Re: Around the League: 2024-25 Season
Malik Beasley with the Gary Trent. What a series though.
Gotta say the Knicks trading all of those picks this offseason to still just have one guy that can handle the ball doesn't feel great. We'll see how that works out against the Celtics... I hope it does, but not feeling great about it.

I’m actually curious to see if the Knicks can hold the Celtics to shooting 29 3s a game. I really want to know where our defense stack up.

It all tops off with one of the greatest foul-merchant flopper oj Brunson. Dude is in the mt.rushmore with Harden Embiid Divac etc etc

I don't think so either, but you never know. That offense is ugly. Brunson is awesome, but the other guys just stand around and watch and look scared to dribble, they look so easy to guard right now.
Believe the Celtics went 4-0 against them this year

I agree it will be interesting, wonder if we laid some sort of framework for limiting their 3s. It may take the Thunder to be able to match it though.

Re: Around the League: 2024-25 Season
Westbrook lost the Nuggets the game tonight. He blew an open fast break dunk and layup, got blocked by Batum on a break, and missed 2 wide open 3’s. Big time choke job from him.

He missed dunk and two layups in span of 10 min
but i think Braun also blew up layup in 3rd or 4th quarter?
Clippers gave their best to lose this one as they killed own momentum trying to drain shot clock.
Batum with 2 huge blocks.

Re: Around the League: 2024-25 Season
Cade does a way better job of finding shooters in the corners than Franz or Paolo does.

Cade is PG.
That was his selling point all along. Guy averages 9,1 apg / 9,0 apg in Playoffs.
Franz and Paolo are force fed into "point forwards" that neither feels that comfortable playing full time.

Paolo and Franz look off shooters in the corners. Cade throws the pass to them every time they're open. The corner 3 is the best shot in basketball.pepe1991 wrote:basketballRob wrote:Cade does a way better job of finding shooters in the corners than Franz or Paolo does.

You really wanted more attempts at this percentage? If such aces as JI or AB have to shoot from the corner, I'd rather removed that play completely...

Re: Around the League: 2024-25 Season
FVV doing a great job of rubbing salt in the wound of keeping Fultz over adding him. Carrying Houston towards a potential game 7 right now.
Probs my 2nd biggest whiff on a take only after preferring Okafor over Dwight.
