Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

not before.. he was having a bad time that season...

but when he was healthy... he was the human bullet

I mean when he started the season after his MVP, I saw a lot of improvement. He shot was getting better and as a PG he was more patient and confident. It seemed like he was learning to play in different speeds and was becoming a better half court player. He was still far away from prime but he had said the year before he viewed himself as the best player, but after winning the MVP, I think he started to really believe it....in a good way.

he a decent player but....

crazy how both the Hawks and Celtics got better.. although very early. their is so much more sync to their games..

Celtics don't look better than last year yet. shyt, Horford is basically out there doing his best Kelly Olynk impression. He was supposed to add another dimension to their offense - dude just fell in love with the 3pt line and is dragging feet whenever it comes to protecting the rim.

From a pure entertainment/highlight angle, how is Wade not one of the GOAT's?

Crossovers, layups, blocks, dunks, eurosteps, windmill steps, spin steps, passes, oops thrown, etc.

From a pure basketball standpoint, only MJ and Kobe can compete with Wade AS FAR AS HIGHLIGHTS.

Maybe basketball but not all sports

Rubio glass ass is pathetic
Dunn gets thrown in the fire early

To be fair, if both the Bulls and Knicks overcome the nigh insurmountable amount of IFs to actually stay healthy, be 50 win teams (or thereabout) and avoid the Cleveland side of the bracket... then just the very idea of a Bulls vs Knicks playoff series will be the most hyped non-Lebron involved series in years.

Between DWade, DRose, Carmelo, Butler, Noah, Rondo, Chicago, New York...that's just fukkery overload with the subplots and matchups. The servers would be status

4 and 5 matchup

Horford look good with Boston. What are you talking about?

Atlanta doing well, we still need to figure it out with the starting five. The bench is fire and been so all Pre season as well.

Offense has not been the problem for the Celtics at all. It's hella early but the team is ranked 4th in ORTG, it's the defense that has been awful

Yeah, it's just sad how bytch made that nikka's become. Dude could've been somebody a contender could've built a dynasty around. But he opted for fukkery and became allergic to playing in the post.

Dwight actually was good tonight. That Philly game was a sham. His FT shooting is bad nonetheless.

Yeah, I was more so commenting on his stunted post-game. If things go well with him, Atlanta can become a problem child in the East.
