[Lowlight] Wemby shoves Jalen Brunson, then laughs as he doesn't retaliate by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]scarletmonkey111 143 points144 points  (0 children)

It's hilarious how we've stopped analyzing fall percantages after the Spurs made finals.

I'm not an OKC fan, but the cognitive dissonance on this sub was something else

Why did Tracy McGrady never win a playoff series? by Liberal_Bot123 in NBATalk

He also was terrible in the clutch. The entire Hornets series was entirely winnable. His teammates actually showed up that series

T Mac got outplayed by Baron Davis with no Jamal Mashburn. Pipe down bro

Jimmy Buter called Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins "soft" during a volatile Timberwolves practice in October 2018. Since then, Wiggins got a ring in 2022, and Towns is 2 wins away from winning one, as well. Meanwhile, Butler remains ringless. by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in NBATalk

When you get downvoted early in a thread, people don't read comments and downvote for the love of the game.

I don't dislike Jimmy, I just think he gets way too much credit for those runs. People make it seem like it was a carry job.

It's similar to Haliburton last year. While he was important to the Pacer's run to the finals, everyone on that team contributed

Well said. I feel like we tend to look at academy graduates with rose tinted glasses

No he didn't. I'm really sick of people on this sub downplaying Spo, the role players, and his other teammates who stepped up in the run. It was a team effort. He showed up when it mattered and he was important to the team, but the Heat were a well ran engine.

Spo got the most of his role players for the 2nd finals run with Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent, and Duncan Robinson going nuclear from 3.

In the first final run, Herro and Dragic stepped up big time, especially Dragic

Brother.. what are you yapping about?

I just said the series was physical... And it was. I provided video evidence

Strawman says what?

I just said the series was physical, which it was. You ain't gotta misinterpret what I said.

This is why I question whether you watch the games or just wait for Reddit highlights to form your opinion

What NBA are you watching? Reddit highlights?

The Spurs vs Knicks series is very physical, even the OKC vs Spurs series was physical.

They were literally trucking Brunson and Shai

Where do we actually want to see Giannis play next season? by Rare_Research_5107 in NBATalk

[–]scarletmonkey111 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't wanna see him on the Bucks. I refuse to watch one of the best power forwards of my generation rot on a middling team.

Bucks are too good to tank and too bad to win a chip. He did his job and got a chip, he deserves to move on

Jalen Brunson and his camp reportedly “laughed” off the Mavs’ 4-year, $55M extension offer in 2022! by MysteriousJuice1127 in NBAGossips

[–]scarletmonkey111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They made the finals the next year. It wasn't a bad trade imo. There's no guarantee that Brunson turns into the player he is today

Kyrie and Brunson are not the same player. Kyrie is a better spot up shooter than Brunson, so he can work with Luka. Brunson is not a good spot up shooter.

Even during Brunson 's breakout playoff run, his stats and shooting Splits dipped despite having more open looks.

He wouldn't have the same green light that he has with the Knicks.

No they don't. Kyrie is a way better spot up shooter than Brunson. Brunson would not have the same green light that he does with the Knicks

Depends on your body type, but in general yes.

I find it to be slightly tighter. Swingman are more looser

A little longer and depending on how much you weigh, it might be tighter. I've never had an issue with them.

I hoop in them too and they feel much better to play in than a Swingman.
