The official Bigfooty NBA week 5 thread - Ask a question about the game /Kevin Durant

[Scallop Industry Thug]

I dunno, they've started running some stuff for him in end of game situations where he's iso'd at the top with the floor spread and using JJ as the screener to try to open the lane for him to drive or JJ on the pop to either shoot or get into the side handoff 2 man game with Embiid if the shot isn't there. But outside of that considering he can't and won't shoot he really shouldn't be prioritised shots in crunch time. They can still use him as a screener in those DHO and as a roller or faking the handoff and driving to the rim if they overplay on JJ, tho but it's on him to show he wants to and can score in more ways then just running downhill.

Yep, good analysis. He could do some real damage as a screener. Especially on the short roll like how Green does it when the defense doubles Curry.

Kyrie is an absolute colossus in 4th quarters/OT.

It really is something to behold when he gets going.

Hubie Brown is such an insufferable old campaigner.

"Now just look here, just watch this"

We have eyes Captain Obvious.

Probably harsh but I actually hate him. Up there with the likes of Derrwayne and BT for me.

Hey look out now.

Got the crazy eyes going.

He'll go 2/14 the rest of the game.

Sounds like a good game

Thon has the core strength of a seven year old girl.

Undefeated with Daniel Theis and his new haircut in the lineup.

Jesus Christ, just stop talking Jimmy.
His agent definitely has to have his working boots on this offseason

Yep but he'll only ever be a 10th-15th player anyway from any team now on. If he manages to stay in the league that is.

He had a great run - but you would say he is done and should eye off coming home once his contract expires.

Delly is a lucky man. He managed to win a championship, become a cult hero and get a massive pay day while never really being more than a great college level player.

People were actually talking about Trae Curry and I missed it.

He's had a few great games and crap games. Our team has probably tried 5 different starting 5 combinations already. BUT try to judge him a little on his actual point guard play and not focus on the shooting part. He was the best playmaker in his draft class.

Passing on Doncic gave us Dallas' 2019 first rounder which is only top 5 protected. So yes we are now looking at a top 3 pick + 6-10 to put with him, Prince, Collins, Huerter, Bembry & Omari Spellman (who is an interesting player, sort of a poor mans Zion).

Good news is teams can't stuff up a top 3 pick this draft. Zion, Barrett and Reddish all look great.

 

[DT_35]

Trae Curry....Lol

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

His playmaking might end up better than his shooting.

Thon Maker should do MMA based on that Philippines brawl.

Dyin for zion

Or just a mediocre team missing their best player

yes still, comparing his core strength to a 7 year old is a little rough. although he's thin, couldnt find him in a meadow of uncut hay
