The Sacramento Kings are having a pretty good year so far building on what they were able to accomplish last year. Now they’re saying that they are going to get aggressive at the trading deadline but I’m not sure who is available that that could target. Maybe DeMar DeRozan but I’m not sure how well he would fit into their offense.

I'm not sure if trading for another superstar will help them improve their roster, because what I can see with them since last year is that they need time to gel together and figure out how to win games in the playoffs. They already have a solid team chemistry that compliments each and every pieces in their roster. If they want to make a trade for another superstar, it would most probably going to involve Keegan Murray, Kevin Huerter, Malik Monk, Harris Barnes 1 or 2 of these players will get involved with the trade, we all know they won't send Sabonis and Fox away for a trade. Either of those 4 guys I've mentioned played a vital role for the team's success so far, so It's going to be gamble anyway. We've seen several teams who acquired 1-2 superstars recently, but didn't work well.

It’s not a good reason to hold back because his role was supposed to be dominating the paint not shooting 3s due to his height advantage. I know that some big man shooting nowadays but they dominate paint at the same time too like Chet.

Wemby on the other hand contributes a lot of turn over because he can’t secure properly the ball once he got it. He can’t be a good player design to right role for his height if he is afraid to have a contact since basketball is a physical sports. I remember reading an article which Coach Pop already stated that Wemby is avoiding a contact play.

We do need to remember that this new age of big man are not really dominating the paint all that much, there are some like Embiid maybe, but Chet is like 100 pounds soaking wet, that dude is not going to dominate anyone. How do you reckon he could back people up, he doesn't have any muscle at all, he is not going to be able to post anyone up, he is going to be ruined down low if he goes there. Whereas, if he shoots threes, him and wemby have that advantage, it would be nearly impossible to block them, probably on three pointers attempted, they will have the lowest amount of blocked shots ever, and they are not even getting their faces covered neither, people can barely reach to that.

So they will have a clear shot to take, I believe that's a good thing for them. I think it would be smart to consider them as the most important part of their team, even with not going inside for post ups, they are still managing to find points and that's a good thing for them.

I know the game is changing and maybe I'm old but being able to guard down low is key for a big man. In the playoffs specifically if ypu run into a team with a monster front court ypu are gonna get beat on the boards and paint points. Unless ypu tear through the playoffs shooting the lights out, relying on the 3 ball to take ypu home usually runs into a wall at some point. Have to imagine losing the rebounding advantage is a key determination of losing series.

Not that much participants on the poll and it shows that Sixers have got the best start for this season garnering 4 votes. While the rest are just like one, two and four votes only.

Just wanna express how funny that image I saw because I've missed the actual game about Westbrook dunking on Dillon Brooks on his face. LMAO!

Well, the poll was just for fun and it will always be, good thing that OP was still active here updating the thread. Yeah, I think Brooks got the taste of his own medicine on that dunk of Brody.

And as for Brooks, I even see someone posted that he's changed his name as "villain" LOL. I know that it's just for fun and memes but still I find it funny.

Well, I'm glad Clippers are in a good run now but will likely be doubtful considering it's just two consecutive wins, not a run to be proud of as of the moment especially for Clippers fans.

This super team is strong but we can see that it is going to take time for them to have that good coming together.

All of them want to win definitely but it's just that there's always something wrong when all of them are lead scorers.

My Chicago Bulls losing to the Miami Heat 118 to 100 last night was just another loss for the inevitable losable season. I mean what pathetic game they managed to half way put together. Laving only having 13 points, having only taken 9 shots total, I mean what in the fck?! I wonder if he pissed at the team and is purposely not making a lot of shot.

This thing is ugly, I just wish they'd blow it up sooner than later.

Last Sunday the Bulls won against Miami, so 1-1. This rematch Miami seemed to hit every three-pointer they attempted. The Chicago Bulls should consider trading with Zach LaVine; he doesn't seem to be putting in effort anymore. There's no defense, no rebounding definitely not worth all that money! He's like the James Harden Jr. of the Chicago Bulls. His style of play won't lead to any victories even in this seemingly easier league. Give Pat Williams more playing time a chance, and if he can't improve I recommend trading Zach LaVine. 🤣🤣 Zach Lavine is the problem of Bulls.

Finally, the Golden State Warriors ended their losing streak against the Houston Rockets. 121-116

Yeah, it put an end to their long losing streak, and it's a good thing that Thompson is performing well, especially when Wiggins is struggling. Curry and Thompson are the top scorers in this game, as expected from the Splash Brothers. It seems like the Rockets might be quite tired, considering their continuous traveling and now being on a three-game losing streak. Their last game at home is done, and the next one is against the Suns on the road. I wouldn't expect them to win, though, as the Suns have been playing great basketball. If they can't contain Durant and Booker, I think they'll likely face a tough challenge.

Yes, they ended up winning after that losing streak, good to see Splash Bro exchanging their attacks and really making their shots
it helps a lot in terms of bringing the sparks to the whole squad.

Plus we see everyone really trying to hassle up and help, aside from that high production of Steph almost everyone brings their own shares and provide additional help.

With a long way to go they just need to add more hassle and good ball movement to find that open man to take an easy shot.

The ball movement is great. 12 assists for Chris Paul. I like the change of strategy while using him.
If you all watched their recent games Steve Kerr always pairs CP3 and Saric because they are the ones with good chemistry. Today it was different CP3 was passing everywhere and a lot of times it was CP3 and Steph, unlike their previous games. Maybe Steve Kerr realized it's time to implement that strategy especially now that Steph doesn't have a pair without Draymond Green on their screen and roll play.

It worked out just fine even though their points in the paint are way too low. The plan was just to spread the floor, give an open space to their sharpshooters, and play hardcore defense on the other side to get some stops.
But if you look at what happened because of that, Alperen Sengun scored 30 points because the Warriors were playing small ball. The first 30-pointer game of Sengun this season by dominating the paint.

Wemby is just hype while Chet is proving something as we can see on his well balance stats. OKC will have a better rum against SA so I’m sure Chet can build his stats even on scoring to beat Wemby that is not consistent on his game.

He gets this from the advice of veterans for sure especially those big men because once he suffers a major injury, it won't be the same anymore for him like Greg Oden. it's nice to not rush it right now because he has the skills and perseverance to become a star player in the future like any other big man who is famous in NBA history. He needed to take the stairs slowly but surely and just because he was hype to the sky, he needed to prove himself. that's not the right thing to do and this is just part of the business you need to learn from the veterans because what people say will not fill your pocket once you get seriously injured.

What you're saying is that Wemby isn't playing his best to avoid getting injured? I find that hard to believe. Just because we've seen him have some great games in the past doesn't mean we should speculate that he's deliberately holding back now to avoid getting injured. This competition is based on performance metrics, and from what I can see, Chet is already leading in that regard.

Yes, Chet might steal rookie of the year if teammates of Wemby are not defending on him,I am pretty sure Coach Pop have another strat for this. Chet have more efficiency on the floor than Wemby, Chet may be second in scoring but that can be improve and train. That’s why Chet Have a more chance to get the ROY. If he improve more and more then Chet will be the ROY.

Better rotation for Spurs and get a comeback for them. They have to defeat Clippers, Warriors, and Denver.

Agreed. Besides, OKC is more well balanced team and also Chet has dependable teammates while Wemby doesn’t. Wemby is avoiding contact and playing like a PG that’s why his team suffer because he is playing on his own.

The Spurs are on an 8-game losing streak as they again lost to the Clippers who won 2 straight games already 124-99.

6 players in double digits for the Clippers, and it seems like they're starting to build the chemistry already. I'm still impressed by Westbrook's adjustment to play off the bench. Wembanyama on the other hand is kind of struggling averaging only 18.5 PPG in those 8 losses. I mean I know that he's still a rookie, but the expectations around him especially with the Spurs fans are high. TBH, with how Chet, and Victor are playing, it seems like Chet is having an upper hand over him, and he might steal the ROY over him. Cheesy

Too early though, but still they on a losing streak currently.

It's 9 straight losses already mate. The Spurs are now the worst team in the Western Conference. And I expect the streak to continue since their next 3 games are against the Clippers again, the hungry Warriors in San Francisco, and the Nuggets in Denver. I am not sure if this was or a 12-losing streak is the worst in Spurs history.

If Chet somehow becomes the second scoring option in OKC then he'll have the chance to win. Right now, I still think Wemby gets it because everything in the team is centered on him. But I do hope Chet steals it, I always see him as the more mature and smarter player and it shows with his current efficiency.

For looking at that picture it will tell that Wemby will not win a rookie of the year for this season since he is surrounded by bad teammates which can't support him to do more better performance on the court. And Spurs offense is quiet predictable since most of the time they are relying on Wemby that's why their opponent find a counter action against him.

That's why its clear that Chet will win a rookie of the year this season since he have good teammates that can provide good numbers and he became OKC offense is quiet unpredictable that's why Chet can easily operate on the court and give more better output.

Nice to see the Warriors get a win and break their losing streak as the sudden losing streak for the Rockets continues. It’s like the league figured out how to beat them. The story of the night might be LaMelo Ball turning into a bonfire superstar in Charlotte as he helped lead them to a win over the Boston Celtics.

Westbrook already had experience performing as a bench player when he was with the Lakers. So, it should not be surprising that he can quickly adapt to his new role with the Clippers.

It's a smart move that they benched Westbrook or let him lead the second unit. Now, they're winning, and if we look at the big 3 in the starting lineup, their overall field goal percentage is now acceptable, with a combined 51% or 23/45 shooting. Granted, if you examine individual stats, Harden's numbers are struggling at 4-12, but we can overlook that considering he was the hero in the last game. That should be enough to overshadow his poor performance.

Quote from: dwyane36 on November 21, 2023, 01:45:11 AM

As for Victor, 18.5 points per game isn't only, it's a good result for a rookie. In fact, he's a rookie like other young players, and I think the expectations for him have been overblown by the media.

I hope he will not put too much pressure on himself, he was overhype by the media and the main reason to that is his height and that he got some move which we've seen in the recent games, but he's not ready yet, he still has a big room for improvement, starts with growing some muscle I guess.
