The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[osh kosh bosh]

Towns improved as a post up guy, and became pretty good in the regular season.

but I think in the playoffs he's struggled against really good switch guys.

Austin Rivers calls out Gobert and Cat





He's soft as baby sxxx but at least he can shoot 3s right NT?

You got a role player journeyman telling his all star teammates that he's big for nothing... Obviously y'all fans care more about these bigs being able to dribble and shoot more than their teammates do.

 

[N41D]

Tell that to Luka & the fanbase after reaching the WCF.

Cuban don’t care about contracts.

Bad contracts and trades are why they're struggling to build around Luka.

Need to get to a place where they have all their picks to trade and get their cap sheet cleared of the nonsense (mainly Tim and Bertans) so they can be more flexible.

Julius Randle isn't doing anything to appease Luka or the fanbase. We've had enough Knicks trash roll through here lately to know it ain't the recipe.

Who are you even talking to?

Everybody in this thread has said this exact stuff about both Goober and KAT.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Jokic, Embiid, AD are all light-years ahead of Kat but I never see NT bragging about how "offensively talented" those 3 are.

Ok maybe this isn’t timid cause everyone raves about those 3 skills

 

[getback]

Timelord and Gallo still looming too.

 

[WASHED KING]

Kyrie and KAT most skilled?

 

[D StaXX]

That’s Timid cousin

 

[antidope]

My real point is that the guard skills drive the game the farthest. Since post-Shaq, winning at the highest level of basketball has been dominated by "Guard Skills". But we all know this. We don't need to argue about it.

The Lex Steele name drop reminded me that CES and AVN overlap this year.

Tons of tech professionals gonna be in town on the company dime, swiping their corporate cards on some nastiness.

HR professionals, corporate accountants, and credit card dispute agents better start locking in.

Winter is coming

Sheyyit lemme see if i can word an email convincingly enough that its career progress related and get my job to flew me out

How many Centers with "guard skills" have led their team to a ring?

 

[B Sox]

KATs shortcomings are more mental than anything else TO ME. He’s shown glimpses of being able to do all the stuff we criticize him about.

Mental a huge part of the package though, as we’ve seen.

GIANNIS

The one person who gets left out of these most skilled conversations. I blame Harden.

Tim Duncan?
Dirk?
Giannis?

Gianni’s, AD, Draymond, Dirk, KG to name a few.

You won’t find 10 quotes from me calling KAT great. Offensively he’s very similar to Ewing but I’ve never been a KAT fan like that.

KG?
Draymond?

Jump shooting isn’t limited to guards

This is true....I grave digged for pro-KAT propaganda to add to his folder.

He's innocent of this charge, can't make it stick unfortunately.

 

[Kierris]

Gianni’s, AD, Draymond, Dirk, KG to name a few.

What team did Draymond lead to the finals? AD is debatable.... I'll give you the other 3. That's 3 out of how many? Even with them 3, they were/are all beasts in the post which is my mans point. Having "guard skills" is just a bonus and if you aren't a beast in the post then that guard stuff is useless as evidence by Kat.

 

[antidope]

Tim Duncan?
Dirk?
Giannis?

Tim Duncan is the hardest justification here for most but I would say he had guard skills, guy could shoot and was a great passer for his size.

Giannis is Mr. Basketball, I don't think there's a single thing he couldn't do if he wanted to do it.

[WASHED KING]

Does Ben count as a skilled big?

Also Draymond did lead the Warriors >>>>>
