Around the NBA - March 2018

[Strenuus]

Getting to the home stretch. Playoff seeding becoming crucial.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yay March

What's shocking is that some NBA execs think Rose has an NBA future TO be in danger...

 

[DDolla]

The Process is Just that Good

 

[KingSpeed]

What is up Dame???

 

[Lukee]

LeBron should and will go to the Sixers.

I really wish we had some capspace to throw at Julius Randle.

 

[tester551]

There's a chance he might be an UFA. Depending on the market, he could be a cheap pickup

Sheeeeeeiiiiit! You think you get frustrated watching Aminu running around out there dribbling the ball, this dude makes or Lance Stephenson look like John Stockton.

He's averaging like 4 assists a game this past month. Along with 19/9. He's got way more game than Aminu, even with the turnovers.

 

[THE HCP]

Nah, I like his game and that he is so young. He’s just an out of control train half the time out there. Reminds me of a bigger Artest.

Who wouldn't want a bigger Ron-Ron on this team??

Dame is currently 11th in the league in PER at 24.7; that seemed weirdly low (the ranking, not the PER value), so I looked and

in 2013, he'd be 5th
in 2008, he'd be 5th
in 2003, he'd be 7th
in 1998, he'd be 5th
in 1993, he'd be 5th
in 1988, he'd be 4th

I know PER sucks now, blah blah blah, but it seems to match the eye test that WOW there are a lot of really great players in the league right now.

 

[THE HCP]

Best move on the court EVER?

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Damn close to a travel since it looks like he hit the floor before he released the ball......but then, he’s LBJ.....

That's why I was saying Dame's stats this year are not significantly, if any, better than LMA's best year. The offensive game is extremely inflated right now, and Dame is perfectly situated to take advantage of that.

Which year do you put as LA's best year?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Which year do you put as LA's best year?

I was just looking at that myself. Honestly, I'd say it's this one. Prior to that, probably 2010-11.

I thought it was 2013-14 when we had Lopez and his rebounding went up and then had those two games against Houston in playoffs.

Yes, Dad.

I just came across this and thought it was interesting.....

That wasn't anywhere near a travel. That was a fundamental behind the back dribble.

When I look at that chart, it makes me really wonder WTF Draymond Green, Demarcus Cousins and Chris Paul are bitching about all the time. They play for three of the least screwed teams in the league and still are always whining and picking up technicals. Bitches be bitches!

Yeah, but he hit the ground before he got the shot off. Unless the rules have changed since I was a kid, that’s either traveling or “up and down”. Argue all you want....

 

[DDolla]

Let’s Go Jazz!

You can add Doc Rivers to that list as well.

 

[Boob-No-More]

And Blake Griffin (top 5 in technicals even though he's only played in 45 games). Both his previous and current teams are among the least screwed.

Technicals pay for themselves all the time. You can see it during games. Just last night a Wolves player got T'd up, for something that was the right call BTW, then immediately got away with a blatant one after complaining about the T. Happens all the time.
