AD will get that triple double tonight. 18 pts, 7 rbs, 7 blks midway through the 3rd.

 

[elcheato]

Well, we're opposite on that. I posted about how he was my guy in the draft a while ago and thought he was a future all-star, but not a fit with the Cavs. I still think he'll pan out to some extent. His offensive talent can't have just dissipated like it has.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Me not liking him didn't have anything to do with his offensive game. It was to do with his defense, laziness, and his injury history.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I don't know if you're watching, but god I hate Dion Waiters so much.

I don't know if you're watching, but god I hate Dion Waiters so much.

What did he do?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Nothing in particular, just am not a fan of his game. His stat lines are nice, but he's not a guy I would want on my team if I was trying to build a winner.

 

[playmaker7]

I thought Dion was pretty good. Him and Kyrie make a good backcourt. There's some shit he can improve on but the dude is nice.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

David Wesley said it the best. Cleveland has a lot of individually skilled players, but how many basketball players do they have? How many guys will play with each other? And that extends past the offensive side of the ball to the defensive side of the ball as well. Perfect example with Waiters was he drives inside and makes the dump off to Zeller who bobbles the ball out of bounds. Wesley then said something to the effect that some guys would say "I just made that pass and he turned the ball over, I didn't even get an assist out of it when I could have shot it," and Wesley said those guys will shoot it next time they get the ball, and sure enough next time Waiters touched the ball he jacked up a three. It's just the little things.

 

[elcheato]

The only problem "individual" player on the team is maybe Waiters. They need him to be a 2nd scorer. He's not that good yet (probably won't ever be), but that's his role. Poor coaching isn't helping him either.

 

[elcheato]

Anthony Bennett with a career high 13 points, and it's causing a buzz.
 
I hate this season

In a vacuum they are both individually good players, but I wouldn't want to play them together in the same backcourt. That's another big problem. You can just look at the numbers, the team is really bad when they are on the court together.

Houston, you make no sense.

 

[Mexi]

Are jabari and embiid really staying

 

[Mexi]

Pugz is duncan a generational talent?

 

[elcheato]

Best PF of all time! Even though he's been a center more than half his career

 

[Mexi]

Ever since cc said he questioned if the nba 3 would be out of kellys range, a lightbulb went on

No wonder he always always pump fakes at the 3 point line and takes a dribble in

 

[Mexi]

Indiana has a starting lineup on the bench

Mahinmi, scola, granger, watson

 

[elcheato]

Eh, starters on really bad teams maybe. They're all better suited for the bench. Really good bench players though.

 

[Pugz]

Pugz is duncan a generational talent?

yes.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Duncan isn't a generational talent because he played his prime years with a prime Shaq and KG.
