Around the NBA - 2024-25 Season Continued Again

[K_ick_God]

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?

Bc they burned a win for no reason at all

… and you don’t seem to be “betting on” Karl Anthony Mr. Hippo Krit

[K_ick_God]

Laughable to say it’s one bad game

He’s been a playoff disaster with a capital D

Might already been posted but I've been off and am too lazy to catch up. But wanted to shout out this type of energy. Nothing but respect for this

:lol: my brother is lost. It’s still all love KG.

Kissing up to admin and fighting for randles honor all day.

Lock in mf we got a must win game today

I won’t litter the GT anymore but Begley landed another uppercut on melo while he was lying on the mat …

The starting unit is now -68 or whatever in the playoffs but KAT is only 1 point negative on / off net

So, ergo, KAT seems to be outperforming his fellow starters and maybe is even the best starter … since I know Mikal and 0g-IV have trash numbers

Don’t keep hitting melo when he’s down … with his own statistics no less! Get that man an ambulance!

Better than sitting Shiva over the Knicks

To be fair OG and Mikal both had good regular season on / off net net

They’re out of steam and 0g is just a half season player

And did the Knicks dirty

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.

.

In game 6 Tatum didn't play. I assume you're trolling at this point.

Very good first half tonight by OG as well

Yes he did. He was hurt at the end of G6

With fans like us, no wonder the Knicks are the equivalent of throwing games

Hurt game 4. Boston won 5 at home without him. We won game 6

Okay you’re right

So Tatum was going around OG like he wasn’t there in G4

The Knicks have given me mild dementia

Tonight Siakam is abusing them ... All because they willingly tossed a game

KAT -20 tonight and OG +5. This is all your fault

[Chanel Bomber]

Towns has been better than OG and Bridges overall in the postseason.

But of course it's difficult to notice if you take all the positives for granted (elite floor spacing, elite scoring efficiency on most nights, elite rebounding, generally passable defensively on switches) and only focus on the negatives (mostly defensively, terrible in drop and awful with help defense).

There are some legitimate questions about our ability to build a championship team around Brunson and KAT.

But he has contributed to our first ECF run 25 years. And he has performed better despite all his flaws than our expensive wings in the playoffs.

Our expensive wings are our 3rd and 4th options offensively and are tasked with compensating for 2 below average defenders. I don’t think are the problem when the Pacers are hurting Brunson and KAT on defense.

I think they are an issue because they provide very little offensively, and while they are good defenders, I don't think either has played at an elite level defensively. Is it about fatigue? I don't know, but I'm not seeing All-Defensive impact like I do when I watch Caruso or Draymond play.

OG and Mikal have limited roles on offense, yet they've been incredibly inefficient in the playoffs as scorers (53.2 and 51.7 TS% respectively), their 3-point shooting has been mediocre (35.1 and 32.4 3FG%), and they're of course not providing much in terms of playmaking.

You contrast that with Nesmith and Nembhard, and the Pacers have gotten a lot more from their wings in the playoffs offensively, while getting comparable defensive impact from them.

I don't know how you cannot see them as being part of the problem when we're getting such average contributions from them overall.

We are all probably over-reacting; Nothing 4 straight wins won't solve.

Great start by Minny. Nice to see that both series in the conference finals won't be a sweep.
