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

I have never seen OKC played that efficient in my recent memories. I have seen them get hot and that but their offense revolves my turn your turn with KD and Westbrook and some PNR with Ibaka.

But this game maaan.. seems like they've done everything on the offensive side of the floor hence why Westbrook was able to get 17 assists before the 4th.

Just beautiful basketball.

the lineups have balance now.. which is the best thing to come from the whole trade deadline..

for some reason scotty was adamant about starting and playing way too many mins with lineups with multiple guys who were little to no threat offensively

now, in the starting lineup, only Roberson isn't a threat offensively.. but you cant really cheat off of him because of the things he excels at (hustle plays.. rebounding.. attacking off the ball).. you have to at least account for him or he'll get easy baskets

then when the team brings in a wing to replace Roberson, that guy is a threat offensively (waiters or morrow).. so then you can swap kanter with adams and not fall back into 3 vs 5 on the offensive end

the pieces just fit together seamlessly now

What were the Shaq and Kobe Lakers? Would you say they were a jump shooting team. I wouldn't. I don't remember Fish, Fox, Horry, Kobe and them all shooting poorly either.

Get the ball to Shaq cause nobody can stop him and drew double and triple teams and was a good passer and found open shooters like Big shot Bob, Rick Fox, and Derek Fisher to knock down shots. And had Kobe out there free lancing. That was those Lakers.

I found this to be interesting. Considering the starters looking good right now, its hard to believe they are producing a negative net rating . Also, pretty surprised by the bench as well. Its a good sign considering the bench is who I'm worried about the most.

I also find it funny boys are in here circle jerking to his stats against Charlotte

Those teams were jump shooting teams though. They were taking and making jumpers at a high rate, the two MIA Vs SAS series those teams were the top two three point shooting teams in the league, in 2013 the Spurs and the Heat last year took the most combined threes in the finals ever, what more do people want to see?

No denying that. But the guys I mentioned are among the best paint players of this era and can hardly be described as jump shooters

Exactly. Just because a team shoots a high percentage doesn't make them a jump shooting team. All low post teams get easy shots for the perimeter players. That's why everyone on Earth says GS needs Bogut to WIN in the playoffs. Jump shooting with 0 post presence doesn't work. Unless you have the best player in the world.

I'm waiting for the day dude compares Westbrook to Marbury.

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

second off. like I said, I dont care about your ONE OFF stats or any ONE OFF game. Going by both your stats and your one off games, he's quite literally the most willing/best passer in the nba. like i said before, he gets assist numbers because he literally doesnt come off the ball. Is he a better passer than curry? His numbers are similar/maybe higher.

What All-star point guard doesn't dominate the ball?

Dubs need bogut for defense, not offense.

I'm not saying its a knock for a PG to dominate the ball. I'm saying its a knock when your PG is score first and has one of the best scorers on the league on his team and doesnt pass the ball nearly enough.

Westbrook is truly amazing. Is he even a human? Putting up these numbers on the paper is so ridiculous. Averaging 30 ppg, 10 apg and 8 rpg this month. He came out of nowhere when he was a UCLA sophomore in 2008. He wasn't in the top 150 ranking for class of 2006. South Californians Harden and Westbrook are NBA's top two scoring leaders this year.

He himself is also one of the best scorers in the league as well

dude acts like durant isn't averaging 17 shots per game on a bad foot

You gotta love dude's come up and no I don't think he's a human.


3 knee surgeries in a year and came back more athletic, dude is a cyborg like Freiza.

 

[bonafide hustla]

You say idiotic things and you get offended for being called on it?

It's one game but he leads the entire league on assist % on the season. Doesn't come off the ball but he's a PG?

Even the stats in the graphic are over 5 games.

Guess who wasn't on the debate team in school?


His assist % is higher than Curry/Wall/Paul/Lawson etc.


I call out everyone who says **** as dumb as you do, so miss me with that "get off my ****" talk, you're more Special-Ed than special.


Just admit you're wrong and have no idea what you're talking about like everybody told you to begin with, it's a lot easier to love a village idiot than a smart dumb dude.

1 game or the last 5, the sentiment still remains. you're micro-debating like all stats guys do. You still havent answered my question on what's being proven with the stats. Is he the best/most willing passer in the league? is he a better passer than Curry/Wall/Paul/Lawson.

You're pointing out the flaw in your own stats

and you still need to get off my ****. Just making sure you confined the slick talk to RWB and stats.

I'm not admitting anything other than the fact that you will go bold when he puts up the crazy assist numbers and dormant when he's turning the ball over in critical moments



and whoever made that Marbury statement, corny as hell. Dudes think I dont like Westbrook when in fact I simply think he's too talented to not be a better, more willing passer.

Not to mention compton kyle leading the hawks to a top seed with historic shooting marksmanship. Cali breeds greatness

Agreed, but he has KD on his team. THEE best scorer. KD scores in literally every facet of the game. Half court, transition, catch n shoot, whatever. He should have like a 10/1 assist/TO ratio with KD out there
