The Nets' fourth option is the best catch and shoot three guy in the league apparently (???) Hardly seems fair???

Anthony "Big Whistle" Davis again redefined the matchup today by pouring in 34 points with ONLY 21 free throw attempts. Ayton once again received 0, despite visibly being fouled at the rim several times. Unfortunately, that's what happens when you don't fall to the ground and writhe like a Spanish soccer player every time you get contact.

Yossarian-22 posted:for some reason ayton has never attempted more than 2 free throws per game in a season over his three year career whereas davis averages 6-8 routinely. i guess he's unusually bad at "drawing contact" or something? needs to take acting lessons like the rest of the league He doesn't seem to do the "yank your head back and scream AUGHHH" thing at all. As stupid as it is I think it probably costs him a lot of points.

Everyone wanted to see Wizards vs Nets for the matchup between the 6'11" guy who shoots 55% on midrange jumpers and the guy who would come off the bench if he played for that same Nets team, because they used to be teammates. Let's be honest, it would have been the most disappointing series in years.

Jokic is fun because he's a giant flailing jelly man who moves at about 8 mph and then he chucks up the ball at the stupidest angle and it always goes in. Good "novelty value."

If the Grizzlies had some players who could shoot they would probably be "good".

Yossarian-22 posted:with jamal murray/cp3 getting injured and the clippers stinking it the gently caress up i honestly think the jazz are probably the only team with a real shot of beating the lakers in the west. the east is way more interesting this year with the bucks/76ers/nets all in it AD is going to draw a whistle every time he gets denied by Gobert, which will be happening a lot. It's going to suck. Utah is still so much better on the perimeter that they might just shoot their way through it anyway. Clips could also still beat the Mavs, I doubt the Mavs can keep hitting 50% of their threes, which is how they've been able to open up their leads. The Clips have more talent and Kawhi is playing well. Anything could happen there, the Mavs haven't been the image of consistency in the past.

indigi posted:I know this is veering into great man theory but I don’t think LeBron James needs ref help to go super sayian and win a series at any time. he’ll get ref help obviously but I don’t think it’ll be more than his usual amount He doesn't get as many calls as he used to anyway because he's adjusted to become more of a shooter/passer than a rim attacker. Probably pretty necessary at age 37. He'll get a whistle every time he does attack the rim and finds any contact whatsoever, though.

Watching Lakers Suns while working out and it appears that AD is given free throws every 80 or so seconds regardless of what's going on in the game. Meanwhile the entire Lakers defense body slams Ayton ever time he attacks the rim and he apparently still has zero (0) free throws this entire series.

Chris Paul being crippled pretty much dooms this Suns team, he's worse than a backup player at this point and they're still playing him. He may as well have one hand ties behind his back.

indigi posted:yes his shoulder is completely hosed, he should just get the operation now as even if he sat for a week and they somehow won the series he'd be in the same exact position. it's one of those injuries where unless you get it surgically repaired it's waaaaaaaaaay more likely to reoccur, and even with the operation it's iffy I'm no CP fan but this poo poo really sucks from a neutral watching the matchup point or view. All the cool underdog teams keep getting hurt!!!

Fortaleza posted:Missed the game but apparently the blazers lost. I’m assuming they got jobbed by the refs as that’s the only explanation that fits both the facts and my emotions, which are equally real. Austin Rivers looked unstoppable when I tuned in for the fourth quarter so it was probably pretty funny overall.

Yossarian-22 posted:the kings have gone longer than any major league sports team not making the playoffs aside from the seattle mariners, and in seattle's defense they play in a sport where only 4/15 teams in their league make it rather than the 8/15 teams in an nba conference. the kings are absolutely the most cursed franchise in sports and we honestly should have just let seattle take them Keep the faith. They have roughly as much talent as some of the other low seeds so they'll probably eventually stumble into a 7 or 8 seed season and the accompanying humiliating sweep.

euphronius posted:Who would you say the top 5 point guards are ? I don't know enough about pre-2000s ball to make a legit all-time list, but I do know that wb isn't even a top 5 PG in the league today. There is an enormous amount of talent at the position and if you're not a shooter you pretty much have to be a Ben Simmons-tier defender to make up for it. A few years back during the Bestbrook years he might have been there. I think he's just such an entertaining player that people talk themselves into thinking he can compete at the top level, when realistically he's a 4th option on offense and an average-to-slightly above average defender who plays with a ton of energy.

Curry/Conley/Kyrie/Murray/Lillard/Simmons/CP3/Holiday/Morant/Fox/Young/Lavine/Doncic/LaMelo/healthy Kemba are all better I dunno about LaMelo but yeah, pretty much all of the playoff teams have better PGs other than the Lakers, who refuse to hire anyone who can shoot even though half the league wants to play there and the AD+Bron+overpaid center lineup they run absolutely demands to be surrounded by shooting talent.
