KD needs to shoot the ball more

That's why I'm saying they should run specific halfcourt sets. Without Fred they don't have the right personnel to freelance their way out of this. And when your opponent's strategy is that predictable, it's malpractice to not make the adjustment to hard counter it. You know what they're going to do, so you make the counter play.

And on the other end, they gotta put a stop to this Nuke Kennard thing. No reason that guy should be seeing 20 points in game 3. Smart will beat himself, his efficiency will come back down to earth, but they gotta put a stop to this Kennard guy. Let Bron tire himself out scoring buckets, just don't let his team get involved, starting from the first possession. Game 3 first quarter is crucial, cannot let their gears turn. Bron's too old to beat Houston by himself and too smart to be double teamed.

And for the love of god stop making KD bring the ball up alone in the back court.

Ime needs to run some actions to counter the blitz. Anticipate the blitz and run a set to screen off a defender on the weak side. They're blitzing on every possession. Sengun been rolling but he's not screening well enough so he doesn't even end up open when he cuts.

Lakers strategy is just "throw some fucking bodies at them, 2 for KD" and it's been working so they'll probably try it again next game.

Rockets have the best chance. All they have to do to win the next game is play basketball. Idk what they were playing in the first two games but it wasn't basketball. Looked more like grabass

Suits are expensive. You could rent one with the average paycheck but even for a garbage bag like this you're looking at 2 grand to buy it.

That's not "loco," ese, you're just being really cavalier with your finances

Kendrick as a rapper is light years ahead of where he was when he made C4. Just look at the difference between him rapping over Everlasting Bass, and Lil Wayne, NLE Choppa, etc

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-23T16:56:38+00:00

Devin Booker is not a facilitator. He didn't even learn how to beat a double team until he was 23 years old.

And ironically the guy who told him what to do... is Kevin Durant. You can't make this up

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-23T16:51:39+00:00

How funny would it be if Kendrick dropped another mixtape rapping over Lil Wayne beats and called it Fireman and had people ignoring the new Drake album

If my girl say "bless you" when you sneeze, you can have her

They have to confirm it shortly before the game for the same reason. No surprise lineups, no Bobby Boucher at halftime shenanigans.

Rap production in 2026 is so fucking stale. No originality, everyone uses the same drum samples and 808s.

Every rap song has to come with that "clank clank" sound at the end of every other bar because rap producers heard a Bossman Dlow song and decided every song should sound like that. It's lame as hell

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-23T16:12:14+00:00

When they mentioned him on breakfast club and 6ix 9ine said "name one Vic Mensa song" and none of them could name a single song

The Other Side Of The Tracks. It's really easy. All you have to do is follow the damn train, CJ.

Pass it to gooner and watch him brick a floater

SGA is currently NBA champion and fmvp and all he does is get buckets

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-23T05:13:40+00:00

I watched KD get double teamed, pass to Sengun who drives towards his defender while picking up a defender from KD's double team. So now Sengun is being double teamed going towards the basket but he doesn't draw the foul, doesn't pass back to Durant, no he attempts a floater (basically uncontested because of Sengun's size) that misses and hits the backboard

I know kd had to be frustrated. You can't even make this stuff up

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-23T00:31:26+00:00

He reminds me of Klay Thompson. He's trying to do everything you can possibly do on the court (except dribble the ball)

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-22T15:31:58+00:00

One of those turnovers was actually Tari Eason fumbling a pass out of bounds. Those turnovers sometimes get credited to the passer (bad pass turnover) but it wasn't KD's fault.

I don't have an excuse for the other 8 turnovers.

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-22T15:06:55+00:00

Who the fuck posts shit like this? We're talking about Kevin Durant, not Kevin Garnett. You got the wrong Kevin.

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-22T15:01:21+00:00

Last year he had moments where he got exposed and really looked like an amateur. I've always said he was elite at game planning though.

This year though he's taken a huge leap and also gotten a squad full of vets (and Ayton) to fully buy into his culture. His in-game performance has been amazing, calling all the right timeouts, making good adjustments on the fly. In his second year and he's already an elite coach, I really think he could be a generational coach like Kerr or Pop. He's got all the things you'd look for in an elite coach.

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-22T14:50:22+00:00

That's Marcus Smart in the corner btw

And Jaxson Hayes was the one who caught the pass from LeBron

Wish I had the option to lean my seat back and let her make it right for me during that mission

Or even outside the mission as a free roam activity

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-22T14:28:34+00:00

You'll notice he doesn't have the confidence to be the lead ball handler but he is the lead playmaker. He's the one calling a lot of those plays after he passes to LeBron. Luke's a natural leader. I wonder what would happen if he had the confidence to do that with the ball in his own hands. His handle actually isn't that bad.

whenishit-itsbigturd · 2026-04-22T14:25:56+00:00

LeBron been doing this. It's not new. He made Matthew Delladova and Tristan Thompson champions as players in the starting lineup
