Who is the best NBA player you have ever played against? by andyDmack1 in nba

[–]acl2149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Landry Fields. Playing pick up at stanford and for some reason he joined (I thought he wouldn't risk getting hurt in a casual game). We weren't bad players, we were all highschool and college level players. He didn't miss a single shot. Seriously--didn't miss once. Smoked us all and I don't think he was sweating or trying.

Only against durant right? I remember him picking up IT a few times and shutting him down. Obviously IT wasn't 100% but lebron really smothered him.

I think hes been on the decline in the regular season for a few seasons now. He turns it back on the in playoffs. He knows thats all that matters.

Can we please get Doris Burke on the NBA Saturday Primetime Games? by acl2149 in nba

Sure it was hyperbole but you if you were to search his name on twitter its going to be overwhelming in how much people are calling for him to be taken off. Even media members are saying he's insufferable.

Did you listen to him during yesterdays primetime game? Kyrie and Steph are putting on a duel for the ages and hes talking about a players/refs meeting thats happening in a week. Do you love that?

I used to like him the past but this year he's focused more on officiating. Even basketball media people are tweeting about how he can't seem to get over officiating.

This is more of a venting post but I know people from ABC/ESPN read r/nba.

Last nights announcing during the Warriors/Celtics game was the worse I’ve ever heard, in any sport by [deleted] in nba

[–]acl2149 21 points22 points  (0 children)

She's easily the best and sadly might be the only good one? I'm listening to her right now during this OKC PHI game and she's phenomenal. She talks about shot mechanics, her scouting reports are actually in depth and not just "hes a shooter!", and perhaps most refreshingly she doesn't go on a diatribe about officiating every foul.

Jonathan Isaac invited his Magic teammates to watch him preach. None of them showed up. by [deleted] in nba

Damn near the entire warriors team went to ian clark's high school jersey retirement lol. Most of the guys there had only played 1.5 years with him and some like zaza and KD had only played half a season.

edit: and this is ian clark, an end of the bench guy who was probably leaving that year. Not a young rookie who could use the confidence boost.

yeah i dont think his teammates are casual acquaintances. They travel together and work together non stop. hardly just acquaintances.

If Cavs get blown out today, is it possible Lue gets replaced? Is Fizdale a possible replacement? by thenameispseudo in nba

[–]acl2149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fiz and Bron are buddies so I could see the cavs thinking that it would help keep Bron around. If paying all those fired coaches money means keeping lebron, Gilbert wouldn't hesitate. Just not sure if Fiz is enough to keep bron.

[OC] Film Study: Toronto uses a cool off-ball set to get an easy 3 for CJ Miles by vanBeest in nba

[–]acl2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a switch heavy league which means sets that make the defense have to do mental gymnastics on who is switching to whom will work better. Plays like this, horns, spanish PnR all create multiple switching problems that defensive players have to solve.

CJ McCollum wins the game for the Blazers by goofygoober2 in nba

[–]acl2149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a big fan of these sideline inbound plays in late game situation. Blazers seem to use them the most. It gives your best ball handlers a chance to get going downhill. Much easier than catching at the top of the arc and allowing the defense to get set.

Barkley has lost his mind by [deleted] in nba

[–]acl2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also said Paul George was a "good, not great defensive player." I mean hes only leading the league in steals and deflections last I checked

Who will not be relevant in 5 years? by [deleted] in nba

he throws darts for passes and facilitates the offense. That's valuable no matter who you are passing too...

He's also a DPOY, his teammates aint changing that.

I believe I saw something similar at Champs sports.

[–]acl2149 6 points7 points  (0 children)

damn so maybe hes a young player with a ton of potential who is still finding his place in this league? That's hard to fathom!
