georgetown about to be lit
all these kids on fast breaks...everybody just banging nowadays with ease.
de'aaron fox was doing this same shit in warm ups when i saw him play and rek my HS in person. Sitting there like wtf. Just easy 1 2 bounce windmill between legs bs.
The TNT personality and former Boston Celtics, Minnesota Timberwolves and Brooklyn Nets forward talked about his love for basketball and today’s young players. But his most enlightening comments came when talking candidly about his old teams.
I like individuals, not so much on the organizations. Obviously I’m gonna be with Minnesota and the players. Not so much upstairs. I don’t really deal with Minnesota’s upstairs. They suck. But Boston, all day. You know I’m a C ‘till I die. I always root for Brooklyn. But other than that I don’t really get into too many of the upstairs.

Rockets are -7 against Spurs tonight.....that's too much...
By s y Go To PostKuzma is averaging 16 & 7 on 58%TS wow
he's pretty good
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthe's pretty goodMore people would be talking about him if it wasn't they so busy shitting on Ball.
By s y Go To PostKuzma is averaging 16 & 7 on 58%TS wow
Hate all you want on Lopez, but D'Lo for Kuzma has worked out pretty well for both teams.
Edit: McClung is 6'2?!? I'm watching these clips like "Damn he's got some hops, must be at least 6'5 in HS, gonna be Hayward status soon". Nope.
Zach Lowe going in on DY's boys:
Relevant to Wednesday night's discussion:
Charlotte is down to 22nd in points per possession, with a predictable offense that hasn't evolved much – in part because the personnel has stayed the same. It has regressed, really. Only 29 percent of Charlotte's shots have come from deep, fifth lowest in the league. They had the fourth-highest such share two seasons ago. They are dead last, or close, every season in corner 3s – an inevitable result when your best 3-point shooters are either ball handlers who work up high (Walker, Batum), or guys who sets picks for them (Williams). When Walker sits, they are a G League team.
Relevant to Wednesday night's discussion:
Howard is rejuvenated, but his post game isn't helping – even when it looks good. Post-ups have accounted for 38 percent of Howard's possessions, the highest such figure since his first year in Houston, per Synergy Sports. Only four rotation guys – LaMarcus Aldridge, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, and Joel Embiid – average more post touches per possession, according to Second Spectrum Data. He's not productive enough to justify that volume.
Howard is shooting 48 percent on post-ups, a solid number, but he is bleeding turnovers. He has coughed it on almost 25 percent of his post-ups, the sixth-highest mark among 85 rotation guys who have finished at least 20 such plays, per Synergy. (The five below him: Kelly Olynyk, Draymond Green, Dario Saric, DeAndre Jordan, and Ben Simmons.) He doesn't compensate with inside-out assists.
Put it all together, and Howard post-ups are producing about 0.78 points per possession. You don't divert the offense this often for 0.78 points. You could argue Charlotte has no better option beyond Walker running pick-and-roll, but it's time to build one.
Charlotte can still be a midtier playoff team with better health. It is really hard to see any pathway to something better.
By s y Go To PostYeah, if Houston stays healthy, they're definitely taking GSW.
I'd take GSW without Curry or KD over them.
Houston couldn't beat the Spurs last year without Kawhi and Tony Parker. I don't see them challenging a healthy GSW.

It was so weird to see in action. Charlotte got blitzed with a 25-0 run, and they were content to dump it into Dwight. Aight lol

It's weird because somehow Monk is in the doghouse? Dude is that mini Jamal Crawford their O needs and he barely plays.
Trading Dwight posts ups for 3s wasn't going to do anything for you, outside of suppressing Dwight calls for touches postgame. Maybe that was the end game.
charlotte can't win--they were destined for Donovan Mitchell until Knicks fuckery forced Monk into their hands
Idk how the Knicks picking the guy they were rumored to want for weeks before the draft constitutes fuckery but whatevs...
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postcharlotte can't win–they were destined for Donovan Mitchell until Knicks fuckery forced Monk into their handsYou talking about selecting the French Prince?
Comes off a 13-5-5 game vs. LA where he played most of the 4th and OT. Keeps playing D by affecting passing lanes his his pterodactyl wingspan, drops dimes, improved shooting and growing confidence. Slow gradual progression as he gets used to the NBA.
By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostHate all you want on Lopez, but D'Lo for Kuzma has worked out pretty well for both teams.I thought the Lakers already had the pick after the one they used to pick Kuzma and probably could have picked him there?
Edit: McClung is 6'2?!? I'm watching these clips like "Damn he's got some hops, must be at least 6'5 in HS, gonna be Hayward status soon". Nope.
By Kibner Go To PostKyrie please. Ain't nothing particularly intellectual or challenging about the flat earthing. Of all the shit to put a critical eye on. Ugh.
By Kibner Go To PostInteresting though likely useless:
Is this saying you don't need good shots, just good shooters?
By Kibner Go To PostI don't see it at all the Ms are completely different.
By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostIs this saying you don't need good shots, just good shooters?That's the most frustrating thing about the modern game. Watching your team brick good looks generated by ball movement while the other team just walks into contested 3's suuucks.
It's got the M on the bottom (MAN) It's just not nearly as tall. Then it also has that underline. Although on the sign it's AM as a strong verb, on the jersey it's just EMPHI, which is like uh ok.
By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostZach Lowe going in on DY's boys:its entirely mcw and batum lol. cliff put way too much hope in them

Every year 2K somehow cant get the uniforms correctly(colors, font etc) even though they say they they scan them.
You can't trust them.
You can't trust them.
By giririsss Go To PostI somehow think people are mistaking "inspired by" with "exact replica".Usually when something is "inspired by" it tries to imitate or look remotely similar?
You could've said that uni was inspired by road STOP and YIELD signs or something.
Inspired by is fine it just doesn't really do much in that sense either so it's failure on multiple fronts.
By The Frankman Go To PostUsually when something is "inspired by" it tries to imitate or look remotely similar?The line under the city name and the very plain design.
You could've said that uni was inspired by road STOP and YIELD signs or something.
I'm not saying i would have figured it out if it wasn't pointed out. But now that it's pointed out... yeah.
Saw less about how they're going to beat the warriors and just more shitting on Beverly and blowing Paul. Nothing even against doin' all that but fuck that clickbait title.

Always bet on Harden and CP3 in the playoffs.
By Mariosalic Go To PostAlways bet on Harden and CP3 in the playoffs.in math, two negatives make a positive
By knux-future Go To Postwatch as OKC gets their shit together all of a sudden tonightnah they will lose.
By reilo Go To PostHouston couldn't beat the Spurs last year without Kawhi and Tony Parker. I don't see them challenging a healthy GSW.I agree with the conclusion, but the reasoning is about as logical as saying Portland were the 9th worst defense last season, can't see them being anything above mediocre this season.
Haven't had the time to do the minutes analysis, but D'Antoni not being able to trust the guys 10-12 on this roster is my concern. Wondering how they'd stack up against the Warriors seems kinda pointless when I don't have any faith this team won't have run out of gas by the end of the regular season.
We (old) Toronto West / Clippers 2.0 until proven otherwise.
