The Week 8 NBA Thread - where we should all congratulate the Lakers. Salt and vinegar optional.

[FreoRicci]

Warriors should just blow it up. But can’t see anyone wanting Green, Thompson or Wiggins

When we going to talk about the fact that Klay Thompson is up there with the most overrated players of all time.

Ama're Stoudamire still holds that distinction by a far margin.

Even Ama're had more strings to his bow than Klay.
Catch and shoot is all he can do.
At least Ama're could rebound, screen AND roll.

Wow what a dog Draymond is.

NBA need to throw the book at him.

Got to be a ten game suspension now

Klay played a significant part in 4 of The Dubs rings though

I can't call someone who is proven multiple world champion and playoff performer overrated, even if he has fallen off a cliff.

What the heck has happened to Wiggins, just adding absolutely nothing out there.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Clips are waxing the Kings

If Kawhi can stay healthy, LAC will cause problems.

Lue has finally worked out how Harden fits into this team and Theis is a pretty good signing for them

 

[peternorth]

my issue with klay is that the numbers on the back of his jersey are way too close together

 

[peternorth]

Mose Moody parts the defence!

 

[apollo_creed]

Ama're Stoudamire still holds that distinction by a far margin.

who overrates him?
he was never the same player after his early knee injury. never reached the level of explosiveness and athleticism he showed in his early seasons. was never a great defender and was never going to be but what he was offensively capable of was definitely impacted by that early surgery.

 

[apollo_creed]

Booker with another good night. Crickets from one.

Wait until he has an off night I guess.

 

[mattyc75]

Add Reeves to the foul baiting list. Didn’t realise he was this bad

Reeves is terrible for it

Embarassing from the Suns. Did the same thing the last time against the Warriors. Just pointless turnovers going for unnecessary hero passes with two minutes left on the clock. There's two requirements? 1# Use the ****ing clock, 2# don't turn it over.

They'd already done it once or twice. Poor coaching not to address it beforehand.

 

[apollo_creed]

Suns have legitimately stopped trying. Warriors just scoring easy lay-ups now. WTF...

 

[apollo_creed]

Booker and Beal on the floor with less than a minute on the clock and a lead and you have the ball.
Yeah Goodwin chuck up a contested three with 12 seconds on the clock.... or Nurkic go for the low degree of difficulty pass 3 seconds into the 24...

This is at least the 5th time the Suns have blown a lead by being stupid late in game this season already.

Absolutely deserve to lose this.

Respect to Steve Kerr for adjusting the playing minutes to his bench. I do find it really annoying that coaches will revert to the same lineups and rotations no matter what, particularly in the 4th quarter.

Also a little annoying Warriors seemed to have plucked another good draftee in that Podsiadly guy.

 

[FreoRicci]

No one wants or will every say it amongst NBA.

But Dryamond Green has serious serious anger issues. He needs to attend anger management.
That hit on Poole was assault and should’ve been criminally charged.

 

[Slysh]

When we going to talk about the fact that Klay Thompson is up there with the most overrated players of all time.

Never? One of the best shooters of all time, integral part of 4 chips. One of the better 2 way players at his peak. Him being past his best doesn’t change the fact his best was very very good.

Dryamond is not aging gracefully one may suggest.

who's the one?

 

[apollo_creed]

Elmer.

Thanks for Vogel btw

The Dubs are wild.

Dunno if I've ever seen a team where the starting group has gone from elite to abysmal in the space of six months, while the bench has been transformed from putrid to powerful in the exact same timespan.
