Random NBA Observations 2025 - 2026

[Osmar]

MIP should go to Deni Avdija or Jalen Johnson, but Keyonte George should get some consideration

I love Cedric Maxwell

The issue is teams keep making Kd the #1 option. I thought a stronger coach like ime could break this but his offensive system sucks. Kd is just gradually bullying the confidence out of goon and amen by complaining when he doesn’t get the ball to ISO or post for 16 seconds. Kd being able to blend in with any team is a myth.

Kd being your best scorer does not mean he needs to be your first option/main decision maker.

Facts the only reason why "KD blended so well with the Warriors" was because Curry created so much gravity, it allowed him the space he needed to run more ISO plays

Um, did you sleep through the Giannis trade speculation & LeBron Corp pushing the he's the G.O.A.T. narrative?

Yeah nobody cared about that. Barely made headlines

the issue is the offensive system and that’s k I’m also a big issue noone talks about is KD doesn’t help out the offense when he doesn’t have the ball. He doesn’t have that gravity off ball. And he doesn’t do shy off ball!! He don’t cut or move anywhere . He jsut stands in one place and wait and see. Combine that with the mandatory’s two non perimeter threats Ime to keep on the floor for defensive purposes and our offense is even easier to guard than last year. And we’re slower and don’t get out in transition anymore.


Kd is a generational player but he’s not harden or lebron on the offense. He can’t run the offense like those two. This dude has a lot of weak or lazy passes that get easily turned over. He doesn’t make it easy to get him the ball either. The amount of turnovers we have trying to pass him the ball is aggravating.


When we played warriors i often used to think kd made it easier to defend the warriors. He slowed down their ball movement and also when you put the ball in his hands and he tried to anything but be a bucket, it was a good defensive possesion. Ime and stone overestimated his point forward and facilitating skills. He can be pressured into some ball decisions and turnovers more easier than folks realized.

LeFreight-train still talking to the refs about his last layup

This Hornets v Clippers game has been intense…

Crazy ass game… giving me that old school feeling back

 

[Primetime]

its about the time of the year when a lot of teams start having growing pains. but even then, second round for houston is better than last year

they'll have plenty of trades available going into next season too

Not to mention it’s not like Giannis and Luka are out here leading shyt either

Ironically Luka got the same team record as KD and just got dog-walked/his beam lit (pause) by the same King’s team that beat us

And i know we not gonna make injury or roster excuses for him but omit our situation. He a decade younger than Kevin and this is his MVP/revenge season i thought

Ultimately SAS, DEN, BOS are all capable of stacking wins without Wemby, Jokic, and Tatum… so this early 2000s-2010s concept of one guy (AI, Dwight, Bron, etc) carrying a flawed team against flawed competition… that ain’t reality in this era. There is a sweet spot of roster construction and implemented system, outside of the main guy.

That said, we weren’t winning no championship with Jalen, Dillion, and Cam so the KD deal made sense; especially since we still kept Sengun and Amen, which are the two pieces that would have to become superstars anyway for last years team to have ever amounted to shyt. If Amen ain’t that guy, if Sengun is just a glorified #2, if Bari is just a broke boy corner man, if Ime ain’t steering nothing but pawgs then these are all issues that’ll have to be addressed this summer or down the road soon.

That said… we’re 1 loss back from being the 3rd seed
