Random NBA Observations 2024 - 2025

This is looking suspect by Utah. They can’t get out of their own way. at this point I hope Toronto win the sweepstakes. This is the second time I seen Utah getting in their own way.

 

[GunRanger]

Possibly

It’s easy to say this vs bad teams. Time will tell tho

Whats the alternative? Reddish sucks, Gabr sucks, christie sucks. Theyre already playing Lebron at PG, might as well start their best shooter with them, and let dlo be the bench offense

 

[Adebisi_Said]

I'm loving it
Every game closer to Flagg or bailey

Keep up the great work

Need quickly and Barnes to keep missing games

I doubt they will let the Great AMERICAN White Hope go to Toronto.

Tatum in the clutch is not as bad as other players you rather give the ball to, A lot of “Clutch” players ain’t really that clutch.

 

[Raquinotj]

Are you that intent on pushing your dumbass agenda that you can't use your brain and see that it was the best shot possible, given how the play unfolded?

As the homie said above, the play was clearly designed for Jaylen, but once he was knocked to the ground, Tatum had to freelance. He couldn't drive left because Mitchell was right there closing off the lane, and it would've been pointless for him to go right when there's minimal space to work in.

It was a great decision by him to square up Agbaji (given the dwindling shotclock) and even better execution. It was an incredible shot.

That salty Celtics fan watching games mad that Jayson Tatum doing shyt only Larry Bird has ever done.

Someone got in Tatum’s ear about his playmaking abilities and he been on his bag.

I feel like I've seen 10 Raptors games being really close at the end this season & since he got back I feel like I've seen RJ make sure they've lost them all trying to do too much

 

[Nero Christ]

Did he trip on his own, or did the contact from Giannis cause him to lose balance?

Nah he fell down...that contact was minimal at best

You’re looking strictly from an offensive view. Against good teams he’s getting played off the floor imo

It’s like nobody has learned their lesson. This team is avg. Started the season off good…people started shytting on Ham to hype JJ.

Lost several games & suddenly remembered it’s the same team from last season. Last 5 games have played really bad teams & did what they should, win. DK shortcomings will be back on display once they play good to great teams again.

I will say tho the team can usually stick around no matter the deficit because of Bron. His presence gives other players the confidence they can compete. Now winning is another topic & again it’s because the team is mid.

I would actually start DLO over DK still tho. Reason being DLO is a better shot creator & will perform better starting vs off the bench. DK has shot well but he’s not moving the needle as a starter against good teams. Russell still has the ability to heat up. Both are ass defensively tho

None of those guys are significantly better defensively than Knecht versus how bad they are on offense. The only real solution would be trying Vandy when he's healthy but the spacing would be worse.

lmao it's crazy how normalized hating Jayson Tatum is now. It's really something

24/11/9 and a game winner and still receiving hate, he needs to hire better PR people. I can help him out

 

[Doctor Doom]

We got dudes defending Nick Richards in 2024-2025

Yall better tighten up

I brag on this thread because nikkas usually talk with some sense compared to the braindead threads

Dont fukk it up

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Don’t have any way to confirm but I think the play was drawn up for JB. White & Horford set screens to free him up but once he came off the Raptors defender knocked him down and blew it up, that’s when Tatum goes to the iso

Even still.. Tatum had plenty time to break his man down for an easier shot. Instead he took a contested shot from Curry range. His bbiq is low.
