Random NBA Observations 2023 - 2024

[inndaskKy]

How’s Russ playing this season? I haven’t watched enough clippers game this year.

He's good off the bench when the team is doing bad and needs his energy. And he often brings the team down with bad hands around the rim and poor decision making when they're doing good, lol. But he's been pretty solid on defense all season. The key is to keep his minutes limited.

Doc Rivers-coached Bucks only score 13 points in the 4th quarter to the Jazz’s 40 points for the Bucks to lose by 15?

Spoiler

went from Dame time to Doc time

I've been surprised when watching Bucks games how the Dame/Giannis pick n roll hasn't been as effective as I thought it would be. Teams have easily been able to shut that down

Preseason ratings of them being the best duo in the NBA were obviously premature but now are downright embarrassing I don’t even know if they’re top 5

Dame's been super inconsistent offensively with the Bucks, averages like 1 good game a week. He has been consistently bad on defense though.

But somehow he’s an all-star starter. I don’t see how.

They'll eat against the Suns in a few days.The Suns have a knack for letting struggling teams restore their confidence against them.

In theory it should work but Dame isn’t really a pass first pg & Giannis doesn’t roll as much as he should

Fan vote

Yeah I got no issue with that, the starters are for the fans - mostly kids. Let them see who they wanna see.

Fan vote

I know they got 50% of the vote. But that other 50% was split between players and the media. He had to have gotten a decent amount of votes there too.

I honestly just felt he was a borderline all-star based on performance. Could’ve given Trae his spot and I wouldn’t have batted an eye.

Trae got more fan vote than Dame but not from players & media

Maxey & Brunson didn’t get enough of the fan vote

WTF would the Bucks do that? Everytime I've watched them this year it seemed like Portis was balling out there.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

I feel like Jimmy Butler is going to get traded.
