Random NBA Observations 2018 - 2019

[Nero Christ]

He has 14 attempts in February

Too small of a sample size to mean anything

it's more about the fact that he is taking & making them more than before which is the problem for teams

He's hesitating less on them, not allowing the offense to stagnate as much...a couple of games ago he even hit a walk up 3 ala Durant

No one would say he is great shooter now, but his form is solid and the confidence is growing

Just saw Gasols Raptor highlights .. this team is gonna be tough to beat in 7. Philly/Toronto will be a bloodbath

I still think Milwaukee can't be slept on. With all the shooting around Giannis it makes it much harder to gameplan and pack the paint around him. Toronto's depth won't matter as much in the playoffs and I'm still worried how consistent Lowry will be in the playoffs. I don't totally trust Brett Brown as a coach and with all those volatile personalities I could see them imploding in the playoffs. Also curious how Ben Simmons lack of shooting will affect things.

curious to see how this affects Giannis in playoffs as well. I think the Bucks offense will slow down a bit during playoff ball

I'm not as worried about it with Giannis since the paint is his. With the Sixers all their guys can step outside, but Butler, Harris, and of course Embiid like operating in the paint as well. When those guys are working I wonder what they'll do with Simmons and if it'll force Philly to play more outside in. With Giannis you have to double him down there and the other 4 are more comfortable bombing from outside so I don't see his lack of shooting stifling other teammate's games IMO.

 

[CarltonJunior]

Jeremy Lin to Toronto

He might actually be better than FVV in this offense if given the opportunity

People might think I am crazy but Bucks remind me of 76ers team of last year. They have a dominated guy in the paint with Giannis Embiid and they have a bunch of shooters Lopez Mitrocic Ersan Belli wingman with Middleton Cov

I think come playoff time Bucks will get exploited by perimeter play and faster forwards like Raptors 76ers Boston. The Bucks don't match up good at all. Their backcourt is undersized compared to 76ers and if the 76ers is smart I will put Embiid on Giannis Simmons on Lopez.

Defense going to be their weaknesses if they play Mitrocic Irsan Lopez

 

[Leasy]

The Raptors and 76ers will offer the worst matchups for any team come playoffs. People forget sixers starting line up besides Reddikk is 6'8 and above that shyt is dangerous as fukk

Milwaukee cant be slept on because they have a lot of underrated players. those guys dont put up eye popping numbers but they have a core of balanced players as far as offense and defense. the shooting additions are HUGE. I am not sold on Toronto, while Marc is good, he doesnt fit the uptempo game. he is good to throw it inside to and get buckets especially when the game is on the line but they have to find a good balance with him. losing Van Fleet they need him back asap.

Philly is tough...but Jimmy is the key.

 

[blac_da_rappa]

Is he starting?

No he probably just gotta get in a rhythm..I was hoping Thunder coulda got him.. Great pick up for Detroit though

he rarely goes on cold streaks like that. when he is on, he can kill you. I remember a game last year where he came off the bench and hit 6 threes in one quarter.
