NBA Tonight

[Asclepias]

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.

Defensive rating stats are highly irregular and only meant to be a barometer. They're ballpark, imo though. Dellavedova is:

1. Has picked up the intensity.
2. Refs are allowing him to get away with some stuff.
3. Curry has went cold.

Lillard's just not a good defender. He's about as bad as Rondo. But yes, a good backcourt mate can mask a lot of defensive deficiencies. Rondo didn't look so bad til he went from Avery Bradley to Monta Ellis.

You forgot Rondo played without Avery when they won it all.

Son, don't tell me what I forget. I know way more about the game than you'll ever know. No, Rondo didnt play with Avery then. Rather he played with pre-knee injury KG, who probably had the best perimeter defensive season of any big in the history of the NBA in 08 if not the best season by a defensive anchor period.

Sorry but I just told you. Your claim was that Avery made Rondo look good. Rondo is (or was) a great on ball and help defender.

I still have to go with the Cavs tonight since the Warriors are one-dimensional on offense

They need to make three's to score pts
They need to be on the fast break to score pts

I never see the warriors come down and set be patience and set up a offensive plan. They can only score from the outside

Thats 2 dimensions in your post. Just sayin.

Ok well they are offensively predictable

Predictable but hard to stop.

But if the 3 pointers are not falling then what??

 

[Asclepias]

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.

Idiot fanboy strikes again!

Is James Harden one of the best defensive guards in the league too?

Harden is barely adequate at defense. So tell me why Lillard is ranked as one of the top 30 defensive guards if you know your stuff?

Curry and Thompson both drive and dish or score.

Dude, you make these idiotic claims that defy common knowledge. Great defensive players don't take two years off on playing defense; that's something that limited defensive players with offensive mindsets do:

Rajon Rondo I haven t played defense in a couple of years ProBasketballTalk

And Rondo is not one of the best on ball defenders in the league. He's not even close to great, jackass.

Doubling down on your retardation, eh? I already posted that you posted a plus/minus link; not a defense rating link.

And Harden isn't 'adequate' on defense. He's terrible on defense.

On Lillard are you talking all time or just this year?

I hate it when guys like Rondo disappear from the scene because their team is no good anymore. yes he was a very good point guard. remember that Jason Williams the white guy white chocolate maybe? He was good or alright. when you played with Chris Webber I believe?

 

[sealybobo]

see I wouldn't even know Jason Williams does it werent for the playoffs. didn't he also play with Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade when they won a championship?

 

[sealybobo]

Golden State is putting on a clinic

 

[sealybobo]

But will Cleveland come back in game six lol like it's over

maybe he got hurt? a couple years in the NBA can take its toll on you. especially when you played his heartmaybe? Couple years in the n_b_a can take its toll on you. Specially when you play as hard as rondo did. look at Larry Bird

that's funny they're slam dunking left and right on Cleveland

 

[Papageorgio]

You lower your shoulder, set his arms and doesn't try to avoid contact. Definite flagrant foul.

6 minutes left in the third and LeBron was 1 assist away from a triple double he is amazing

 

[sealybobo]

and will LeBron run out of gas? is conditioning his problem? maybe he's so good he doesn't feel he needs to practice endurance training

 

[Papageorgio]

Pace has favored the Cavs.

 

[sealybobo]

to me curry is just a great score ball handler offensive player but he certainly not dominating the game

 

[sealybobo]

Pace has favored the Cavs.

under a hundred favors the Cavs over a hundred favors the Warriors

 

[sealybobo]

I want Andre Iguodala and Barbosa to win a championship. do either of them already have one? Verbose mi with Dallas or Spurs I'm going to go look it up
