DEMAR DEROZAN VS LUKA DONCIC (11/18/19)

November 19, 2019November 20, 2019bballscholar

Another exciting night in the NBA world!

Demar DeRozan had himself an excellent efficient game last night. He went into battle against Luka Doncic. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to bring the entire spurs back. He look great but his team looked sluggish.

DeRozan’s night👇🏽

He was getting to his spots while eating up a lot of space with his off speed dribbling moves. Demar showcased once again that he is an extremely skilled crafty player with the ball in his hands. I believe that Demar should of been more aggressive last night as none of the spurs players had any juice or life. I guess that has been his issue since becoming an all star. He is missing that next gear. But still he is a really good player.

Doncic’s night 👇🏽

Luka Doncic posted his 6th triple double of this season. He also scored a career high in points with 42. Luka’s 5 turnovers were bad but he was able to overcome that by hitting a 3 to basically close the game. Luka has already proven himself to be a subzero cold blooded killa on the basketball court.

The spurs tried everything to slow down Luka Doncic but he was cooking and definitely in a zone. If they stopped him he would find an open teammate with the dime. Luka Doncic is a true maestro in today’s game with amazing court awareness. Any given night he is capable to have all around great performances.

My Question:

What makes Luka Doncic so dangerous ?

Is it his scoring or passing ability?

Questioning the Spurs:

You can never count the spurs out of anything but clearly they have to move on from Demar and Lamarcus.

Do you think the Spurs trade Demar DeRozan to the East this season?

Trae Young had himself quite a nice night. Yes, he was a little reckless with the ball but nonetheless his shooting from deep 3 was simply amazing! I can easily see Trae Young being an All Star this year in the east? What you think?

By The Way:

I believe Trae Young is incredibly talented! His ability to shoot deep three’s , pass the ball like a QB, and have handles for days can leave him almost untouchable for defenders! His deadeye from deep is unrealistic for many! I wouldn’t be surprised if he snags and MVP trophy in the future if he stays healthy of course. He could have a season where he’s averaging well over 34P a game. But just call me crazy 😜!

Am I the only one who gets excited when I watch Luca Doncic play?

He’s so freakin crafty all the time!

3 Things I love about Luka Doncic game:

He can do anything with the basketball and I mean anything!

He has the basketball on a tight string and he’s creativity allows him to make defenders look foolish trying to guard him.

His basketball IQ allows him to basically average a triple double every night.

Role model:

Similar to Lebron James he has the ability to throw these laser like passes that the defense can’t quite defend. I call those “dagger dimes”.

He’s so nice with it. It should be a crime to be that young and that good at basketball.

Check him out last night as he put on another dazzling show. Unfortunately they could not seal the victory. 👇🏽

Gordon Hayward went completely off and he looked comfortable in doing so!

Is he back to his all star caliber level?

Gordon Hayward tied his career high in points last night.

And he was extremely efficient in doing so.

His role last night was primarily used as a slasher. A lot of his catches were on the move. He was living in the mid range/ paint area. His crafty moves allowed himself to get free so he could get to his spot and splash away.

He looked great from the start up until the end. The Boston Celtics needed every point from Hayward to secure the victory. To me this was his best game as a Celtic’s player. I commended Gordon Hayward on being so patience and having the confidence in which he did last night! He had an incredible night!

Rudy Gobert – New Level – It’s me talking to you

November 4, 2019November 4, 2019bballscholar

Rudy Gobert is a beast on defense!

But am I the only one who thinks he SHOULD be averaging at least 20 points per game? He’s well over 7FT!

Last year he averaged 15.9 points if you were wondering.

This is my challenge to you my French brother!

Man on a Mission:

For the Utah Jazz to take another leap this year and possibly make a WCF appearance this is what they need from you, Rudy Gobert!

Basketball Progression:

I am simply talking to you as Bballscholar 👇🏽

2x Defensive Player on the year, my dude for your progression I want to see more. I believe you are capable of expanding your offense game. You can do it!

First off you need to more aggressive on offense like you are on defense. Demand the ball once a quarter in the low post! Now I’m not asking for much. A 10-15Feet face up jump shot. Because not to many players are going to be able to block that! Also develop a consistent jump hook with both left and right hand and you’ll be set for a new you.

My aspirations for you:

At 27 , I still see an unpolished offensive player that can take a leap! I may be thinking completely left on this thought but doesn’t anyone see that there’s ton of untapped potential that isn’t being utilized. Rudy Gobert stands at 7’1 and so for in his career he has only averaged 11P. That’s underwhelming.

Oh my! Did this game live up to the hype?

It sure did! This game was awesome! If you missed it I have a link down below to this epic match!

LeBron James (34) vs Luka Doncic (20)

Clashing styles:

LeBron and Luca were both disturbing early and all throughout the game as they found open teammates. Both players were hitting most of their shots. As they shot a good percentage from the field.

What I noticed.

Lebron James passing has next level and I firmly believe he will lead the league in assists!

Luka Doncic has the heart of 1,000 lions on that basketball court! He plays with so such ferocity as he fearless and witty. But he appeared to have a concussion late in the game. But I’m not doctor.

All right , so let’s fast-forward….

4th Qt:

Under 5 minutes remain when the game swung in LAL favor after Luca Doncic took a blow to the head from Dwight Howard. Luca was bleeding profusely and just didn’t look the same on the floor. They lost momentum and eventually gave up the lead. After that accident with Luka Dallas called a timeout. I guess to clean his cut more. I don’t know , the man looked didn’t look right. Then LeBron took over and made his statement in the game. Once Lebron James physically imposed his will on the game. The game was over in my opinion!

The game reluctantly went into overtime from a blown call from the refs. It was a illegal play by Dwight Howard (A Blatant Hold). So it be like that.. Dallas lost but they showed a lot of guts!

Watch Dwight Howard 👇🏽👇🏽
