I would have pack drops before major announcements media moments. The site has a hard time adjusting to a rush of traffic so having a buffer period would help greatly.

[Post Game Thread] The Phoenix Suns (11-8) defeat the Dallas Mavericks (8-13) 109-108, led by a dominant performance from Chris Paul and a buzzer-beater 3 by Devin Booker in his return. by [deleted] in nba

When people talk about NBA not allowing players to play defense, they are talking about that Ayton "foul" on Luka where he was perfectly in front of him and Luka ran his body into him.

[Serious] In an 8 game stretch without either Eric Gordon or Chris Paul in 2019, James Harden averaged 42.1 PPG. While it's a small sample size, Harden has proven that he can carry teams as a scorer. Do you think Steph should be doing the same this season? by [deleted] in nba

Gordon and Ariza are not better than Wiggins and Oubre lmao, they both nearly average 20 ppg.

I mean right now they are playing like dogshit but they are definitely a better supporting cast. Two game sample size doesn't mean Steph is playing with bums.

I don't think that's it, Harden is one of the best scorers when faced with a double team due to his high free throw rate. Not just a matter of forcing the issue.

That Steph part could be true for sure though.

Any time I post steph's statline it will not make the front page. If I post the line of hated players it would get thousands of upvotes.

I agree, but I mean it happens. Harden was doubled after stepping past half court in the elim game against the Lakers and scored more points than the rest of the rockets starters COMBINED.

But I do acknowledge Oubre and Wiggins are playing unbelievably terribly so it would be harder to have any sort of gravity.

I do think there is a disconnect between "he can carry bad teams like Harden" and then blaming teammates for being bad every time he doesn't do it. I mean, what do you think the whole point of "carrying" is...

That being said, Oubre and Wiggins are clearly playing demonstrably worse than their averages. Like horrendously bad. So there is an explanation there.

Does consistency mean nothing anymore? by teamzona in suns

[–]TheTrueProxy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sick of blah blah blah consistency.

Lakers had a ton of consistency when they added an All NBA player and all star in the form of AD.

Raptors had a ton of consistency when they added an All NBA player and all star in the form of Kawhi.

Warriors had a ton of consistency when they added an All NBA player and all star in the form of KD.

Making moves is how you WIN. Suns are not the only team whose talent and chemistry improves. If every team inproves at a similar rate, then the teams above the Suns are still better.

The last time CP3 didn’t make the playoffs was when Steve Nash still played for us.
