The grizzlies play better without morant, they went on a long run in the second half, when he was of the floor .. tyus Jones organises the offence better than him.. Although in a series that is slower, with morant, they would be better |

Thanos:Bro. I have been pro Lamelo and pushed for him to win ROY contrary to popular opinion that Edwards should have won it. I call it as I see it and I'm telling you in all sincerity that Lamelo is not a natural scorer, he can score yes but Lamelo taking the most FG for your team is not a winning formula Anthony Edwards is a scorer, maybe not efficient but he can improve. Lamelo's teams will get better when he keys in on being a true pass first PG a la Chris Paul. He's featured in two play in games. His shooting percentage? 28% If you're the PG taking that many shots on an inefficient clip your team does not have a prayer |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:26pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
Khanben:Why are you including 3 years when Kyrie and KD have only played in 2. Lakers are the only team that have spent 3 years together. Are supposedly the better duo and a pandemic flavored chip is all they have to show for it. The likes of Brooklyn can bring up injury excuse, Not the Lakers Lebron and AD - 108 games KD and Kyrie - 44 games Harden, KD and Kyrie - 16 games Kawhi and PG have played 80 games together. For only two seasons not 3 like you erroneously claim. |

Roland17:The man is surrounded by mediocrity. If you watched the box score for example you would think Will Barton had a good game but he was atrocious |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:32pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
Thanos:Good that you can observe this. This is also what Lamelo is morphing into at this rate and is doing it worse than Morant so I'm surprised you missed it |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 6:19pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
A40: Baba, the KD and Kyrie project for the Nets is in its 3rd year. That's the fact, whether they've played together or not is not the issue as far as I know they've been on the payroll for 3 years and have been cashing them checks for those 3 years. You are also claiming 3 years for the Lakers even thought most of those 108 appearances happened in the year they won the chip together and the other 2 seasons have been riddled with injuries for both AD and Lebron. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 6:26pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
A40: Both morant and Lamelo, still need learn how to play winning basketball. I liken their case to be like that of Booker before Monty and CP3 showed him the winning template and we can all see how he has run with it. As a general observation, some of these organizations are not doing their young franchise cornerstones any favors. Look at the Grizzlies, Twolves and the Hornets and you will observe symptoms of the same issues. |

A40: It will be one of the biggest travesties in the history of modern basketball if Jokic doesn't get a chance to play in the finals of the NBA playoffs. He becomes an UFA in 2023, he has chosen to stay silent until after the playoffs this season. He can sign the Supermax in the summer or leave. It would be interesting to see what he does because for such a talented superstar who is already 27, he is being sold short at Denver. |

Roland17: He will stay with them, Denver has not been doing that bad in building around him until they decided to give MPJ that albatross of a contract, apart from that they've made some solid moves in filling out that roster. Just hope for them that their gamble on MPJ pays off |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:59pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
Khanben:Don't be dubious. KD missed the entire season and Kyrie missed half of it. Adding the bubble season is dubious and dishonest. Same way adding Kawhi for the Clippers this season is dishonest. They did not play at all so it cannot possibly count Lebron and AD - 108 games KD and Kyrie - 44 games Harden, KD and Kyrie - 16 games There is not a season Lebron and AD did not play at least 20 games together. Same cannot be said for any other duo so your argument is inaccurate 1 Like |

A40: Oga, all that is just excuses. Kyrie personally decided not to play this season, nobody forced him to sit out. When it's all said and done the Lakers have a chip to show for the all in move, while the Nets and the Clippers have nothing to show for theirs 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 7:07pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
Khanben:The truth is very few teams have true old school points that can run the offense. What you have is combo guards who basically play the point nominally and due to size. You can see the influence of CP3 and Jrue Holiday on their respective teams, Jrue is not CP3 level for instance but he's very much been an upgrade on Bledsoe. Giannis is handling the ball less and the WALL has been rendered ineffective against him |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:09pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
Khanben: Neither MPJ nor Murray have shown they can stay healthy and that is a big problem. If Jamal and MPJ were healthy, the Nuggets would have wicked depth in their roster and will make some noise. With regards to MPJ's contract, while some portions are guaranteed, a good portion is also incentivized on his ability to stay healthy, number of games and making the All Star. |

Roland17:Really nothing he can do. His two best options are hurt. That would be like Embiid missing Maxey and Harden Provided Murray makes a full recovery Denver is still the smart play |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:12pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
Trae needs to develop a jumper, I don't mean a floater, a real jumper around the bucket. The Heat are trapping Trae very high up which is forcing him to give up the ball and more importantly, it blocks his driving lane to even attempt his floaters. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:39pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
The Hawks have no answer for that high trap the Heat are employing. Ironically, the solution is as simple as early and quick ball movement, instead of forcefully trying to initiate offense from the top of the key. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 7:44pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
Roland17:That is why I laugh each time I hear this more skilled bants. They just spam a boatload of 3's and when it's not falling no plan B. That's why the shooting numbers are either amazing or look like tour dates. No happy middle ground |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:53pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
A40: You are right on the money and this is with some soft calls oh. I would add that the Hawks lucked their way through the play-in tournament by not playing any kind of defense and now, it has caught up to them badly because this Miami defense is stifling the life out of Trae and the Hawks. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 8:05pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
A40: This is the issue I have with people like you, we all know how long it too the likes of Kobe, tmac, AI, grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Tony Parker, Jkidd etc to develop an all round game. Trea is just in his 4th season, some of the guys I listed above took almost a decade to get a jumper or fill up the holes in their games. so please stop this using every opportunity to bash these young guys. You keep making it sound like all the great players walked into the league as 3 level scorers and they did not work on anything year after year. 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:06pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
Roland17:Barring catastrophic injuries this should be a quick series. Miami has more shooters so they are better at what Trae does best. I struggle to see Atlanta winning more than a game |
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 8:07pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
A40: If there is any player that can make adjustments its Trae young. He has his limitations but if his shots are not falling, he can still fall back on his play making. The only problem in this series is that he has no big man to work with and the heats have multiple elite perimeter defenders they can keep throwing at him. This series is actually the worst case scenario for Trae but I am sure he would still get hot for at least a game. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:20pm On Apr 17, 2022 |
Khanben:Why are you raging like a bull in a China shop. I was not referring to just Trae. I'm saying there are several players in this era that sit on that table. No be person be Harden? No be person be Ben Simmons? |
