By diehard Go To PostComparing NBA players to pitchers is ehhh…I'm kind of curious to see what the numbers for DNP - Flu-like Symptoms in the past compare to DNP - Rest today. I'm not quite curious enough to figure out how to do it myself, though.
NBA players used to play every game, they don't now.
By Kibner Go To PostI'm kind of curious to see what the numbers for DNP - Flu-like Symptoms in the past compare to DNP - Rest today. I'm not quite curious enough to figure out how to do it myself, though.Look through a list of all the best players of all time and look at all the 82 game seasons.
By diehard Go To PostLook through a list of all the best players of all time and look at all the 82 game seasons.Players weren't asked to do nearly as much back then as they do now.
By s y Go To PostPlayers weren't asked to do nearly as much back then as they do now.they play even less minutes now
You think guys like Kyrie and Love are asked to do too much? The guy you can actually claim this about (YNB) isn't taking games off.
By s y Go To PostPlayers weren't asked to do nearly as much back then as they do now.How do you figure?
By s y Go To PostPlayers weren't asked to do nearly as much back then as they do now.
You think they had access to the level of physical care, recovery and transport that today's players do?
The only thing I will say is players have more miles on their bodies at like 25 than a player who went to college in the 90s at 25
By blackace Go To PostHow do you figure?Defensive and offensive schemes require more running around. Fewer minutes but more sprinting for the same amount of distance ran so more intense on the body.
Doc Rivers possibly returning to historic Amway Arena?

Weird.
There has been persistent chatter for weeks on the NBA's front-office grapevine that the Orlando Magic and Rivers will explore a reunion down the road.
Now, you're certainly not alone if you're wondering whether down the road in this case should be measured in months or years.
More clarity, though, might not be far off.

yep thats the one
The Sixers are only one win behind the Kings. You know, for the loserbros that follow lottery nonsense and pick swaps.
don't know how a tanking team could even think of hiring doc when he could barely progress with the clips
shit the bar wasn't even that high with the clips and he hasn't hit that

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postdon't know how a tanking team could even think of hiring doc when he could barely progress with the clipsWell to be fair it's because he is a bad GM more than his coaching

By blackace Go To PostWell to be fair it's because he is a bad GM more than his coaching
injury problems too, but my god he's the last guy I'd hire for a GM + Coaching role right now for a young team
The Timberwolves, desperate for bodies at this point, have signed Omri Casspi. I would 100% play him over Brandon Rush.

Particularly when Vogel isn't terrible.
And GM Doc wasn't great.
I think Doc is better than Vogel... but not massively. Not the missing piece.
By pkaz01 Go To PostNo Booker tonight? McD is going all inAnkle

Bench
Dudley, Williams, Eddie.
Who da fuk is Eddie?
By giririsss Go To PostSeriously. I don't even know what this line up is.They signed him to a 10 day contract today lol.. leading scorer fuck. Ulis with 9/7 at halftime. 6 assists in first quarter surrounded by those guys.. what a beast

I'm not even sure we can trade him now.
doc is probably happening. orlando is an overly sentimental franchise and with rob being not successful + an outside hire they'll take it as confirmation bias that the 'alternative' way doesnt work.
Jackson may eventually be able to find players who excel in – and appreciate – the triangle. But the majority of current Knicks aren't comfortable in – and don't care for – the offense, according to sources.lol
These players often point to the amount of midrange shots the offense produces (the Knicks lead the league in midrange attempts, per NBA.com) and the tight spacing, which makes it difficult to drive. They also question the amount of contested shots taken (New York ranks in the top 10 in contested 2-point field goals, per NBA.com).
Some Knicks also feel that the offense is easy to defend. Opposing players have told the Knicks that they can predict where they'll be when running the triangle, and one Eastern Conference coach last season told friends that defending the triangle was one of the easiest assignments in the league because of that.
Ntilinka is going to need some time to develop. Like, he's not a real strong playmaker right now. I wouldn't trust the Knicks one bit to do this. Especially when he's just going to go stand in the corner as a triangle PG.
By s y Go To PostSo whatever happened to Mario Henzonja?He was ruined when Bill Simmons claimed he was gonna be the best player of the draft, and then add Scott Skiles to the mix? RIP
So... if Det lose this game, Reggie Jackson and Drummonds trade value plummet, right?
I mean, they're not sky high now. But .... You're getting handled by Tyler Ullis and Jarelle Eddie.

Also trader Bob in LA makes too much sense
By reilo Go To PostWait, PSY, Luke Babbitt is a starter? LOLHey, it's working.
By blackace Go To PostDoc is way better than Vogel but they don't have much to work with for him to coach…
Still one of the most debatable coaching prowess's.
By giririsss Go To PostStill one of the most debatable coaching prowess's.He made one of the sorriest teams in Orlando almost decent even before they got T-Mac and out-coached Phil pretty handily when they won..
By blackace Go To PostHe made one of the sorriest teams in Orlando almost decent even before they got T-Mac and out-coached Phil pretty handily when they won..Didn't Phil return the favor the next year?
And he's really done not very much with this clippers roster that a brown paper bag couldn't have.
Frankly i'd rather have Snyder, Stevens or Spo.
