Flagrant 1 I hope. Draymond is so dirty. The worst thing is if they lose here he'll be yukking it up and trashing players with Shaq and Chuck
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

This. There isn't a stretch C who can shoot threes for every team in the league, let alone having two. Who has two now? Boston I guess

Like I've been saying, these streaky 3 point shooters that don't do much else annoy you in the regular season but every team needs these guys on their roster that can catch fire and be the difference in a game and sometimes even the series.

We see a ton in the draft now. Stretch ability is a huge emphasis on guys like Queen, Maluach, Wolf, Newell and most of them.

And GSW were smart...kept feeding him after he made a few and his confidence just kept growing. Nothing worse than icing your own guy because "well I have not shot in awhile".

It's funny, for years this board talked about how a different scrub would kill the Raps with threes every game. Now after a year and a half on the Knicks board, posters there are always saying the same thing, a random bench guy going crazy from three against the Knicks. And it feels true. Must be a Nurse and Thibs thing.

GS up and Curry has been cold. Jalen Green only 11 minutes been garbage. Hou can really use him but he's not that player.

I don't know the college guys. Can they all shoot threes and protect the rim and be switchy like you said? How many are in the league now?

Re: Official NBA General Discussion 2024-25 V2.0
That's Nurse's whole defensive scheme. To double team their best player and always leave their worst shooter open. Then scramble to close out. It's exhausting and when a role player gets hot shooting they have no other game plan to adjust. Rinse repeat. God I'm so happy that nurse is gone, such an overrated coach that people were fawning over. Absolutely nauseating.WaltFrazier wrote:PushDaRock wrote:Like I've been saying, these streaky 3 point shooters that don't do much else annoy you in the regular season but every team needs these guys on their roster that can catch fire and be the difference in a game and sometimes even the series.

Thibs scheme also gives up threes, by focusing on protecting the paint. Different focus but same result.
