Game 3 of the Finals today at 12:30PM ET. Prokom leads the series 2-0. Live stream is again gonna be either http://195.245.213.199/Ch0001 or http://195.245.213.199/Ch0006 First road game of the Finals for Prokom, who usually play much better at home, so this one might be a little closer than the first two games. We'll see... they're still the much more talented team.
Prokom trails 26-14 after 1. Rather sloppy execution on their part so far. Perfect game for D-Mo to take over.
Prokom trails 30:47 after first half. Motiejūnas having a decent game so far, dispite missing 3 easy lay-ups: 9pts (3/7 2pt 1/13pt) 4rebs in 16 mins
If anyone whos watched him play frequently tell me how much of a flopper he is? Ive only watched highlights and of course theres no flopping in the videos... but being a euro player is almost automatically associated with being a flopper... im curious as to know if he is a blake/cp3 level flopper or what....
He's certainly not on the Chris Paul or Blake Griffin level, as he doesn't act. He'll try to take a charge from time to time. Some are pretty bad. Some half-decent. More often then not it ends up being a block or a no-call. On offense he flails his arms quite a bit, though it's no worse than what guys like Pierce or Nowitzki do. He falls down quite a bit, however not because he's flopping, but rather because he still lacks some strength and (too) often fades away from the basket. His team got trashed 83-57 today by the way. D-Mo only played 21 minutes, had 11 and 5. Missed 3 or 4 easy layups of which a couple of them might have been Patterson-itis. Could have went up strong, but opted to go for the weak layup attempt. Other than that he wasn't too bad. Got doubled before the catch quite a lot. His team was just awful.
Thans hmmhmm for the insight... i personally dont might a little exxageration to try and sway a call in your favor as long as your not acting like blake/cp3... Sucks to hear they lost and would def like him to go stronger instead of being a scola scorer... also woild like some strength but that comes with time and training... Also hmmhmm if you would answer me another question... hows his defense and and defensive postioning? Does he display good instincts or show hope that he could be good if given a consistent effort? Curious on his 2-way capability or if hes a strict one sided player.. Thanxs again...
His defensive instincts aren't great and some of his defensive fundamentals are poor (defensive stance, help positioning, low post d, closing out). He does however understand the concept of help defense and I'd like to believe that he has improved in most of these areas throughout the season. He is not a help side defender and IMO never will be, as he doesn't possess the tools (below average wingspan for his size), nor the instincts. I think that's actually one of the few areas where he'll end up being similar to Dirk. His post- and perimeter defense can both be improved on IMO, as he seems like a smart guy and his shortcoming mostly stem from bad technique and lack of strength. I don't see him ever being more than average or slightly above average in either area though. I actually like his tools to defend the pick&roll. He's certainly not what I'd call "good" yet, but this is probably the area he's show the most upside in and has the most potential defensively going forward. One thing he already is good at is playing deny. He probably gets or creates a steal, leading to a break-away dunk every game or two.
Much appreciated again... and if i could two more minor questions... 1)does he show effort while defending or is he lazy on that side? 2)how do you quote other people name along with thier quote? I can only put what people say and not who aaid it... I appreciate the insight...
This guy needs to be here next year. Start up with him in the lineup. Get ready to move Scola, Martin, and or Lowry. Add Donatus and two draft picks to the lineup. Bring back Lee, Dragic and whoever we get from some of those trades.
Unless there is a major deal that goes down, I have a feeling that Patterson would be more suspect to get moved in a smaller deal. Patterson had a dissapointing year, but is still a valuable piece to a trade. I would not be shocked if he gets moved before Scola does. That being said, Scola is still going to have his name in more than a few deals. Just like everyone else on this roster.
He's certainly showing effort on defense. It may not always be pretty, but he's trying. As for how to quote people along with their name, just click , instead of
Appreciate it... I really woildnt mind seeing both ppat and scola traded for a pf(gasol maybe) just to open up more playing time for donuts who i am very intrigued to see play...
Gasol isnt KG, he wont lift the level our team with his intensity at all. KG is different all together Kobe is the leader of that Lakers team, without Kobe, Gasol probably doesnt bring it everynight, Kobe constantly gets on Bynum and Gasol's ass KG doesnt need a fire lit under him to play hard. Look at him in the playoffs this year
I dont get the Patterson trade request here According to many draft websites the consenus Number 2 player in this years draft is Thomas Robinson. Who's game is very similar to PPatt's. I will give Patterson another year. Remmeber how well Patterson played when he started, maybe he needs to play with the starters again. I dont want Patterson to Jeremy Lin us if he gets traded
I'll cry. But, no I don't see that happening. Now if there was anyway to get a good tough big to pair with him(Valcucianas, Pekovic)
I won't be surprised. I just hope that we can get an actual play-maker, I don't even care what position.
