2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Post-Joey Crawford Edition

Were we not watching the same play at the end of game 2 where Adams successfully defended a 3-on-1 COMPLETELY BY HIMSELF; first taking the driver, shutting him down, going out to the corner to block Patty Mills directly after, and tying up the ball on the floor all within seconds of each other? He's extremely versatile. This isn't to say that he could be able to shut down Draymond, but he's a very capable defender that can guard multiple spots.

thats all at the rim

He can't defend anywhere near the perimeter

Aldridge is not a back to the basket big. I cannot stress this enough lol. His primary scoring is with his shooting

San Antonios utilizes Aldridge in the post much more than Portland did. San Antonio posted up Aldridge on 34% of his possessions during the regular season, and he's also leading all players in post ups during the preseason by a wide margin, 19 more than the second place guy.

Preseason stats in an argument? Haven't seen that one before

(probably was a typo)

 

[buzzy]

Aldridge had the second most post ups of all players in the 2007 summer league

It's that type of advanced scouting that makes the Sports Forum so great.

That's Dan, the board idiot

HOT TAKES

 

[elcheato]

My takes may be stupid, but they're also dumb!

ref point on game

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I think OKC would put up a fight but I'm not sure how many games they could take. That team is just rather...meh

Two elite players, bit I don't like the supporting cast they put around them. That's a team that uses the high PnR a lot, which is kind of GS's speciality. Couple that with OKC's pretty unimpressive offense, I don't think GS would have all that much difficulty guarding them.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I think GS sweeps OKC

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I don't think it would be a sweep, you'd have a game or two in there where one of (or both) Russell/KD just go off and they take a game, maybe two. I just look at that OKC offense, yes they're good, but their plays go dead quite a bit and they rely on their two stars to make something happen. Not sure you could consistently have success doing that against GS.

 

[Pugz]

i think gs gets it done in five games.

 

[elcheato]

Sweeeeeeeep

 

[Mexi]

Only i call sweeps for everyone

they're good

( just kidding they're actually bad)

 

[elcheato]

I won't have to worry about you once Trump becomes president, they don't have internet where he is sending you

 

[Pugz]

they're good

( just kidding they're actually bad)

that was a bad take. a cold take.
