By Kibner Go To PostMorrow is near unplayable due to his defense and inability to do anything other than shoot spot-up 3s. He's not a cutter, he doesn't run off screens, he can't pull-up, not a good passer, etc. He's basically a stationary 3pt shooting turret.
a lot of guys can't defend for shit off the bench at the guard spots--either that or they can't do shit on offense, take your pick, it's why they are bench players
but the bulls spent an entire half not being able to shoot for shit while having open look after open look--and they have the tools to hide a shooter like Morrow for stretches
I know Rondo can't shoot but Hoiberg is a fool for letting shit go down like this late with terribad points facing a full court press
By IWMTB19 Go To PostWhat a terrible pass, omg.Cause they're terrible? I mean they're the 8th best team in the east. I'm pretty sure Ron Bakers Knicks would give them a run for their money.
How did the Bulls almost blow this.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostThe bulls didn't even play well and won thatA lot of turnovers for the Bulls, Wade was mostly silent for the majority of the game, stupid fouls.
if the Rockets defensive coaches have any say at all Westbrook is going to run into guys camped in the paint and roberson will be forced to shoot ten threes from being wide open all night

That has been the plan it seems.
Roberson is making all of his threes because of the smoke though.

Kraft Money conversion.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posta lot of guys can't defend for shit off the bench at the guard spots–either that or they can't do shit on offense, take your pick, it's why they are bench playersIt's not just that he can't defend, it's also that he can't do anything but be a spot-up shooter. He won't force mistakes by the defense and his ability to punish mistakes is highly limited in variety, making him easy to defend.

we're talking about Wade/Rondo/Butler
they needed a spot up shooter like a man in the desert needs water
Roberson stole Harden's shooting ability it seems.
Going from the end of the Celtics broadcast to this, I thought something was wrong with my feed.

pro tip: Lou Will is as reliably bad in the post season as Kyle Lowry
you heard it here first
Can't believe Nene still has this much left in him though. Thought he was dead.

By butt Go To PostI think nurk could realistically change the geometry of the court for the better, but it's pretty clear vonleh, moe, aminu, meyers, etc aren't quite ready for this stage. I'm not sure why you're always such a cunt whenever anybody mentions the blazers. It can't be THAT fun to rile reilo up, can it?I just disagree with most of reilo's "wrote" obvious replies. Which apparently makes me a cunt.
Nurkic would Change the game. But there's nothing to say it would be for Portlands benefit. Their best bet, much like houstons, is to just try and out gun them from range and hope someone is on fire at all times.
Also, that Boston / Chicago game was weird as fk. Didn't look like either team really showed up.
Also points out the Celtics biggest glaring flaw, that has been there for 2 or 3 seasons. They lack alternate options. Still.

By giririsss Go To PostI just disagree with most of reilo's "wrote" obvious replies. Which apparently makes me a cunt.So what you're saying is today was their best bet and they still lost by double figures?

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postif OKC makes this a long series
whew, Gondo gonna give yall that werk
It's all because of Lil B, the Based God's Curse. Harden just wouldn't apologize.
The curse is in full effect. It's a lose-lose situation either way.

Felt like preseason until the second half
By giririsss Go To PostI just disagree with most of reilo's "wrote" obvious replies. Which apparently makes me a cunt.Wait. Portland would be worse with Nurkic playing?

lmao
By reilo Go To PostWait. Portland would be worse with Nurkic playing?He doesn't change anything.
lmao
Which is what i said.
Good start. Have to tighten up the paint on D but that's probably a conscious decision to limit their opportunities from 3.
This game has been right where the Thunder want it. Scrappy. Their defense is holding and dictating the pace.
You just get the feeling that when houston go on a run, they just won't be able to respond.

I hate that foul call.
But you call it for Russ, you call it for Harden.
It's still a dumb foul to call.
