SHOCKING TRADE (2/6/19) THE SIXERS WIN NOW

Posted on February 6, 2019 Leave a Comment

MY ASSESSMENT OF THE SIXERS:

AFTER WATCHING THE SIXERS GET DISMANTLED BY THE RAPTORS I SAID TO MYSELF. “THIS IS WHY THE SIXERS WILL NEVER WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. THEY NEED TO UPGRADE THEIR ROSTER.” AS THEY LOOKED OUTCLASSED.

MY THOUGHT WAS UNTIL BEN SIMMONS DEVELOPS AN OUTSIDE JUMP SHOT THEN THE SIXERS COULD BE TAKEN SERIOUS AS A REAL TITLE CONTENDER.

BECAUSE IN THE PLAYOFFS BEN SIMMONS; HIS STYLE OF PLAY IS EASY TO DEFEND AND SHUT DOWN. IF YOUR 2ND BEST PLAYER ON YOUR TEAM CAN NOT SHOOT THEN THAT IS A HUGE DETERMINANT TO YOUR TEAM. ESPECIALLY COMING FROM THE PG POSITION.

ONE THING THAT I DO SEE WHICH WOULD TRANSFER INTO THE PLAYOFFS IS HOW GOOD EMBIID HAS BEEN PLAYING. LAST NIGHT PREDOMINANTLY IN THE 4TH QT HE WAS DOMINATE. THE PROBLEM WAS BUT NO ONE ELSE MADE AN IMPACT.

WHAT DO THE SIXERS DO AFTER SEEING THAT PERFORMANCE? THEY MAKE A HUGE TRADE!

SIXERS RECEIVED:

TOBIAS HARRIS

MIKE SCOTT

BOBAN MARJANOVOC

CLIPPERS RECEIVED:

WILSON CHANDLER

MIKE MUSCALA

LANDRY SHAMET

DRAFT PICKS INCLUDE:

2020 (1ST RD PICK)

2021 (1ST RD PICK) OF MIAMI HEAT

2021 & 2023 (2ND RD PICKS)

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE CLIPPERS?

THE CLIPPERS FREE UP CAP ROOM TO SIGN A MAX PLAYER LIKE KAWHI LEONARD AND POSSIBLY TRADE FOR ANTHONY DAVIS. THIS IS WHAT I SPECULATE. THE CLIPPERS LIKE THE KNICKS TRADED AWAY THEIR VALUABLE ASSET BECAUSE MORE THAN LIKELY THEY WEREN’T GOING TO RESIGN. THE CLIPPERS NOW HAVE A LOT MORE DRAFT PICKS AND EXPIRING CONTRACTS FOR TRADING ASSETS. THEY WILL START TO TANK THE REST OF THIS SEASON.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE SIXERS?

WITH THIS HUGE MOVE THE SIXERS HAVE PUT THEMSELVES AS FRONT RUNNERS TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE EAST.

SURE…

WE DO HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THESE PLAYERS GEL TOGETHER.

THE SIXERS ARGUABLY HAVE 4 OF THE TOP 35 PLAYERS IN THE NBA. THE NBA FINALS NBA SHOULD BE A REALISTIC GOAL.

NBA FINALS OR BUST FOR THE SIXERS 76ERS.

CAN WE SAY PAUL GEORGE FOR 2018-2019 MVP?

YES BECAUSE HE HAS A REAL CHANCE!

I WOULD SAY YEAH

PAUL GEORGE IS HAVING THE GREATEST SEASON OF HIS CAREER IN OKC. LAST NIGHT WAS A PERFECT EXAMPLE TO HIS EXCEPTIONAL SEASON. AS HE DROPPED A CAREER HIGH MAKING 10 – 3POINTERS.

PAUL GEORGE EMERGENCE.

AT 28 WE ARE ULTIMATELY SEEING A FULLY ENGAGED AND PRIME PG-13. HE HAS BEEN MUST WATCH ALL SEASON. AS HE IS ABLE TO CROSS UP ANYONE WITH HIS SMOOTH HANDLES AND FINISH AROUND THE BASKETBALL WITH AWKARD SHOTS. PAUL GEORGE HAS NOTHING LESS THAN SPECIAL.

HE ALSO HAS A SHOT AT BECOMING DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AS HE LEADS THE NBA IN STEALS (116) 2.3PER GAME.

I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE THUNDER AT THIS LEVEL WITH THE WAY PAUL GEORGE HAS BEEN PLAYING, ARE ONE OF THE FEW TEAMS IN THE WEST THAT WILL BE ABLE TO CHALLENGE THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS.

SO LETS GIVE PROPS TO WHAT PAUL GEORGE IS DOING.

STEPHEN CURRY VS PACERS (1//28/19) & HIS LEGACY

Posted on January 29, 2019 4 Comments

STEPH CURRY WAS IN HIS BAG EARLY IN THIS GAME. AS HE WAS RUNNING AROUND POPPING 3S AND GETTING LAY UPS. HE GOT HOT QUICK AS HE PUT UP 23 1ST HALF POINTS OFF 9-10 FG.

HE DID THIS PERFORMANCE IN HIS USUAL 3QTS. AS THE GAME WAS OVER BY THE MIDDLE OF THE 3RD QT.

WHEN CURRY IS SHOOTING AND DOING HIS THING BY RUNNING AROUND ON THE COURT. ITS HARD FOR YOU TO NOT LIKE THIS GUY AS HE HIS IS A JUST A MARKSMAN WITH A HIGH BASKETBALL IQ.

LAST NIGHT HE BECAME THE ONLY PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY TO MAKE 200 3P’S IN SEVEN CONSECUTIVE SEASONS.

THIS SEASON HE HAS PLAYED IN 39 GAMES HE HAS MADE 203 3S.

IS IT SAFE TO SAY HE IS THE GREATEST 3P SHOOTER EVER?

HOW MANY 3P’S WILL STEPH CURRY MAKE THIS SEASON?

HE HAS 32 MORE GAMES.

MY TAKE:

I THINK CURRY WILL BREAK HIS OWN RECORD OF 402 3PS. HE IS ON A MISSION.

CURRY WILL EASILY BREAK THE RECORD FOR THE MOST 3S. BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW LONG DOES HE PLAN ON PLAYING BECAUSE HE CAN EASILY SHATTER THE 3PT RECORD.

HE CURRENTLY RANKS 3RD ALL TIME (2332).

RAY ALLEN LEADER (2973).

STEPH CURRY LEGACY:

GREATEST 3P SHOOTER OF ALL TIME!
