Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

They need to trade every role player for defenders

Their closing lineup (when everyone is healthy) is just as problematic tbh

Kyrie, Harden, Harris, Green, KD... great offense but the first 3 names are defensive liabilities

usually you should only have 1 defensive liability in your closing/“championship” lineup. Hard to hide 3 guys

PG is an elite defender who as a 3rd option would be the best 3rd option in the league.

Who like Harden sucks balls in the playoffs

Yeah I would not have Harris or Green in that lineup, you need a legit defensive big and a defensive 2. They have enough offense on that team. And they have been linked to Love and Redikk when they need defense

Who like Harden sucks balls in the playoffs

Right as the main option. But with champion KD they fall into their natural roles as the #2 and #3 option on offense.

exactly. I feel at the very least Harris is the odd man out. They have a luxury/premium spot up shooter when what they need is a blue collar 3/D hustle player.

Even with that, they’d still be screwed vs teams like DEN LAL PHI... even UTA and LAC have greater bigs... so honestly yea Green has to go too

They gotta hope these nonsensical Drummond buyout rumors have legitimacy

 

[T.he I.nformant]

That Ball-Bridges connect be major

 

[Fortunate Lee]

Nets gotta get creative at the deadline. No way a bum like TLC should be closing a game out for you

Breh don’t even deserve a nickname yet

Look at this defensive sequence Matisse is unreal breh

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Tell em, Dame.

Too bad the Raptors are too good to actually Tank. Toronto with a Top 5 pick and with some Cap Room for Lowry gone/whatever they can get for him, would have them back in the mix of things out East


Masai will make it work cause his eye for hidden talent might be unmatched , but you need a franchise cornerstone or you’re just gonna be Pacers status

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Look at this defensive sequence Matisse is unreal breh

The way he defends space is incredible and its not athleticism, it's strategy and anticipation. I've said it before, but if I were still a young guy playing ball I'd be studying his vids constantly and trying to add shyt to my game straight from his game tape.

So MPJ comes back from his “Covid” and now back to coming off the bench after starting the Season being a Starter?

 

[Guile]

Tell em, Dame.

Just say Chuck and Shaq.

Man coaches gotta quit being stubborn and start these Young Points. I know Lamelo will eventually but we’re in a new Era. If these guys are outperforming the guy ahead of them and clearly better, throw em in the fire.

Devonte Graham and Elfrid Payton are career back up Point Guards I guess being stop gaps works but , I mean Both those teams are only gonna be end up fighting for a Playoff spot. You got nothing to lose.
