2013-2014 NBA Season Thread

There are no excuses to lose to a team that's missing it's starting center, especially one as important as Bogut, when you're at full strength.

 

[Mexi]

Eh, jermaine had a few moments
Dwight sucked

Houston in 5

 

[elcheato]

Y'all mad

 

[BwareDWare94]

Well, that OT was really suspicious. If you were watching, you saw it, too. Constant pushoffs from Curry, and Iggy got away with one of the worst pushoffs I've ever seen. 

 

[BwareDWare94]

But like I said...Houston can't just play for 1 quarter and fuck off for 3. It's amazing they were even in the game. 

 

[Mexi]

Okc should trade for rondo

Fits better than westbrook

 

[BwareDWare94]

Rondo is recovering from an ACL, is injury prone, and we don't even know if he'll ever be the same player. Trading for him could be disastrous for any team. 

 

[Mexi]

Russell has had like 3 surgeries in 10 months

Risk for risk

 

[BwareDWare94]

This is true, but he's a risk who has a developed offensive game and can be a reliable player even if he has to change his game .

 

[Mexi]

Rondo fits so much better than him

Theres a reason there is no change in play when russell is out or when he plays
His impact is small

Rondo is a better reggie jackson

In his past 5 games:

4 of them he scored 15+
4 of them he put up 10+ assists
4 of them he had 6+ rebounds


Averaging 15.2/9.4/6.4 in February


He's the same player. Not to mention, this is his only real injury. How does 1 injury make someone injury prone?

 

[Pugz]

rondo isnt injury prone. wtf did that even come from? hes played through a lot of little stuff and had one major injury.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Mexi was just mad the Rockets lost and was saying irrational things haha.

 

[footballplaya52]

rondo tears his acl and misses one season and ppl ready to write him off like hes drose

 

[Hurricane Season]

I said the same about Rose last year, and look where we are.

 

[bosoxlover12]

DRose came back briefly and wasn't the same

Rondo came back and is just as good of a distributor and defender, and has a much improved jumper

It's weird tho, because he was better than he'd ever been through the preseason.  I understand that it's the preseason, but he was playing against other teams starters.

 

[footballplaya52]

to me it seems like rose is the type to be afraid to get hurt again so he plays differently. i don't think rondo is like that

 

[bosoxlover12]

Rose's biggest strength is driving to the hoop with his athleticism. If he doesn't think he can do it as effectively, he won't be able to and his game drops a lot


If Rondo doesn't think he can drive to the hoop, he'll literally just be the distributor and take the open jumpers


So yea, rondo is mentally stronger, but it's more about skill sets and play styles that is affected

Only took Monty 21 minutes to figure out AD needs to defend Al Jefferson. That must be some sort of record.
