Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

I have no problem with Simmons on ball as he got the defense to bend. He just has to make his move a lot quicker. The Sixers moved the ball around and got Simmons a wide open look after he create the initial openings. But since he can't shoot the D just sank off him causing Sixers to reset. I think they just need to leverage Simmons iso as a way to get Joel a post touch and Simmons to make his move much faster. Either way this is definitely attributed to growing pains and learning how to close as a team.

Nah, he honestly can't be on the ball in that situation, his reluctance to shoot just kills things. It's hard to get Joel iso's when Simmons is the passer because his man immediately doubles off him when he passes it to JoJo. They honestly need Fultz to get right, drafting him was for moments like this.

are Celtics fans really looking at the situation like this?
The C’s got rid of their most important core pieces: (IT, crowder, Bradley) as well as their biggest bargaining chip for a Point guard that at BEST has the same net impact and a dude who broke his foot 5 minutes into the season
All of this and they didn’t at all address their real issues which lie in the frontcourt. Without Bradley, crowder and Isaiah this team has 0 identity

Don't worry bro

They drafted Jayson Tatum

This Cavs/Nets game looks like a glorified 3 point contest with the same level of defense that the racks provide.

shyt's entertaining as hell though lol. I have no idea how the Nets are keeping up and beating some of these teams looking at their roster. They're on some Spurs shyt right now.

I'm starting to think Carroll should not touch the ball late in the game at all. Has either fukked up or bogged down the offense every time.

I swear to God, NOBODY ON THE HORNETS EVER TRIES TO PASS MONK THE BALL , Kemba playing like a real selfish bytch nikka right now smh. They are winning so it doesn't matter, but I swear on my life Kemba is refusing to get Monk the ball. He has had a great game too, has the best 1 dribble pull up for a rookie I have EVER seen .

shyt been going on since pre season, Monk could be wide the fukk open and nobody even looks his way , I see why dude has a quick trigger when he touches the ball, Monk has been their best player tonight but they refuse to let my nikka cook (Monk has been GREAT defensively too, he has a good understanding for team defense and he is easily above average as far as staying in front of his matchup).


GOAT draft class brehs, , 13 rooks right now averaging double figure scoring . Monk scores effortlessly, fukk JEREMY LAMB BUM ASS, the NBA is positionless and a small back court wouldn't hurt them too bad, Monk needs to start.

I feel your pain, breh.

Used to go through the same shyt with Eric Bledsoe & Devin Booker.

I swear Bledsoe ruined about four 50 point games for Book.

Yeah you're not going to get it to Embiid directly from Simmons. That's why I was saying a play with Simmons driving to try and bend the defense and then use that to get the ball to Embiid. In this game everytime they got to swinging the ball Embiid was nowhere near the post. If they get the same actions they were getting tonight and have Embiid stationed weak side I think they'd be in a great position.
