some sentiment out there that the coaches would reward a guy doing well under thibs

coaches like it when a guy gets coached up perhaps

sabonis is closer to 21/11/5 ftr. probably deserves it over vooch but everybody scores a lot now

like all of this season's "snubs" have better stats than all the other snubs this century
― Wayne Grotski (symsymsym), Thursday, 25 February 2021 04:58 (three years ago) link
The game has sped up and more players deliver a higher level of skill because of better training and more competition. The stats follow this trend, too.

also it's a pandemic with no homecourt and no one is playing defense

oops, meant to say that hes the first 20-10-5 to miss the asg.

trae young is at 27/4/9.5 and missed it...bad fg pct, but any other year a player who put that up would be in
― Wayne Grotski (symsymsym), Thursday, 25 February 2021 05:42 (three years ago) link
i think the problem w trae is what if hes a lil weiner and also hes maybe the worst defender in the league
― class project pat (m bison), Thursday, 25 February 2021 12:53 (three years ago) link
He’s actually improved a lot on D this year! Still not amazing bc yes he’s also a lil wiener
― Heez, Thursday, 25 February 2021 14:13 (three years ago) link
hes a genuinely awful defender obviously dealing with some major physical limitations but also the effort is very poor
― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 February 2021 14:22 (three years ago) link
which i mean he carries a big offensive load so maybe its just not worth it
― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 February 2021 14:32 (three years ago) link
he will prob get up to passable/nobody quite cares anymore like dame, steph, harden etc
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 February 2021 15:25 (three years ago) link
his bigger issue is that his teammates don’t seem to love him based on things that have leaked out which you’d never say about steph and dame

steph is a good/solid defender now btw.

i guess the league just hates him now huh?
Last year, Trae Young was an All-Star starter with 2,829,969 fan votes (most among East guards) and 65 player votes (3rd among East guards).This year, he got just 991,857 fan votes (6th among East guards) and 20 player votes (11th among East guards). 👀 https://t.co/LorbANwW2H— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) February 24, 2021

lol maybe its possible to shame players into not foul grubbing
― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 February 2021 15:58 (three years ago) link
seems like there is a widespread perception now that trae is the heir of harden's choppy/ugly/selfish/foul-drawing offensive game
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 25 February 2021 16:10 (three years ago) link
the player backlash is understandable but i’m surprised by the fan stuff it seemed like kids especially fucked w him super hard (but maybe kids don’t vote for the ASG)
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 February 2021 16:16 (three years ago) link
nash really screwed him with that quote

I totally get the trae hate from the players. There was a stretch during the Boston game last night where he scored off throwing an inbounds pass off a defenders back, bated jaylen into fouling him on a three while clocking him in the face and then drew a tech from smart who was barking at him from the bench. Not a lot of love there
― Heez, Thursday, 25 February 2021 21:28 (three years ago) link
he was trying to nutmeg everyone last season. cant remember which og finally checked him on that
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Thursday, 25 February 2021 21:41 (three years ago) link
the nutmeg stuff feels like baseball style “unwritten rules” posturing bcuz trae does it for legitimate reasons (turning his shortness into an advantage when centers are up high on the pick and roll). i was never with ppl shaming him for that. the foul baiting stuff is different to me bcuz it cheapens and uglies the game just from an aesthetic and enjoyability POV
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 February 2021 21:46 (three years ago) link
yah i was a fan of the nutmegs

Nutmegs rock
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 25 February 2021 23:45 (three years ago) link
I don't think the NBA cares much about unwritten rules, everyone loves this

That play should be the logo
nutmegs are awesome and if some mad vet wants to give you a shoulder as you attempt to retrieve the nutmeg, also awesome

those clips are illustrative of a really useful concept for the layman who wants to understand bad defense--how when presented with the decision to move to point A or point B, it is possible to choose the wrong point every single time.

bagley is so bad I’m not sure he’s gonna figure it out
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Friday, 26 February 2021 03:01 (three years ago) link
they're trying to play him at center but it's really not fair to anyone, it's like if i put one of my cats in the car and asked him to drive me to the store.

bagley was pretty dominant in college but there basically hasn’t been a single thing that would indicate he’s going to be a positive NBA player. i don’t know what any optimism would even be rooted in at this point
― J0rdan S., Friday, 26 February 2021 04:48 (three years ago) link
feel like you’ll rarely see as striking a demonstration of NBA players being taught to fan out to the 3 on fast breaks now than that nuggets possession
