    Crazy that the celtics are so deep at guard slots that jd davidson is leading the Gleague in scoring and assists and just became the celtics gleague team alltime leading scorer and hasnt seen minutes in the actual league at all this season, also while im here jaylen brown is the celtics best scorer tatum is the celtics best player not even a debate offense runs through tatum he rebounds and defends and brown flips a coin every morning deciding if he is gonna be able to dribble or not, most consistent on the team on making shots just cant always get to his spots and make plays from there. I have missed 3 celtics games this year so i would love for someone to argue that

    • @IndieMerchantSam
      @IndieMerchantSam Місяць тому +1

      As someone who has watched a similar amount of Celtics game this season, I’d actually argue that Tatum is a better scorer than JB. JB is maybe a little bit more built for playoff scoring since he’s a better finisher when he acts as a slasher and that’s as consistent as shotmaking gets in the playoffs, Tatum has been the more consistent volume scorer for basically their entire careers and is a better shooter from 3.

    • @nba2kplayer686
      @nba2kplayer686 Місяць тому

    I think it’s always best to have a deep bench. Case in point with the current Warriors. Losing Klay definitely hurt them, but they were able to find a whole bench unit to fill it out because of it.
    I think because the Rockets are so young and a few of them are former lottery picks it’s a bit of a different buy in. Yes they’re winning more but until they’re a top 5 team in the Western Conference, I think it’s gonna be easier said than done.

      @@akanatural986 Fair, you could say that, but OKC is already one of the top teams in the Western conference. However they don’t have as many lottery picks or high lottery/1st round picks (drafted to their team,) as the Rockets have currently.
      Thunder draft wise have Lu Dort (undrafted, but signed 2way at first,) Chet, Jalen, and Jaylen (who was also a 2nd rounder.) Shai we all know came in the trade and Giddey who also was another first round pick of theirs, was traded.)
      Rockets on the other hand, got Amen Thompson (5th pick,) Sengun (a 15th pick I want to say who ironically was traded from the Thunder,) Cam (a top 20 pick,) Reed (Third pick overall,) Tari (mid first rounder I believe,) Jabari (a 3rd pick also,) and Jalen Green (a 2nd pick.)
      I feel when you have that many first rounders I feel unless you’re winning immediately, it’d be tough because they each were drafted with potential to play only for them to get even better draft picks.
      Not to mention on top of that you have Fred and Dillon brought in as well. So yes, I’d say similar to the Thunder, but not quite as much as some would think.

      @whatslaps Which one am I not?
      Last year (were we had to give minutes to more than 30 different players) and that one year where they somehow made the playoffs despite being forced to start guys like Jordan Farmar (they gave minutes to 28 players in total).
      Also, the past two playoff trips for the Grizzlies have been derailed by injuries (losing Ja against the Warriors and losing both Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke against the Lakers).
      And even this year. They've been long stretches without either Ja, JJJ or Bane. Edey, Smart and Kennard have missed considerable time while we've had like 20 minutes combined of Vince Williams Jr. and GG Jackson. If we weren't as deep as we are, we'd be amongst the worst teams in the league instead of being a top 4 seed in the West.

    Watching the Spurs closely for over a decade, my general belief is that depth really helps you out in the regular season, and in the final stages of the playoffs, but top-heavy teams can absolutely do some damage in the early rounds when everyone can play 40+ minutes every game. The Big-Three Thunder and Lob City Clippers were a perpetual nuisance because while our bench probably had the talent to make the eight seed on their own, it didn't really matter if they couldn't go toe-to-toe with a lineup of superstars that never had to rest

    I know the topic I'll suggest isn't your bread and butter, but you could make a video about "prehistoric basketball" and why it's never mentioned.
    I've always been amazed on how the game was played for half a century before the NBA was formed and it gets zero attention.
    It kind of contributes to a general disregard some nba fans have for the past eras. In the same vein, the inclusion of the three point line can be a boundary between old and current basketball, and you could even argue that there is a pre Jordan era and a post Jordan era, commercially wise. It makes the sport feel somewhat "recent" or at least not as historic as baseball, hockey or football for that matter, as they seem to show more continuity.

      my video on positions touches on some of that stuff. u seen that one yet?

  • @TheSaltiestPickle
    @TheSaltiestPickle 27 днів тому +2

    Bol Bol and Damion Lee aren’t getting a lot of minutes, the most Bol has played this season is ~6 minutes, and has only played about 20 minutes total so far… Damion Lee had one game where he played 17 minutes at the beginning of the season, and one game where he played 10 right around the time KD got injured I think. But he’s only played 2 games since with less than 6 minutes in each of them

    • @whatslaps
      @whatslaps  27 днів тому +1

      true. but the fact that they've seen hardwood is cray

    • @TheSaltiestPickle
      @TheSaltiestPickle 23 дні тому

      @ I think Bol is good enough to get some minutes, he wasn’t terrible last year and it seems like playing w KD, Beal n Booker helped his mindset. As for Damion Lee, I’ve only started watching basketball last year so I’m not really familiar with his game, but from what I’ve seen so far I’m not impressed so you might be right about that lmao.

    @LouisAtkinsRyan 23 дні тому +1

    Maybe bc we aren’t as relevant atm but I think the grizzlies have 15 or so guys once healthy that can get minutes in a game kind of a gift and a curse

  • @seanmolloy2172
    @seanmolloy2172 Місяць тому +1

    I dont think that's true. People talk about Boston's depth. But they aren't that deep. They won a title with just 6 players that they trust. Pritchard has stepped up this year, but last year he was on spot minute duty. Hauser isn't trusted in big moments, nor is kornet. It was just 6 really good players. 5 1/2 when you count porzingus' injury history.

    • @whatslaps
      @whatslaps  29 днів тому +1

      that's true, but I think they could have reached deeper into folding chairs if they'd need to. idk though

    Do you think that aura is a bit overrated? Like I feel like Embiid is in the same spot Jokic, Tatum and Giannis were in before they won the finals. It seems like aura is a factor in how players are judged, but they don’t necessarily play according to aura.

    • @whatslaps

    Seems crazy to make a vid on depth in the NBA and not talk about the warriors, no? Team drops the klay bloat and goes from a play-in team to 3rd in a stacked west, with a quarter of their wins coming while Steph is injured.
    Anyways love the vids bubbe, keep it up

    jus gotta warriors that mf with the minutes distribution, as long as the combos work well. rockets also got that goin for them... plug and play can work well with at least 11 of the guys. truly a full squad. injuries come? next man up fr. Cam Whitmore, Tari Eason, Steven Adams, even an Aaron Holiday and Reed Shepard can replace our starters and the dropoff aint even that crazy

    Yeah the Celts depth is a nice luxury (tax) to have 😬. I kinda foresaw Houston's minutes allocation situation to be a problem coming into this season, gift and a curse, a lot of talent available, not enough minutes for everybody. Suns did sort of screw themselves with their situation of the guys they picked up (and are paying what they're paying). That 2014 Spurs team was a heck of a squad, really enjoyed watching them. A good GM has to understand the value of a superstar/all-star vs what they give up for them (picks). Thanks again bro, always stay k*llin the topics you cover. Big up for what you do man. Ap👏pre👏ci👏a👏ted. 🫡

      haha, thanks for censoring the comment! I always error on the side of caution on youtube. You're Celtics are going to have some prosperous years in the future. Luckily the fans ain't gotta foot that bill. Maybe Besos buys it and let's the Luxury tax bill rip! I appreciate the appreciation as always!
