Random NBA Observations 2024 - 2025

[CantStop]

sochan's shot was off as soon as it left his hand

 

[NotAHotep]

That Sochan was a fukking scud missile.

 

[pete clemenza]

Wemby had one on one after that screen then picked up his dribble and passed it

 

[duncanthetall]

Wemby been on some flopping shyt lately. But goddamn he still a bucket when necessary. Wolves had a solid strategy of being absolutely as physical as possible when he gets the ball. He don’t like that shyt.

Great game by DDV. Ant got some shyt to figure out

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

Wemby is really something else. Juat stay healthy, kid. Just an amazing player with incredible abilities and skill. I think he brings the dog out of a lot of people in the league too. He's very competitive and nobody wants to get shown up by him so leads to some good basketball

 

[ECA]

Big Ragu is byke

 

[In The Zone '98]

Big Ragu is byke

Getting pulled for Conley in crunch time this season has been some weirdo shyt by coach

 

[Skooby]

Deandre Ayton with a great defensive play to trap Klay Thompson and get the steal in the corner.

Mavs lose despite Kyrie scoring 46

Blazers have 11 wins thought they were worse @Serious @Skooby

Fools gold breh.

 

[FAH1223]

Fools gold breh.

Who you want in the draft?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Come get your team and its garbage ass offense @who_better_than_me.

 

[Regular_P]

Rockets ain’t never gon win shyt. Weird ass team

They won't win with that garbage ass backcourt. 12-37 between them tonight and that's close to the norm for them.

The backcourt isn't the root of their problems, it's their offensive structure, in general.


There's no rhyme or reason to their system.

They don't try to capitalize on mismatches, they don't move the ball (30th in passes per game), they don't move without the ball, they don't screen for one another with any purpose, they don't cut/dive to the rim (6.9 percentile) and they don't look to create for one another (29th in assists and 30th in shot generation).

They merely rely on talent and aggression to generate buckets.

Someone like JG has a high-level scoring skillset, but because there's minimal actions for him to get into rhythm and work to his spots, his shortcomings end up being exacerbated, turning him into more of a chucker than he already is. He's not strong enough to bully any type of defender, so off-ball actions should be a priority to free him up, but he's treated like he's extracurricular to the offense.

[King Harlem]

It sounds like he's been warned multiple times. Gotta escalate the punishment.

Jalen Green is not that guy. He's had one hot month his entire career. What's he's doing this season is who he is. FVV has shot below 40% in three of the past five seasons. What's he's doing this season is who he is.

Their whole roster is filled with sub-par offensive talent besides Sengun, who is not elite. They don't have any above-average shot creators. Nobody on their team is a great shooter. Brooks of all people has the highest 3pt FG% right now.

Jabari Smith, Dillon Brooks, Amen Thompson, Cam Whitmore, Tari Eason; these are limited offensive players with nobody to set them up unless they create turnovers.
