When Duncan gets out of this slump and Lowry finds his shot, this is going to be a dangerous team. And then we add Dipo
Just saw a stat about his year so far and not looking good for him. So glad they got rid of the bullshit calls him and Trae Young have lived off of. This series of plays cracked me up.
I try not to talk too much shit because it used to aggravate the shit out of me to watch Wade take advantage of that rule. Harden is obviously the world's worst about it. Trae has at least adapted and is putting up good numbers in spite of it so far. But fuck Harden in general.
Riles going to mess around an get vindicated for not trading everything for him if he doesn't learn to play with the new rules.
Wade was an early innovator of the move but the shit Harden and Trae were doing made them unwatchable
Harden's little bitch kick out to get the fouls could do more harm to other players than him so he can go to the line. Fuck Harden, was never into trading Herro for him. Unless I was being reactionary after a single game now and then
look at this fookin guy. He spent all last season trashin Riley for not trading Herro for Harden now he finally acknowledges we were never in position to really get Harden. You still a little rough around the edges but this new alt is warming up to Riley, maybe we'll get a Spo compliment in the future.
Duncan is unplayable if he's not making shots. Strus is nowhere near as prolific but he's more athletic and a better defender, so he's logical next Tyler in these spots
I hate to admit it but he’s right about Duncan being unplayable especially with Herro if he’s not making his shot. Those minutes should go to Strus. I assume Tuck was banged up since he didn’t come back in in the second half
Oh I love Strus and he’s a better defender and athlete but it’s hard to bench Duncan and the gravity he brings offensively in general though I’ve never liked Tyler and Dunc on the court at the same time lol
Duncan is still a threat because he will always have the green light to shoot even if he misses 7 in a row
And it’s just hilarious that we have struggled offensively and it doesn’t matter because this is the best defense in the league right now. and jimmy gets buckets when needed, with Bam being aggressive as fuck this season
No one is saying bench Duncan but our best lineup four active defenders that allow us to switch everything and either Dunc or Herro. Atleast until Duncan can start knocking down threes to make up for some of the points either him or Tyler will assuredly give up The first part of the conversation is the Nets game. You can literally figure out when Spo has Dunc and Herro in the game at the same time just by how fast our lead deteriorates lol. Hopefully he’s seen enough of it just like we have.
Oh Im not accusing anyone of saying to bench Duncan, I'm just saying in general. Not sure what we do, but we did pay the man and honestly I think I did hear a great reason on the Miami Heat Beat where he's such a moving shooter with all the DHOs last 2 years and now he doesn't need to do it so he just needs to adjust and get into rhythm. Maybe that's true or it's not but it makes sense.. I wonder if you're standing too still you end up thinking too much? Because he hits off handoffs and moving in general.. Either way, I'm just not going to get upset 5 games in and he's not the only one who needs to get into rhythm. I love great defense personally so this team is wonderful lol I wish we had PJ in the bubble lol
and speaking of PJ, if you haven't watched/listened to this interview you should. PJ is awesome and happy for him with what he's went through and I hope he also gets a 'ship with Miami.
He definitely has a issue with stand still shooting. I used to say it last year Dunc might be the worst wide open 3 pt shooter for an elite 3 pt shooter I’ve ever seen which is wild because dude makes so many contested shots. It’s like a wr that makes crazy highlight catches but will drop the dump off passes that hits him in the hands. He’s still pulls guys away from the basket which is a plus and he works so well with that first unit defensively that I doesn’t matter much that he’s not hitting. But it will really be nice if he could become the shooter we know he’s capable of being because it will take this offense to another level.
Honestly im 30 minutes in and nothing.. but it's a great moment where apparently JJ and PJ cross paths in a hotel and PJ tells him "I thought I was being traded to the Heat" last year
I hope Duncan and Kyle find their shooting so when it comes to closing Duncan will never be in the closing lineup and we just shut dudes down
yeah I skimmed through and he talked about the beginning of his career, overseas, the bucks and then JJ/PJ playing against each other in college and HS
literally just the last three minutes. after the ad starting at 59 talks about the makeup of the team and how much he's heard about heat culture since he's been on the team
Man... it's still so early in the season but Butler is playing amazing, Strus is a beast and we're shutting dudes down. No Bam and we're still shutting Ja and co down and on back to back nights, this is wonderful to see
