Random Other NBA Teams Discussion

tiers:

clippers/philly (i don't want to talk about these being possible)
boston (uuugggghhh)

phx (they're annoying, and sarver sucks)


nets (now that harden's gone, they don't bother me at all, really)
everyone else

 

couldn't care less about the nets winning with harden gone. i don't hate KD or kyrie

suns are annoying as hell but i'd much rather see them win a title over harden/philly. that guy does not deserve a ring at all for how he's helped destroy the game

clippers winning a title would suck only because we'd never hear the end of "clippers run LA now!"

but absolutely nothing would be worse than the C Bags winning a title. thank you again GS for keeping that from happening

 

Watcha guys got against phi/ nets ??

 

philly because harden

i don't have a problem with the nets since harden left but there's plenty of KD/kyrie haters out there who don't want to see them win

 

wait what? this is what i'm talking about. how could you have thought this?

 

LMAO …. the FAT bad takes buffoon. Do it Chuck! Just cover it up with some gravy and pretend it’s mashed potatoes.

 

and doc and morey and embiid and the process.

they can't succeed. they need to be a cautionary tale.

 

yeah... bragging about titles from before guillotine was outlawed is sad.

 

Losers leaving loser Gahden!!!

 

LOL at “before guillotine was outlawed” smack

 

Also actually true. Look it up

 

Tatum and Brown need to learn to control the pace of the game and the value of possessions at key moments .

Your got to move can't be a side step 3 after dribbling the hell out of the ball when you need a bucket especially with their size/build.

It always been my problem with "point" wings ( same with Lebron ) in the modern NBA .

Why the f*** are you starting/operating so far from the basket when it matters

 

the issue is that neither is a great ballhandler or passer. both have improved on this, but i'm dubious that they become good enough at it that you feel comfortable with them initiating against top defenses. problem is to remedy that, you have to exchange smart for a better offensive pg--who is almost certain to harm their defensive philosophy.

doncic is a point-wing, and he does just fine. because he's an excellent ballhandler and passer. using brown (especially) and tatum (less of a problem) would be like when minny was trying to use wiggins this way. he just lacked the skillset.

as far as operating away from the basket, my guess is to use the threat of three and also to get a chance to generate some downhill speed, so that they can really use their athleticism.

anyway, i think tatum said it best, something like: "we're not out here trying to turn the ball over." exactly. that was their best, and gs's defense made them pay in ways that lesser defenses couldn't (and won't).
