yeah I enjoyed that, several ILH faves

Kawhi probably my favorite of that group.
I mostly enjoy thinking about Gobert. The majesty of him.

i used to be a wade hater in pretty much all facets but i agree now that his game is actually fun to watch
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 17 March 2015 20:41 (nine years ago) link
i always loved wades elegance hes just so smooth, the taking defensive possessions off to confer with the refs not so much

Wade is a disgrace

The elegance of falling down intentionally on your fadeaways
the regal beauty of intentionally tripping your opponent and then falling on his head

Prime Wade was definitely one of my fav players to watch for sure
― 龜, Tuesday, 17 March 2015 21:46 (nine years ago) link
wade has done some inexcusable things but he is also very beautiful, are these qualities mutually exclusive, only god can answer

monta ellis with authority
slumping post allstar & until recently, but such a terror this year more often than not, finesse and agility for days

let the record state i was the original steph fan back when he had a last name, also i got what i wanted and hated it

amazing
― Spottie, Friday, 10 November 2017 21:52 (six years ago) link
i, for one, am glad to have goon back on board with the warriors being the funnest team in the league. i could probably find like 80 posts about him hating on Kyrie to counter his current addition to this thread as well.
― Spottie, Friday, 10 November 2017 21:53 (six years ago) link
ha i dont think ive devoted too much time to hating kyrie, and while ive been enjoying his time in boston for the record he def constantly does some horrible things that im hoping he can mostly ween himself off, like standing there dribbling without even making a move then just shooting a contested three as the shot clock sounds, overall he really hasnt been that good so far tbh, but he also does like five unreal things every game that are just really entertaining, watching him dribble is so cool lol hes not like other players
― lag∞n, Friday, 10 November 2017 21:59 (six years ago) link
yeah his dribbles are madness. im finally willing to concede the best in the league crown from curry to him.
― Spottie, Friday, 10 November 2017 22:04 (six years ago) link
Kyrie definitely has flaws but he is so damn fun to watch, his handles and some of the shots that he pulls off are just absolutely beautiful. Cavs are significantly less fun so far and I blame dudes like Derrick Rose but most of it is because Kyrie is gone
― marcos, Friday, 10 November 2017 22:08 (six years ago) link
everything he does has a unique kyrieness to it like hell hold the ball a fraction of a beat longer than normal on a shot and then it just pops out and splashes the bottom of the net
― lag∞n, Friday, 10 November 2017 22:12 (six years ago) link
also something abt the way he moves constantly untucks his jersey
― lag∞n, Friday, 10 November 2017 22:13 (six years ago) link
the funnest team in the league.
I don't know. I guess I don't like blowouts that much? I root for them but I don't love watching them pick apart lottery teams.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 10 November 2017 22:20 (six years ago) link
now that theyre not playing D they might be kinda cool, a 135-137 game v the rockets sounds ok
― lag∞n, Friday, 10 November 2017 22:22 (six years ago) link
no they are playing d now. for one half a game at least. just enough to blow teams out.

yeahi hear you. i was kinda excited when they were losing this year cos they had some fun close games.
― Spottie, Friday, 10 November 2017 22:36 (six years ago) link
kyrie has been an interesting case study this year in at least as far as the stats/eye test divide goes, seems like he’s very comfortable being the primary guy and people are really fixating on his positive attributes, yet his numbers are more or less the same iirc. otoh the celtics are winning and sources say he’s trying on defense, so maybe there is something going on there
― k3vin k., Monday, 13 November 2017 18:26 (six years ago) link
his raw boxscore numbers are actually down i think
― Spottie, Monday, 13 November 2017 18:31 (six years ago) link
his numbers are worse! (cause hes not hitting his 3s) but defensive effort is def way better
i wld say he looked wildly uncomfortable in his role to start the season but has started to find his groove as wld be expected w adjusting to a new team/system but isnt nearly totally integrated yet, still has tons of awful offensive possessions mostly to do w playing way too much iso, he waves off screens all the time which seems dumb to me just use the screen its easier, and hes been great in the pnr
― lag∞n, Monday, 13 November 2017 18:32 (six years ago) link
walks the ball up the court too much burns clock w pointless dribbling etc
― lag∞n, Monday, 13 November 2017 18:34 (six years ago) link
tho sometimes he does that let the ball roll all the way up the court before touching it thing to save the shot clock thing which is p cool, theres really no reason just to use it on a short clock i mean picking the ball up past half court with a full 24 is a pretty huge advantage

i used to love watching peak-era D-Rose but i'm pretty sure he's in the top 3 most painful NBA players to watch now.
