Random NBA Observations 2015 - 2016

[SCORCH]

Booker is legit.

 

[#1 pick]

Nothing garbage about that observation at all.

#1 in drives per game
#1 in points on drives per game (a WHOLE point more than everybody else in the top 5 : Derozan - 8.9, Lillard - 7.8, Harden - 7.6, Jackson - 7.6, Westbrook - 7.5)
51% shooting on drives - highest percentage per point in the entire league
#12 in assists per game on drives in the league (even more than Harden, Wall, Jackson, Parker, Lillard, Irving etc etc)

He has a genuine case for being the best driver this season. For you to say he's "literally not even top 10" makes me SMH.

To me, he's better than Harden. He's all around, he can score, defend and dive. His shooting has become more respectable as well. He's not a true #1 but with Lowry, he's a monster.

 

[#1 pick]

It's futile, but this Hornets team would've had a realistic chance of making the Finals if MKG was healthy (that's not to say they still don't have an outside chance as it stands). Their offense has gone to another level this month, and the O/D balance they have throughout their starting lineup and bench is probably the best in the East.

I keep telling people, the Hornets might be the best team in the East if MKG was healthy. This is low key one of the best teams I've seen this year. I still like our chances without MKG v. them but their development, change in style and Marvin development has put them in the drivers seat. What fans don't realize is, once Kamansky adjust to the NBA, this team might low key be the next GS. They don't have a true PG but Kemba is a legit #1 option on offense. Dude is unstoppable right now and is closing in on Lillard in terms of scoring.

Oh, on the Hawks, Teague is low key playing elite PG right now. I don't know too many PG's playing as good as him right now other than the obvious Curry, Lillard and Westbrook's.

Still can't get over how well DeRozan has been playing this season. Dude can stake his claim as the best driver in the league.

He is not a crossover dribble guy but his dribble drive skills have evolved

 

[#1 pick]

Clipps messed up trading Born Ready ​

The Grizzlies made out like bandits on that trade. He's really only good on these inside out type of teams

 

[Hypris]

Even then, he's shytty.The only time he's an asset is when he's incredibly hot, but you can say that about any ol joe blow.

His decision making/passing is terrible.He doesn't know how to take advantage of the defense focusing on him.If they send 2 guys at him, same shyt......3 guys, same shyt....4 guys.....1 guy....same shyt.Never knows when to slow down and make the extra pass

No feel for the game and he's a chemistry/flow killer.He's Jamal Crawford.His ability to get buckets can be awesome when he's hot, but that's all he has to offer.He literally sucks in every other facet of the game.

Rarely looks for his backcourt mate.Booker had 11 assist because he had to be the decision maker out there tonight.I thought the Suns should've put more effort into trying to get Booker going on offense.Sorta how the Warriors kept going to Klay when he was in a bit of a funk early on.

But that's how it's going to be when you're sharing the backcourt with Brandon Knight.The only dude he attempts to pass to is Tyson Chandler... and 70% of the time, it's a "last resort" forced pass that results in a TO.

Brandon's just a jinx.The Suns always lose when he goes off.It's bitter sweet when his J is on.A bad omen.A sign that the Suns are going to lose.Great indivdual stats for himself, but you can say goodbye to any harmony/chemistry your team may have established.Would probably make for a great 6th man

Teletovic is the same way.He's another black hole on offense.He annoys the fukk out of me because he's another flow/chemistry killer.Never met a shot he didn't like.

If Knight can accept a 6th man role, the Suns backcourt rotation will be set for the foreseeable future. He'll thrive in that role. If he has an issue with that and wants to start (like Isaiah Thomas) he can be moved before next years deadline.

Agreed, that's what he is, an exceptional 6th man. Like a suped up version of Thomas in Phoenix in that role

He must go to the bench.He's the type of guy who'd stunt Devin Booker's growth.

Brandon actually seems like a good dude, but his style of play makes him a selfish muthafukka.It's either the step back 20 footer/ 3 pointer, a drive with his head down, or a sloppy forced pass to one of the inisde guys(Chandler, Len) that results in a TO.He never looks for the other guard.

Archie Goodwin is the same way.I don't know if it's a competition thing, but it's "fukk you" to the other guards when those dudes are in the game.They don't know how play balanced basketball.Look at Steph & Klay....Mccollum & Lillard....Lowry & Derozan etc..etc..Those dudes know how to share the wealth.You don't see that with Brandon and whoever's sharing the backcourt with him.


Every now & then, he'll go for the "token" assist by running the pick & roll with one of the big guys, but the execution's always clumsy as fukk.He's literally allergic to passing.Had 6 TO's last night.I wish the Suns will hurry up and make him the 6th man or trade him.

Booker is legit.

his production bodes well for guys like allen and murray in this next draft, especially allen who plays similar to him, but with less handle/length albeit a bit more aggression/athleticism.

The book is out on him being an undersized SG who has tunnel vision. Most teams would love him in the role the Suns need to put him in. As would the Suns but they need Bledsoe back as well.

 

[Houston911]

how bad did the suns f*ck up trading the lakers pick so they could get brandon knight?

 

[Walt]

Heliflopter Harden aka Slimbo Slice in March so far:

Didn't rose play for Memphis?

Didn't you see me say Coach Cal PG's..........

You can say the same for Nik Stakusus....how that turn out
