Around the NBA (and other Sports), 2023-24, Part 4: Son of daughter of nephew of Around the NBA thread

[Triple7]

Yeah, but JT getting a year older and getting closer to having a fully developed NBA body trumps all other things that happens to other teams.

Right now JT is more puppy than adult dawg.

As long as the Cs have the Jays, KP, and White, Cs will always be in the hunt.

Right now Ant has something that JT doesn't, an NBA body.

It's true that JT is still a little soft.

That will be fixed after 1 or 2 years.

JT is 26. That’s a grown ass man. Tf you talking about. Deuce is almost a teenager, and you keep talking like JT is some child. Stop it man! Lol
You have this weird obsession with JT’s body, always brings this up. Just stop already!

It's just facts, man.

Not all people are created equal.

Some are late bloomers.

Lol. Just stop already. Ewww!

[BRUNiNHO91]

Losing to either of these teams would be disgraceful

The amount of wide open three’s the Knicks have given up to Nesmith and Nembhard so far is shameful lol best part is both guys haven't made a single **** one lmao

Awful.

Hali is a fraud

Some of you guys keep saying he's soft.

That's partially true.

When JT gets contact, he gets off balanced.

That's from lack of strength.

Look at JB, when JB makes contact, the defender is the one who falls back.

It's just a little tweak that has a big effect.

Excel on the defensive glass and you can put the Knicks away early

[Celts17Pride]

Haliburton is equivalent to a scarecrow on defense

[Fierce1]

McBride really found his groom!

[BK_2020]

Rick Carlisle would be really beloved by a lot of traditionalist posters.
1. His star point guard never shoots because he's a point guard duh.
2. They just run around and pass back and forth without a plan until someone randomly decides to shoot.
3. Because of 2 they never ISO to attack mismatches.
4. Their Payton Pritchard takes 70% of their shots whenever he's on the floor.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

As decent as Nesmith’s development has been, it means nothing if his 3 goes missing under pressure. In Boston he had pressure to perform and his 3 would go missing, same these playoffs. His effort is great, his on ball defense is admirable but off ball is not great. He’s frantic in both body and mind. If the game slows down for him there is a lot to like. Time will tell and I hope it does.

Pretty sure they have attacked mismatches with Siakam the entire game. Haliburton just hit his last three on a iso with Hartenstein. They are getting wide open three’s by attacking the paint everytime. Rick is a great coach.

Brunson 5 pts, 2-9, 0 rebounds and 1 ast.

Gross.

Brunson 5 pts, 2-9, 0 rebounds and 1 ast.

Gross.

Just shows that he's human.

He already has 5 40-point games in this year's playoffs.

That's something MJ does back in the day.

[zoyathedestroya]

Brunson has been a stinking pile of poop in this half. Without Donte and Miles, Knicks would've been down 20+.

[playa-hater]

With Aaron nesmith not in foul trouble has been free to be aggressive on defense and he is mostly responsible for Brunson missing 9 straight shots.

I love dawgs...

Edit..10 straight

[Celts17Pride]

Pacers are such a dumb team

That's something MJ does back in the day.

He takes like 30-35 shots anytime he puts up 40. There are 15 people in the playoffs that can score 40 when they shoot that much.

Tatum took 25 shots twice so far in the playoffs. Edwards has taken 29 once. Luka 26 a few times. Nobody shoots the ball 30 times like this **** guy.

He continues to look like a guy we could really use. Mucks it up, brings energy, shoots 3s. Like Hauser with more athleticism and hopped up on Mountain Dew.

Though we needed to give up something you get Brogdon and need Brogdon to get Drew. He seems like a solid pick by Ainge though.

Bro averages 27 FGA per game.

Nothing like Hauser.

23-24 Playoff 3%
Nesmith: 29.8
Hauser: 44.1

The Knicks are not a really good shooting team, the key to beating the Knicks is to keep them off the offensive glass
