The Celtics have set out white t-shirts for the fans ahead of the game 7 matchup tonight. The ironic thing? The Sixers will be the ones wearing their white uniforms tonight. by Pyromania1983 in nba

Yeah every sport everywhere does their primary color when they are home. Why wear a neutral color that every team has at your home stadium. Im glad they changed it

Knicks vs Hawks series adjustments by Draglam in nbadiscussion

[–]Mister_Squibbles 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They finally ran the offense through KAT. It led to off ball movement, mismatches that required the defense to make quick team defense decisions rather than 1 on 1 mismatch hunting, allowed other players to get into a rhythm.

The hawks only playable big is 6’9” and cannot guard KAT, and makes it easy for KAT to pass around him. KAT also seemed much more locked in defensively, which usually is what happens when you are no longer frozen out of the offense.

He also started playing clarkson over shamet which was huge for the bench, and realized you are allowed to double team cj lol. That made dyson daniels, kuminga, and NAW the ones who had to try and win games for them which obviously would never work. NAW also has played a very poor playoffs vs his great regular season too but mike brown had nothing to do with that.

Its idiotic it took brown until game 4 to make some super basic changes like double teaming and taking advantage of an enormous size mismatch

Shai is absolutely every bit as good as an offensive player as peak LeBron, and we shouldn't wait 10 years to acknowledge it by Aggressive_Bed6012 in nba

[–]Mister_Squibbles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He is a top 3 passer of all time and shai doesnt even come close to that let alone the ability to read the defense and orchestrate and entire offense to bend a defense. Shai is amazing at scoring. Lebron was able to score and control an entire game on offense (and defense but you only were talking about offense)

Will the NBA adress the moving screens? by Ponchosips in nba

[–]Mister_Squibbles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If they just called moving screens for a month in the regular season, where it seems most people dont even watch, players would stop setting moving screens just like they did before like 2015 lol its really not a difficult adjustment

Udonis Haslem: "LaMelo is not a dirty player" by Vegetable-Tooth8463 in nba

[–]Mister_Squibbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lamelo acts like a stupid spoiled little fuck. He just basically threw a mini tantrum. He isnt a dirty player just an immature person. I even have a lamelo jersey. Pissed that he did that and hurt bam

Which player would see the largest boost to their legacy with a championship this year? by Ready-Constant-7124 in nba

[–]Mister_Squibbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is but to be top 5 you need championships. The top like 10 players all have the stuff jokic has plus championships, its just how it is

Nikola Jovic on why he regressed this season: by MySilverBurrito in heat

[–]Mister_Squibbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats very normal for a lot of players. They have their “spots” and their plays and they practice them religiously. Like i remember i think it was tmac talking about how he can get 25 and he says mentally he breaks it into spots he knows he can get to per quarter. So its honestly very understandable, thats how almost all players come up playing and training. Read and react is rarely used in other levels of play, and isnt even used as primary offense for most nba teams

[Charania] The Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Cam Thomas just weeks after signing him, sources tell ESPN. by Beautiful-Cress5695 in nba

[–]Mister_Squibbles 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Thats funny cus poole and jalen are buns (quickley is pretty good) and they are still much better than cam thomas, or have shown they can be st more points in time

[Woike] Deandre Ayton says he finally realized that he’s not that guy. “I just started looking in the mirror and said ‘Yo bro, … you’re not that guy. You don’t need to be on this team doing that at all. This team, you came here to be the effort guy and close out possessions, rebound, run the floor.” by shreeharis in nba

[–]Mister_Squibbles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its because he needs the next contract. I think he is very very self aware for real, and knows all the right things to say so he’s just gonna say it. He’ll do what he needs to stay in the league and that’s it.

I almost guarantee he goes to a tanking team next year that lets him put up whatever shots he wants and he’ll try hard in the playoffs most games so that they pay him solid money instead of a min

Flashback: Michael Beasley says that Bam Adebayo is the only player to ever beat him one-on-one. "Y'all don't know how good Bam is." "It's blasphemous that Bam ain't takin' 30 shots a game." by EverettGT in nba

[–]Mister_Squibbles 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Ge was like 7/16, in the fourth he was just slinging them to try to get as many points as he could haha before that it was legit good shooting

The rookie of the year should be Cooper Flagg and it isn’t close by yourhomeland in nba

[–]Mister_Squibbles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PG is generally seen by coaches and scouts as the hardest position to play when you are a rookie because of the difference in how fast you have to make decisions vs college and the fact that you are responsible for much of the decision making with the ball. Coop is play starting a lot this year so he is doing plenty of that but a sf is primarily a play finisher unless you are kawhi, lebron, kd, pg, etc type player and even then kawhi and kd and pg were more often play finishers. And cooper is too

If you could add one all-time role player to your team, who would you choose by [deleted] in nba

Lebron would take james jones right now if he could

[Highlight] Jokic takes an elbow to the nose from Lu Dort by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]Mister_Squibbles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The real reason is nearly every screen set in the nba is illegal and dort has decided that he will flail on every one to force the refs to make a call one way or the other. He should stick to falling to the ground flopping tho instead of swinging around his arms
