Damn, this real.
 
Clippers broadcast team + Don McLean are roasting Byron right now.


I need more broadcasters to unload on Byron as the season progresses.
I've always felt that if you take a PG high in the draft, you should give him the keys if you're still far away from contention.

They can sit & watch from the bench & study film all they want to. There's no substitute for in-game experience. Give him the keys & let him go. You're 30 games under .500 man cmon :lol:

- Like I said before in this thread, I'm completely sold on Towns. Health permitted, he's a star. Franchise cornerstone. 

- Last night's explosion by Lance was hardly random. He's been good for the clippers all season. The Core Four plus lance post a 115 offensive rating, with a 95 defensive rating. Somewhere along the line, doc went away from it because, doc. How the Clippers use Lance and Wes in relation to Luc and PP will go a long way in terms of deciding their faith

- The thunder are overwhelmingly good. Off of the brilliance of Westbrook and Durant alone they could get into the WCF. However, their defense is something that you have to watch for. They are giving up over 103 points per game in 2016 and it's not like they've had to go through a Murder's row of opponents. Andre Roberson, who on the surface may look insignificant, means quite a bit to this team. Their starting lineup with Roberson post a 113 offensive rating with a 91 defensive rating. It's the thunder's best lineup.That same lineup, with Dion instead of Andre post a defensive rating of a 102. His injury may hurt the thunder more than they think in the coming weeks.

Welp, there they are. My jimmies. All rustled and what not.

Been feeling what he said FOR YEARS. Been doing it since ADIDAS!! Cant even post in my own team's thread because they're all (mostly) drinking the Farewell Kool-Aid.

But nah. Don't count.

I don't know how you beat the Spurs or Warriors 4 times if you're only an average defensive team, and 1 of your 2 best players has a tendency to throw away possessions with questionable shots.

And as far as Roberson, in a seven game series against an elite defensive team, he's gonna be unplayable. He can't dribble shoot or pass. He's gonna make life harder for their stars. So they need to figure it out without him. They don't want the playoffs to be the first time they have to play without him.

Now that's a catch 22 because I just said they're an average defensive team & in the same breath I said they'll have to sit one of their top defenders.

So in the end what you have is a fatally flawed team.

And shoeking2102 shoeking2102 I don't know where you found that Andre Roberson news, or stat or article, but please man, don't ever repeat that their Best lineup is with Roberson because it yields a 91 defensive rating, you will get murdered in the streets.


You're cool so I want to help you out here, Roberson can't and should not be played, I don't care what kind of numbers can be found to support it(though I don't believe there is any legit support numbers wise for playing him)

The Roberson pick is probably the first nail in Presti's coffin. Please don't go look at who got drafted after a 2nd round Roberson who was taken in the 1st round

How do you draft a 3 and D guy that can't shoot or defend?

That's like a prostitute that doesn't give brain or allow penetration.

I think OKC feels like they have to play him because they drafted him. Actually, I don't know why OKC plays him, lost on this one. Dude is terrible at everything. Not sure but taking a guess, I bet he shoots 14% from 3pt and is top 5 in the League in points given up per game to opposing SG's, our 3 and D guy.
 
My guy Lance showing up last night. Would be shocked if he logged another minute the rest of the season doe.

This is your team, so I'm going to let you live.

The Thunder are a below average defense. However, in over 500 minutes together this season, the thunder starting 5 with Roberson post a 91 defensive rating. That is literally top 3 in the entire NBA.

If you can't see the value in that, then I don't know what to tell you. Now as steelo alluded to, playing GSW, or SAS or LAC in a 7 gamer may alter his value, but that's why the Thunder are flawed. They are borderline horrid defensively when he isn't on the floor, and borderline elite defensively when he is. 

And I don't know where you're getting that Andre can't defend. The eye test supports it, and defenders are shooting 6% lower when guarded by Roberson this year. 

The Thunder this year are a +22 when Roberson is on the floor. Among lineups that have played over 500 minutes together this year, that's basically tops in the league. Now the fact the Thunder's best lineups entail having Roberson on the floor again alludes to how fatally constructed this team is, but there's no denying that he's important to what they do.

His numbers Per36 are well above solid for a Rookie PG.

It pisses me off thinking how much significantly better he'd be if he was given the keys, allowed to make mistakes without being pulled, and communication with his coach instead of Byron being a horrible coach.

"When you do retire, are you gonna do that thing, where go on a good will tour of all the teams you've played against?

"That's just not in my nature, man. ... I don't want to play through a year where everybody knows you're retiring, and kind of give you the whole swan song."

And yet...

And people scoff when I tell them I don't trust a damn thing athletes say in interviews and post game pressers and what not.

They say what needs to be heard for the moment.
 
Roberson is a good defender but being a bad shooter on an isolation heavy team like OKC isn't a good fit.

Ideally, bazemore is the answer

They've played the Spurs & Warriors a combined 1 game, and that was on opening night. Those stats are meaningless when predicting how they would fare against those 2 in a playoff series.

I highly doubt Roberson will be in the rotation by the end of a series against either team.
