AD punishing the Warriors for going small against him. Need that mentality all year. I think Rondo really helps him there because he's always looking for him.

Westbrook not looking good so far

Westbrook looks like the worst player on the floor which is filled with mostly backups

Lmao at GS electing to double a Melo midrange jumper.

Healthy, aggressive AD is a special sight

GSP · Post #2207 » by **GSP** » Wed Oct 20, 2021 2:44 am

The point of attack defense might be alot worse without Caruso, Kcp and even Wes, Schroder. Danny from the 20 team too.

These guards are gonna get torched defensively. Theyll need Ad to live up to his defensive potential and Bron to backline the defense with help close to Miami levels for them to be the same elite top 5 defense of the past 2 years IMO

Why in the world are we playing Rondo and Russ at the same time

Rather Reeves even be out there

It feels like the Lakers are outplaying the Warriors by a noticable margin but its a 2pt game.....

when you have an elite defense its the other way around

Westbrook looks like he has no idea why he's even on the team. Pretty concerning.

Lebron's jumper looks absolutely on point.

'Melo is too much of a ball stopper. Don't like how he plays.

Sadly yes

Russ should do a good job when locked in, but need to see it

Bazemore is similar to AC in that he is pretty versatile, but not as good

I like his size though

Nunn is a worse version of KCP, but he should be an ok chaser

Monk/Wayne is the worry

THT is the x factor

Can be really good on D if he locks in and gets better off ball

Post #2214 » by **zimpy27** » Wed Oct 20, 2021 2:52 am

Melo not letting Monk take a shot

If Russ cant figure it out by Dec....

In this game, it’s 2020 Bron and bubble AD, but every other player is replacement level bad. Imagine Green or Caruso or KCP out there instead of the detritus that’s currently there; they need to bring Bazemore back. AD and Bron will have to play major minutes for them to win games, and it’s obvious with these absolute scrubs out there.

Could've just gotten Hield

homecourtloss · Post #2218 » by **homecourtloss** » Wed Oct 20, 2021 2:59 am

Melo and Russ are absolutely awful. At least Russ defended well. For Melo to be useful at all he’s got to be hitting a bunch of threes.

Yeah I dislike Melo on this team. Russ seems bad but he's trying to make the team better,

Hmm Hield, Kcp, AC, and our 1st or Russ and a few of these replaceable guys

AC, Hield, Bazemore, Lebron, AD
Nunn, KCP, THT, Ariza, Dwight
Rondo, Monk/Wayne?, Rookie?

Damn
