**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[addict4sneakers]

I’m watching Giannis’ possessions last night, Gobert’s length bothered him some but Giannis smoked a few layups he normally makes. They did a good job not fouling him. Unless you have Gobert length, I don’t think this strategy will work cause even still Giannis was bodying this man

*cough cough* Ben Simmons *cough cough*

Horford guarded Giannis a lot last year in the playoffs. He’s the only one that stood a chance

Horford continues to get overlooked.

donovan mitchell better not plateau like tyreke evans
hope this is just a sophmore slump, but i do see a bunch of bad habits carrying over

His next step really should be to replicate the same averages except with higher efficiency and better shot selection.

Barely watched Jazz this season. Cliffs on Mitchell's bad habits? What stands out?

Last time I checked he was shooting 7 3's a game at 29%

 

[Maximus Meridius]

This is how BI should be getting his buckets.

1st off he gotta stop wearing that big *** headband.

Needs to create for others more too. His assist rate is pretty bad for someone who handles the ball as much as he does.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Good read on how Utah defended Giannis last night.

I wonder if more teams will take this approach.

Heat's 2-3 Zone seems especially effective against Bucks, this is most likely the reason.

 

[abematic]

Mitchell should learn from Harden foul drawing.

It's a lot easier to play this way when there's not 2 Cs on the floor. Kuz being back improved the spacing a lot even though he wasn't hitting ****.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

His efficiency was drastically lower than his season average plus they limited the Bucks 3 point shooting.

Dropping 30 in a blowout win kinda makes his efficiency irrelevant and he was still 13-30. Ain't like he shot 35% or something.

His decision making in PNR ain’t it.

1 point per shot is terrible efficiency.

 

[Lizakers]

Why y’all gotta post Lonzo’s FT% up in here? I was having a good day too

What I tried to tell this nba thread before the season started. That he need help and ain’t ready to carry the load. So he’s forced to take a lot of bad shots. Ricky and lucky lefty ain’t it for Mitchell to thrive.

 

[equality]

Would rather Mitchell's 7 3s per game on 29% shooting than a certain PG in Philly who's shot about 7 3s in his entire life.

His form is there, we know he can make them, just needs to select his shots better.

 

[freeze]

Worst form iver ever seen. And his name taco

Horford guards him a good bit when the Celtics play them. He’s still obviously not the physical presence that Greek is, but he isn’t going to get completely overpowered time after time either....That’s why it wasn’t completely shocking that the Bucks won the last matchup when both Horford and Morris (another bigger body) were out.

 

[equality]

Horford does agood job on Emibid too.

Screen shot makes it look like dude about to volleyball serve it

 

[jayt1202]

Does Lonzo Ball need to completely revamp his shooting motion to make it in the league long term? Those FT numbers are horrendous especially for a guard.
