Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[who_better_than_me]

Just got finished watching the nuggets game. It's some freaky mind boggling shyt goin on up their in them mountains with Plumlee. Somebody in that front office is a huge stan or father-in-law of plumlee. I always thought that trade with Portland was confusing, giving up a better center and first round pick for plumlee. I thought it was just a bad trade but then I watch the nuggets play and I'm starting to think that whoever pulled the trigger on this deal must've had the perception that plumlee was more talented than he is. Somebody in the organization is overestimating that dude. Watch the nuggets play and you'll see they don't use that dude as a garbage energy man off the bench. No , they treat that nigguh like he's the second coming of Jokić off the bench. Why does he come into the game and be used like a mini Jokic with all those dribble hand offs and high post facilitating position. I seen this dude take multiple top of the key perimeter shots with over 10 seconds left in the clock. He has a longer leash than Faried. He average more than half the turnovers jokic commits in half the minutes. i don't get it at all

I didn't even bother.

Facing the Warriors after losing? Yeah blowout ready to happen.

BTW, The Pelicans are 11-8. Maybe the Boogie/AD combo CAN work out well

I was saying all offseason that it could work, to make it deep into the playoffs they need more help but the way the roster is currently constructed they're still really good. Dudes like Malta was putting Boogie in trade talks already but it makes no sense for the PELS to trade him. For now whatever happens, happens, and if Boogie leaves in the offseason then they will blow it up and trade AD after next season I would believe.

 

[Malta]

KAT is really, really bad on defense.

@DetroitEWarren you need to get KAT to roll with you around Detroit, he needs to toughen up, his defense is Amare levels bad

Hate to say it, but it looks like KAT is a PF. Cal tried to get him to be an all-around 5 that can do it on both ends but I don't think he has that defensive integrity you need on the other side of the ball. He'll probably need to play alongside a rim protector that does have pride in protecting the paint, and their assets are used up so they can't get the most obvious one (DeAndre)

Thibs built the team all fukked up, the lack of shooting, no thought put into maybe playing KAT at the 4. The Taj Gibson signing was the icing on the cake 2 yrs $28 million, meanwhile Dewayne Dedmon got 2 years $14 million and is now hitting threes That would have been a much better signing, he does everything Taj does but better for half the price while also being a good rim protector at the 5.

i like plumlee but dude got overrated off his time in brooklyn even made the us squad due to it

I feel bad for Marc, I get that he's loyal but damn, Conley always gets hurt and he probably can't even name most of his teammates.

You shouldn't feel bad for him , he is purposely not playing well.

 

[Flight]

When Damian Lillard is on, his game is beautiful to watch breh

Every move is so precise and tactile. Almost robot ninja like

But still poetry in motion

He had a stretch in the philly game where he shot them into a respectable deficit and you couldn’t even be mad at the defense. Just because he was shooting from damn near Steph range.

 

[bl2k8]

Bulls lost by 50 in a game where KD and Draymond didn’t even play

 

[CouldBeWorse]

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

It’s ok beating up a team like the bulls but can they start doing this against playoff teams

Playoffs teams can’t beat them in a 7 game series

 

[Flight]

Smart move there were a few drives in the Hornets and Bucks games where he had an open lane to dunk and just did layups. He was obviously not 100 percent.

KAT is really, really bad on defense.
