I’ve always enjoyed him, back to his interviews with Jim Rome from the 90s, to his comments on the Heat after 2011 when he first joined TNT.
Once in awhile it seems like he has an esoteric approach that most people then interpret as a stupid take, but all in all he’s great.

He's a good analyst, just not a good color analyst. He's one of the most thoughtful and insightful people in network NBA coverage, but his talents are being wasted in a format that doesn't work for him. That's all I'm saying.

It's one thing to say his game is trash or he's not entertaining but to say "he has no skillset" is an #NTExtreme. And even if you somehow proved "he has no skillset" then that would have to make him the most dominant person to ever pick up a basketball if he's putting up those numbers with "no skillset".

They are pretty incredible defensively. Another ball handler and shot maker would be nice though. Someone like, say.....Malcolm Brogdon.

They were on a treadmill for a WHILE before he developed and they’re headed right back when he leaves. Pace and space era and you have $80Ms invested in a guy at the 1 who can’t shoot 3s and isn’t Russ or Prime Wade with the ball

Hoops might be the worst show on Netflix. I was excited for an animated basketball comedy but goddamn it's bad. It's "I can't believe people were paid to make this" bad.

A 7 footer that can initiate the break, has great vision and elite footwork isn’t skilled?

His skill set is limited. It works because he’s given the leeway to do so
Handle still kinda shaky, jumper bad, FT shooting still leaves a lot to be desired.
If he can’t get downhill, it isn’t much he can do

the only other 7 footer with a better handle on the history of the game is Durant.
he can play both sides of the PNR. Like I understand y’all want him to be a 3 but as soon as he starts closing the games at the 5 and gets shooting, faces will be washed.
did y’all just see Bledsoe turn down an open 3?

Just might be. Especially at a wing position

I don’t think he’s a 3. He’s a 5 for sure but his handle still shaky.
I don’t think his footwork in the post is “elite”, he drags that pivot a lot lol it’s scary because he still has definite room for improvement even with his limited skill set
If you can limit YawnKnees the same way you can limit Croc Rondo, that’s says something about your skill set

Eric Bledsoe is still nice when he wants to be. He has these bursts where he looks great but they are few and far between. Not worth the investment.

Footwork isn’t limited to the post. His footwork in traffic off the dribble is top tier. I’m not even going to entertain comparing him to crocodile rondo.

Somebody owed someone a favor. That explains a lot of the crap that's out there.

But...he will get downhill. 95% of the time
Point being there’s still areas in his game to improve upon. Scary if he actually does make those improvements

Wonder if all the coaches have been briefed that they will be asked a social justice question at their end of qtr interview. Clifford looked like he was ready to get out of there on the second question And down in an elimination game.

I gave this Bucks team 2 wins against the Clippers, but I’d be surprised if they were able to get 1. Just not enough talent.
