OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD- February 2021

Apparently, Draymond freelanced that because he assumed he'd be immediately fouled and wanted to game that.

 

Are you kidding me?

You constantly defend Terry's idiocy and post this shit to call out Kerr? Here is what Steve said afterward. Let me know the last time Terry owned up to his mistakes.



And here's another gem that your boy Terry would never ever do or espouse. He had Dame playing close to 40 minutes on the last game on a roadtrip when he wasn't even moving right and clearly in pain. I wish your dumbass coach that you defend to the ends of the earth would think about our franchise player like Kerr did:

 

overthinking.

Also, here's the play Kerr ran the possession prior to get a great look for Steph:



Started with Curry at halfcourt, forced a switch on the run and gave Curry space to go one on one against an inferior defender.

 

Whoosh... my post went right over your head.

I think Steve Kerr is a good coach. I don't think he drew up a play with that as the outcome.

Warrior fans are ripping him, but thats standard procedure for a fan base.

 

Portland was in the same spot in the defensive ranking when Nurkic was healthy

as far as the "2 MVPs and another all star" excuse....? we're talking about Harden, Irving, and defense, right?...two defensive sieves. Trying to suggest they are responsible for a better defense because of their all-league credentials doesn't make sense. Besides that, Harden has missed 14 games, Irving 9 games, Durant 7 games.

 

I watched that live. That was the worst play I’ve ever seen. What was Dray thinking?

 

They don’t have 2 All Stars

 

You literally said this:

 

You play to win the game..haha

 

That Thunder/ Laker game was a fun one to watch last night!

 

I was literally being sarcastic.

If you've read my posts, you'd know I'm actually not pro-Stotts and think coaches play a very small role (no, not none) in the outcome of games. Which is why I joked about Kerr drawing up a play to cost them the game.

 

Eric Gordon tonight with the minus-40.

 

Utah is the new Rockets? They only shoot 3s

 

he scored 23 himself; that would make -40 almost impossible. Kudos to him for finding a way

 

And i think most of those losses without Durant. Again brings up the question whether a team with two great guards can play championship level without a taller star.

 

Must be the coach and schemes.

 

Wow Utah is killing it? What the fuck is so different about them from last year? Is Mitchell the next big superstar? What the hell is going on in Salt Lake

 

it's the second year that the rotation has been together; and yes, they've had excellent health so far

and they have a nicely balanced roster; players that fit together well anchored by a two time DPOY

but they also could be just in a team-wide hot streak. Look at their 3 point shooting:



5 different guys shooting 41% or better on nearly 32 attempts a game. And a 6th man of the year candidate shooting 38% on 8 attempts. They'll be the #1 seed if that level of shooting is sustained.

and keep in mind that Utah has been floating between the 2nd best and 4th best defense in the league. Today, they rank 4th in defensive rating AND offensive rating. Pretty damn hard to beat that kind of efficiency on both ends of the floor, especially with that 3 point shooting

 

Wow that’s unbelievable numbers. Just crazy to see.

Btw NOW that’s the type of shooters you surround Lillard with. Who the hell is their gm?!
