Oso planning to go pro
He said best shooting team ever assembled. That’s all I was objecting to. Not the overall dominance of the team in totality, which is undeniable
At this point I do not think anyone can beat the Buck's in a seven game series. As noted, only way to beat them is to outshoot them and that can be done from time to time, but not in seven game series. If they stay healthy and do not win the whole thing I will be disappointed. That said, the death of Kobe has me worried about the Lakers. I could see them swinging for the fences to win it for Kobe.
Khris has been really good this year, but he turns it up a notch when Giannis is out. They aren't exactly complementary talents, so it's fun to watch when Khris is given the keys. Dude can score from wherever he wants
No idea who is on what team
All y'all Bucks fans got a hell of a guy in Marvin Williams.Super smart, a real leader, and the exact opposite of "ego-driven." He's obviously lost a step or three, but he is very good at positional defense, and he's a connect-the-dot guy on offense. He's what every teammate he's ever had calls a "true professional." I think he still has a little left in the tank, and I hope so because the Bucks would really benefit if he does.
Was actually having a discussion about him earlier in the season with a buddy of mine. People had been inclined to label him a "bust" of sorts earlier in his career, cause he didn't have the kind of career people expect out of a top 2 pick. They ignore that he was super raw and wasn't even a top 3 option on that 2005 UNC champ team. He's been a pretty consistent player, aside from a bad fit his short time in Utah, and developed in the NBA. I think he also unfortunately played on pretty bad teams his whole career. He's been a good 10-5 guy who has improved his shooting over the last decade actually turned into a nice 3pt option the last few years. I think he should actually fit in very well.Unrelated, unfortunately he's been getting attention for a very justified outburst at officials after that joke of a finish in the Blazers-Jazz game, but Dame Lillard has been absolutely unconscious. In 2020, hes averaging 35-5-8 a game and a stupid 46% from 3. Over his last 10 games? 42 a game and 52% from 3. Thats including 2 games where he went 1-6 and 3-9 and scored 21 and 26 respectively. Take those out, 46 and 55% from 3 over his last 8. Thats just video game mode. He's probably my favorite player in the league when he goes nuclear, just must watch TV.
Fun 4th quarter of All-Star Game. Guys played hard.I like that they named the MVP award after Kobe. Kawhi showed real emotion after winning it.
I wonder if anyone does a time study today to determine which was longer - the National Anthem or the Irishman.Somewhere today, Rosanne is rolling over in her grave laughing.
The irony of a guy who just sat out an entire season to force his way out of a city he won a championship with, one of the best run franchises in the history of the NBA with one of the greatest coaches in the history of the sport coaching it, because he didn't think they could attract the start talent he needed next to him to win titles, who now requires about 20% of his season be "load management" to save himself for the Playoffs, winning the "Koby Bryant All Star MVP Award" (which, in my opinion, the Koby tributes were overkill, but that's another argument) is not lost on me. Koby ran stars out of town because he couldn't stand sharing the glory, and then went out and won Titles with lesser talent. I'd also love to hear Koby talk about the idea of "load management." A guy who went and shot his free throws after he tore his achilles and shot the ball left handed the rest of a game when he messed up his right shoulder mid game.Someone like Giannis or Westbrook (whose game I can't stand, but at least I can respect that he would go hard playing against a bunch of old men at a YMCA if he walked into one) are the type of players Koby was. Kawhi? Nah.
If the Bucks get the Middleton of the regular season in the Playoffs they might not lose a game until the Finals.
