Or you know maybe if KD wasn’t out tht 1 game in his sample size. bro addicted to n=1 conclusions lmao
this discussion is getting silly. Not sure why we are comparing Rockets players against each other? What’s the reasoning here? None of these players not named KD are good enough. Period
I don't care, but you do. You led with "Amen Thompson is a reigning all defensive team guy - in the era where it's incredibly difficult to make the team". And it is a problem that Amen is given unlimited minutes no matter how badly he plays and no matter how limited his skills are. No other guard in the league who shoots as poorly as he does would get his minutes - his identical twin gets 10 minutes less a game with an identical skill set. "Different standards"? Unbelievable. If Ime yanked Amen each time he air-balled a 3, I would understand him yanking Reed for getting blown by. But Ime has one standard for defense and another standard for offense, which is why Amen leads the team in minutes and why we have the worst offense in the playoffs.
You asked why players were treated differently - that is why. Do you have any further questions I can help you with
sudoku isn't redarted. he is saving his real playbook for when we meet the denvers in the conference finals.
Better defender than Reed isn't really a high benchmark though to be fair. He's also not remotely the defender he himself was cracked up to be, has very few real fundamental skills, and worse shooting than our previous draft bust.
The "team record as a starter" freak outs are the best kind of uncut insanity Buddy with his current team record as a playoff starter it would take him infinity years to win 3 games according to my calculations - in fact human beings will have long since faded into dust, the Sun would have gone red giant phase burning up the planet, the burned out remnants having passed the event horizon of the supermassive black hole near Sag A at the galactic center, then radiated back out in the form of hawking radiation as entropy reaches its maximum and the universe as we know it fades to nothingness
Passing on Harden for free in FA, passing on Harden a 2nd time for cheap at the deadline, but eagerly went after Durant meanwhile, Ime no idea how to create an offensive system, has KD turning the ball over like a madman trying to create for himself and others.
What is really nutty about Ime is when he makes substitutions when the players on the floor are in the midst of making a run, thereby ending the momentum. He had been doing it the whole season. He did it again last game when the Rockets were on a 9-0 run. He is nothing but an assistant and not a HC caliber.
Why didn’t Sheppard start game 2? He couldn’t guard the bigger more physical and experienced Smart https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CF...Playoffs&TeamID=&flag=3&sct=plot§ion=game
These people hate it when others yell and shout racism yet take the opportunity to yell and shout reverse racism any chance they get with no evidence. No facts. No basis. They yell and scream and point fingers just because a player that looks like them that they idolize doesn’t get the playing time they think he is entitled to despite the fact he simply isn’t that good of a player at this moment.
so udoka is racist against DFS as well as Sheppard? You yell and scream racism with no evidence. Fueled with emotion and nothing to back up your claims just because a player you are emotionally invested in that may look like you doesn’t play. Holliday or Tate barely plays. Sheppard is inexperienced literally first playoff series. Liability on defense. And you fail to see his lack of execution on the offensive end as well. You’re not looking at this from a basketball standpoint but are viewing it from an emotional and hateful lens. Do you like it if the opposite happened? How would you feel if a white coach doesn’t play a black player due to the player’s deficiencies on defense, lack of execution on offense, and inexperience? Would you call this racism? Or is the coach justified? Would you like it if black fans yelled and screamed racism with no evidence and simply emotion and hate like what you’re doing right now? Think.
If you have season tickets can you let other people use your seats? I assume not. The crowd is embarrassing.
Different Lakers just like getting career highs in every game, not sure where the defensive minded approach is failing
