Going Commando Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah Monty McCutchen is the most overrated official in the league. He screws us every time. That foul call on Oubre was crap and then they gave him a fourth shot with their **** up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 That was a complete **** show at the end of the game. They ****ing forgot to start the clock after the inbounds and then they called a ****ing jump ball when Gasol was intentionally fouling Beal. Oh and Scott Brooks was calling a time out too, which they ignored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticksboi05 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 NBA officiating is unacceptably poor, probably still the worst of the Big 4 and I say this two days after watching the Penguins get gifted a win over the Capitals. But we prevail and persevere. It's nice to have a real coach. It really is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Let's get some road wins on this trip. I want to win in New York and Detroit. And a win in Charlotte would really help us stay in front in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get back home to the DMV nearly as much as I'd like, so I live for the few chances so see them here. Could be a pivotal game in this string of 5 of 6 on the road.

TheItalianStallion Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Poor performance from Beal, yet we still beat a winning team from the West. We are tied with Cleveland for the most home wins in the East (3rd in win% - Indy). Now if we could just start winning some games on the road. Chance to prove ourselves over the next few games.

RonArtest15 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So I could hear time out being called through my TV, but somehow the ref, who was standing a foot away from Beal/Wall/Brooks, couldn't hear anything? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The number of offensive rebounds by the Grizzlies was ridiculous. Hats off to them the way they clamped down on us hard after halftime. That third quarter was rough. And, of course, the ending of the game was bull**** on so many levels. Gasol was on Beal like a coat plus Wall and Brooks were both screaming time out.

Going Commando Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Both New York and Detroit beat teams ahead of us in the standings last night. It's not going to be easy getting wins against them on the road. But truth be told, every game against the Knicks feels like a road game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now they're winning 3 of every 4 home games (18-6), but on the road they're losing 3 of 4 road games (4-13). It's normal for teams to be worse on the road, but that's ridiculous.

It wasn't that long ago that we couldn't buy a win at home and were getting them all on the road. And I know the fan-base hasn't gotten their act together so who knows what the hell thats about.

CBass1724 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Man, I watched the entire 2nd half last night and that was soooooooo frustrating to watch! I thought Scotty B was going to have a conniption fit when they called that jump ball. NBA refs are bad. So is our bench. Also, Otto is going to be a max player.

RonArtest15 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Don't know if any of you all peeped some of the 76ers game last night, but Okafor racked up a DNP-CD. I'm not advocating making a move for him, but he's probably going turn out to be no better than Mo Speights. Also, Joel Embiid absolutely needs to be in the MVP discussion. He's not going to come close to winning, but he's another guy (Wall, Harden, James, Westbrook) whose team goes as he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Otto is a strange player. Defensively he has trouble staying in front of wings or keeping bigs from backing him down. Offensively he can't really be relied on to dribble the ball at all. But in team situations he fantastic. He's always in position on defense to contest shots and uses his length well when helping or getting into passing lanes. He rebounds very well. He's fantastic without the ball both as a spot up shooter and cutter. He finishes well in transition. If he was the best player on a team he'd look nothing like a max contract player. But on a good team his impact is enormous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on a good team his impact is enormous. I read something, and I can't remember where, that said one-on-one defense is slightly overrated. You can truly gauge a player's value by how the fit in to the overall team defense. The latter is something which Otto is great. It was funny reading some of the comments from Tony Allen after the game yesterday. He pretty much said there was nothing in the scouting report about Otto. His shooting caught them off guard. How much of that I actually believe, I just don't know. However, I doubt that the Grizz coaching staff thought it would be a good idea to leave a guy like otto, who has an INSANE slash-line, wide open all game. He's a max contract player for this team. One of the best 3's in the East, IMO and should get some serious consideration for MIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) He's a clutch player too. The amount of big rebounds he comes down with is pretty incredible. He's turned himself into a catch and shoot sniper, and his growth as a shooter is similar to Kawhi Leonard's. Otto couldn't do what Wall and Beal do. He can't be a focal point because he simply doesn't have the strength or quickness or ball handling to create against a scheme that's keyed on him like they do. But his benefit to those two is so tremendous that you can't assess their impact without recognizing his. Wall and Beal need an outlet like Otto because their drives are most effective at pulling in his defender to help. Wall--Beal--Porter is the perfect complimentary trio at the PG-SG-SF spots. And Gortat is the ideal center to play with them IMO, because of his screen and roll game and ability to stay dialed in without getting shots. One thing about Gortat's game that doesn't get mentioned a lot is how he gets invested in every possession. He is goofy and fun loving but he absolutely matches Wall in intensity and focus and is frequently the most vocal player on the court. Gortat is that rare 7 footer that plays the game with playground emotion and competitiveness. You can tell he truly loves the game. If we'd gotten Ryan Anderson this summer, we would run the perfect offense. Only GS's offense would be better. Defense wouldn't be good though. And that's really what Oubre, Sato, Smith, and Mahinmi can bring to the equation. We sacrifice offense with those guys to, hopefully, be more balanced.

I really can't imagine anyone else winning MVP if he finishes the season averaging a triple double. I know that he's not the most efficient and whatever but he's actually averaging a triple double, and he's doing while leading the league in ppg. If the Thunder had a big man that could put us over the top I'd argue for trading Otto Porter at least in part because I think Westbrook desperately needs a player exactly like Otto Porter.
