The Official NBA Week 9 Thread

[Son of Skeletor]

I dont subscribe to the thought that he was misused, just more that he clearly feels that he had far more of a role, or confidence instilled in him in Atlanta.

You must admit he looks a different proposition and its rubbing off on both ends of the floor.

Could just be a change of environment, coaching style or any of a million other factors

I'm sure a change of scenery has probably freshened him up.

His current starting role just wasn't feasible with us, mostly due to our unorthodox roster. We had a spacing-challenged front court last year, and a shooting guard playing defacto point guard. We definitely needed a defnece-first guy in the starting line-up, but Herb was a more willing shooter, despite coming into the league with similar deficiencies.

Dyson's role in Atlanta is pretty much the same as it was for us last season, only he has the opportunity to start and play more minutes because they don't have any other plus defenders, whereas we did. The path we identified for him - ie not a point guard, but a point of attack defender who plays off ball on the other side of the court - is still very much his role this season. Only difference is greater opportunity for playing time, and a seemingly reduced reluctance to shoot.

Towns having an all star season. One of the most dominant big men in the comp so far.

The first quarter of rockets/Warriors should be burned and never watched again. The worst quarter of basketball I think I've watched. Worst first 7 minutes of basketball I've witnessed us play as a Rockets fan (including Silas years!) and we still lead after 1...

Taking a glance at the houston teams in that run, well let's just say that a bigfooty squad could give them a run

 

[peternorth]

Are the Bucks back? Admittedly they lost to the dyson daniels led hawks reently.

Middleton might be back today.

You know what US$25,000 allows you do to? Make a throat cutting gesture. J Brown fined for performing this old as time movement.

Seems quite popular in US sports to do this.

Denver in some big trouble that people are not giving enough of a look at, especially when you compare it to the asskicking Bucks got early on

Jamal Murray is complete ass. They miss KCP desperately in the sense that Christian Braun is a complete and utter potato. They missed Gordon when he was away. Porter Jnr doing some okay things. The bench is worst in the league. Russ Bus doing better then most thought but after that its just a bunch of non productive noobs .

They need to make a brave move or two and kill some egos too. Braun has to go. Infact id just find someone in the G-League to replace him at this rate. Bring Dennis Smith in. Atleast he can hustle ands defend. Come trade season id probably look at a guy like Luke Kennard. Id also look for a guy like PJ Tucker on the buyout market too when Clippers make him available. Even if they move Saric + Ninaji for him who are both wasting space. Id also probably look to give Russ Bus more minutes. Murray is struggling big time. Atleast Russ can help Jokic on the boards

JJ just mentioned DYSON DANIELS as the man they are wary of with ATL.

Defensive player of the month for November. 36/1 is insane odds

Benching Trent jnr for a defensive SG to let Trent Jnr come on and get some 3 point shots off when Lillard hits the bench been a big winning mvoe for them, however you look at that run and thats as easy of a run as you are getting. Charlotte/Detroit twice and Washington is a stretch most teams dream of fixture wise

Braun been the 2nd best player behind jokic lol. Higher shooting % than everyone bar Jokic. Actually plays defence unlike Porter and Murray
