NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

[DJT]

JJ is more than a 3 point shooter to now. If you watch a magic game you'll see that. But I still like Jimmer more.

 

[.infamous]

I know that jimmer is better than jj but I just see him being that type of player. where he is gonna be a 6th man pretty much possibly 7th man. But I could be wrong and he could easily be a starting player. But thats what I see in him.

 

[Pugz]

jj is an underrated defender..

 

[Mexi]

^true
JJ is also pretty good size and has decent speed

people just said he would be a "bust" because they didnt like Duke
best shooting stroke in the NBA. one of the best i've ever seen. it's picture perfect

Jimmer can shoot, but his lack of speed/athleticism in today's game really worries me. especially since he's going to have to guard PG's. i think every NBA PG is faster than him, even DFish

and no way he can guard shooting guards

he truly mirrors adam morrison

 

[Mexi]

anyways, i came in here to say Bynum is suspended 2 games
fine. i suggested 2 games the other day. horrible foul

but it sucks that lakers play portland next. sigh
dont care about phoenix

hopefully they can get a win. LMA wouldnt have stood a chance guarding Drew. fuck
anticipate a laker loss. bynum is our best player right now

jimmer is gonna look awkward defending high level guards. but im damn sure his offense will get him steady playing time. i wouldnt say hes gonna be a bust at all. he should be solid.

 

[Mexi]

im not necessarily saying bust
i'd definitely give him a chance

if he learns to take a charge, why not
if adam morrison didnt blow out his knee, he'd still be playing. he was pretty good his rookie year. all rookie 2nd team averaged 14 a game. blew out his knee, lost confidence, couldnt get playing time under larry brown or the lakers, and that was that i guess

the eddie house comparison on nbadraft.net is a pretty good one

ugh, but at least eddie has some speed and quick hands. he gets some steals here and there

 

[elcheato]

Eddie House is strictly catch and shoot. Jimmer can stop and pull up, hit contested jumpers from any range. That's not a good comparison.

 

[Mexi]

he wont be getting his shot like he does now in the NBA as often

he'll have to become a catch and shoot guy

 

[Pugz]

he'll be better then eddie. eddie is a bum

 

[Elite]

Don't hate on Eddie House and his championship ring

 

[Pugz]

a lot of bums have rings. that team made everyone think hes something more then what he is. sure, hes a solid 10th/11th guy off the bench that can hit clutch shots.. but thats it.

though, ill admit hes what any championship team needs. i just dont like him.

 

[DJT]

Jimmer can use his body extremely well to get to the hoop though, draw the foul, or make the layup.

 

[$tunna]

Thank you Hawks. THANK YOU

 

[buzzy]

Raptors sweep the season series against the Thunder. What.

 

[Mexi]

lakers, wow
portland had that game too

kobe played like a 50 year old for 3 quarters, he's so banged up, but was clutch as usual. boy was he clutch

lakers missed bynum vastly, but still won. excellent
i was worried about portland, but with bynum playing like he is, im hoping the lakers get them
Gerald is their starting PF. yikes

 

[DJT]

He does fine at PF I think. He's a good defender, just undersized. Only had 9 and 9, could of used more out of him or Roy.

 

[Mexi]

he cant guard pau, or bynum on a switch

yeah they could have used more out of those 2, and lakers could have used bynum > _>

 

[DJT]

I think it would still be close if both teams were healthy even (not including Oden)

 

[Mexi]

i agree if your including oden
otherwise, they're good, but not enough size. even their bigs just take jumpers (lamarcus and marcus)
