Random NBA Observations 2022 - 2023

[Doctor Doom]

I've got no reason to be salty, it was the same thing while he was here. Pacers are winning games, of which I've watched all of them and most of last season.

He assist hunts and doesn't involve himself in the play otherwise. He'll stand in the corner waiting for the ball back if someone doesn't immediately make the basket off of his pass.

His goal when he got traded was to put up 10 assists a game. When I watch him - which has been every game - I see him make some bonehead plays for the sake of an assist. So he is selfish in a way of stat hunting. Rondo used to get the same criticism, Westbrook too, shamelessly hunting for the assist instead of letting the offense flow.

There were about 3 or 4 instances last night where he had an open lane and passed the ball to a teammate fully covered with help, in favor of a basket that didn't translate. And that's not even concerning the turnovers from stat hunting.

If you judge by the box score he looks amazing, when you see him play you'll understand what I mean.

Stop accusing everyone of box score watching to further your own argument. When I see him play, I see someone that is actively getting people involved and making sure everyone eats. Trying to compare him to Westbrook is disingenuous of you considering Westbrook almost doubled the amount of shots he took compared to all of his teammates.

Rese playing within the offense while still looking for his own offense. Does he try to force a pass sometimes? Yeah, but dude barely 22 and being asked to be the primary ball handler while also being a main scorer

Let the youngin breathe, be happy Sacramento is actually playing meaningful basketball for the first time in 19 years~

You acting like he is ball-stopping and dribbling the air out of the ball

My point of contention wasn't that he was dribbling the air out of the ball, I said he plays selfishly. Which he does. Westbrook and Rondo had the same type of tendencies early in their careers, only devolved to what they're hated for the longer it was allowed.

If you feel differently from what is clear on the court, not much else I can say to convince you.

who is this Harrison Wind dude? He on twitter crying worse than KAT was that WHOLE game



You don’t want to get the whistle, then get better position and stop fouling the big man

I know Harden, Maxey and Embiid are out but I’m so tempted to go to this nets game and act an ass with these 6ers fans booing Ben Simmons from the moment he steps foot in the arena

Need him to have a good game. Malik Monk is good too, could be a conflict with minutes later on

How?

 

[eXodus]

I shoulda pulled the trigger and planned to leave out around 4:45

My girl said she was down if I had mentioned it like an hour sooner. The tickets I was eyeing gone now and traffics saying 1hr 45 mins

 

[Collateral]

How?

They’re both streaky players to begin with, Huerter is hot rn I expect him to cool down. When Monk is hot I noticed Mike Brown going with him down the stretch that may eat into Huerter’s minutes later on

Huerter actually leads the team in minutes played at a little over 34 a game while Monk is playing an average of 20 a game. I don't think it'll be an issue. Just wanted to hear your thoughts.

Tell me more about the advanced stats and not what you've actually watched



I'm sure you'll be in here arguing for arguing sake though.

Out of all the things you could accuse me of, are you seriously going to say I don't watch games?



There's a special irony to you believing I'm the one arguing for argument's sake, when you threw out a statement with the disclaimer of "I know nobody is going to agree with me" as if that wasn't just trying to start an argument all because you're salty about a former player. You've been throwing shots at Haliburton for a while now trying to get folks to bite.
