Paul Zuvella posted:Giannis is not actually playing point guard. The two most common lineups the Bucks use feature Dellevadova and Snell, two guards. Sure, he is filling the traditional point guard role on offense, but positions do not matter on offense. What matters is who you can guard. Giannis is guarding wings and occasionally bigs. Hah, so when Giannis is playing point guard on offense he is not a point guard because the opponent who is guarding him is usually a small forward, because when that other play is on offense they are being guarded by Giannis, who is a small forward, except they are being guarded by Giannis, who is the point guard so they are point guards which means Giannis is a point guard positionless basketball is crazy

I've never seen a guy who when standing still looks more like a basketball player, who looks like he wants to be anything but a basketball player when playing basketball. I just saw him take the ball up the court and brick an open layup by heaving the ball over the backboard. It was breathtakingliny bad - my dad asked if it was the guy's first basketball game.

If you get a chance to watch him in the d league it's wild. he is the most athletically dominating player out there but he's loving around jacking up Buddy Hield shots, and blocking layups while falling backwards out of bounds. He looks like he doesn't know what a basketball is and doesn't want to know but he's still long enough and athletic enough to be the best player without giving a poo poo.

Yeah he's also had some really nice defensive plays against Grand Rapids. Man, just as a nice bench 3 and D guy, if he can bring it together......

Okafor needs to get traded while he has any semblence of prospect sheen still on him. I know he's only a second year player, but I just don't see it. He's a blackhole on both ends of the court and he's soft as baby poo poo. The only reason he has any trade value and is seeing any playing time is his former top prospect pedigree.

One of the little things about this D-league I'm noticing is that the quality of passing is much lower than what you see in the NBA. Nothing is crisp, it always hits a player away from their body, and it seems like the timing is just off. Jordan Crawford is single handidly wrecking the 905

He was Willie the Wildcat at Northwestern and married a Luvabull. Ran on the field when Hank Aaron hit 715. This article was also great about another reporters encounter with Sager. The man got the most out of his time on this planet. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...des-in-beijing/

http://basketball.realgm.com/analysis/244305/Under-The-Radar-2017-NBA-Free-Agents THREE Spurs? Stop this. Stop this. This is a bad dream. Manu's going to have to retire to have a chance at re-signing some of these dudes and he's my all-time favorite Spur that I want to just be the crafty old bench guy for another ten years. Timmy gone is something that I'd been gradually trained to handle year by year so it wasn't much of an impact, but I can't say goodbye to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwCJrS67NsA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYxwaPcWNcM Please dissuade your teams from poaching Spurs. The Warriors are a very good team I hear, why not strip them of everyone they know and love.

Cool Buff Man posted:Hopefully you get more than that, but at this point you're praying on an injury desperation move (Rockets with Capela) right? They want to get rid of him ASAP and he's clearly not going to get much playing time to boost up his value. It's such a weird situation. Morey is definitely not the guy who's going to trade to replace a 6-week injury in the hopes of scratching out a couple regular season wins. The Rockets did want Bogut so they might go that route if Dallas is ready to cut bait on him anyway. In the end, Morey will probably acquire some second round picks or a tweener that can kinda shoot 3s and the Rockets will just keep doing their thing Intruder posted:Nene can't go for enough minutes for the rotation to be him and Montrezl I think Montrezl at center would be kind of a disaster anyway. He's very good at fun athletic plays but as far as pick and roll offense and defense I don't think he can do a fifth of what Capela or Nene can, and D'Antoni will probably prefer to go with Anderson and just bomb away. e: Actually it looks like the Rockets are "probing" for a center https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/811225558096945152 chunkles fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Dec 20, 2016 |
