Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

[WaveMolecules]

3pt shot obsession has ruined the NBA.

Once Marcus Morris returns,

Ibaka
Morris
Batum
Leonard
George

and

Zubac
Ibaka
Morris
Leonard
George

Are the two fukkery lineups i'd be curious to see LAC roll out for stretches. They went from being an undersized team that got bullied on switches by Luka and Jokic, to now being able to boast a twin tower 7ft combo surrounded by 6'8+ defenders.

Pandemic has to embrace his inner Scot Pippen. He's capable of being a point F. Take over when needed, but he should avg 6-7 dimes on this team with Kawhi, Kennard, Zubac, Mook & Ibaka.

Yup. Lue already said they want Kawhi operating out of the post on some Jordan/Kobe triangle ish, which means they don't care about a traditional point guard... nor should they with PG, Batum, Kawhi's skill sets.

PG should be a superior version of Pippen. Batum is basically Ron Harper lol.

I'll give this Batum shyt two weeks I don't know what mixtapes yal been watching or what talking heads yal been hypnotized by but that shyt is absurd

He can't shoot but he can rebound & pass...and is another 6'8 body that's not immobile

He's not a star but he should be ok as a bench player in a 9 or 10 man rotation

dude ain't even as good as fat diaw. the only reason those assists even happen in the few games he decides to show up for is because teammates shout the ball out of his hands. even when he was in shape and gave a fukk he was getting outplayed by anthony tolliver

this whole "he ain't washed, he can be decent" stuff is how bums like wes matthews stay in the league forever despite the fact they been trash for years

He looked like he belonged last night...even defended AD well

In this new age NBA, he still has a place as a bench player

Season just started and like half the Rockets are out for covid precautions. Why aren't they doing the bubble again?

 

[NatiboyB]

So the Lakers aren’t going to sign another big man like dedmon, Henson or someone who can maybe block a few shots and get some rebounds. Did Tyson Chandler officially retire?

Seems the Lakers are a big man short. Or they could get a guy like Hollis Jefferson just an active front court body and play markieff as that 3rd big. Because gasol is extremely slow with a high ball iq but with teams playing small ball they will eat on him.

I'm literally the furthest thing from a Harden stan, and I feel sick typing this: reading all the comments on this board and elsewhere, Harden is being ridiculously underrated, and folks are completely exaggerating the [negative] effect he'd have on a team.

I mean I think everyone knows having Harden is a 50 win lock on almost every team

@42 Monks gotta be sick to his stomach right now

can't shoot
can't pass
can't catch the ball
can't flow
can't grasp the concept of melody

when he held the surgical masks like a bunch of cash though

U bugging he walked on that

A bench big is definitely the final piece. Guards eyes are on the rim whenever Marc is on the court

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

I said this when they let Dwight and McGee go. Smh. Don’t understand the purpose of Gasol over either one of them.
