NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 4

Not a fan of DeRozan. He provides no spacing, drives the air out of the ball, relies too much on the refs and is a weak defender. Beal is clearly better, at least this season.

Beal is clearly better....at what? I love Beal and I think Beal will get there...but Derozen is a MONSTER offensively and Beal cant "dribble" well enough yet.

DeRozan is not even remotely a monster. He can't shoot 3s and is nothing more than a 1 dimensional iso player that isn't efficient when he doesn't get the calls.

CC = Smart enough not to debate stats about a player I watched primarily on ESPN highlights, the wiz/raptor games and the other few Nationally televised games.

Boston has three guys who I GREATLY misjudged at draft time.

Tyler Zeller, Kelly Olynyk, and Marcus Smart

When Zeller was at UNC, I thought his speed would make him a good pro. (Wrong!) He's a meh player.

Olynyk put up a monster PER at Gonzaga. I recall hoping the Wizards would trade down for Olynyk. I thought Porter would be a good fit style-wise; but I thought Olynynk would be a special player. (Really wrong!) Olynyk is a bit of a stiff.

Back when I was still hating on Wall (Wrong big time!) I thought Marcus Smart would be a good pro. He's the biggest disappointment to me. He's at best a Dudley Bradley-type journeyman.

LOL. The celtics went on a run when the Bulls were up 10 and when the dust settled the Bulls were up by 13...

Oh you mean 4 players...no one thought IT would be in the MVP conversation. Dudes on his 3rd team

Michael Carter Williams once again does something stupid and cost his team 2 points just based on basketball IQ...

[Induveca]

Hoiberg seemed to quickly figure out that Jerian Grant is a disaster. That guy is so out of control/nervous.

Yeah, but I'd let him play through it. MCW is utter garbage. Grant can at least hit open 3s.

Bulls might want to break out their brooms in Chicago.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

The Bulls look like a tough playoff opponent, should the Wizards get past the Hawks.

[pineappleheadindc]

It's over for Boston. They can't win 4 out of the next 5 games, 3 of which are in Chicago.

[mhd]

The refs are trying to get the Celtics this win. Thomas has more FT attempts than EVERYONE on the Bulls combined.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Stick a fork in Al Horford. Dude's done. He's just an okay player if that now.

[AFM]

Wow, BOS could get swept!

[pineappleheadindc]

Wade shooting dagger after dagger.

Agreed. Appears Rondo and Wade are playing for their legacy. Playing like all stars.

[nate33]

7-0 run by the Celtics. It might not be over yet.

[pineappleheadindc]

Given the FT disparity, any Celtic player or fan complaining about the refs should be doused with chicken fat.

[pineappleheadindc]

I'd draw something up for Wade coming out of this timeout.

[nate33]

Now it's over.

[Induveca]

Rondo's stat line is amazing
