In the words of Charles Barkley, our defense is "Turrible"!

Close game here. I love the effort to keep this game close and make it a game. Tatum to the line.

Game tied with 14 seconds to go.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:31am On Oct 26, 2021
That was a badly executed final possession. OT here we go..
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:33am On Oct 26, 2021
For the love of God please play some defense! 2 OT games in only our 4th game of the season.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:36am On Oct 26, 2021
Get back on defense guys! Stop getting carried away by the highlight Dunk!

But that Dunk Facial by JB on Bridges was sic!
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:39am On Oct 26, 2021
Looks like the W is in the bag

This was a very important W against a gritty Hornets team. Hopefully, this W helps the team grow into the new season.

J. Tatum- 41 Points, 8 Assists, 7 Rebounds.

J. Brown- 30 Points, 9 Rebounds and 3 Assists.

Both players need to watch tonight's tape and see how they mixed it up on offense.

Giannis just a different type of cat. Also doing some playmakin with Holiday out
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 7:14am On Oct 26, 2021
I didn't watch the Hornets game but the fact they could take the Celtics to overtime just a night after playing the Nets shows a lot. Bridges and Ball with huge games again. If Hayward can just play something close to an all-star then this team could be in the running for a play-in spot.

The argument is based on generational talent not great shooting. You said that because Klay is second best shooter of all time, that equates to him being a generational talent. Steph is a generational talent not because he can just shoot but became is a bona-fide top tier number 1 option. You are the first person I have ever heard who equates a generational talent as one who is exceptional at just one skill.
Klay is a great shooter, but calling him a generational talent is watering down the term.
Is Rodman a generational talent because he is the greatest rebounder of all time?

I think Klay is being underrated and disrespected in this league. I don't want to dabble into this generational talent argument but boy! Klay is both an awesome shooter and a great defender. He has ticked all the boxes. The only question still remaining is if he can be a successful number 1.

And yes, only Klay can answer that.

Unfortunately, we havent seen the warriors being run by Klay, without Steph. It is one thing to be a great shooter. Its another thing to be able to get your shot when the defense is built to stop you. When Steph is on the court, the defensive pressure is never as great on Klay. There is nothing in Klays repertoire that suggests he can make those shots under defense geared to stop him at all cost. Furthermore, we have no evidence he can put his head down and slash to the rim like Durant, or dribble to the rim like Curry.

If anything I think there is a little bit of overrating of Klay. Remember the series vs Cavs where they came back down 1-3? If Klay was as deadly as people now say, you would not need to go get a Durant the next season to help equalize vs a Lebron led team.

At this point, we know Curry is legit generational talent. We are seeing him ball with all the defense geared to stop him. Unless Klay is put in that same situation for a season, any talk of him being generational is just conjecture.

AD went down in the final seconds of the 4th clutching his knee but he seems to have recovered as he is still on the court battling it out in OT

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:19am On Oct 27, 2021
The Jazz need D. Mitchel to move the ball and continue to improve with his assists/ overall team play. They are one good series away from playing in the conference finals and that means having more than Donovan dominate scoring.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 4:23am On Oct 27, 2021
Monster games from Russ and AD tonight. And Russ shot over 50% from the field too. But this is why we brought him in; so we don't have to suffer anytime LeBron sits. With just AD tonight the Lakers would have lost this game easily. I hope this game is what sparks Russ' season to life.

Una dey give this generational talent unnecessary definition sha. Generational talent is simply what it means - generational talent. Meaning talent that doesn't come by easily. It means talent that we don't see regularly. Generational talent doesn't mean someone that can lead a franchise, neither does it me number 1 option. There are countless number one options and franchise players that are not generational talents.
