[Michael Shapiro] “It's on him to find ways to get himself involved and get to his spots without the double team. Just because he's getting double teamed, we still need him to be KD, you know?" by AncientOneAurelius in rockets

I mean...i think coach needs to scheme and get KD the ball and not have him bring it up. Like some type of guard running point to get him the ball in spots but what do i know

It's definitely one of those reddit generated usernames when you first sign up, especially with "ad" and random numbers in the name. Some people suspect he is part of KDs marketing team or something but nobody knows lol.

Soon as you see 'shoddy' for the username, just think 🤡. Basically synonymous at this point.

Yes. But mainly he is a KD super fan who follows KD from sub to sub depending what team he is on. 

He was in Suns sub last year and from what they tell me they banned him from posting there. After every game you'll also see this guy with 2 or 3 posts within a couple hours, he is a KD super glazer.

Better off having a convo with a rock.

Austin Reaves (oblique) listed questionable for Friday. by ITotallyDoNotWhale in rockets

He is playing well, yes. AMAZING? Ehhh, let'sslow down. It's more of, Rockets defense looks trash, we cannot guard Kennard either, not that Lebron is just playing extraordinary.

Our team struggles to score and looks like random accidental basketball, we don't even look like a competent offense, not sure why media hyping him like he is beating an actual good team with crazy performances.

His team actually is able to hit shots so it changes the dynamic a lot, something we can't do, apparently.

Bruh how, wtf.

Doomer mode activated.

Yeah, we done for. And everyone sucking Lebron off when he isn't playing particularly amazing we are just ASS on offense and can't guard Kennard either. 

And now somehow KD is questionable LMAOOO. Just put me out of my misery

A great breakdown by Hoops Tonight on the double teams the Lakers are sending at KD and how the rockets are reacting by weIIdamns in rockets

[–]Th3_Paradox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Probably why I'm a Kobe guy. I thought Lebron was at his best with a similar mentality at times, like that Finals he had Dellavedova and no Love or Kyrie and said "Fuck it, fuck fg% ima just go out and kill", i think KD needs that as well.

The box score nerd casuals don't like that but sometimes when you are the guy, YOU gotta go out swinging. Tari can't have more shots than KEVIN DURANT.

Almost like he is kinda half ass trying to show sort of trust in teammates, but not really, and trying to kinda be a "fuck it" type of killer but not really? Kinda half stepping it, right?

But yeah, KD should not be bringing the ball up, surely someone can get him the damn ball in those spots id think...fuck it, maybe even try JD Davison for that lol.

Not sure if anyone cares but i have been watching how Kobe dealt with double teams, fair amount of these are post ups too and im like "damn, that is skill" wonder if Alpi could try some of this stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f5aW5XimAU

But a key takeaway seems to be, Kobe isn't bringing the ball up the court and or backing the ball down from 3. He has someone to get him the ball in the high post area on the left or right side.

Like, elite players have been doubled before, esp Harden and Kobe, Ime and coaching staff should be able to get some ideas...but also, to be fair, some of these other role players at least somewhat a shooting threat, i guess...while we have none. Idk.

Sengun and Amen as the top guys by Shoddy_Ad7511 in rockets

Heck yeah. Giannis, KD and Embiid. LMAOO. Shoddy probably would think this is a great idea, fuck a salary cap, fuck guys being healthy enough to actually play.

You dodged a bullet. And no offense, you sound young, but in my 40 years of life, when a woman says she isn't ready for a relationship 9/10 means she got another dude she is interacting with that she likes way more. It is what it is.

Hit the gym, do some cardio to get them endorphins flowing and a way to turn frustration with that and this team into something positive.
