They were letting LeBron take FIVE dribbles in the post against John, sent absolutely no help. He was backing John down completely under the rim for easy layups. And this was late in the game

This team will not accomplish anything until they take defense seriously.

yeh bruh dropped 19 on walls head right quick..lebron had washington lookin like da slizzards yadig

Zo +15 in +-?!
There has to be an advanced stat to explain that though.

He's a dreadful scorer but he defends and does literally everything else on the court.

I expected him to struggle scoring so I'd be much more concerned if he didn't show any all around capability, but he's been fine in those aspects.

IT almost byke

The #3 offense in the league gets to add one of the worst defenders in basketball to its bottom 10 defense.

Just what they needed.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It's tough watching bbb struggle to score out there

Interesting to see smith and fox have their struggles too though as much as folks like to say they should've been selected before bbb

No excuses for bbb he is looking shakey af in terms of scoring and kinda is invisible lately. Still got faith he'll evolve into something much different down the road once they have a more suitable lineup

Lopez read NT and my comments doe

They already had a trash defensive point guard this one avg 30 pts and led the league in 4th quarter points

Numbers be damned Mitchell is reminding me of a young Eric Gordon offensively. Kinetic energy af, dude is starting to settle down and appears that he gets it

Early rookie team:
Simmons
Mitchell
Tatum
Kuz
Lauri

Good to see a number of other rooks flourishing too

 

[hardens beard]

Myrie is #1 in defensive win shares #1 in steals per game and #2 in defensive rating.

Naw man...you keep ignoring the most important indicator, real +/- this is the REAL rookie team:

Ball (ROY)
Isaac
OG Anunoby
John Collins
Jarrett Allen

Boogie's like #5 in defensive win shares too right? Brazy/

He's been a solid defender but on offense 90% of the time he just jogs with the ball up court, passes it away as soon as he crosses half court then orders an uber out of the arena.

 

[Moheezy]

Myrie is #1 in defensive win shares #1 in steals per game and #2 in defensive rating.

It's amazing what a real team and a real coach can do for you.

It's amazing what a real team and an real intellectual coach can do for you.

Lost in all the Ben Simmons talk is how good Lauri has been.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Lost in all the Ben Simmons talk is how good Lauri has been.

I was told in here that he'd be a bust though.

 

[ballinsam23]

Doncic - Lavine - Lauri

Needs to happen.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Wouldn't mind a donic frank zinger combo either

Bagley and Porter are the goods doe

 

[ballinsam23]

I wish we got Doncic, but at the rate we're going right now idk. Still way too early ofcourse.

Is Porter really the goods? Or is it just hype for another tweener forward whose really not great at anything.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I wish we got Doncic, but at the rate we're going right now idk. Still way too early ofcourse.

Bro I don't even mean to **** on you this early on a Saturday but yes, it's early hehe

Sixers gonna have two lotto picks as well or wut smh more red shirts but they're comin

 

[ballinsam23]

A lot of bad teams in the east are playing well right now. Well see how it plays out.

 

[B Sox]

Frank NT and Doncic would complement each other pretty nicely.
