It’s a wrap if he starts consistently hitting pull-up jumpers off the dribble.

He doesn't have a single season where he has shot better than last year's Westbrook. He won't be hitting those 3s. He has occasional game where he shoots 3/4 then 5 games in row with 1/5.

If you tell me a lazy, low work ethic guy who struggles with his free throws yeah I'd believe. For such a dedicated, hard worker in Giannis, to not master shooting - one of the most basic skills of basketball at the age of 26, it's more likely not going to happen. Something you just don't have it in your no matter how hard you work for it.

If the Nets have to rely on Patty Mills going nuclear all year they are in big trouble.

People been saying he is going to have 3 point shot *this year* for last 3 seasons. It won't happen. He doesn't have good jump shooting form.

Uh, yeah, how did you?

Not everyone keeps a constant watch on the Brooklyn and LA retirement homes

You're posting on an nba basketball board obsessed with both. So that makes less than no sense.

They pretty much HAVE to make a trade for a decent big or they have no chance to win the title. Even the efficiency of Harden and KD can't hold up vs teams constantly getting opportunities at bunnies at the rim off offensive boards.

thats why i said they are no longer favorites. much older than bucks and yet not championship playoff experience. two out of 3 will be injured or unavailable. i proclaimed they could easily 3 peat but that was assuming they sweep in yr 1.

It's actually insane. I follow the league closely. Had my in-person fantasy draft just two days ago. :crazy:

Looking like the Miami Heat big three the first year, where they had washed up old vets passed their prime, and if the big three didn't score 60-75 pts between the three of them they weren't competitive. This is what you get, your stars got to produce on both ends, being down one superstar is gonna be felt if both durant/harden don't go supernova.

Joe Harris is still on last year’s milk carton. Good thing they got Mills

I like this Nwora guy.

Harden is the only Nets player playing well

JN61 · Post #114 » by **JN61** » Wed Oct 20, 2021 12:16 am

Bucks are looking good and Nets totally uninflated. I don't know if its just this game or if they have serious team synergy issues with Kyrie being what he is and a lot of these vets confused of their role.

Harris is so bad

Post #116 » by **cupcakesnake** » Wed Oct 20, 2021 12:17 am

Does Nwora make a specific point of taking a step back after every James Harden step back?

I always thought it would be hard when you don’t touch the ball. You just watch a guy dribble and shoot.

Giannis jumper is still an adventure

Doranku · Post #119 » by **Doranku** » Wed Oct 20, 2021 12:18 am

It would not be enjoyable playing with KD and Harden lol

Guess Bruce Brown is the odd man out and couldn't make Nash's 10 man rotation.

Who wins tonight?
