Nope. And he was unstoppable because he seemingly didn’t miss an outside shot the entire time.

him being a versatile big does change things. But let’s not pretend like he was on the block even 50% of the time

But when he's on the block, he won5be stopped.

Competitive edge. Just like if KD posts you up, nobody can't do nothin

 

[trynafeelmink]

Good luck to the beloved small ball lineups trying to keep Bron, AD & Drummond off the Boards.

1. So what? BKN loaded up on bigs because they know who the target is - AD and the Lakers' bigs is who they know they gotta match up with.

2. Embiid can't beat the Nets by himself which is why Philly UPGRADED their roster this year by adding a big (Dwight), and a 3 & D (Green) and a specialist (Seth Curry). Hence, fulfill the Formula. The point stands, a team with superstars NEEDS LEGIT BIGS TO COMPETE because you gotta match up with LAL bottom line.

3. It's a team game. Show me where I implied Aldridge would stop AD lol. You putting words in my mouth bro. Stop the nonsense. It will be THE COMBINATION of KD, DJ, LMA, and BG that is needed to WEAR DOWN Davis and make it harder for him so he dont6have it easy all the time. It's playoff basketball, playoff type strategies.

1. they loaded up on bigs for Embiid. Make him have to defend in space as much as possible. He can watch DJ/Claxton. They are dunkers. Blake can make plays, makes Embiid move. LMA can shoot. Embiid can’t play drop on him. These are offensive adjustments. It’s going to take team defense to contain AD/Embiid.
2. dwight ain’t doing a thing against Brooklyn. ZERO. They’ll be seeking him out the second he steps on the floor. He’s undisciplined.

3. Your infatuated with names. You also keep naming KD as a big. They are bringing in bigs for different offensive looks. Not to bang with AD. YOU DONT CALL NO KNEES BLAKE to defend AD. They brought in two bad rebounding bigs. They are thinking offense first because everything is going to run through the wings.

 

[amitt5504]

It doesn't matter because who plays bully ball anymore though?

You clearly said the Nets can run any style and I brought up one they clearly can’t run....

we all know damn well teams gonna run their bread and butter and with the Nets it’s ISO. You really think KD, Myrie and Jim gonna listen to Nash drawing up plays in the huddle? The same Myrie who said we don’t have a head coach?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

To be fair, Kevon Looney and Zubac might be better than LMA/DJ/Blake for this Nets team

If BKN felt that way they woulda obtained them. Let's be real bro

If Blake has the ball from 15 feet and out and I am not guarding him. If he shoots that’s a win for the defense because that’s a shot one of the big 3 doesn’t take

 

[Zo gif]

Lakers new frontcourt

 

[addict4sneakers]

that’s why you give LMA those minutes when blake is off or can’t be trusted

You brought up a style that nobody plays though. So it's irrelevant. Any of the modern prevalent styles they can do.

 

[2163O1baller90]

Drummond is about to eat

 

[JusaVibe]

Ainge just lucky Tatum is a franchise player and Brown is a perfect compliment to him. All this pump faking he did through free agency

 

[amitt5504]

The Sixers play that style lol so it’s not irrelevant don’t be moving goalposts

 

[nike4kja05]

Let’s go Lakeshow!

 

[amitt5504]

The same can be said about LMA. If he wants to take mid range shots all game let him. Less shots by the big 3

 

[trynafeelmink]

Curious to see how Drummond plays when he defers and is in a winning environment.

Man has spent his whole career playing with Guars Like Brandon Jennings, Reggie Jackson, DJ augustin etc etc, I expect him to surprise a lot of people playing next to Bron & AD

 

[storm2006]

About a year after the fact, my wife revealed she was not feeling our first kiss. But her gripe was stylistic, not anatomical. I figured it out, apparently.

That’s one of the funniest parts of dating someone for a long time. How **** comes out like “Well you know at first...” or “Remember that time XYZ...well....”.

Reminds me of all those stories that eventually leak about players almost getting traded but didn’t or draft scenarios that turned out a certain way because of something crazy behind the scenes

 

[MVP]

The Sixers play that style lol so it’s not irrelevant don’t be moving goalposts

Embiid spends 30% of his time on the perimeter. Nobody else on that team is bullying anybody. Stop.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Nets have the flexibility to play any style against any team or maybe more importantly teams will have to adjust to them or get ran off the floor. That's invaluable.

In other words, exactly what I've been hammering all day just worded differently. BKN not only can kill you with their Big 3 from outside, but they can kill you from the post with KD and LA, kill you on lobs with DJ and BG, and defend inside and rebound with DJ, KD, BG, and LA

And some of these bros wanna make it seem as if BKN big 3 can do those same damn things if they had Looney and Zubac instead of BG and Aldridge.

If it weren't all about having the right mix of bigs on the roster, Boston's Big 3 should been winning with Theis and Thompson right lol

LOL

 

[art vandelay]

Claxton and Green are both more important than Aldridge but you know... Names. Narratives. Miseducation.

If anything, Jordan needs to be Claxton’s back up going forward.

 

[amitt5504]

You definitely don’t watch the Sixers play if you truly believe that.

Embiid will catch it from 18 and still get into the paint from posting up that far....this ain’t AD

 

[addict4sneakers]

The same can be said about LMA. If he wants to take mid range shots all game let him. Less shots by the big 3

if he’s in pick and pop with harden, he’s going to get open shots. I’m no the biggest fan of the signing but again he provides a different offensive look than the dunkers they have

 

[wavycrocket]

Bron fans wilding on the internet today

 

[amitt5504]

Of course. He adds a different element. I’m just saying I’m giving LMA those shots. If he makes them he makes them

LOL

LMA will be their 4th post up option and Nash and company ain’t about that post up life
