Why do Tyrese's eyes look like that. Creeping me out fr.

Is Luka not as impactful as his stats suggest? in c/nba@nba.space
[–] maybeacademicweapon@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Salty hawks fan depressed about not taking him instead. He has improved significantly on defense and put a good effort last night even when his shots weren't falling. He can't guard small guards simply due to a lack of lateral speed but is actually very good at guarding 3/4s in the post, kind of like Harden.

Do you think Luka will be a multi MVP/FMVP or do you think he’ll end up like Harden? in c/nba@nba.space

Luka gets better in the playoffs, led his team to the WCF, multiple 50 win seasons with a trash roster, and is improving every season. How is he not a winning player?

6 threes in the FIRST QUARTER??

The Curse of SVG? The Detroit Pistons haven't had a top 20 offense since firing Stan Van Gundy in 2018. And the Orlando Magic haven't had a top 20 offense since firing him in 2012. in c/nba@nba.space

The Battle of the Tyrese's: After both Maxey's and Haliburton's ascension into the near-superstardom, who would you want more for YOUR team and why? (alien.top)
 

Maxey has evidently taken a leap this season, presumably due to Harden's departure which in turn allows him more touches. He's scoring at the highest rate of his career, at 28.56 ppg, on a near 50/40/90 splits. Nearly all facets of his game have improved, and it's safe to say the Sixers are more than happy with the results of the Harden trade.

On the other hand, Haliburton has been producing at an elite level for the past couple of seasons, but seems to have taken another leap this season as well. He's averaging 24 ppg on 50/40/90 splits, and is dishing out an astonishing 12 assists per game. The Pacers are currently the 3 seed, and it looks like they can be a legitimate playoff contender this season.

After taking into account the different aspects of each player's game, who would you rather want for your team and why?

Lamelo Ball is shooting a career high of 54% on layups and 55.3% in the restricted area. in c/nba@nba.space

While it isn't amazing, it's at least an improvement from his past seasons. Hoping he develops further since he has the tools to be a great finisher.
