What to do at SF (post-TPE)

I thought Brooklyn just wanted all of Portland’s players?

 

You tell me I'm wrong, when I'm just going off statistical evidence, and you're going off of...?

 

dude...I'm not arguing this point...I follow the games...I never check statistics to form my opinion of what I see players do but hey....you're welcome to disagree and use your method of observation....I still say Chief is in the paint more than Mo....agree to disagree...I think stats can be misleading...just like shooting percentages..Chief is on the court more than Mo as well

 

Maybe you are both right but just talking semantics?

For example, I do believe Harkless posts up more on offense, than Aminu does.

However I also believe it to be true that Aminu is guarding the 4 alot more, which puts him in the paint alot more on Defense.

Overall, Aminu may spend a little bit more time in the paint. But Harkless posts up more.

 

Obviously Aminu would guard more post ups, he plays the 4 lol.

 

My original post on this topic was Chief rebounds more and balls get swiped more when you're bangin' for rebounds...pt being that's where Chief's turnovers more than likely happen...having the ball in his hands in the painted area...somehow this became about offense and defense...my point was possesions and lost possesions.

 

I might have steered that in the wrong direction. Who the hell let me behind the wheel three drinks in???

 

Its based on possessions the player is on the court. I dont see hpw that stat could be misleading to the point where it says Moe posts up 11x more but hey, believe what you want.

 

Is it about offensive post ups or not? That's where it started.

 

That was not my idea.I said "bangin' in the post" not posting up his man...if it entered and I missed it, my bad...I was talking about Chief's turnovers and time in the post....not post ups on offense...I was talking about possessions...rebounds and how it's easy to get turnovers when he's in the paint...then I mentioned that ET is the guy who steps out of bounds or dribbles off his foot....it was in reference to his unusual style of ball handling which I attributed to soccer playing.....somehow this all got derailed...I started the conversation when someone said Chief should never dribble....how it got to this, I'm not sure bones...so be it. And on topic...it didn't start with you at all....I had quite a few posts about it before you replied to mine

 

Neil would only notice if she is a SG in a PG's body and is off a scrap heap somewhere.

 

I just don't see the difference between banging in the post and turning over the ball compa4ed to posting up.. oh well.

 

It was me who said I didn’t like when he dribbled and didn’t want him too. I admitted he was much better this year. It’s wasn’t just turnovers, he seemed in my opinion to get out of control and make bad plays too, but like I said he has gotten better. Though he still scares me when he gets that urge to make things happen. I wasn’t trying to argue, I’ve said numerous times I like chiefs game.

 

Aminu is everything that's wrong with the team, simbolizes our weakness in the forward spots exactly, and there are still people here that think he's a good basketball player, are you blind?

 

but River how do you turn over the ball when you are on defence.

I see Bones point now. Aminu may bang in the paint more but he doesnt have the ball so turnovers are irrelevant on that end for him. The only time he can turn the ball over is when he is posting up his defender, which he almost never does.

 

To me, the bottom line is that there are no real needle-movers available to add to the team, so we are left with 3-4 internal possibilities, that all have strengths and weaknesses. Our main hope is that one of them steps up and take the position by force.

 

Are you blind to the defensive side of the ball and his impact on it?

 

He plays 30 minutes per game, can't dribble, can't pass, is a mediocre shooter. He's somewhat effective as a small ball 4 but situationally, for 5-10 minutes per game, but we're giving him way too big a role. Having Harkless they are both tweeners, both not talented enough to play the 3 and both in this same role of small ball 4. We don't need both of them, we barely even need one of them.

 

His defense? It's not bad but he's far from our best defender. He can guard two positions and is a good all around defender but I would rather play a 3 who guards 3s and a 4 who guards 4 than having a tweener who can somewhat play both positions but isn''t very good in both
