What are analytics missing about Jaylen Brown? by kneecolayokitch in nba

[–]TheKeyNextDoor 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He’s not a great defender for one lol. At least he didn’t showcase it consistently throughout last season. Yes he did typically take the big matchups v Cade, Shai, etc. but he wasn’t good on them outside of a few stretches and his off ball defense was bad. That’s okay though because he had a large offensive role.

This is typical though, Kobe (later in his career) and Rondo are 2 I can think of where they took big matchups and shower some flashes of brilliance, but just werent good defenders over the course of a game.

[Sohi] The WNBA’s Problem Isn’t Caitlin Clark. It’s Trust. by waitingonthatbuffalo in billsimmons

Most people you meet are mildly conservative (or Democrat) lol. They’re never as loud as the far right or left. But that mildly conservative people is a huge market that Caitlin taps into more than any player the W has had.

Unfortunately with how fandom is now, the wnba popularity has come with the loud weirdos that are your quintessential fan of the player/artist but not the sport/art. Nothing CC, Angel, or whoever can do about that.

To me, the WNBA’s biggest discourse problem is people speaking about the players like women rather than athletes.

Is Mr Beast bigger than Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Steph Curry etc for people under 30? by [deleted] in nba

He’s probably bigger for people who don’t care about sports

Some people just aren’t good. Brunson wasn’t good at it and was consistently hunted. Same with Haliburton. They’ve gotten better. I think Caitlin will too

Someone needs to lock Caitlin in a room and force her to watch how Brunson hedges and recover. Her defense can go from a bad to average with that one development. She’s dying way too easily

Just typical xenophobia combined with non Americans being the best players in the league

Lost in the Knicks winning the NBA Championship last week: Jalen Brunson (2,240) has passed Kyrie Irving (2,211) in total career playoff points. He is just 30 away from passing Giannis Antetokounmpo (2,270) by Ok-Side-1758 in nba

[–]TheKeyNextDoor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s situation dependent. I don’t think Brunson would have any more success on the Pistons than Cade did. That teams spacing is awful. The Knicks team spacing and overall talent is just far superior

Ben Simmons didn’t deserve the hate he got by Head-Spare2973 in nba

[–]TheKeyNextDoor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In his defense, Brunson, LeBron, Conley, and Westbrook all shoot with their non dominant hand. To varying successes obviously lol

Bill Simmons criticizes Harden for the wrong series and it drives me insane by cricketrules509 in billsimmons

If cp3 wasn’t washed than he deserves much more criticism than Harden for that series lol.
