The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

the guard position is the hardest to defend. because every night you are going up against someone who is eithr really good, really fast, or crazy athletic. center and power forward position is easiest to defend, then small forward.

Defending guards - especially PGs - is also harder because you have to deal with being screened on a majority of possessions.

 

[dman14]

prime KG defense have it all

1-5 positions, anchor a defense, etc

 

[buc em]

Lillard

 

[pmatic]

tbh Nash sitting out the season is the best thing for the Lakers
They are able to move on and invest in better and younger PGs

You say that then you see them starting Ronnie Price.

 

[pmatic]

Prime Shawn Marion folks.

 

[youngwolf]

 

All

I don't know. LeBron had a pretty legit claim to that title, as will AD soon.

Nah.

Lebron is probably one of the most overrated perimeter defenders in the league.

Where he excels defensively is as a help defender.

Prime Shawn Marion folks.

 

[mister friendly]

Prime Kobe

 

[finallyfamous]

The Matrix was such a good sign.

 

[bilboshmangins]

shawn marion ain't guarding a center though...but yeah there was a reason shawn marion was the highest paid suns player ahead of steve and stat.

 

[bilboshmangins]

kobe wasn't guarding any power forwards. let alone centers.

 

[lawdog1]

Prime Scottie Pippen.

Prime JR Smith

JR Smith: "I'm not going to lie. Trying to think about the rest of the team over myself or my scoring is something that I never really had to do before."

 

[ballinsam23]

First Take's argument was Nash vs Iverson today. Nash had a prime Marion and Amare. Iverson had......

Really all about preference and Nash is a great player and all, but AI changed the culture. One of a kind.

I dont think he'd be able to lead that Sixers team to the Finals.

 

[pmatic]

And Nash changed the actual game play.

 

[offset pow clow]

Nash aint change ****

 

[lawdog1]

Clueless as JR is, it's really a testimony to his natural talent that he's lasted in the league as long as he has.

 

[MajinZuub]

AI>Nash.

Nash in general is underappreciated though, especially here.

 

[offset pow clow]

Clueless as JR is, it's really a testimony to his natural talent that he's lasted in the league as long as he has.

Jr's iq isnt as low as you think it is or he wouldve been beasley status right now

 

[xbiker47]

Prime JR Smith

YOLO JR

 

[sea manup]

Nash's work ethic, bball iq and sneaky athleticism is underrated

 

[T0INE]

I'm really digging this Player's Tribune website.

First Blake, now Kevin Love.

Funny thing about JR Smith having that mentality is that he's NEVER been a teams #1 option...since High School.

The fact he really thinks like that and has been a 6th man his entire career speaks volumes.
