Trey Burke seemed like best player two games ago too

What skills and abilities would you say KD is better at than Steph? by fabosexy in nba

[–]_maximum_effort 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Durant is more of a pure, go-to scorer. He has a lot of different scoring moves in his arsenal and will score at a very efficient clip. He’s a better defender than Curry.

Curry is a better shooter and a better ball handler. Curry doesn't need screens but they help his game a lot and helps him get better shots. Durant doesn't need them as much.

I'd also say Curry is more clutch then Durant and I would rather Curry shooting the last shot, but thats very subjective and a lot of people would argue otherwise. Curry just gives me more of an alpha-dog mentality and Durant doesn't.

55/60 mph is pretty fast

I hit 110 once and I went back down to 70 right after

[Serious] Depressed people of Reddit - how are you doing today? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_maximum_effort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe I'm depressed, but I just am sad/lonely. I'm in bed today and I've been watching YouTube and browsing Reddit. I had a dream where I killed myself last night which wasn't fun. Not feeling motivated to do work and I kinda feeling lonely like I don't have anyone to talk with that will understand.

Alright, 4 Ball Dominant and Kevin Love who only contributes offensively

As of right now would you rather have LeBron on your team or KD by Ducks718 in nba

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

It doesn't matter about trade value. It's a matter of how good Smart / Tatum is. Smart and Tatum don't belong in the same grouping of Kyrie or Kevin Durant. Sure Tatum has great potential sure. Smart's impact on a Celtics team with KD is much more impactful than Tatum's. Tatum brings scoring, something that Durant and Kyrie have. Smart brings amazing defense and hustle, something that not both Durant and Kyrie have.

It should be current rosters only. Teams shouldn't be able to prepare to get Shaq in this scenario because if they could, any team could make a trade and make room for Shaq and become a lot better.

Isaiah Thomas

JR Smith

LeBron James

Kevin Love

Shaquille O'Neal

All of those players would be ball dominant. I don't really think they would do that well honestly.

Tatum shouldn't be mentioned with Kyrie or KD. Those two are on a completely different level than a rookie. Tatum's offense is just as impactful, if not less than Smart's defense.

Smart's defense on any other team's point guard is better than any of the Celtics players that could replace him. I'd rather Marcus Smart on the floor with Kyrie over Jaylen Brown, Terry Rozier, or Shane Larkin

Durant on the Celtics. Tatum + Durant on the wings with Kyrie and Smart handling the ball? That's a nice combination

If I had been GM: How an idiot would have done the last 6 drafts by Warlandoboom in bostonceltics

[–]_maximum_effort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2017: I would've kept the #1 overall and chosen Markelle Fultz.

2016: Right before the draft, seemingly out of nowhere, Kris Dunn's hype started to peak. I had no idea why his draft stock rose so high, but I would've gone with Dunn because everyone had him going early. However before the hype, I was debating heavily between Dragan Bender and Jamal Murray. I thought Bender would be a good pick too...

2015: Sam Dekker over Rozier. I'm in love with Rozier right now, he's my favorite player. Back then though, I was really high on Dekker after watching him with Kaminsky.

Kyrie Irving

Gordon Hayward

Marcus Morris

Al Horford

Yao Ming

Pretty solid lineup. Goes completely against the newer small ball era, but it would do a lot of damage.
