You might want to look at the talent NY knicks had vs Sixers talent; both times Embiid was also a shell of himelf. You are acting as if NyKnicks didn't lose to Indy twice as well. And by the way what does losing to OG 2x has to do w/my comment? OG is 1/10 player; it's a team gm.
NN was is firmer HC; has been a part of OG's NBA career more tgan any other HC itl. He knows his move, etc. like a book. He even have a few pages in his book: Rapture dedicated to OG's offense.
That's why I use by knowledge of statistics and do research on data apllications; know when to apply disclaimers and know that's rule #1 when dealing with data; data is not the holy rail and must always comes with a disclaimer.
This is what happens when you run with agenda from an app who keeps changing data like the wind change directions w/ no warnings and disclaimer. This is the same app that has Shead over SB and CMB as better defender. #sad
It was his 3rd yr when @Raptors chose to be competitive and his usage was scaled down that he failed to meet the team's expectations+ I might had his own when compared to his abilities+draft position.He has a high bb iq,good bb fundamentals+positional fit so I hope he sticks itl.
Gradey's 2nd half of his rookie season + yr 2 was very good; so much so that it was reported that @Raptors FO, including ex-President Masai viewed him as untouchable. Although he wasn't shooting the ball at a high clip he was been guarded on the perimeter as a "budget Steph C".
Raps was never going select him. I rather Graves. Too much hype on some of these scoring guards witg handles coming out the draft, only to get fizzled out after yr 2. Graves imo will have the longevity itl + his positional fit, understanding of bb fundamentals+bb iq is a big+.
What? Gradey was drafted the year prior and was ranked by many to be the best shooter ( movement) along with other valuable skills and his 3 yrs with Raps did not even shoot above league average + gotten more respect when guarded as a shooter than Dalton. Please
He is Kawhi's ex-team mate when he was a Spur and also Darko knows him from his time in Memphis. Also want to add that he has a high bb iq+ understands bb fundamentals, he is a connector, and an underrated passer and leader w/tonnes of playoff experience( which is an asset).
Raptors already have Kyle Anderson, the vet that will likely not be in regular rotation. Why should they had another even if they had the $. Yes. He is Canadian but the team is looking to go deep(contend). They need to add player/ trade for player(s)that is ideally 2 way player.
Basket ball is more than scoring and PPG. Although RJ is going into year 8 and CMB his 2 yr, CMB has a higher bb iq and understands bb fundamentals and carry those out on the court in ways that RJ hasn't. Learn to school yourself before you come try to school me.The nerve!!
Please read my comments and look up my profile. I am not a johnny come lately to the sports nor am I beholden to ankther person. I have a mine of my own. Go and study bb foubdations, fundamentals and techniques perhaps uou will learn a thing or two and apply it to the game.
What was RJ's usage + effective field goal % for the 1st 5 games BI was on the court and ehat was it for the last 2 games? Who were the primary natch up or defenders on RJ games 1-5 and 6-7. I like your analysis but I would like more context.
These are the type of comments that I was alluding to yesterday @samfolkk. It's good to provide analysis but when you don't give context this is what happen.Who was on the court with RJ when he won those mins?Were the line upshas players that was more offensive/ defense slanted?
Give me Kawhi b/c we know he is clutch and a closer when the lights are bright. Kawhi is the better 2 way player; he is just older. The only thing Giannis has over Kawhi is younger by 4 yrs, a little more health and rim pressure.The NBA world will see if both are healthy.
@Klow7 forever. He don't quit and wants to win every game by any legal means necessary. When we hear "We the North" we should also hear Kyle's name.
