Official NBA 2017-2018 Thread - Final day of the regular with playoff seating still unknown

Hmmmm......Gilbert may have a point. Time will tell.



This was some serious click bait with the title



Heard a shooting coach talk about Lonzo, and he said he's going to have to shorten up that rotation he has. That would probably be easier than re-working his whole shot.

He's left eye dominant like a left handed player
 
Gary Payton fucking Deelishis?



I felt uncomfortable for them. They both looked like, let me try not to look like I'm with the person beside me. She seemed pissed, and he looked like damn, who set me up.

The camera man had to be black too.

Been telling y'all about this kid. Had 41 and 12 tonight, 24 last night



Still young, been up and down, Rodney Hood being out is giving him time.

He will be a star

 
Having Wade coming off your bench is something special. Seems like he's more efficient in his new role.

Cavs rolling. Cant wait to see how IT meshes in a few weeks.

Theres also talks about Rose maybe coming back. Hopefully the can assure him that he doesnt have to go SO HARD. He's no longer in Chicago. No need to have that "I need to put the team on my back" feeling. Especially when LBJ is on his team. When IT comes back, Rose will go to the bench. Ala Wade, I think that will be great for both Rose and the Cavs.

During this streak,the bench been saving the starters ass,because they start off slow.

The Cavs were down 12 tonight and it was the bench that brought the team back and gave the team a double digit lead.

I'm glad the bench is doing very well this season,because they were horrible last season.

I like that Love has been stepping up too. His problems are all mental. Wade finally found his place too.

Love been doing his thing too. I would say thats because he doesnt have to share with many people (Kyrie or IT), but if you look at his stats last year, he was consistent as well. Even with Kyrie and LBJ there. He just needs to stay healthy.


As for the bench, thats why I think Rose needs to reconsider his retirement and embrace his role off the bench; once IT comes back. Less mins will be great for him....imho. Cavs put him in the starting line up and gave him almost 30 per game. Maybe 20-24 sporadic mins is more his speed at this point.

I'm Be the first to say, credit to Lue for a few things....

Let guys becoming active....(He gave Shumpert and JR more freedom to create off the dribble)

Supposedly he switched up the scheme, what's that I'm not sure yet...

Ain't worrying about Lebron minutes like everybody else is....(Lebron even says it, he work hard to be in top shape)

I'd like him to highlight Channing like he did at the beginning of last year...
Not just have him shooting 3's stretching the floor, dude midrange and post game is underrated....

Play the Osman kid more, that youthful energy could came in handle soon

Rose will be on the bench....
Minutes not the problem for him tho

Wade seems like he's in basketball shape now....shit the whole squad seem to be in shape....
I don't like that Korver cooled off tho

If,Love can give the team 18 points & 10 rebounds ,while IT and Bron do their thang;I think we can beat the Warriors.

I think they were going to put Rose on the bench in the first place when IT comes back.

It's going to be interesting to see,how the starters adjust when IT comes back.

During the broadcast,they said IT and Wade talk to the team,before they made their comeback tonight.

The team seem to do very well when they move the ball around.I be wanting to hit my laptop when I see them play isolation ball;that's how teams usually get back into the game.....

I also like to see more of Osman.

A few games ago,they talked about how Shump wasn't so happy about not playing much in the Finals.

Yea he let he known and that shit worked because Lue and Shump had a talk he worked hard over the off season... he just can stay healthy dude he was part of Lue closing squad

I know his issue aint "minutes", per se, I think it more so about him never being able to evolve his game.

He kinda talks about why he does what he does here:



I think Rose CONSIDERED evolving his game, but he couldnt evolve too much because he had to put on a show in order to get paid, help his team win (more so the Bulls) etc etc. Every team that he's played on has been thirsty to win NOW. Bulls & Knicks. Even during his first few games with the Cavs, they were losing games and the sky was falling. So he had to go back into "beast mode". Then he got hurt, again. The patience for him to change his game (to prevent injuries) has never been there.


Rose is at his best when he's slashing and playing violent. He stuck to what worked best for him until it wore him down. But i just think 20-24 sporadic mins would allow him to "slow down" some. Especially considering the fact that the Cavs have somewhat found a stride.
