Around the NBA - 2024-25 Season Continued Again

[sol537]

WNBA Finals should be Liberty vs. Lynx again... both are super teams... rematch would be nice.

Whoo boy.

Gonna interrupt the Randle debate briefly (I thought there was a thread for this ) to give anyone who may wanna check some women's hoops: our World Champion NY Liberty face off against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever tomorrow at 1pm on CBS. This is a big time match up as the Liberty look unstoppable and the Fever are much improved from last year.

The Lynx are the only team I'm scared of. Napheesa Collier is a beast. We barely beat them last year.

Yo!!! Thanks KG I've been a regular on the W board for the last 2 years I had no idea there was a dedicated section. Gonna dive in.

(I hope I'm not derailing, I just wanna get some of the fellas here to give Liberty hoops a chance. We gotta SQUAD)

It’s nasty work. We even have people hating on OG too when he was great defensively on Tatum in the last round. Held Tatum to 5-17 FG.

I saw Tatum going aroung 0goM like he wasn't even there

They set a screen on OG to get him off Tatum almost every time.

In G6, I remember him beating him every time in the second half. With ease. Basically one dribble and he was lost.

OMG. 0g might be the most overrated Knick ever. You guys are so insane to overlook what he did in G1.

You'll never get any better product if this is what you see. Just rose-colored glasses. OG played like an absolute joke.

If my 5th grader did the things he did in the last game, I'd be appalled.

And Mitch. The guy obviously doesn't take it seriously. He is like the walking embodiment of someone who thought the game was over, the dumbass coach puts him back in the game, and he is smirking and standing there as guys cut and Obi dunks. A total joke. So if that's what you choose to accept, then you guys are also jumping off a bridge with the team.

No I'm glad you jumped in. You basically called a TKO on melo, which he badly needed.

Yeah the new section was launched recently I believe.

Randle negative -7 net rating on the regular season.

Karl positive +6 net rating on the regular season.

A whopping 13 points separate Karl from Randle ... ooooh feel that burn.

The most hilarious part about it is that KG can’t comprehend the stats he’s posting. It says the Timberwolves had a +3.6 net rating with Randle on the court in the regular season, not negative. My guy is truly lost

[Reign23]

well damn.

True but 7 better with him out!

Yo comprendo perfecctamente

He’s 7 worse than the Wolves do when he’s not playing

Called a net net

So Randle is much better in the playoffs than KAT when the games really count is what your saying then right?

No because his game is streaky and he feasted on back to back bad opponents

KAT has been less effective than he was in the regular season but has had a good, not great, playoffs

He’s also hurt and played Boston and Indiana

Wolves had an absolute joke of a cakewalk and are getting their asses handed to them now so whatever

Who are you to be quoting advanced Stats when you keep talking about OG and he’s like -30 every game

[K_ick_God]

Even your numbers in the playoffs melo show KAT is a net -1 and small change so far

He was +9 in the biggest game the Knicks have played in many years a couple days ago …. A game that your guy 0g and your coach Fibs shredded right in front of you, ate it and then vomited up a surefire series defeat … after one of the most inexcusable and shameful and unlikely collapses in the history of the world of sports in this universe, and probably the Multiverse

But if you want, I’ll knock a point off so you lose by 12 instead of 13

Lakers, Warriors or Celtics, Pacers ….. hmmm which teams are better I wonder. Tough one!

Ah yes. Draymond green and jimmy butler who were matched up with Randle are very awful players. And LeBron who averaged 24/8/8 is garbage. but KAT struggling against Tobias Harris is way more impressive!

Okay he had a good two series, no matter who he played

A good first half of G1 of the WCF before disappearing as his team got blown out

Happy lol?

He was a net net negative for the Wolves this season over 70+ games and KAT was positive …. A distance of 13 whole points separated them

If Randle wins the WCF or plays well, I’ll say so. But you won’t about KAT and that’s okay. Be a baby lol. The Knicks series is over anyway so ….

You’ve been pretty soundly defeated. But keep holding on to two playoff series and one half of one game

Randle before this year was the worst playoff player like ever in the history of basketball … something like 30% from the field

A couple series don't change that. KAT has been shaky at times too. But he’s much better than Randle and has been for the whole season — by a lot a LOT

So there. And the chances that he recovers and helps the Wolves win this series or doesn’t turn in more clunkers …. Good luck with all that! And good luck betting on Thibs and OgIV!

lol

You’re holding on to one bad game from the wcf to run a victory lap sorry kg but the metrics say Randle has been much much better than KAT on both ends in the playoffs. It’s a fact that can’t be debated.

And yes i am betting on Thibs and OG cause I’m a Knicks fan. Why aren’t you?
