Vogel Risking Bron’s career to save his job

i need him to play to make this game somewhat watchable

 

[storm2006]

LeBron 6’10 w/ shoes on out there playing like he 5’10

Bron is one of the most physically dominant players of all-time and you are saying he plays like he is 5’ 10”? That is worse than folks saying Embiid plays like guard

While I complain about AD bailing out defenses with jumpers...

It's the type of jumpers he takes that's the issue. Too many fade-aways and 3's.

Embiid out the mid post facing up has guard skills

Came in to say exactly what addict did. He has guard skills but he doesn’t play like a guard. It may seem like semantics but there really is a difference in the two statements IMO

I think his % of shots that are 3's are like 10%

I think it's just an awkward fit with Russ that makes it feel like he's too perimeter oriented and the fact that he's essentially bricking anything that's not a layup or dunk so his jumpshots feel louder. But tbh he's got to take some, or else the russ thing may not be tenable long term IMO

Haven't checked recently but he was leading the league in points in the paint and restricted area a week ago

Definitely. We want him to take jumpshots. It's just that he relies too much on the fadeaway.

Yeah he moves like he’s 5’10.

6’10 guys should not be able to move like that, he has the coordination, agility and speed of someone a whole foot shorter than him.

The bubble was the only time you could argue he ever “relied” on any type of jump shot

His jumper ranges from pedestrian to mediocre. He gets to 25+ ppg by wreaking havoc in the painted area.

Knee and ankle? Damb

Damn. On the same leg. Definitely sitting him out for a good amount of time.

 

[amitt5504]

Vogel is definitely ALA

 

[storm2006]

POOLE. PARTY.

 

[P C H]

Vogel is definitely ALA

Franchise tag on me, bron bron

 

[100027]

This Warriors experiment is pretty interesting, and while they are definitely struggling to figure it out the only player I don’t see as solid in the lineup right now is Chiozza.

Nemanja is filling the Draymond role on offense to an extent.

Hope Kuminga gets some more offensive possessions

 

[getback]

Doris Burke?

 

[100027]

Cade is looking nice. Mature game

 

[storm2006]

Doris Burke?

I peeped she was out on Wednesday. At first I thought Mark Jones was peeved that he got paired with VC then when they revealed it was his birthday, I realized she was probably in the Milwaukee telly prepping for “festivities”

 

[D StaXX]

Kanter lol
