Around the NBA 2022 Playoffs: The Thread

If Green is so smart, why did he let himself get suspended in 2016?

 

Because he's also a bit of an idiot? We were talking BBIQ which I would differentiate from temperment or overall IQ, but of course he runs hot which can be both good and bad. IMO the positives his personality brings to the rest of the seemingly mild mannered Warriors overall is a big positive.

There are few other players I would rather have had running next to Dame over their careers. Good grief he has had some games/series vs Portland too. It's not because of his athleticism or size...

He has a valid point here. Green plays smart when playing the actual game. He does not act smart while in the game. This is the difference maker for me.
I do understand I'm in the minority here and he already has a ring so it's not like he has not been part of a great team. I just keep think Rasheed Wallace type stupidity and it makes me cringe.

 

3 rings actually and in his 6th finals... plus multiple AS appearances & All NBA D teams, Defensive player of the year = a Hall of Fame career

not my favorite guy of all time, but dude is an awesome BB player

Green is a player you dream about having on your team. Smartest defender I’ve ever seen and can switch onto 1-5 on the court and a great screener and playmaker.

His antics on the court bug the FUCK out of me though. It’s a large reason why I want Boston to win.

Also because of the Portland ties in Boston and Steph Curry’s mannerisms bug me.

 

We need a ton, but if anyone wants to see the impact of Jalen Duren, watch Robert Williams, who is built similarly to Duren and has the same basic game

 

Took Williams four years to get to this level....

 

Speaking of comps in the finals..... How do we feel about Sharpe and Brown

 

If Ime gets in that lockerroom and tells his team that they have the lead but they shouldn't because they've been so careless on offense and can get them to start playing with discipline on that end, they'll end this game up 3-1. I think they're the better team but just need to play within themselves on offense.

 

And?

 

He's not even 100% in the finals. It'd probably take a couple years for Duren to be as good as Williams on a gimpy leg.

 

And Boston would say well worth the wait.

 

And was drafted 27th

 

This guy Steph Curry is pretty good. Blazers need to look for a guy like that.

 

Draymond exposed… he can’t battle the big boys lol

 

Trash

 

So in that timeout Kerr just said “give the ball to Curry and clear out”
