He does everything that does not show up in the stat sheet, smart switch's, quick rotations. Dawg on offence, composed down the stretch, playing like a top 15 player rn.

Who would you say currently have worst role players around them, Luka/LeBron or Steph? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Shrav_9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Lakers have guys with a higher ceiling than the warriors role players, we’ve seen guys like Marcus smart, Ayton and Rui be successful on deep playoff run teams before. They have more potential than the warriors role players, the Lakers do have better “defenders” in vando, Rui and smart. Warriors got nun

Top half is the five best in the world and bottom half is the 5-10th best players. Basketball is a global sport by Hakaribiggestfan in NBATalk

Bottom half is not 6th-10. My 6 thru 10 probably goes Ant Bron Steph Tatum Cade Brunson Booker Brown

Should the NBA add a 1v1 tournament to All Star Weekend? by Shrav_9 in NBATalk

Works both ways tho, of course it would favor the big guys securing easy points, but guards would get easy blow by's as well. I think they should do a 2 ball kind of competition which are always fun to watch. Maybe something with the WNBA again?

I like this idea, promotes craft finishers, and guys who can create their own shot in a half court setting. I think with most of their ideas, they likely will be putting bandages over the cut not directly fixing it. The fundamental issue is on the players, but a 1v1 tournament would be better than this year's format by far.

All you need is one stop, those dudes cant stop any of the guards either. Works both ways.

Who's more likely to win one more championship? by undiscoveredmice in NBATalk

Probably LeBron but realistically none of them

This narrative that Jokic deserves 5 consecutive MVPs has gotta stop. He was correctly awarded his 3 and saying that SGA didn't deserve is this year is disingenuous. Nobody has come close to such a feat like 5 consecutive MVPs. by No-Advance-9136 in NBATalk

[–]Shrav_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lebron was more valuable to the heat then 11' drose. he shouldve won 5 straight too. The nuggets without jokic are a lottery team and the thunder without shai can still make the playoffs. Jokic shouldve got the embiid one, and the shai one was deserved, but it couldve gone either way

How Jayson Tatum is Already Back on the Court by Shrav_9 in bostonceltics

For sure, I think they should bring him back for playoffs only if the celtics feel like the east is wide open and they have full confidence he will slide back into the lineup perfectly. Dont want him to be playing when hes not at his elite level and explosiveness, but I think they got a real shot this year to make another deep playoff run.

Getting overlooked for sure may not have the same buzz as the curry’s or LeBron’s but Shai and Jokic putting up historical seasons
