Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

I guess you can blame Melo and Derrick cause Porzingis can't back down George Hill

him attempting to backdown from the 3point line is stupid itself.
lebron bulldozer james wouldnt even back down from that far away. if he was 18 feet away when he started that....he'd ease into a 13-14 foot jumpshot

You remind me of a naive CantStop who defended Randle at will. Life is much greater when you take off the stanning glasses my friend.

you're still a naive cantstop...cause you compared julius randle to random proven all stars and just now player thats better than him right now

I wonder who you're going to blame when they trade Melo and don't resign Rose.

And Gorbert had 11 offensive rebounds, but KP is an elite defender

blame for what....you dont win games by yourself in the nba....even if you're lebron james
you need talent and a cohesive gameplan to be successful
right now they're awful with both of them nikkas on this team........so whats the point of having them there
they both are terrible defenders...in every sense of the word....cant guard their man or have awareness to help on the simplest play in basketball...pick and roll. both are bad playmakers and dont make other people better....which is more of an indictment on derrick rose. point guards that play 30 minutes a game are supposed to average more than 4 assists per game.
you nikkas got your agendas....
your agenda is to shyt on kp to prop up DLO...pathetic

 

[tremonthustler1]

@Malta and @ikbm be like " BUT DERRICK ROSE AND CARMELO DON'T PASS HIM THE BALL"

and he let Gobert drop 35 on him. GOBERT?!!! Everytime I see him play, it looks like he scores by accident

I'll just say anyone who thinks KP is a center in the making needs to give up that dream. If he winds up a center, it'll be after he's 30 years old. Leave him at the 4.

I watch damn near every knicks game and in case you forgot how assists works, players have to score. Rose passes all the time, not his fault players brick the shots.

Their glaring issues on defense aren't gonna magically fix themselves as soon as the playoffs start (lack of communication, lack of defensive BBIQ and too many average defenders). They're fortunate they're in the East which will allow them more time to work shyt out, because they'd be food in the other conference - far too many high-powered offenses.

A lot of media guys like Zach Lowe are referencing the 2001 Lakers as precedent for a team who struggled defensively and flipped the light switch during the playoffs. Even as a Laker fan my basketball eyes were far too young at the time to notice what exactly clicked defensively for them.......and if that's even a reasonable comparison to the defensive struggles the Cavs are going through now.

he cant guard stretch 4s. this aint the mid 2000s anymore. a 7 foot 3 man cannot be expected to close out on these 4s....not when the game is progressing the way it is..... he needs a rick carlisle to hide his ass.
nuances and the physicality is what he struggles at....at the 5.
former he can learn with time...latter he needs to somehow gain wirey strength .
gobert isnt that much larger than kristaps. especially when he first came in the league. gobert has better positioning and knows how to use his body better

 

[#1 pick]

There is some truth in this but Evans is 6'5 without a position and Giannis is 6'11 with a much larger wingspan. Finding a 6'11 dude who plays like Evans is extremely hard.
