Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

It’s clear Kawhi is trying to get these other guys confidence before the playoffs, hopefully it pays off.

Kennard needs some minutes somewhere. I don’t get how he and Mann are just completely buried on the bench

Zion's been in a straitjacket down the stretch; Draymond took him right out of the contest. A shame Steph couldn't come through at the other end.

JTA played Zion well too on multiple trips down the floor.

And Steph ran out of gas...what we really needed was someone else to score...

Steph tired as shyt. I could actually tell down the stretch last night. He can't keep this up. They'd be better off missing the play-in.

If it means them potentially moving up in the lottery and getting him some help, then they should totally consider it.

Hayes is such an underwhelming player

Suffers from the same lack of swagger and lack of creativity off the bounce that all french point guards have except Tony steal your girl.....and that's because he was a demon.

Luke Walton will b there next year

 

[FakeNews]

Among the potential coaching candidates for the Trail Blazers, sources say: Lakers assistant Jason Kidd, Hawks interim coach Nate McMillan, 76ers assistant Dave Joerger, Clippers assistant Chauncey Billups and Spurs vice president of basketball operations Brent Barry.

Sources say Blazers chairwoman Jody Allen, who took over for her brother, Paul, when he passed away in October 2018, has become increasingly focused on the Blazers’ future this season. What’s more, the absence of fans inside the Moda Center for so much of the season meant Stotts was being closely monitored by ownership inside a fishbowl environment that didn’t help his cause.

If the Blazers ultimately make a move on the Stotts front, sources say they’d be likely to go for a big name, high-dollar coach to replace him. Remember, this is the same ownership group that has the Seattle Seahawks and their dynamic leader, Pete Carroll. The thinking, potentially, is that it’s time for Lillard’s Blazers to have someone of that ilk to take them to the next level.

Luke Walton will b there next year

From the article:

Kings not only owe him a combined $11.5 million after this season but also, according to sources with knowledge of the deal, are unable to stretch those payments out over several years if they fired him.

While coaching contracts often include this kind of stretch provision, the sources said Walton’s deal that was signed in mid-April 2019 does not. Considering the context here, with the Kings known to have lost approximately $100 million as a result of the pandemic, this will certainly play into the decision-making process. If fired, he would have to be paid in accordance with the original timing of the deal.

:smugluke:

Luke ain't going nowhur.....

Kidd, Billups & Joerger Among Potential Stotts Replacements

Heat is officially on

it's pretty interesting with KD & Kyrie playing good/great games, Giannis was able to match their impact on the floor

Zion has shot 50% or under only 6 times in his career, 3 of those times were against Draymond .


Draymond has been the only nikka to be able to force Zion into difficult shots (Nas Reid had a great defensive game vs him too).

But you fukk nikkas wanna disrespect the importance of what Draymond does. He was able to slow down an unstoppable force 2 games in a row.

They play again next week, sit yo bytch ass down and watch Draymond do what he does. If you can still hate, eat a dikk afterwards
