2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

Yah but that's what I mean Lillard not a "good" passer

But Lillard is an effective as a passer...

He can get up to 8 assists a game in the NBA


But move it to FIBA and it looks way way way worse,

goes from being very effective to not adding any value as a passer.

usage is a lot lower too

McGee need some burn against Gogurt?

If they’re switching then it doesn’t really matter who’s at the 5, if you have him out there & you’re not switching he’s a liability in the PnR.

What I’m saying tho is even with 8 assists nobody talks bout Dame’s passing, none of these games is telling us anything regarding Dame on this topic

 

[dman14]

when's the last time dame stepped back and played off the ball like this

 

[Kinfolk]

Maria Taylor man

NGL, Dame looking kinda funny in the light. To a certain degree, this is the most important game he has played as a professional.

No hate. I **** w/ Dame Time. Hate what I'm seeing, but there are my thoughts.

Its a combination. If you had everyone flat and had him run a million logo PnRs like he does in Portland he’d look a lot different.

But he’s not a genius level playmaker and he’s running a different offense where he’s not featured.

 

[freeze]

C'mon man, get back to the game. Halftime longer than the game

 

[ill steelo]

USA traps and give up a 3 Will be a fun second half

Even if you did that it still wouldn't look as good
No defensive 3 seconds guys, the spacing wouldn't be the same.

Dame take one not two

It amazes me that we cannot defend Rudy Gobert without fouling. We're playing him like he's prime Shaq

Gobert doesn't have post moves

 

[AZwildcats]

Team USA complains a lot

 

[tramericanjr]

Gobert is the focal point on offense for France but not Utah

 

[freeze]

These refs blind

It's because he's more of a traditional big who seldom leaves the rim area, and damn near all our bigs grew up playing stretch 5s. My take.

All players complain lol

 

[elpablo21]

KD can't leave the game

Jrue putting Fournier through hell

 

[darthska]

Because Donovan Mitchell isn't French.
