lol jordan not sure how you can read what you wrote and say his reputation as a team cancer isnt well deserved, theres literally an incident at every stop, he drove a mvp winner out in this season alone, he didnt just take some time off last year he was awol the team had no idea what he was doing

he had a press conference where he said he didnt care about the nba lmao

lebron got more votes than curry in 2015 which is just flat out ridiculous, how is anyone on the losing team even an option to vote for?

he averaged 36/13/9/1 on 40/31/68 splits btw

bron put up huge numbers but ultimately he had to do too much so shot pretty poorly and lost lol

hah he seriously just poof disappeared last season forgot about that. nash has probably shaved like 3 years off his life coaching kyrie harden and kd lol

lol poor steve he deserves to coach a team of nice normal guys who play hard and like basketball, on the other hand no one forced him to take the job

remember kyrie’s Instagram live stuff from like… 3 months ago

the best part of kyrie going underground was when a relative posted a video of him chilling at some family birthday party, he was out there doing normal stuff, forgot to call in i guess

probably coulda had the job monty has now xp

nba has seen some sweet heaters this season, add in embiid, derozan, giannis, luka, ja all have had them too.

another one under the radar right now is de'aron fox, been ballin since the trade. Shae had one going until last night too. NBA is full of good players rn love to see it.

dece nums

will say for those who are not close celtics watchers its not just a matter of tatum being hot but his game has really evolved hes playing much more in the team concept making quick reads hardly ever pounding the ball, very cool to see

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WzU68GYOAY

he does go into hero mode towards the end of the video but he was on one and could not miss, and even his iso stuff is so much crisper and purposeful now

also btw

Al Horford now leads the league in defensive impact per 100 possessions, per our D-LEBRON metric!

2-5 are Draymond, Gobert, Turner, and Covington.https://t.co/pL4CtvkPUL https://t.co/vOQzF7ffiR

— BBall Index (@The_BBall_Index) March 10, 2022

eye tests backs this up too imho, not that hes been the best defender in the world but that hes been really good

no shots at you or al horford but "defensive impact per 100 possessions" lol lord help us. i need to post this link now

wow that is a very... impactful blog

it’s the antithesis of, say, giannis, who got dissed by harden for being so freakishly athletic that he only needs a bare minimum of skill to be dominant.

okay I gotta push back on this some, NBA history is littered with freakishly athletic guys who just couldn't develop the technique or court vision or b-ball smarts to make it - a lot of them wound up on the Bucks, hell Giannis's brother is arguably one of those guys. yes Giannis has a big advantage in that he can literally just dunk over anyone's head but his game had to develop into so much more than that - the series they lost vs. Boston where Horford shut him down shows why he needed much more than a "bare minimum of skill". he's worked hard on his shooting and passing, he can no-look the open man like LeBron and is arguably the top defensive player in the league as well. anyway not implying you agree with Harden's criticism but I always found it obnoxious, especially since it was coming from a guy whose edge comes from being really good at drawing bullshit fouls and grinding the game to a halt. anyway just one Bucks fan's opinion

yeah its silly like people saying shaq had no game

if having giannis body was automatic nba stardom he prob would gone higher than 15

i dont think youll find anyone on ilh that agrees with harden on that front xxp. jordan was just explaining how other players perceive other players or talk about them

wiggins looking like he wants to retire after reaching his pinnacle of becoming an all star

yeah I know Jordan, who is a smart NBA guy, does not feel that way, but I'm curious if anyone but Harden thinks that. iirc he said that immediately after losing to the Bucks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z4U0M7VpVQ

cade highlights from last night putting up a 27-8-6

coming into the draft his shooting was supposed to give him a high floor but he started out the season shooting really poorly. it’s starting to normalize a bit now and if teams have to respect his three he’s gonna carve defenses up. he almost has a luka-ish energy in the speed at which he plays but with less annoying tendencies. putting up 23-8-6 on 44/36/90 splits in the month of march & you have to feel like those shooting numbers are only gonna get better.

yeah i was getting strong luka vibes, hes nimble where luka is physical but has that same quality of playing at his own pace and controlling the game by making good reads

season leader in PPG right now is....LeBron James

*lebron james kid voice* lebron james

"but I'm curious if anyone but Harden thinks that."

It's easier to be successful at basketball if you're taller. Shaq didn't have to be as skilled as Iverson needed to be. Yet it's impossible to be a great NBA player if all you have going for you is height. Shaq had skills. Just not as many/not as well developed as Iverson. 15% or whatever of 7 footers make it to the NBA n all.

trae had 47 last night. KD 53.

saturday night we had fox 41 and clarkson 45 and uhhh josh hart 44/8/6

Trae got 33 of those in the first half

Trae 46/12 the very next night

KAT tonight:

60 PTS (franchise record)
17 REB
19-31 FG
7-11 3P

He joins Shaq and Wilt as the only centers in NBA history with a 60/15 game. pic.twitter.com/BCsLobl51O
