Random NBA Observations 2018 - 2019

@Tony_Bromo WHY DID ROSE ONLY TAKE 4 SHOTS?

nikkaS TRYING TO BUILD KATS CONFIDENCE
VS HOUSTON?



​

He mostly passed the ball, a lot

 

[CHICAGO]

He mostly passed the ball, a lot

THAT MUCH IS OBVIOUS.

I SEE KAT HAD 24 PTS ON 24 SHOTS.

SEEMS LIKE THEY WERE FORCE FEEDING HIM.

Interested to see how the T'Wolves look for the first time with Covington and Saric. I honestly think they'll make a run for the playoffs if they can stay healthy.

Before Covington trade - T'Wolves ranked 29th on defense (4-9 record)
After Covington trade - T'Wolves ranked 2nd on defense (8-3 record)

Obviously, there are # of factors that aren't directly influenced by him, but he's providing some top-10 defensive player type-impact; he isn't the M2M defender Kawhi is, but he's a better team defender. The energy and acumen he's providing through this honeymoon phase seem to be contagious too - both Wiggins and KAT are more engaged and are making smarter decisions on that side of the floor.

He was a damn good defender in Philly, but I don't recall him being this effective.

i wish the nba could flex christmas day games.

12:00 pistons at celtics - ESPN
2:30 thunder at raptors - ABC
5:30 Sixers at Warriors - ABC
8:00 Bucks at Houston - ESPN
10:30 Nuggets at Lakers - TNT

That’s not a flex. That’s just making up the schedule as you go along

i know, i wish they could have a TBD on christmas day and select say 14 teams from the start of the season and of those 14 teams 10 play on christmas and the other 4 teams play the next day. Sort of like lets see who's good or who sucks

 

[NoHalfWay]

Outside of Adams & Grant, Thunder didn't really have a great offensive game. That fukking defense was insane though

Breh this the deepest roster OKC’s ever had.

Best defensive team in the league, with no Robes???

They got arguably the best backup PG in the game.

Klay peeeettttttty

 

[blac_da_rappa]

I think the Jimmy situation lit a fire under KAT and Wiggins because he publicly called out their will to compete and win. They got checked hard on their desire.

Covington is one of my favorite young wings though, I love how hard he plays at he does a little bit of everything well.
