OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD- February 2021

he found Jones and RoCo and neither is a great shooter. He also found Bazemore, Hezonja, and Tolliver last season

this is all academic anyhow. What will turn Portland's season, if it happens, is Dame going into superstar mode again, not RoCo shooting 36% from three

 

He drafted Dame, CJ, Trent, and Simons, 4 of the best three point shooters in the NBA right now. Also- RoCo shooting 36% from three can allow Dame to go into this "superstar" mode you talk about. But he's always in superstar mode. 4.8 made threes per game. 29 ppg 7-8 apg, 5th seed in West despite injuries to 2nd and 3rd best players.

 

LOL...did you have rose-colored cornea transplants?

by the way, Portland players rank 22nd (injured), 29th, 60th, and 75th in three point percentage. That's fairly good, but it's not "best"

 

Yeah, it isn't a coincidence but there were a lot of incidents that led to us dropping a ton of games last season... I don't know if losing Seth was in the top ten. The guy is a decent role player but no better than a fifth man on any playoff team.

As far as Dallas is concerned this season. Porzingis, Richardson, Kleber, Finney-Smith, Kleber, Powell and I think Boban have all missed more than 1/3 of the team's games with injury and/or illness. That's like every big on the team outside of Cauley-Stein. Just look at how many starting lineups they've rolled out.

I just don't think it's a Seth thing but I guess that's a nice thought because Seth really is usually underrated.

Dame & CJ are literally the best in the NBA in 3 pointers made per game. So yes. The best.

 

Wow 3 straight OT games for the Lakers. Tonight I don't think 'Bron took a shot in OT, had a couple dimes and a key steal to seal the game though. Not bad for a 45 year old!

 

check out ron artest 2.0 playing defense in OT last night. keep an eye out for this guy:

 

It's official. Westbrook worst volume three point shooter in history: Justin Kubatko: Russell Westbrook made his 1,000 career 3-pointer last night. He has the worst career 3P% among the 119 players to reach that mark: 30.5 – Westbrook 31.3 – Allen Iverson 31.7 – Gary Payton 32.0 – Vernon Maxwell 32.0 –

 

He is who we thought he was!

 

if Russell Westrbrook was shooting 30.5% on three's, and attempted 16 a game, he'd be averaging 4.9 three's/game which by your logic would make him the best three point shooter in the league

in other words, your logic is kind of loopy

 

Taking that horrible 3 point shooting % right through the front door of the Basketball Hall of Fame. While Kiki Vandewedge, Jim Paxson and hundreds, maybe thousands of amazing shooters sob themselves to sleep wishing they were there with him. Oh well.

 

Russ, come to the Portland Trail Blazers. The franchise that will help you preserve your legacy and let you chuck all the shots you want.

 

Absolutely agreed. After he is let go, we will be happy to sign him to the vet min and bring him off the bench.

Pritchard proving many wrong.
