OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - June 2021

Gobert is so overrated. 2 boards, 6 points, 0 blocks

 

And way over paid

 

Offensively, Simmons and Nurkic is not a viable lineup. I think ideally Simmons is a 5. There’s been no successful lineup in these playoffs with two non shooters on the floor.

 

I trade Nurk for decent needed pieces and promote Zach Collins as the starting center next to Simmons.

 

Gobert is killing this small ball lineup

 

That is both incredible and horrifying.

 

The man is making 205 million for 5 years!

 

Damn, no teams are healthy except the Blazers who are not playing lol

 

Would you let Gobert walk if he is a Blazer?

 

Utah is allowing Clippers to play small ball since they are not getting the ball in to Gobert on lobs or easy postups against smaller guys.

 

Loved Greg Anthony as a blazer, but tired of him as an announcer - he talks like he knows more than the players and coaches.

 

Gobert has no postup game. Gobert posting against a point guard is a win for LAC. Lobs are not as easy as people make them seem.

He’s a finisher. Asking him to do anything more on offense is asking to lose.

 

I remember people telling me Reggie Jackson was shit when I suggested we should sign him haha yeah I’m bragging.

 

Lue must have told Reggie Jackson he’s playing the Blazers

 

Anfernee Simons needs to watch game film of Reggie Jackson. Holy hell.

 

you don't want an all defensive team talent here because of his fit with nurkic? bench jusuf and play zach then.

 

Never said that. I just said the fit is tricky. I’d be trying to move Nurkic after.

 

How much is Gobert making again man just disappears late in games.

 

Paul George is exorcizing playoff demons right now. making him initiate plays is opening up his game.

 

had a monster defensive possession just now.
