Random NBA Observations 2014 - 2015

[He Who Posts Well]

Has Detroit won a game since the trade for Reggie Jackson? Detroit was becoming a feel good story until the trade. I really hope Stan doesn't sign him long term just to save face. Hopefully they can flip him in the offseason for better pieces to start fresh next year.

I don't think they have...they're on a 10 game losing streak right now...

they'll be fine there. They're invested in Exum.

As long as guys like Hood emerge as bench options, they just need backup bigs and maybe Hezonja.

If they luck out and get a top 3 pick, hand them an annual division title.

even if they get a top pick they're still gonna be mediocre as hell. Do you just sit around and make this shyt up?

I think maybe 1 game. Its a damn shame, I actually enjoyed their season turn around once they got rid of Josh Smith and the team was ballin ..

burke is

exum cant bring the ball up without turning his back to the defense, he is

It's rare for 1st year/2nd year point guards to be fully poised and developed. Burke is still discovering what type of player he is in the NBA, and if he had another year before Exum came then he probably wouldn't have been reduced to a bench role. Exum was clearly underdeveloped going into the draft and made a mistake by not playing against collegiate competition, but like Burke, give him 3 or 4 years and he'll figure out what works and what doesn't work.

It's been proven time after time after time that point guards almost NEVER come into the league pro ready, it takes longer for them to fine tune their game to play against professional competition.

Nah

They have the best defensive anchor prospect that weve seen in quite a while

Gobert gonna win a bunch of dpoy

A center like that gives you so many different options of lineups to use

Do you just sit around and not watch games?

Since the All-Star break they've been competing (and beating) with every team in the league. And these dudes only in their early 20s.

Knight got it figured out last year, due to being placed in a better environment with coaching and etc, that's why i was when he was traded, i knew he would come around.

nah knight had it second year in the D....he just wasn't taking 16-18 shots a game....if he was he would have avg kyrie numbers.

The only one I was iffy bout was MCW cuz he is still michael turnover williams
