• Person A - He scores a lot in the post
• Person B - Posts his literal post scoring numbers which contradict that
• Person A - Pointless stat
• Person A - Sources the eye test

Niketalk basketball debate.

Harden used to post up more before under Mchale.

Developing a post game can only help IDC what the stats say. Posting up is an added offensive option if he can actually score there.It could take less energy to get to the cup since he gets the ball close.Can draw doubles and hes a talented passer. The thing with harden is he has a low release point and he isnt as tall as other post players so fadeaways are tricky.
Posting up smaller players is still good basketball if the guy knows what hes doing.

Preach bishop!!

Posting up curry and where is Capela standing?

 

[nick.]

Could a post up game help? Sure.

I just wouldn't want my dynamic guard banging down low for the one of the most inefficent shots in basketball.

 

[hardens beard]

Posting up wasn’t gonna help beat the Warriors

Just live with 20 missed 3s in a row then

NT was roasting the Dubs when KD was ******* up possessions by deciding to iso and post up.
Now that the Rockets miss an improbable amount of 3s they wanna act like that **** is the answer.

I hate Draymomd Green but I’ll recognize he’s the best help defender in the league. Posting up with him as the help defender is counterintuitive

Had to bold and change the color for emphasis

there were Plenty Of opportunities when Capella wasn't on the floor this series, when they could have taken advantage of this. Dude wasn't even playing 30 minutes per

I don't think the debate is whether or not a post game is a value add to a player but rather if it would help beat the Warriors and I would argue that it wouldn't.

No point in even entertaining the barbershop boys in here today.

This isn’t enough of a surface level argument for the barbershop boys to understand.

The Warriors have lost 6 playoff games in the Durant years and half of them are against the Rockets but somehow the Rockets had the wrong game plan.

 

[danikerhino]

You do know the Warriors were ranked 15th in 3 pointers attempted right?

I was talking about the Warriors before they got Durant. The point eluded you.

Roasted him because the Warriors have a full functioning Offnse that has proven to dominate teams when they run it, The Rockets on the other hand are either A or B & were bricking everything in sight

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Capela might have played too many minutes when Chris paul was healthy. They were better with him on the bench

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Yall are stuck on this idea of posting up being catching the ball on the block and backing down all the way to the hoop. Again, look at LeBron. Drive from the top of the key, recognize the paint defense, immediately pull up for a turnaround or half spin. Don't even need to put a body on the defender

NBA players can live anywhere in the world if they so choose... They can pool their money together and build the playgrounds they want... then charge other players to visit there.. Like really only the ones that want to be seen as celebrities have a problem living in cities like Cleveland

You act as if these players don't have families or if they do want to live away from them for extended periods of time.
As far as building playgrounds and such that's just poor financial discipline. Why live somewhere that require you to spend money to improve quality of living? Plenty of cities have it readily available.
Stop thinking money is infinite and will always be available to earn in their profession.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Perfect game plan

 

[VARNELL HILL]

What's the difference between iso'ing on the wing repeatedly and iso'ing on the block repeatedly?

Either way...it's an ugly style of basketball and you'll have 4 guys standing and watching.

 

[maxelite]

Is there a stat about the amount of contested threes taken by Houston game by game against GSW? Sorry Im being lazy.

Rockets needed to make more shots. They were bricking 3s left and right. They also missed a ton of layups over the series. Mid range and post would have granted better looks, helping to defeat the warriors
