IST: NBA Finals Thread: Thunder VS Heat

[RamiTheBullsFan]

I don't think I could sleep for a week if I knew James Jones beat me.

I don't think I could sleep knowing my best player was in foul trouble (costing me offense) because I had him try to guard LeBron James instead.

When you look at his weaknesses, for what OKC has and would use him for...they are a non-issue right off the bat really.

 

[FirstTimer]

right...i just don't think that zone is something you can run a whole game unless it works that well...

jmo,though:shrug:

No doubt.

Charlotte looking to deal No. 2 pick - CBSSports.com

Here's the deal.

NBA draft.net compares him to a Gerald Wallace/Andre Iguodala hybrid.

6'8" 233lbs

Here is Chad Ford's positive and negatives:


From NBAdraft.net


Decent overview.

MKG is actually my favorite player in the draft.

If I'm OKC, I can live with a lack of perimeter game for the time being with that size. I think Hollinger does this on twitter, but does any place list other measurements such as hand size and arm length?

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

Well, whenever Cole was on the court, I'd consider playing zone. If James and Haslem are in as my bigs, I'd consider playing zone. And when I couldn't play zone, I would have Ibaka guard LeBron James throughout the fourth quarter (instead of only playing him 22-27 minutes).

found something:

NBA Combine: Some Quick Thoughts - Fear The Sword

"MKG – 6’7.5, 233lbs, 7% Body fat, 7’ wingspan, 9" hand length, 10.25" hand width… Those are phenomenal numbers for a SF. I am trying to find his measurements, but those seem to stack up very well with Tayshaun Prince (Prince was said to have a 7’2 wingspan, but not sure on his hands.)"

Just looking at some of the stuff on the website, if I'm picking a Tar Heel, I'd rather have Henson than Barnes.

Again, I honestly don't pay attention to NCAA Basketball, so what do I know?

henson is actually a pretty intriguing prospect

the issue is,while he's developed quite a bit offensively, he still is not the best offensive post player

he is a bit wiry and not the strongest, so that's an issue as well

his defense and length are incredible though...he's like an anthony davis lite

i honestly like him over barnes, partly because barnes is pretty overrated

Meh. Not really. Demanding a hard double team isn't really a solution. All you're doing is helping earlier than later and if they start doubling hard down in the post Lebron is big enough to pass out of it pretty easily. I guess in some sense an immediate hard double would work, but the issue is then they start screen and rolling with Lebron until the cows come home because it's more difficult to throw a double team at that situation, especially if they run it with Wade.

The guy can't make up his mind. He wants them to double but when the Heat do double he bitches because it leaves the shooters open. Pretty crappy analysis/ideas.

ZOMG THEY NEED TO DOUBLE HIM!

ZOMG THEY DOUBLED HIM AND LEFT SOMEONE OPEN!

ZOMG THEY AREN'T DOUBLING!(Ignoring that Miami has cleared out one entire side of the floor so there's no place to really "double" from.)

LOL at his solution of simply just sticking Ibaka on Lebron. It will take the Heat two seconds to counter that. Lebron to wing, Bosh weak high post. Lebron past Ibaka to lane, if help comes kick out to shooter or drop to Bosh. Essentially all this guy has done is change when James gets to the lane area. It's either going to be early off a post up, or "late" off the drive past a slower defender. At that point everything is the same. Pretty lame "key".

Thanks for wasting nearly 6 minutes of my life that I could have used to spend trolling brett

Scrolled through the last 10 pages of this thread. Some good discussion. A couple things to add:

1) RamiTheBullsFan is far and away the worst poster on CCS.

2) If people ignore RamiTheBullsFan, his effectiveness is limited. He will continue posting his 3 paragraph essays about nothing, but when ignored he will at least try to change topics and/or arguing tact. When confronted in a conversation, he will repeat himself over and over again and get into his "Yoda-Luke" tone.

Wow, why does everyone always gang up on Rami so much?
He is entitled to his opinions even if most of you think there stupid.

Not everyone can be a genius and expert like me.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Also: increased muscle mass does not make you slower.

 

[scottiepippen1994]

Everyone "gangs up" on Rami because Rami will make factually incorrect statements and will not admit that he is factually incorrect.

He is entitled to his opinion, but he is not entitled to pass his opinion off as being fact or accepted knowledge. For instance, basketball players do not play one position on offense and another on defense.

I have promoted myself to Bulls forum moderator.
From now on, I order you to keep the personal insults to yourself, or ill be forced to ban you for 1 week.
Anymore outbursts of this type out of you thereafter, and your banning will be for a month.
Strike 3 and I will permaban you and your gang of hooligans permanately.
Do I make myself clear?
Good, you have my permission to carry on.
From now on, correct and educate Rami with respect, understanding, patience and without personal attacks on other members regardless if they are right or wrong. Got It bub?

Thank you for your understanding,
And have a nice day and Go Bulls :beerbang:

 

[scottiepippen1994]

We still cool slick. Ill take the advice you sent me in the message, but I'm on ESPN most the time. I only come here when you show up on ESPN private messaging me to come over here when you have problems.
You the one that asked me to thank like all your posts. This is funny.
I see what loyaty gets me now.

Cool story brah.

You sucked on ESPN too.

 

[scottiepippen1994]

You suck on CCS.

"I will waste you!"​

With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant.

 

[scottiepippen1994]

Sefolosha will destroy Lebron tonight. Position defense will be the key, just ask Rami.
