Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

so bron is making 1.7 a game.

And dues trying to argue with me that he's a legit 3 pt shooter and should have the neon green? How now brown cow?

I'll definitely close out on him and not force him into a 3 . Just seems like something he improved on or it could be that one outlier year.

Durant only making 1.9 a game on more attempts.

bron is damn near 60% from within the three point line, and is probably even more efficient on attempts right at the rim. so i'd be more than willing to take my chances on bron taking an uncontested three rather than letting him drive, crab dribble, take another 4.5 steps, and then get a lay up and an and-one.

exactly. You have a way greater chance of a miss letting him shoot over letting him drop that shoulder, get away with a push off, a charge and travel 3 piece combo and still scoring on you and getting the and-1.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Which is easier for the average nter, scoring on iguodala or locking up Lebron?

I think most are going to say scoring on Iggy

 

[tyevvyotcu]

bron is actually at 37% and the lowest of all the shooters on the team, outside of JR, whose current pct is down due to lack of games.

37% aint poppin b

the difference is that outside of kyrie, none of those other guys can create looks for themselves

Of course you don't want him having an open lane to the basket. But, watching him take uncontested 3's all game is not smart when the guy is shooting 37% from 3. Simply replacing Lebron with KD's name and the statement looks even more silly. Since KD is a 37% 3 point shooter, you're going to use the same strategy against him? He's shooting 78% from 0-3 ft and 60% in all 2 pointers.

Don't get smacked like homie did in Lansing. Draymond puts cats like you through school

crine

Nah.

I don't expect you to watch high quality basketball when you're so use to the Blazers anyways

Scoring on Iggy. You can get lucky and chuck one up and have it go in. You can't really get lucky on defense unless Bron loses the ball on his own.

reaching with that kd scenario. This is kd bro. He's having a 'down' season. Bron is having an 'up' season at 37%. Don't forget he shoot 26.4% just this time last yr.

 

[illicit305]

they can both shoot

What about Isaiah? He's shooting 37% from the 3. Paul George?

Whether he's having an up season or not, teams are going to close out on him because they respect it. Teams weren't respecting Marc shooting the 3 until about 25 games in and he was shooting 40%+. And this is an "up" year for Marc

 

[tyevvyotcu]

he's had two seasons above 36% in miami
and is 34% for his career
not sure why you're using last season like that wasn't a down year

that's what I'm saying. Not all percentages are created equal. A 37% for kd is not the same as a 37% for bron. KD has ALWAYS be a better shooter. And one that can turn it on at a moments notice. Brons 3s have typically always come when he's locked in and in a strong rhythm. His miami days he was awesome from 3. 2013 in particular.

 

[Peep Game]

Chuck's rant agaisnt the NBA charging $6.99 for Bucks/Lakers

such a perfect reaction for that game

 

[tyevvyotcu]

f boy

you're a cornball dawg. I didn't see it before, despite everybody saying it.

We're talking about him jacking shots over not jacking shots. You're coming out of left field talking about who can and cannot create their own shots. swallow your spit.

the point was that of course he's going to shoot more attempts if nobody else can create
not sure what's hard to comprehend
hold the L my g

 

[tyevvyotcu]

you're literally reaching further with every post
"37% from 3 isn't good"
like what are you talking about lmao

but you're only as good as your last shot though, no? You're using miami has a key in your argument? That was 3-4 yrs ago.

34% is good? in your opinion?

 

[captaintuxable]

iggy easily. aint nobody on this board locking bron. Dude would legit break somebody ribs.

Man, there might be some 6'9 250 dudes lurking.  In transition, no way, but in a half-court set, it might be possible to make dude miss once. If his coach could do it, there's a chance.

isn't that average?
I understand what you're saying but if he's making them at a high clip like he is this season, there shouldn't be an issue with him shooting them

 

[617collector]

In the losses this season....

23 n 10 in the 1st game (without Horford)
25 n 13 in the 3rd game (without Bradley)

And then this happened in Boston...... yup regular lock down defender Wall is

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

View media item 2327811

I wanna to see you call IT King of the 4th after we bounce y'all out of the playoffs. I see your already working on those excuses. We didn't have Horford, we didn't have Bradley. In Washington we don't care. Beat us in a 7 game series and I'll give IT his respek. Until then he's King of the Frauds.

The Celtics are my new Bulls.

We're the 2nd seed without our starting shooting guard. Take Beal off of Washington and they would drop to the 9th seed

But he surrounds himself with catch and shooters b. This is by choice. This isn't something that just happened. He drives, he kicks, he has success. It's how it's always been for him. Defenses haven't stopped it from working. Most games they get tons of wide open 3s strictly from making the extra pass. The shots he pulls most times are not in any type of offensive flow. Just deep 3s and step backs. It was very evident last night.

depends, how many extra steps will lebron get when we go 1-on-1?

if 6'9" dudes who live, eat, sleep and play basketball for a living in the NBA can't stop bron, absolutely no one on NT is going to stop him...unless he decided to shoot 3s.

Yep all that. Beat us 4 out of 7 this year. That's if you guys make it to round 2. I know Wall and his Wizards can do it. I haven't seen IT do it yet.

I mean, could probably make him miss once or twice, but him posting would kill my energy storage. I've guarded some big guys or got switched on picks on to guys about that size and I can give max effort and at least slow them, but it is insanely taxing.
