Lebron and single handedly carry a team don't fit in one sentence for me. LBJ's style of play is can't carry a team. He needs elite teammates to reach the top. I'm lolling that you think Steph Curry can carry anything, let alone a team to a ring. He just did. THAT'S A FACT!

Steph is amazing but his game is lifted by having a Power Forward who passed the ball like a guard. He has an All Star SG and a soon to be All Star PF on his team right now. A former All Defense and Allstar coming off the bench and one of the best supporting casts since Jordan. He isn't Carrying shit.

I think AD is showing his true colours now. And I think Kristapas is a poor man's dirk, right now. He could be anywhere from Dirk 2.0 to Andrea Bargnani What? You mean AD is showing he is a top 5 player in the league? Come on. Tell me this. Does a team of Ish smith Eric Gordon Alonzo Gee LBJ Kendrick Perkins Make the playoffs? No it doesn't. So stop bashing AD because Dell Demps is a worse GM than Tracy Mcgrady. Why don't you go look at the team LeBron took to the finals and lost to the Spurs with...Or the couple times he lost to the Pistons with. Here is my thing with AD, and I had this problem with him a year ago. He came out and said something along the lines of "My game is most like Kevin Durant" I don't know why he would try to be like Kevin Durant and I don't know why someone didn't sit his ass down and tell him he needs to just be himself. He is a defensive monster. The league is trending to stretch 4's, yes, but that doesn't mean he needs to shoot the 3 all the time and take these shots outside the paint and everything all the time. His shot charts were really awkward last time I checked. Just play basketball, quit fucking around and just play. Dunk on some bitches, run the pick and roll, the pick and pop, and don't worry about taking people off the dribble and pulling up for mid range jumpers and 3's. I don't think that is his game. In my opinion, if you have a flaw in your game, and you're an incredibly great player, like LeBron etc.., you recognize the flaw, and put in extra work at that flaw. You don't go out 3 months later and drastically change your game around to showcase your work. Because chances are, the stuff you were good at, you are still better at even though you took 1000 3's a day in the off-season. Everyone knew LeBron had troubles shooting in his beginning years, yet his 3rd season in the league he wasn't walking 3's every time up the court. And people knew he had no post game, etc. He worked at his craft, and years later put it on display. That is my problem with AD, if that makes any sense at all. And no more of this, "the west is tough" shit. If he is good, the Pels will be in the playoffs. Case closed. If he is going to be better than LeBron, like everyone says and thinks, he takes his team to the WCF this year. Until he can do that shit, every one should get off his unibrow pubbed dick

I think I meant Winslow could be their next franchise centrepiece, I don't think he plays like Wade either. Regarding AD- I think there's a few player each generation who can single handedly lead their team to success. Shaq, Jordan, Hakeem and Lebron are a few. AD is not in that group but that doesn't mean he's not amazing. I'd add Kobe, dirk and Duncan to this list No, he couldn't. He needed great players and a great coach to win. Lakers couldn't even make the playoffs before Jackson came back. He was always a 1st class asshole though.

Blame Gentry who refuses to change his system for his players -- even if it means making a possible all time great do stuff he shouldn't be.

I get that Kanter is bad on D. But he's like Top 10 in the league on offense ffs and he's a rebound machine. He's like Kevin Love but without the 3s. How is that bad?

I always rag on players with poor defense Ian. It really sucks because his numbers are basically the same as they were last year. His shot count has gone down playing with the big three but his rebounding went up a smidgen because Favors is a better rebounder than Ibaka and Adams so Kanter doesn't have to compete with him anymore. My biggest problem with him is that due to his poor defense he's never been able to get over 1.0 VORP and this year his defensive plus minus regressed back to where it was 2 years ago after improving his last year with the Jazz.

Middleton has indeed played great recently. Might be something to do with being the only Buck who can consitently shoot 3s.
In fact, having watched a lot of Bucks games this year, to me it looks like a bunch of young guys with no real system in place, just every man gunning for himself, almost like the Bucks are trying to figure out who's the best and who should get the ball most by letting natural selection take control. Middleton soaks up the outside action, with a little bit of Bayless and Mayo when they're on the court. Monroe soaks up the inside action completely and utterly and keeps posting impressive numbers because of it. Everyone else just scrambles around the mid-range and tries to slash to the rim every now and again, this is true of MCW, Jabari and Giannis I suppose most of the time.
edit: In summary I don't think Jason Kidd is an intelligent man and/or there's too much politics bound up with who gets the ball in Milwaukee, possibly to do with Monroe's off season signing and the Hedge-Fund-Capitalists who've bought the franchise.

I think the fact that Middleton is the only outside shooter on that team makes it just all that impressive. I'm torn on J Kidd. He was successful under the nets and his first year under the Bucks. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, I think he's just gotta figure out How to fit Monroe in there.

streamable.com/dli0There's something so weird about Wiggins... he looks like a little kid playing basketball who just like floats to the rim it doesn't even look real. Like there's no real ferocity. I guess because he's jsut 20 years old he seems smaller than most players? IDK he legit looks like a little kid with flying superpowers to me hahah

Time for some Jahlil love. 17.6 / 7.4 / 1.2 looks pretty nice! He plays just under 31 mpg. A bit surprising to me are his 1.1 blocks per game, along with the 0.5 steals. 68.4% FT isn't stellar but for a big man it's decent. His 48.9% is only slightly low for a big man (they seem to hover above 50% or go all the way to the 60+ if they're just low-post guys with no real game, and just mainly operate on putbacks and alley-oops. But, the 48.9% from Jahlil is really impressive as you see that out of his 540 shots as of this shot chart, 149 of them came from outside of the paint! He's really quite impressive inside, and while his midrange game isn't stellar yet, it is there and it is developing. Really making him a beast on offense and as mentioned, at least his help defense has already surprised me a bit with the 1.6 combined steal/block number. vorped.com/1-nba/2015-2016/player/6643/jahlil-okafor/shotchart/Pumped to build around Jah along with my other young core players!
