"NBA Games 3.1 - 3.7.20 : Gordon Hayward is trash" Sun Mar-01-20 03:21 PM by allStah
I don’t care if he goes on to average 40 a game. He does nothing in big Big games or in the second half of any game, but take up space. He missed bunny after bunny against the lakers and was invisible in yesterday’s game
Smart. Tatum, Brown are elite ass defenders doing everything while Kemba is out. The fact that the Celtics are this good with this dude starting tells you just how good the other 4 are.
They should have flipped his ass during the trade DL, but he is Steven’s guy....can you imagine this team with just even a simple SF like Ariza, Morris ( either twin), etc. Shit I would even take Rudy Gay or Harrison Barnes over this dude.

Shake Milton got game. No way he stays in Philly and sits behind Simmons. He is an all scorer, good defense too.
Would it be crazy to think of trading Simmons to get some serious assets back and make shake the full time PG? And with Burks off the bench as the back up? Get a SG and a star PF?

Doris Burke talking about Lebron could still be in the mvp conversation because of his game against the weak pelicans. But yesterday he got destroyed by Memphis by 20.
And Giannis went 40/20/5 with no Middleton today and is dominating every night against all teams. She is always trying to talk him up .... when everyone knows Giannis is walking away with this hands down.
Bucks are walking through all teams! With a point differential that is record breaking. The shit they are doing and what Giannis is doing is hands down murder.
This dude is mvp and defensive player of the year, and the bucks are killer... but since Giannis is foreign and not in a major market ...
I swear if they rob this kid.. I will never watch the nba again.

No he does not. Lakers have been up and down and so has lebron. Struggling against the pelicans and getting whooped by Memphis. Bucks have those teams destroyed by halftime. Dude they beat okc by 47 points.
- 30 plus points a game is less mins than any player in nba history - highest per in nba history - best defensive player in the league - best defensive team in the league - top 3 3 point shooting team - Highest team scoring differential in nba history - on pace to win 70 games.
No lebron is not in the conversation ...not even close
This is possible the greatest team/player stat in history based on player and team setting Records’s

Cool. I have no problem with that.
Is just Doris, man. And abc’s whole crew in general. Give me TNT’s crew. They know what time it is....except for Hubie . Dude said it was no contest, Giannis all the way.

You don’t read too well.
You took that out of context. The point is that the teams that the lakers and everyone is struggling against, the Bucks are blowing them out the water. Giannis work is usually done by the 3rd quarter ,so to beat Okc the best clutch team in the nba and one of the best teams to close out games by 50 fucking points is a biggg ass deal...with no Middleton.
But clearly you didn’t understand that.
And had the lakers beaten Okc by 50 you and everyone else would be posting about it. So stop the bulllshit.

against that same Pelicans team in a loss for the Cavs, dude dropped 31 (11/20 from the field, 6/10 from 3, averaging over 20 on the season). the only two better at him at scoring from that draft class are the top 2 talents (Luka and Trae).
I think KPJ is the star in waiting, but I can't ignore what this dude is doing. that dude is an easy 20 on any given night.
Someone did the math for me:
59 games in to their second years as a pro, two guards wearing No. 2

He is surprising the hell out of me. Maybe Drummond stays
Porter / Sexton/ Drummond? Shittt
Garland is still trash right now though.
Move Love and wack ass Thompson ASAP. See if golden state is interested in giving up some of those picks for a big.because they need one....and love is a huge asset because he can three and rebound.

Don’t give up Easy points in the paint and can rebound. They just can’t shoot. And they get blocks and steals. They will lose . But they play hard. Their perimeter defense sucks especially on screens
Not easy for Westbrook to get in the paint to tonight.

I hate Miami and that zone bullshit. That’s how the raptors won a chip. Play some real fucking defense, but of course they are going to be like we stopped the Greek.
If I’m the commish, this has to be changed. If you got someone like Bradley Beal dropping 50, and you gotta play zone to stop him...come on man . That’s not pro ball.
Hopefully Giannis is working with the coach on how to deal with that in PO. You know they are going to throw that on him on every trip.
I don’t want see our top stars facing that shit.. Portland did that against Tatum on some possessions.
Dallas played zone against Lebron to win a chip....and they got clowned for it, but now it’s acceptable.

Defense is stellar. No Lavine, dunnn or Mark.
When Valentine plays, he plays well, but Boylan refuses to give him time. This lineup is getting it done, and Coby has been outstanding even though the league refuses to notice it.

Bucks faced 22 teams more than once this season. The heat isnthe only team to beat the bucks more than once. I could make an excuse on it being a back to back. But even though they use this wall routine( zone ..lol) , it worked, and bucks got the L.
Can’t front , Middleton disappeared.
On first take on espn, now the heat are seen as a huge threat, and the east is now wide open. They were just dogging the heat last week , because they were on a huge losing streak since getting Iggy. lol.

Boston can’t stay healthy for shit. Tatum is out, and now trash ass Hayward is out and brown appears to have hurt his hamstring. Kemba just came back today. Smart has been injured a few times this year as well.
Caris ”just cooling” Levert. Straight out the gate this dude was a monster slept on due to injuries. Once Durant gets back, these dudes are going to be monsters sans Kyrie. Pacers were stupid for trading this dude

Clippers eating these cats. Reggie Jackson really makes that backcourt more dynamic on that second unit with Lew than Shamet.
Fucking blowout by halftime.
That small ball shit. They don’t hit threes they are screwed. And clippers perimeter defense is one of the best. But Mike dantoni is so damn dumb he ain’t going to attack the paint. Most of their points have been in the paint, but nope jack up threes.
64. "If it was a huge pick up, it wouldnt be a 10 day contract." In response to Reply # 63
It's a low risk, high reward situation and personally I wanted Noah over Dwight (which turns out wouldnt have been as good). If it works out - it's great. But I wouldn't be so sure he's able to play. He was getting some minutes in Memphis this year and good for him getting on a contender but I dunno about this one.
65. "RE: If it was a huge pick up, it wouldnt be a 10 day contract." In response to Reply # 64
Lol. That Lakers complex is showing. It’s a huge pick up because they addressed an actual need. Jackson and Morris were just luxuries. They still killed the lakers twice with harkless and Shamet.
But Noah was a former defensive player of the year as a center, plus he is a passing big. Zubok and Harrell don’t offer that. Westbrook killed them In the paint last night and Houston was able to score in the paint in general, but Mike d is allergic to his teams taking 2s.
But getting a guy who knows defense and protecting paint , plus high IQ, for cheap is huge pickup...and if it doesn’t work it doesn’t work.
Dude he is now a lethal three point shooter... with the players he is playing with do you now how easy it is going to be for him to get dimes, and now that he can shoot?
70. "Biggest knock on him is health" In response to Reply # 66
Now that he’s got the confidence it’s great to see. Lakers fans fucking LOVE Lonzo and I love seeing him do well. Dunno about this 20/10/7 prediction - that’s pretty rare company and his shot is weird - but he’s very good
75. "Each team won one. " In response to Reply # 0
Not a fan of that third quarter officiating. The difference in points were definitely at the line. However bucks being one of the best three point shooting teams shot like shit, but was still there.
But shit let them guard straight up especially when you got two superstars guarding each other.
Bucks just make sure to get homecourt advantage and close out the season. You already know what the media wants.
81. "RE: You scared" In response to Reply # 79 Sat Mar-07-20 11:31 AM by allStah
What am I scared of? And I’m here no matter if Bucks win or lose.
Unlike you and lakers fans. You guys were ghost when the Bucks beat the lakers, but show up when they win. That’s being scared and and wack.
Bucks beat the lakers in the first game and lakers won this one. As long as the bucks have home court advantage, their chances are great. But if Middleton does not show up, one man can’t do it alone, which is the difference between Lebron and Giannis.
Giannis guarded both Lebron and Davis when they had had the ball and the main guy on offense. Lebron and Davis both took turns guarding Giannis. Huge difference.
But no one is scared. I will be here, win or lose.
78. "lebron is a much better dribbler in traffic." In response to Reply # 0
dude was always good at using one move, getting his shoulders squared, then going downhill to the cup when he had space on the perimeter (remember isoball bron?)
now dude is navigating that mid range area and lane in traffic and getting to the cup smoothly.
he been putting together some cold ass finishes at the rim that way.
it seems like a pretty noticeable improvement from years past.
96. "I don't see how he's not the most individually accomplished player ever" In response to Reply # 92
Kellerman refers to this as "career value" - but no player has ever done more with less. I don't think it's plausible that Jordan, Kareem, Wilt or Magic could've dragged that first '07 Cavs team to the Finals - or even the '18 Cavs team that went to the Finals, sans Kyrie.
But for him to be *this* dominant in year 17, legitimately vying for MVP as either the #1 or #2 guy in the league is absurd. It's also the way he's doing it: leading the league in assists and showcasing an exceptionally high IQ and court vision in how he gets his guys involved.
Last night dude took the challenge to guard Giannis - and he actually got the best of him on *both* ends of the floor - and Giannis was gunning for him and playing his heart out.
that's the craziest shit about LeBron. still doing good things, sometimes doing -new- good things. even as other things decline as they do. this year feels a lot like his 2018 season where, chaotic as it was, LeBron put the best offensive performance he's put up since the 2012 Heat season.
RANGZ won't be his story, it'll be the more difficult one to tell... more like Kareem. who has the RANGZ but the other story about him is his longevity.
though I struggle to consider LeBron "a Laker" despite wearing the uniform (I consider him Cavs/Heat more than that), he is following in some footsteps set by prior Lakers. Kareem, Magic, Kobe.
but I've never seen an NBA player live up to this level of hype as I have LeBron and for it to keep paying off in the way it does is crazy.
102. "yea your observation of his improved handle is apt" In response to Reply # 100
He's been maneuvering through traffic and switching directions on a dime more effectively than in past years. He's clearly been adding that to his game and put a lot of focus on this new PG role. He's also developed into one of the most deadly long-range 3 point shooters in the game. Wild.
99. "Bucks (103) vs Lakers (113)..." In response to Reply # 0
..The intensity for this game was high from the tip and it never waned.
The Lakers started off sluggish, with Davis, McGee, & Howard in early foul trouble. Both teams struggled from the perimeter throughout the game, but unlike the previous matchup, the Lakers made the necessary adjustments and found success in the paint, with LeBron leading the charge.
With the season series now split, we'll have to wait for a possible finals match-up for the tie-breaker.
