GT: Nets vs. Blazers & The NBA Playoffs- Thurs. 8/13/20 9:00pm EST

[MrDollarBills]

I think I remember you... Didn't we chat in the Anime thread before?

yeah I think so!

Definitely!

I remember we had some nice debates about Vinland Saga!



Glad to meet you again... I'm not posting there for almost a year.

Same good to speak with you again, I haven't visited that thread in a while.

I thought Vinland Saga finished pretty strongly

[MrDollarBills]

On a side note:

#Nets is now Trending Topic at Spain.

I think last time that happened was when you got KD.

I imagine is not only for Spanish Nets fans but because you have the key to send The Golden Boy Ricky Rubio to PO

Random question but who’s young talent out there in Spain we should be looking out for? The Nets are about to go into the annual scouting trip for the draft soon. We’ve got two picks and I’m curious on some underrated euro talent.

Yeah we need a good young wing.

[Paradise]

Lol Blazers wanna get physical but keep playing like that and see what happens.

[DarkXaero]

Allen needs to step up in this game, Whiteside shouldn't be getting the better of him.

[Stone]

There was not much Rodi could have done with no time on the clock.

Random....I think Rodi has on Kyrie shoes

[MrDollarBills]

LeVert is making his mark on national television

[MrDollarBills]

Put Hall in the game.

[MrDollarBills]

Caris is BEASTING oh my GOD!!!

[Born_Ready]

Caris is gassed and ballin'.

Put Hall in the game.

He’s out with an ankle injury which is why we put Anderson at C.

[DarkXaero]

Its gonna be tough if we can't slow down the Blazers defensively. Even if they're not draining their shots, they can still outwork us with their size, and the fact that they have reason to be more motivated than us.

Too bad. We could have used the big man depth.

Again, I'm mad that Marks did very little to address depth at C.

I think he’s more closer to Morey’s philosophy when it comes to small ball than you may think.

You mean heading into the bubble? Because I think Donta Hall was the right move, it's just that we haven't used him much, and now he's injured. But aside from that, it was also unfortunate that DJ got covid, and Claxton had season ending injury (he could have benefited sooo much from the bubble). We do need actual PFs on this team next season though.

Its kind of crazy how easy the game looks for LeVert right now.

I am a die-hard NBA fan and I barely watch FIBA Basketball... just International Tournaments (World Cup, European Cup Olympics...).

What I know for sure is there ain't right now astonishing young stars like in the past (Gasol bros, Ricky Rubio, Doncic...).

When it comes to adult made-players.... well...

I think some NBA scouters should give a look to Pierre Oriola (FCBarcelona. 27 years. 6'9").



He was the bench PF spot in last Spanish World Champion Team and he did so great that he became starter at the Final.

He's by no means a star but a role player and his 3p is barely decent but he's sturdy, smart, a very good teammate, knows the game....

...and he has a particular skill veeeery underrated at Europe but great for the NBA:

He's immune to mismatch

He can guard the 5 positions: Tall and strong enough to batter his ass against Bigs. Clever and mimble enough to hold his ground against guards.

In my opinion, he's an underrated jewel but I don't know if he prefers stay in Europe because I guess NBA would pay him less than FCBarcelona.



Anyway, I'll take a look to some Spanish Bball webpages and I'll let you know what young talents are driving some atention.

[Paradise]

We need a Donta Hall out there in the playoffs.

[MrDollarBills]

yeah....their size is really getting to us.

Marks needs to make sure that next season, we aren't hurting for bulk up front.

[Stone]

relentless effort by CLV, he wants this one

[MrDollarBills]

Its kind of crazy how easy the game looks for LeVert right now.

He is dominant from the mid range. There is no way in hell this is a fluke.
