Well if AD was going then this wouldn't be an issue, but the Spurs kept the game in striking distance and it definitely seemed they needed Lebron...
I know: not only do they not get to play Trent but they got Melo lol. That's double victory before the tip for the Clips. Melo makes them worse...
He looks slower and less explosive than last year for sure. So tough to tell with him as he's gone thru bouts like this since he left Miami then...
That combo of Kawhii, Beverly, Serge, and PG is a scary defensive unit. Ibaka really fixes a lot of problems they had last year: him and Kawhii...
It's also tactics and not just personnel: notice Harell was playing 5 on defense. He was guarding Nurkic on the PnR. There is big difference in...
Harell is not a good defender though: the Blazers hunted him down just like Denver did in the playoffs. I'm completely ok with Vogel experimenting...
His ability to get to the basket is so good: I still think he's 1 to 2 years away but you combine the ability to get to the basket with a pull up...
Just terrible positioning: he's stuck in no man lands. Not contesting the roll man or the dribbler
I agree but it looked like the Blazers were playing a big guarding the dunker position so the hard double could come with size. This was the whole...
Don't know why Vogel stuck with it so long. The Lakers just kept bleeding out slowly with him in that lineup. If you don't want to play Gasol...
Man I really don't like his fit with AD and Lebron in a finishing lineup He doesn't space the floor and he's not included in any PnRs so you take...
Everyone is scared not to try to get some of the LA market (see California Angels or whatever the f*** they are now) if your in SoCal. That being...
Sorry I screwed up the ideal lineup for Gasol would probably be Marc/Kuzma/Lebron/Caruso/KCP. That is 4 guys who are threat to shoot, cut, or...
He's got great instincts as an off the ball guy but it's tough to use the skills because every team he ends up on, he always ends up being the on...
Biggest advantage Jokic has with passing as he's a great passer on the move and in the old man Sabonis role. I haven't seen Marc be as good with...
He looks and plays so much like old man Sabonis on the Trail Blazers. Sits at the top of the arc orchestrating the offense while little guys...
Larry Hughes whose career basically got derailed with all the ankle injuries he got was once asked basically why he was made out of glass vs...
These things are tough: I agree he could have gotten a bigger deal. But then let's say he goes to a team in which he has to create ala Jeremi...
I think he's been fine on the PnR: more of an issue as a weak side rim protector. He was never a great leaper but with his massive size he had...
He's definitely a 2 on offense and a 1 on defense. He really is a Beverly type: you can see what he wants to do in a playmaking role but even...
