2018 NBA Playoffs Thread

[nick.]

Defenses usually give Draymond 5+ feet of space anytime he’s at the three point line while Embiid has defenders bite for his pump fake 90% of the time behind the line. He hasn’t shot it that well this year but there’s a big difference between the two of them as shooters.

I'm giving both of them space on the perimeter

The quality of these threes matter. I'm sure Joel Embiid isn't getting wide open looks here everyone just stands around waiting for him to shoot it.

Did you watch game 4?

Guarantee your big is respecting Embiid everywhere on the court regardless of what the scouting report says.

That quality of shot sounds like them" Kobe shot over three defenders so of course his 3 point shot percentage isn't going to be that high type argument "
Bad argument.
Is someone who can create a shot shooting 30 percent from three a better three point shooter then someone who can't but shoots 36 percent from three. Does sound like a lot of juelzing going on.

Agree on the warriors you want draymond to shoot over curry klay or Dray .
Agree nick. I want someone to shoot who shoots 30 percent from 3. Give em space.

Of Spurs Warriors? Just the last five minutes I was at the library and turned it on once I saw we were actually up with five minutes left to go.

Probably, but it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do

spanish kidd
that was Jason with the nets type performance

True but human nature always kicks in. It’s the same way Curry somehow finds himself wide open every game or how lebron spins every time he goes left in transition. Mental mistakes get made. Embiid pump fakes and at worse he’s getting fouled.

Rewatching the rockets game. Harden needs more halp

Dogs the **** that been going on with Embiid in this thread is full out insanity.. He's a 30% shooter from three & somehow he's a "threat", guys are jumping on 90% of his pump fakes as if he's J.J Reddick. Ya'll sure love the "eye test" when the stats don't give up a false narrative.

Bron got this. Pacers gunna fold under the pressure now, the Bucks are gunna beat Boston in 6 and Philly gunna choke, that city has had enough success for one sports cycle to last them 20 years anyways.

Playing defense is way more tiring then playing offense.

Philly/Miami. I think all 4 of embiid's high quality bricks were butt naked

just shows you just cause they in the nba doesn't mean they are smart. I'd let him pump fake to death and not jump. I'd rather him shoot 3s then let him get closer looks towards the basket.

By farrrrrr

 

[lynchpin33]

Brewer has made a career out of cherry picking -- no way he is ever getting beat down the court.

 

[lamekilla]

Draymond was a threat 15-16. Not sure what happened there.

The Cavs

 

[classic94]

Ben Simmons with a leathal jumpshot would be the next jordan bypass lebron

He was a 37% three point shooter last year. The dude can definitely shoot the ball, his 18 foot midrange is usually money. He just has had an off year with his three ball but players in the NBA still respect it and bite on his pump fake allllll the time. Ask anybody who actually watches our games.

Every time he pumps the big guarding him usually jumps.
