Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

Russ is incredible when he's locked in like that

MVP

 

[Sghost597]

Both are selfish stat players. They don't make anyone around them better.

Team will continue to suck.

NO ain't going nowhere with them.

Pels about to lose three straight since acquiring Boogie

shyt coach that doesn't know how to use his players. Started the season 0-8 and 0-7 season last year. Gentry has no business being a head coach. Should stick to being a coordinator.

These two things are related. There's no spacing for him to destroy inside which is what he'd be best at. He has to go through people to score.

He has to shoot jumpers over people because no one else can do shyt on the perimeter with Dipo out and Payne gone. He's trying to make whatever work because he can't just keep passing and hoping everyone else around him can manage to score.

This is 06-07 Kobe.

Damn near 30 shots for AD, can someone else get a shot. Feels like I'm watching lamelo ball

What does this have to do with what I said? What do you want Westbrook to do?

Shoot less so Abrines can shoot more? Turn the ball over less, which means handling and distributing less, and letting who run the offense, Roberson? People want to make it black and white: Russ needs to shoot less dumb shots, Russ needs to turn the ball over less, Russ needs to etc. It's not that simple. People will bring up last year with Durant saying he was doing the same shyt when he was shooting 5 less shots a game, shooting 45.5% which is pretty damn good, one less turnover per game(and Durant's were high too) and shot less 3's overall too.

It's not the same this year as it was last year. He has to do everything because atm, the only player that helps take even some of this pressure off of him as far as ball handling and creating on his own from perimeter is out(Oladipo) and the other one was traded(Payne).

I wasn't disagreeing with you at all. I'm just saying if Russ was a better shooter himself it would be less of a problem.

There is even less space because defenders can cheat screens with him.

I hear you but there's three things at work here- Is it the coaching? Or is it the lack of quality wings? Or is Boogie just a stat padder like alot of people claimed he is? It can go either way or be a combination of these three

You aint winning shyt named the goddamn Pelicans

Its that Kentucky center syndrome AD, Boogie and Towns all suffer from.

 

[MoneyTron]

If OKC can't hit 50 wins by the end of the season, Harden gonna win MVP. That's unfortunate because Russ is producing on a level we haven't seen in 40+ years.

Sure it would be easier, but that's just not his game. The team needs to do a better job of getting him people that can help spread the floor and make it easier for him.

What Westbrook needs to do is work on his defense so the team can start these space spreaders without having to worry about another defensive liability out there.

Who else on the team do you want to shoot?

Their defense is trash and they get nothing offensively outside of Cousins/AD

Who else on the team do you want to shoot?

You don't have to shoot every time you catch the ball. Diversity your skill sets my nikka, maybe find a cutter or two.
