Random NBA Observations 2014 - 2015

Sadly you right , last time I remember Boston having a scoring 1 was Dana Barros

I love Isiah tho, he's my guy I really gotta stop hating on him and just enjoy him getting shine

Probably. Had Chauncey Billups, but traded him halfway through his rookie year for a Kenny Anderson

He's benefiting from the Klay Thompson beige effect, dude will not be anything but a spot up shooter in the league. His game is extremely limited....

Meh. I disagree that his game is "limited". He drives the ball and has a nice midrange pull up

my favorite player of all time..2nd is kemp. his shot was BUTTERS. had the all-time record for most consecutive games with a 3 for a while i believe. made the all-star game as a sixer and dropped a dope rap track too...when he came out of retirement and played one game in the season for the celts and then in the playoffs i was so hype. i even copped a dana barros summer camp jersey for like a dollar off ebay years back

Korver broke his three point record last year

his statline that game

21-26 shooting 5/7 from 3 50/6/8

They have even less to gain from winning right now



The saving grace would be Brooklyn continuing to suck next year.




Hustling backwards, and making the playoffs would mean you'd get the 15th pick.......Draftexpress has Devin Booker there

It's not like we couldn't make a trade to move up to 8-12 if we really wanted somebody

@VMR Since we're mentioning former Celtics turned musicians

if you didn't enjoy watching Randy Foye go full sabo mode and the Warriors responding by folding like a cheap lawn chair, I would highly suggest skipping the first round of the playoffs.

This would be funny if the Nuggets didn't get taken down to the last few seconds by a B team

He's literally benefiting from the fact he looks kind of like Klay, but when Klay was a soph he was putting up 20/5/2 (13/5 as a fresh). He's not a great defender, can't get to the rim, is a good but not great shooter and is currently in a slump, there's like 6 wings in this draft I'd take before him and I don't think I'd waste a first rounder on him. If he's there in the 2nd round sure, but he's not on the same level as McLemore or Stauskas and look at how much they struggled in their first years.

When we're winning nikkas don't say shyt in this thread about us. When we lose they become chatty Patty's. nikka just checked the box score hoping we lost and didn't even see that 3 of the starters didn't play along with Iggy.

Don't forget Speights

ENES KANTER TO THE MAX!!!


Russ with his 8th Trip Dub of the season. Kanter and Mitch finish EVERYTHING!

Klay wasn't playing with with the amount of talent Booker is playing with right now, obviously their numbers are going to be completely different. Booker only plays 20mpg as well, and he's only a freshman. He's actually a very solid defender, that's what surprised me most about his game, because I didn't expect him to be very good on defense, he doesn't have a huge wingspan though unfortunately. I just think he's not a very bad pick at 15, there is a reason draftexpress has him that high.

I don't see it at all, not a great athlete, doesn't have great length, can't create his own shot and doesn't have a great handle. Almost every scouting report I read on him mentions Klay's name, I mean that's a huge reason why he's going to be a first rounder. Also, Booker playing with better talent isn't a negative, he wouldn't be getting those same looks on less talented squads.

I'd be more willing to take Tyler Ulis than him because there's more little guys like him that are successful than there are guys like Booker.

amazing.
i've never heard anyone ever say their favorite player is dana barros. if you've even heard of him, most heads would say "oh ya, i remember that guy". and at best it'd be like "oh ya, he was nice that one year...on that garbage team"
