The Official NBA Season Thread: Sunscreen and GOAT Talk

[Mister Meaner]

Zion really don’t need to be that big to be unstoppable still.

Trying not to fall for the conspiracy that he’s unmotivated by his circumstance but it don’t make any sense.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

14 straight loses for the Pistons

Ausar had 16 on no 3's or FT's... slightly fascinated with how the shot chart looked

 

[HOU$TON]

Scoot's athleticism got overhyped. It's merely good, not on the tier of DRose or Westbrook. His game right now is just too dependent on tough shot making in part.

Bingo.

That Dean on draft guy on twitter has a lot of hot takes and doubles down when he sees the reaction but he was spot on with scoot. He wrote a really good article with supporting stats showing that although scoot looks the part physically, he’s not a Ja/Russ/Rose/Wall level athlete.

How Athletic is Scoot Henderson?

The draft is full of nuances, as it is extremely difficult to discern who the best players are, how they will translate to the NBA, and how they will develop over time.

Scoot always reminded me more of a Kawhi type offensive player. Bowling ball with fast twitch more so than up and down, get to his spots .. a muted sauce, just enough

AD don’t look too upset thankfully

Didn’t watch the game but just looking at the box score, it seems like Cade/Ivey/Ausar/Duren all played pretty well.

And they got smoked by the Wiz

They just don’t hit enough 3s to keep up.

It's kinda crazy how fat Zion looks

You mean how fat he is?

Bogdanovic and Monte Morris should not be this important.

The draft is the part of basketball I am the least plugged into. It's nice when I come across something truly solid like this.

It’s almost like the Lakers aren’t missing 4 key rotation players

Bron ad and reaves play?

Those 4 account for 40 points?

Bron the goat?

Interesting?

 

[freeze]

This loss on Rui and Andrew 3000? Interesting

 

[ballinsam23]

who's this Fettuccine guy on the Jazz

 

[lawdog1]

Like, in his face and neck. It's crazy

Is there an easy way I can see a players widest margin of defeat? I would imagine most of the all time greats have at least one 40 point loss in their career.

 

[don ramon]

ok maybe not after this neil diamond cam

hey what do you know
