NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 5

If I were the Bucks, I'd trade Jrue (if I could) for Wall. John can hit open 3s, and he'd be a super upgrade as a PG over Jrue. I doubt Houston would be willing to take on Jrue and his contract though. John never crumbled under pressure like this.

Did you really believe this even before it aged poorly?

Joe Harris just did his best Davis Bertans impression.

[Kanyewest]

Steve Nash tight rotations eventually didn't work as KD looked to tired to get away good shots in OT even with PJ Tucker fouled out of the game.

Nets had so many wasted possessions with Harden dribbling down the **** clock trying to draw fouls.

Bucks responded well. I didn’t have much faith in them

Holiday made a couple of shots in the 4th, but he was god awful the whole series. The Bucks do need a real PG who can manipulate a defense. John's passing is on a whole other level. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world (especially after Holiday's ridiculous extension).

Yup. Even though KD hits the shot for OT (so close to being the gw shot),
I think he was both physically and mentally fatigued in OT.
Airballing that last shot was the price paid for playing the whole game.

PS, I never meant to suggest Giannis wasn’t >>> Simmons.
Simmons should learn from Giannis about getting to rim
or into the paint. Embiid’s range should allow him not
to a spacing killer. That said, Giannis bails out the D
(in majority of cases) anytime he shoots a 3.

Devin Booker is a better player than Bradley Beal.

[9 and 20]

Devin Booker is a better player than Bradley Beal.

Booker vs. Trae Young would be awesome in the finals. Two great young guards.

But Beal is still better than Booker, imo.

[FAH1223]

Devin Booker is a better player than Bradley Beal.

Nah. Brad is the better player. I think if he was on the Suns he'd be putting up similar numbers.

Booker though has stepped it up in the postseason.

Booker clearly has better teammates. And coaching. All hail PGC’s
Monty Williams.

Pride of Oxon Hill, Maryland. Although I went to rival Friendly HS, Where I grew up in Fort Washington used to be called Oxon Hill, Maryland,

I remember when they changed the ZIP Code from 20022 to 20744.

Maybe Beal without Russell could put up similar numbers but the Beal i saw against Philadelphia didn’t rebound, pass well, or compete as hard or well.

Check this out. They are crucifying Ben Simmons on the General Board.

Who do they realistically trade him for?

Westbrook?

Ben Simmons and Mike Scott for Westbrook works in the trade machine.

Philly Atl game is a blood bath man. So this is what defense looks like. I’d forgotten, having watched the Wiz over the last five years.

Simmons is the worst contract in the league. He's mentally toast. He's unplayable in the playoffs.

He stinks. And he’s gotten worse every year he’s been in the league. I’ll never understand why anyone thought he was worth that contract or an all star.

I’m hope Brad does not want him here.

I would trade Westbrook for Simmons in a New York minute. Wizards would probably have to sweeten that one though.

Abso-freaking-lutely.

With the right coach who could utilize Simmons properly, that would be the move that helps change the trajectory of this franchise.

I would too.

Problem is, though Simmons’ value has waned, Morey’s not a moron

[trast66]

Russell Westbrook in his 50s will be a better player than Ben Simmons is right now.
