Random NBA Observations 2021 - 2022

It's illustrating a point.

The fact you took it as literal words makes me believe you're walking back your initial statement.

You said Buddy was "garbage", and insinuated that Kuzma is more to the contrary, or that he's far beyond that where he can't be categorized as such. Nobody is saying you can't choose Kuzma and/or KCP over Buddy, but to make out there's this chasm between their abilities because of their respective team records is disingenuous. What makes Buddy's more efficient numbers on a worse team deceiving, and not Kuzma's less efficient numbers on a better team?

Kuzma was the joke of this board last season (and for good reason because his play was a circus act), and yet now he's suddenly transformed into this winning player after 10 games, despite him being the same exact player.

Make it make sense.

My original point was never to prop up or disparage any of those players, but more so to the issue of the Lakers have no assets to improve the team around them beceause of the Westbrook trade. The only asset they have outside of Bron and AD is THT.

1st ballot HOF?

I agree with you but the Lakers have manifested players out of nothing before and they can do it again, so I have no idea.

They almost got Buddy Hield out of KCP and Kuzma who are both literally garbage so I don't put it past them at all.

Have you seen them this season?

Funny how everyone next to Lebron is deemed “garbage” when their only job is to shoot corner 3s with the shot clock going down, but become adequate or even good players once they have freedom.

1st ballot HOF?

James Harden would more than likely have him beat if he didn't start his career in OKC on the bench.

Of course he wouldn’t miss his annual sonning of us

The writing was on the wall during preseason:





It's funny how Lakers fans were saying bu-bu-but it's just the preseason when they were losing, yet now they realize those games were actually a lot more reflective of reality than they care to admit.

The NBA preseason doesn't lie

Why can't it be true?

Oh it is

The differential is ridiculous.

400 minutes is a large enough sample size to get a general outlook on how the Mavs have performing, and Brunson is literally keeping the Mavs afloat, by himself, well, he and the lineups which he leads. The Mavs' record probably gives a false reading of how they're situated given that their starting lineup is drowning in the deficit.

And this still won't stop the media from giving Doncic MVP votes

Ben Simmons should be embarrassed and ashamed. The only way to get better at shooting is to actually shoot the damn ball!

Zo for putting in the work to become a better shooter!
