Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

agree. and capela wasn't too bad. i'm waiting for the other shoe to drop because he can't possibly be this good (great hands, handle, can finish with both hands around the basket, mid-range and 3's). last season has to be a fluke right?

are those fans I see in the stands?

Wood might be the best pick and roll big that harden has ever played with

Definitely the most skilled. Howard could’ve been the best but he was stubborn and wanted his post ups instead.

sadly Nene was the best he had thus far before Woods. Detroit fukked up. He wasn’t even expensive to sign. I wonder why they didn’t try to keep him . Him and Grant and Blake could’ve been nice

 

[chkmeout]

why would we need Wood when we drafted Toppin and have a logjam with Randle plus have Mitchell and Noel as centers

nikka brolic this year...he might be fixing to do something

Hell no

It’s ironic Houston got to see San Antonio Twice before the season starts. As I sat there and watched the spurs, it really reinforced the stance and the belief in the rockets not taking just any package for Hardens. The spurs haven’t been the same since Kawhi. They handled that trade situation so badly and show no signed of recovery anytime soon. They got older and worst with no sign of draft compensation. They’re essentially the poster boy for what not do when your stats player wants to force his way out.

we cant go out sad like the riverwalks...

first time since harden been on the rockets we got a competent big(s). capela soft with no hands. howard a nickelodeon loving ass nikka with barely any hands. none of the previous bigs have or can create their own perimeter shot with confidence.

harden my nikka redeem yourself with this squad bruh

Lonzo only has vision when his teammates gets open. he doesn't initiate plays or move defense.

I should have said better play making

This is absolutely not true

 

[Guile]

yoooooooooooooo....lamelo is actually nice..........

Lol, I can understand not listening to the brehs on the coli about Lamelo but the scouting experts have almost unanimously declared him to have the most potential in this draft for the past year. Ya'll think they was joking?

 

[Conscious Pilot]

clippers desperately need a real play maker

fukk it give Terance Mann the keys. He’s shown some promise and gives it his all. I’d start him and if shyt’s looking shaky look to trade for a starting PG during the season.

Wood might be the best pick and roll big that harden has ever played with

Cant believe Pelicans waived him, David Griffin must hate spacing

 

[CarltonJunior]

You still not giving Lonzo his due. His vision is up there with anybody. Yea i agree his passiveness limits his game. But let's not kid ourselves...you couldnt name 5 better playmakers in the league today better.

I never knew Lamelo could be this talented as a playmaker/passer tho

I'll do you one better, I'll name 10.

CP3
Wall
LeBron
Trae
Morant (slept on as a passer really)
LaMelo
Lillard
Simmons
Doncic
Harden (this could be the only one up for debate.)

That's not even including honorable mentions like Rubio and Westbrook.

Lonzo passes well on the break and is a good tempo setter but he is not a top playmaker primarily because he does not get enough penetration and beat his man enough. LaMelo is a better playmaker already because he's been practically getting to the hole at will.

 

[Brozay]

Lamelo looks like what I thought Lonzo would be in the league honestly. And he’s 2-3 inches taller.

@42 Monks you taking the L yet after a few preseason games?

Breh what

LaMelo ain't even played a game yet

And Lillard that my nikka...but he ain't ever been anything but Average as a passer. Harden is a great passer not Lillard..

And what has Ja shown u to say he's a better passer than Lonzo?

You nikkas wildin

 

[CarltonJunior]

I think while Charlotte will be the funner team to watch, I favor Atlanta to make the playoffs over them. They are a really deep team, even if they get injured they won't have much drop off. Really solid team top to bottom, the question is going to be whether or not they will be able to defend well enough, and that's on their coach to make it work.

They'll show you with their play, all are better playmakers than Lozno. It's all about being able to beat your man and take advantage of the defense, which Lonzo doesn't do consistently enough yet, if at all.

 

[thaKEAF]

Wow I’ll admit I’ve never seen much from Woods but he looked impressive especially with Harden.

I had said before that I thought he was one of the best free agent target out there. Two way player and he can actually do all those things.

Infact he under priced himself. I think he wanted to secure the bag. Remember this is the same guy who had a heartbreaking video of himself out there crying after he went undrafted.
