2016-2017 NBA Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 113

Being able to play defense is pretty key to keeping your minutes with Thibs as well.

 

Pining for Bjelica in the starting lineup all offseason and it looked good.

 

Haha there were a couple turnovers by Towns where he just kind of gave up on the play and Thibs lost it. I'm glad he's back in the league.

 

Thibs is so loud; constantly yelling on the court. Even way high up in the rafters you could hear him yelling his head off at the players.

 

Got my first Nuggets game of the season on Saturday night, Pepsi Center was so dead it was kind of sad. Started in the upper level and at half time I was able to move down to like 5 rows behind courtside lol

 

I know this Nuggets team is not going to be a playoff team this year, but I like Malone and some of their players. I think they are going with the Jazz model for building a team as they lack the go-to star player. Mudiay is their biggest question right now. His lack of outside shooting and propensity to turn it over are pretty apparent right now. He needs to focus on making the guys around him better so that things look a little more fluid and put together.

 

He actually shot really well from 3 at the game, haven't looked up his numbers for the rest of the year so far but he looked good. He made some absolutely boneheaded decisions passing the ball though which led to quite a few turnovers. He definitely does not look to have any sort of leadership quality yet but hopefully that will turn around.

 

I looked up his basic per game stats, PER, and basic shooting stats on ESPN, and it reads: 15 ppg, 3 assists, and 5 rebounds for a PER of 8.9. FG% is 34% and 3P% is 33%. Looks like you saw an outlier performance.

 

Welp

 

If LRMAM can hit shots like he's been hitting all year the Clippers are going to be a real problem

 

Phil Jackson is going through a little meltdown in NY it looks like. He's not done much there and is now going after LeBron and his group. Seems a little odd he was so candid about something that didn't even involve him in the first place.

 

This Hornets Wolves game is SO good.

Frank the Tank!!

 

Frank droppin 20 bones tonight

 

Also Kemba Walker is a beast this season

 

Wiggins tho

 

Wiggins is so damn fun.

 

3rd quarter strikes again

 

Jimmy Butler just keeps getting better. What a grinder.

 

Kemba averaging over 25 points, 5 assists, 45% FG, and 45% from 3.

Only other player doing that is Steph.

 

Yesterday was the first Charlotte game I watched all season. I'm going to have to watch more for Kemba.

 

Butler is an assist away from doing that, which surprises me.

 

Has the ESPN score bar looked like this all year?

 

I was wondering the same thing.

 

Toronto doesn't run any plays. Just 1 on 1

 

He's amazing
