Ryo 73 Report post Posted December 18, 2016 There was some noise about the Cavs resting their guys augainst Memphis, how did you feel? Lakers finally got a win in December (thank god) injuries have hindered them though so hopefully they get the full strength Embiid looks like the ROY so far The Knicks are 4th in the East, same record as the Celtics for 3rd...big year so far for Rose it's great to see Rose productive after all those injuries I've always been a fan GSW still looks good, so nothing new there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted December 18, 2016 Here is the thing Im all for resting players like every 10th-15th game depending on the flight sched. The guys feel tired and pain. And do folks realize how much training in between there is. They are entertainment vut still human. There is no reason to push beyond that point and get hurt. Its sad that the fans wont be able to see them but what you gonna do. Im still waiting for gsw to rest their players And they should D is not looking good They should bring in kobe when they come back to LA for the long HS Show them at least mam to man D But the future is bright Gad the lakers sign KD there wouldnt be any probs like this He could close the game Kid reminds of hakeem Its just I hope he can play more minutes in the future and not be limitet cause of past injuries Which brings me to The lakers should trade deng for noel That would be sweet at this moment The east is all kinds of crazy right now 1,2 are a clear guess But the rest... The knicks are worse then what i expected Noah isnt playing the way i thought he would and thats a drag for them But i do like the bucks Giannis is in 2 years the next lebron They should at some point give the bench more games Get some d leaguers And rest the 4 superstars they have Have you seen the cba agreement My god Apsurd amount And to break up gsw Will anyone take a pay cut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted December 27, 2016 Warriors/Cavs was a really good Christmas game...warriors blew a 14 point lead. Kyrie hitting big shots. Woo that dunk by Jefferson on Klay haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted December 27, 2016 the refs suck they made like a bunch of stupid mistakes still you cant blow a 14pt lead play brutal D in the 4th kyrie sucks without lebron he cant beat anyone and this is a testament to how great lebron really is man did he dunked on him brutal but before he got a T...for dunking...wtf but that last play should have been a foul its not like last year KD didnt get called for a less then this one, the 2 FTs that iggy made for OT i really really hate the refs in games like these i think like green and someone got tangled below the rim and the ref there called it but went to the one at the center line to ask what did you see i think warriors are talent vise better but in their heads they are weak and most of those TOs are zazas fault just catch the damn ball Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted December 30, 2016 Yeah the refs need to do a better job on calling big games. Kyrie had a big game against the Celtics last night. Still feel like there's no real threat to the Cavs yet in the East (as of right now.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted December 30, 2016 with the cavs as they are the only thread to them would be the bucks if the acquire some good bigs down low fundamental bball bigs other than that nothing whatsoever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 7, 2017 Man the Warriors should've beat the Grizzlies last night Up by 2 and KD goes into ISO Draymond was NOT happy about that...even if it was a designed play you could tell he wanted the ball in Curry's hands Good win for the Lakers, about time they don't blow a lead for once Bucks had a really good game against the Knicks, got the W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 7, 2017 Its fine. They are a great team and will figure something out at the end of the season. But Green was right, Steph and KD should play more pick and pops/roll/go/oops. At this point i think the ball should be in KDs hands, just so that he can make something that will break the blockade in his head. But Steph has to play better too, not just score. Im happy and angry with the lakers. Ok they are still a work in progress but at this point you gots to play some D better Bucks need more depth then this Parker and Giannis aint enough So im wondering what the cavs will be like now will JR fit in with Korver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 7, 2017 They'll be fine, but Draymond was right, which made it funny lol plus KD is dumb for that play, you're 6'10 and have z-bo on you, take it to the basket, not pull up smh The defense is a work in progress. Just gotta deal with the growing pains until the team starts clicking in a few years I like the Korver trade. Very good pickup. He should be able to get off plenty of 3's within that offense Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 7, 2017 I guess he is still cleansing him self from the OKC plays they drew for him. He will be better once the playoffs start Im for not trading any of the players except Mozgov, deng, mo, nick i would love if we kept the young ones maybe while JR is out the thing is JR plays a lot, who knows how they will work efficiently when having to share minutes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 8, 2017 The young core should stay in tact. I think Randle has looked the best out of the 4 guys this year, IMO They had good timing on this trade since JR is out. Feel bad for JR, first his thumb, and now his family issues, hope he gets past all of this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 8, 2017 Russell is also geting better after the knee probs They will be much better when ingram gets in to his role It is sad He will cime out ok All star votes suck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted November 2, 2017 Time to bring this back from the dead! aaaaaand....go! I'm loving how aggressive Porzingis has been so far into the season. He's clearly THE guy to build around. Even though it's only November, Cavs don't look too good. Yeah, they'll make the finals, but this team just looks uninspired on the court. I'm not sold on D-Wade, D-Rose, Thomas, etc. All liabilities on defense. Don't think Bron can carry this team again to a W in the finals, the Warriors should clean them up again no doubt. One team I do like: 76ers. Ben Simmons is a stud man. He looks better right now that what most people expected. Embiid looks good too. If they can just stay healthy, they'll be nice. Lakers 3-4. Good win against the Pistons (who have beaten quality teams this year). I'm a Kuzma fan (he was great in the Summer League), and I think Ball will get better throughout the season. Same goes for Ingram. Gonna be an interesting season to watch. Giannis: Monster. Celtics started slow (offense, hayward injury, etc), but are hitting their stride right now. 6-2. Surprise team right now: Orlando Magic. Playing really well. 6-2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted November 3, 2017 Porzingis is a bigger and nimbler version of Dirk, and dirk was great in his day The only reason they will get to the finals is because no east team is constructed like the best of the west, so its easy for him to take them over with little help if by some chance gsw and cavs play in the finals, the gsw will score on them with ease steph would just score on IT all game long and im not sure that IT would be able to hit back because its a different team then boston also i wish he would play for the money and not ring you see guys like JR getting green, while having a PER of -0.1 that is apsurd, -0.1 Rose has been playing well but sucks on D simmons looks like magic, hovering over everyone embiid kinda has a reserved role this season but i guess that cause more players are back fultz sucks, i dont want to say this but he might be one of their high bust picks kuzma continues to impress hope he gets to start a lot is writing for ingram thi season ball can pas and grab but he cant score thats a shame giannis is so long and athletic he walks in the paint and lays it in boston will fight till the end but wont do much orlando has become a good team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted November 4, 2017 Yeah JR has been horrible this year. They put a minutes restriction on Embiid that's why. I don't think Fultz is a bust, he has a shoulder injury. Gotta let him rehab then we can see. Ball needs to be more aggressive. You can be the greatest passer, but no PG in this league should have two shot attempts. Unacceptable. Needs to work on that shot as well. Celtics looking good especially after that win last night against OKC. Especially on the defensive end, where everyone thought it would take a step back.

Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted November 4, 2017 how are the gonna win if he is restricted well, injuries or not i dont like his game could be wrong ball is lucky great playmaking skills but is lucky as hell boston is amazing, their couch is great i hope he, like pop, exposes the cavs weekness Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted November 5, 2017 He's playing 25-30 mins and they've won 4 out of their last 5 games. They're just being cautious with him, even if he may not like it. I'm sure it'll increase. Remember, they have Simmons, Covington, Saric, etc. He can't really be a bust yet he's played four games. That's why his FG% was so low I'm sure the shoulder injury didn't help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted November 6, 2017 finally ingram is playing like he should but i do hate that ball is shooting all those 3s he cant hit anything best to set some guys up instead of shooting man the cavs look bad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted November 8, 2017 Yeah Ingram has been solid so far this year. Shooting well. Lonzo looked bad a few days ago. 1-8 on 3PT 3/13 FG right he can be a really good playmaker, but he needs to hit the gym and work on that shot cuz Cavs got the win against the Bucks, but that defense is still bad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted November 8, 2017 OKC looks bad, just its ball movement wizards are no dark horse GSW back on track porzingis plays like bird Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted November 9, 2017 I'm not a fan of what they're doing. Like a one pass offense. No flow. Like you said, no ball movement. Still waiting on the Wizards to go to the next level. All talk. Porzingis ballin this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted November 9, 2017 shame players are getting injured it disrupts the team you know what might be good if lakers and knicks swap deng and noah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted November 9, 2017 No way we don't need Noah lol Deng is looking for a trade or buyout Honestly one of the Laker mistakes in the past few years. That contract was bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted November 10, 2017 the buyout is not cheep, that why i suggest a Russian rulet type of luck with noah now the lakers might loose randel, which is a shame cause he plays good this season the cavs suck lost to houston whos best players shot bad and has or the had 3 players in rotation for the game and thats just to rest the starters a bit okc needs to fire donovan and find someone else Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted November 10, 2017 We don't need any players like Noah They expected an amnesty in the new CBA but got their hopes up Those deng/mozgov deals are exactly why I'm glad Buss and Kupchak are gone. Boneheads. Signing two older guys to those big contracts. At this point, it's just expected that the Cavs lose. OKC is a mess. No team ball at all. Donovan needs to shoulder the blame.
