NBA Tonight

[Asclepias]

I think youre getting an All NBA Defensive team mixed up with an All NBA team.

Ok well done, you were right, I was wrong....but Delly could still make a second team behind cp3

Stop it Rocko!. Delly couldnt make an All NBA defensive team if all the starting PGs in the league got kidnapped by aliens. That entire notion is just silliness.

Wanna bet? If we are still posting here by next year...I'll throw down on a bet...that's how confident I am in my boy Delly.

Sure. What are we betting?

Sig bet... three months....deal?

Sounds good to me. You better hope Chris Paul, John Wall, Mike Conley, Damian Lillard, Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley (who plays PG sometimes), etc etc all tear an ACL

 

[Papageorgio]

At least I don't pretend I playe semi pro ball with Jason Kidd. That was a good one.

I didnt pretend I played semi pro with Jay. I said I was supposed to play with him.

Yeah you made it sound like you and him guys that pla together. And that picture you should us, claiming it was your pic....i saw that pic on NBA TV but I didn't say anything

Why is your name ROCKO? You in porn bro?

Dude you're not even a flee..just get lost would be my advice.

Dude, you are an ant compared to me on this board. Keep it up we'll have to nominate you for the USMB board ass award.

You still sticking by your impeachment bs or you ready to admit you were dead wrong, just like I said?

You're showing your limited basketball knowledge. Lillard sucks on D.

Ok.

I was just throwing names out there because pretty much everyone is better than Delly on defense. Thats why Lillard is top 30 in defensive rating and Delly cant even make the cut and get to top 40.

FYI Rocko. Its even worse for you than I thought. I forgot there are actually 4 spots but he has to compete with SG's as well as PG's.

[Billo_Really]

Did he make any all NBA defensive teams?

No, I don't think so.

I was wrong about this 1 thing my entire time here on USMB. However, I'm 100% correct about John Kasich.

that basketball in the regular season. Its like how they play defense in an all-star game. they don't. this is the playoffs biatch

They are 14-5 in the playoffs, throwing up threes. Seems your theory is flawed, biatch!

and they are 2 wins away from an NBA championship

thank god the warriors won last night,they could not have afforded to go down 3 to 1 and expect to win anything.that game saved their season.I am feeling much better about their chances now after giving up on them when they lost at home after not just beating them but making it a blowout no less.

to me it seems like Cleveland still has this one in the bag. I've seen plenty of championship series and this one seems typical back and forth I expect Cleveland to come out strong in game 5

I expect the Cavs to go smaller but I think the Warriors will prevail, I think game four is the turning point. The other side is I don't underestimate James.

I don't understand him either. He can be so great and dominant and then just stop all of the sudden. this is why I don't think he's as competitive as Michael Jordan. physically the most talented basketball player ever he doesn't seem to have the heart or mentality of MJ

 

[sealybobo]

You obviously haven't been watching the entire playoffs. He was 5 and 0 as a starter before last night. I literally have never seen anyone dive on the floor for loose balls as much as I've see Delly do it. Only a jackass like Asslips doesn't appreciate what Delly has brought to the game in these playoffs.

i do appreciate his hustle. You got a little too excited claiming he could make an all NBA defensive team and he was stopping Curry. I know you are probably suffering from GWH syndrome but you need to pump your brakes on that silliness.

So before he's a scrub and now you appreciate the guy. Male up your mind already. Maybe the dude is not shutting Curry down according to the stats, but anyone who has been watching this series knows in games 2 and 3 Delly was killing it defensively. You would know if you were actually watching the games. Too bad not watching the games doesn't stop you from running your trap though.

What confused you? Delly is still a scrub and I appreciate his scrubbiness. You do realize you can appreciate the effort a scrub puts forth right? He is diving on loose balls and coming up with valuable possessions. He is bumping people all over the court and making them watch out for him possibly injuring them. He is an asset for his team. Now if you want to call that basketball talent then that lets me know you probably sat the bench in middle school and got cut in high school.

At least I don't pretend I playe semi pro ball with Jason Kidd. That was a good one.

I didnt pretend I played semi pro with Jay. I said I was supposed to play with him.

yes you said you should have been on that team you did not say you were in that picture if I recall correctly

Asclepias is known for being more of a fanboy than a knowledgeable basketball connoisseur. He's been laughed off of other boards.

Real plus minus is not a defensive rating, genius. And it's no secret that Lillard is a defensive liability, fanboy.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

As a team, Cleveland's defensive rating has went from 104.1 regular season to 99.6 postseason. Now, some of that is teams being allowed to be more physical in the postseason. But Dellavedova's increased minutes would seem to have played some part in that as well. I don't know how good Dellavedova is on defense in general. I thought he was average at best the times I saw him in the regular season. But let me say a few things:

1. Irving (like Lillard) is a well known defensive liability. And I'm guessing that fanboy chimed in without realizing that.
2. Besides, Kawhi Leonard, Dellavedova has played the best defense on Curry that I've seen anybody play on him in the regular season and playoffs. Now, I don't believe that means he's suddenly a great defender. It just means he's had a nice little stretch of games. But it has been aided by Curry being cold from the field in a way that he hasn't been all year long; so yea, I'm sure Dellavedova may be getting a little two much credit.
3. Dellavedova's defense is a distant second to Kawhi Leondard. Had the Spurs played the Warriors, that series would have likely went to the Spurs.

If you think Lillard is a defensive liability you are more retarded than Rocko. Lillard is one of the best defensive guards in the league.

[Papageorgio]

Dellavedova if he was listed as a PG he would rank 32nd, on the list.

Not sure if I buy the into many of those stats and how accurate they are.

Lillard is a good defender when Wes Mathews is on the floor, he isn't as effective when Mathews isn't. There are some players that make others a lot better. LeBron and Magic have the ability to make others better. Billups was another player that could do that.

The best defensive player I ever saw, was a guy named Cornell down at Vets Park.

Best defensive guard in the history of the NBA, was Walt Frazier.

No, I don't think so.

i was being sarcastic. He did make an all star team once in the ABA.

I think that the reason some players are not seen as good defensive players when they are actually better than they look is a simple one. The coaches want them to conserve their energy for the offensive side of the game. It would piss me off when my coaches would put me on someone I thought was not a challenge instead of taking the best player. When I got older I understood why. I was better on the offensive end and had the energy left to shut down the best player at the end of the game.

I read his book in my junior year of highschool and thats what turned me into a two way player. I had previously focused only on offense but I picked up some good tips and a pride in defense from Clyde.
