Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[42 Monks]

Monk is gonna need to learn PG, even as a combo guard. I ain't mad. And I liked Mitchell for the Hornets too but Monk fell to us so whatever. He'd playing the backup 2 if Lamb wasn't shining.

But he can struggle in practice versus on the court. Its a long season. He'll be aite.

Cody is probably one of the most underrated Cs in the league tho he better retire a Hornet

You think Lowry and Harden would be 18-4 right now atop the West?

Of course.

Like I mentioned earlier -

Ever since Lowry's picked up his workload on offense (after taken a backseat over the first handful of games; allowing the rest of the team to get theirs with this new offensive approach the Raptors have seemingly taken), dude has been amazing on both ends of the floor. One of the very few players in the league who has impact in just about everything he does, virtually no empty plays and is tasked with dead-end possessions on offense/defense regularly. Which is even more amazing considering that he's been one of the best 3-pt shooters this season too - 41% on 7.3 attempts.

+ over the last month, Lowry has shot 46% on 8.3 three-point attempts per game. Lowry would actually be a better fit than CP3 in that Rockets offense, (especially next to Harden) - better and more aggressive shooter/scorer, more comfortable off-the-ball, and a better/more versatile defender.

clutch 3 by lebron to close out that game, but he switched his pivot foot immediately after he caught the ball. caught it on one foot with his right foot clearly inside the 3 pt line then took a step with the left foot so it could land beyond the 3 pt line then switched his pivot foot to get both behind the 3 pt line.

To add on -

I'm not arguing about who's had the better career. I'm talking about the state of their respective play right now (and the last couple of seasons). Lowry's been on the same level as CP3 over last couple of years - I'd even argue that he's been better when he's been healthy. Lowry averaged 22.4 ppg on 62 TS% last season, arguably a better scoring-season than CP3 has ever had.

Scoring maybe but as an offensive player no. Pace, flow, distribution and other factors play into that for me. CP3 has been very good in most of the playoff games he’s played in.

Waste of a #1 pick

They should’ve taken Tatum

 

[VegetasHairline]

Two 40/20 games for DeMarcus Cousins this season. There were only two 40-20 games in the entire league last season, and no one has had two in a season since Patrick Ewing in 1989-90.

His scoring was the main reason why the Raptors were within reaching distance:

He scored 12 points in the first half (his last bucket cut it down to an 11-point margin)
He then dropped 18 points in the 3rd quarter - 12 points which came in the last 1.35 to cut it down to a 12-point game

He was the main reason why the Raptors were still within reach at the end of the 3rd quarter. DeRozan was the only other Raptor who scored in double-digits - I repeat DeRozan was the only other Raptor who scored in double-digits in that game. Lowry ended up scoring more points than both Kyrie and LeBron.

Like I said, you don't know what the fukk you're talking about.

You can pull that box score up all you want but I watched and remember that game vividly. That took Lebron out at the end of that quarter. They went on a little run but knew what would happen in the forth. That 12 was more like 20 because the starters would be in the entire forth if need be. Game 1 And 2 and 5 all games that it he played well they may have had a different series he wasn’t good and he put up a lot of points when a game wasn’t really in doubt. It makes people that didn’t watch the game or going off pure box score make it look good when it really wasn’t impressive. CP3 went toe to toe with legends and came out on top, all I’ve seen Lowry do in the playoffs is squeak past teams that weren’t better than them and then when they play a great team he either is unavailable or not good.

What has Monk passing looked like. I haven’t been able to see him in games seems like when I flash in he’s never playing.
