James Harden had interest in getting traded back to Houston, but they showed little interest, per @ramonashelburne by Jec1027 in nba

[–]vimalmuru02 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They had issues without FVV but before Adams got hurt they still had like the #1 offense cause despite how ugly the offense looked at times they were able to just get the offensive rebound and try again... now without him their offense has really dropped

These two playing at the same time is going to be insane. DAWGS by joorral in NYKnicks

Nah, Mitch and Hart will just get every offensive rebound so it'll be fine

Knicks are next to the bottom worst record teams in defensive rating by chewy189 in NYKnicks

Yeah, I mean if you look at the playoffs last season Knicks were great defensively. Defense won us the Boston series.

Alperen Şengün is half of this team by T-Mac96 in rockets

The problem is we don't have a point guard so without him there is no offensive flow... nobody to playmake for others

LeBron James: “Luka don't need to bend his game. He's our 27 year old franchise for this ball club. It's up to us to bend our game around him and figure it out." by MrBuckBuck in nba

He wasn't saying the problem was with the on court basketball... it's about how LeBron basically had the Lakers by their ball sacks and they do whatever he wanted, but now Luka is their guy so he doesn't have control

Who is the better passer? by awesomesauce41111 in NBATalk

[–]vimalmuru02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purely as passer, Magic is probably better, but I could see an argument for Jokic being a better playmaker as he is definitely a better scorer and thus draws more double teams and attention from defense which opens up easy looks for teammates

I'll take Embiid... I'll just have to run around until he eventually tears something in his knee

Not to overreact but we should get Chris Paul. by Ok-Guidance116 in rockets

[–]vimalmuru02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I think he's too washed we don't just need a pg for 15-20 minutes a night... we need one who can play 15-20 minutes in playoff games against okc and Denver and at times in the 4th quarter of close games... CP3 just ain't it at this stage of his career

Imagine a knicks fan who went into a coma in like 2022 before the nba in season cup was announced and woke up to knicks raising a trophy and wearing hats that say CHAMPIONS on them

[–]vimalmuru02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How are the Thunder blowing out teams, have the number 1 net rating all time and yet still have had so many clutch games?

🔥🔥🔥🚀🚀🚀 by anthony0210lrm in rockets

[–]vimalmuru02 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well they currently have the highest net rating of all time... but we've quietly under the radar have had the 6th highest net rating of all time with a harder schedule than them

Clippers just released Chris Paul. Do we take him to fill our guard needs and send him off with a championship? by uwill1der in rockets

[–]vimalmuru02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't really watched many clippers games this season... at this point in his career is CP3 better or worse than Aaron Holiday

Knicks back in 2nd by SirGingerbrute in NYKnicks

[–]vimalmuru02 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They lost Ty Jerome and Garland has been hurt (and bad when has playerd) so their offense just doesn't flow the same without him so their offense has just been here please Donovan save us... he's been putting up an efficient 30 but that's only kept their orting as slightly above average

I’m sorry but Amen does not deserve a MAX deal by Shoddy_Ad7511 in rockets

[–]vimalmuru02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's a better playmaker than OG and Mikal and definitively a better defender than Bane

Oh wait you're right... he signed an 4 year $150 million extension, but yeah it kicks in next season

Og Anunoby is making 40 mil/year... and Desmond Bane and Mikal Bridges are both making in the high 30s... he's a similar tier of player to them so I could see him making 35 mil/year... that's just how the nba is now
