ATL - Oladipo is Really Good (and Bledsoe dominant again)

Utah getting smoked to make it 0-7 to start the year. I really didn't see them being this bad, but wow will it pay off if they can sustain it. Add a Randle, Parker, or Wiggins to that core..yikes.

Bogey with 1 point of pure offensive domination!

Those highlights don't even show his range either. He is a very good FT shooter for his size and can hit deep 2's, and possibly 3's in the future if he wants.

Their frontcourt is very talented but extremely young, and they have no depth up front. As good as Favors and Kanter may end up (and I think Kanter has awesome potential offensively), they are still 21 and 22 respectively. It is almost impossible to win with a starting frontcourt that young unless they are HOF lock type talents. Young bigs like that need great guard play to succeed.

Sadly, or, perhaps fortuitously (or, intentionally), their point guard play is the worst in the league. They are starting a completely done 35 year old Jamal Tinsley. His backup is a never was John Lucas who is 31 (I only included Hayward in the screen grab to capture the sort abbreviations).

You will need to right click, view image since RealGM has stopped resizing images for some reason.

WTF is up with that?

haha, what a finish in Miami.

Wade misses the FT and Green for the win with.6

BUCKnation · Post #1087 » by **BUCKnation** » Sun Nov 10, 2013 3:27 am

It only confirms how unstoppable Jeff Green is.

Miami is finding out just like the back to back teams before them that the third one in the row is the hardest. The East is so uneven after the Top 3 teams its ridiculous. Unfortunately this is why Kohl will never rebuild.

Apart from the amazing recovery block on Pau, that first one was fantastic. He just waited and didn't overcommit. You can't teach that.

He's like a Blake Griffin that I like coz he isn't a whiny bitch and plays both ends.

Just saw the end of the Heat game. Wade's FT has to be right at the top of all-time brainfarts in league history. Hilarious.

I had him as Bill Russell pre draft now I'm thinking David Robinson with guard skills.

David Robinson had guard skills.

Better guard skills? D Rob was more like Bigger,stronger Bosh with better passing on offense IMO. A little mechanical I guess?

*Also, your mum had guard skills.

Mom eh? you guys are odd.

I'm still loling at whoever it was that tried claiming Nerlens Noel was going to 'shame' Davis or whatever the exact wording was. No. Just don't. Injury aside, Davis is and will always be far more skilled and complete of a player.

I think that is a terrible comparison. Bosh is David Robinson without arms or legs (and I like Bosh).

bullox · Post #1098 » by **bullox** » Sun Nov 10, 2013 11:47 am

I think it's fair to say you're under evaluating Bosh. He's highly skilled with range. He's not the Admiral but the difference isn't so hyperbolic.

Bosh and D Rob have similar volume scoring faceup games. Bosh from further out, Robinson a little more variety because he had the strength to mix in some power stuff. It was only a comparison in how they like to score. Bosh is obviously a much worse all round player. I certainly wasn't looking to make a defensive comparison.
