, MARION DID NOT HANDLE THE BALL WITH OR WITHOUT PICKS, MARION SCORED OFF HUSTLE PLAYS AND CUTS, LIKE U SAID. Josh is already a great perimeter scorer with a arsenal of moves Marion could only dream about. Josh hit jumpers off the bounce with no problem at Kansas and got better and better as the season went on, so far thru 3 games it's the same song, and he has a turn around jumper over either shoulder, has dribble moves on the perimeter and finishing moves at the basket (cradle, euro, spin step, ect). You have no idea what u are talking about my dawg .


And hell fukk naw Marion couldn't get to the rack at will , nikka couldn't dribble, wtf.

Yes, Marion could get to the rack at will. He was a freak athlete he didn't need to do all that dribbling to get to the rack. He also had a low post game with hooks over both shoulders and a good sweeping hook shot. Lol, at Josh Jackson being anywhere near KD you're delusional. Marion was a GREAT player, you acted like it was an insult to compare Jackson to him. Jackson is a glue guy, do it all point forward not a dynamic MVP level scorer. He should be compared to Iguodala types.

Talk about ya boy shooting 52% from the FT stripe.

Giannis is excellent at cutting without the ball, I don't really view him the same as a lot of other wings, he functions like a PF at times because of his size. You don't build around him like LeBron imo, he has shown in the past he can play off the ball if need be where as Bron was horrible moving without it. I look at it as a chance for the Bucks to get out from Mirza or Hensons contract and get a talented player in return who comes off the books in a year and change. They have limited options on improving and outside of maybe Boogie coming up for trade I don't see much else out there for them.

Brogdon is like the modern day Doug Christie to me.

I think that's a guy who has a 10+ year NBA career and a contributor to playoff bound teams, high level role player. Dude is what you call a ball player. His ceiling isn't high but you know you're getting a physical guard with size, I.Q., who defends multiple positions, shoots, and he has sneaky bounce.

I feel Bledsoe takes the ball out of Giannis hands too much. Bled himself is a so-so shooter, while Giannis is a non-shooter. Since, you just spoke on LeBron I think you're underrating his spot up shooting (since Miami he's been very efficient here), his play without the ball as a screen setter and roller, backdoor cuts and lob catching. Giannis can do most of those things except shoot.

Thon and Brogdon should be untouchable in a Bledsoe trade, he isn't worth it IMO.

He's definitely more active than LeBron - but LeBron can still shoot - Giannis can't. Again, the issue is it just only creates a traffic problem for the rest of the lineup whenever he doesn't have the ball in his hands. Any lineup which has Giannis and Bledsoe in it, needs to be filled with floor spacers. Almost always. Whereas with Brogdon, there's more flexibility with what lineups you can put out on the floor. Especially since he can defend multiple positions as well. Can Bledsoe even defend anymore?

I look at it as a chance for the Bucks to get out from Mirza or Hensons contract and get a talented player in return who comes off the books in a year and change. They have limited options on improving and outside of maybe Boogie coming up for trade I don't see much else out there for them.

Which they definitely have to take into account, as it does put them in a tough position with trying to get a right balance between fit and available talent.

You exposed yourself when you blatantly stated you used 4 games as a reference point because it matched the narrative you were trying to make.
The posts are quoted so you can edit either

Have to agree.

You can find another Malcolm Brogdon in the draft but the Bucks clearly need another creator come playoff time.

I did, because it ties into games from previous seasons. It's a reference point, but one of many. Why do you keep on refusing to acknowledge this? It's not just four games by themselves. I don't need to create the narrative - the facts are already there. They've had great success in previous seasons whenever Kawhi's not playing or off the floor, on the defensive end, which is exactly why they've started the season strong on the defensive end. This hasn't just come out of nowhere. We've seen it in games from previous seasons, simply because the Spurs system is built on everyone pulling their weight.

I specifically told you after you initially quoted me -

Because this season is PART of the equation. It's ONE reference point. I'm not just basing it on FOUR games, but the previous seasons where he wasn't playing and/or not on the floor. It's to point out the trend/history.

How hard is this for you to comprehend?

Like I said - good job-good effort.

Not feeling the Brogdon for Bledsoe swap...

Does Bledsoe even know how to play winning basketball anymore?

The way you play on a young team going nowhere like Phoenix is WAY different than the way you play on a Bucks team considering themselves a dark horse to come out the east with an MVP candidate...

In todays nba fit is just as important as talent...

 

[Poitier]

Yall are crazy as hell.

There are a ton of Brogdon 3 and D types and this upcoming draft.

Even Bron needs that other half court creator and we saw that BS Ben did last night.
