By diehard Go To Postit makes no sense because Mack is the actual garbageSessions for Exum
who says no
Tell that to 2 time MVP Nash. Or fuck, tell that to D'Antoni who basically teaches standing flat footed on defense as an art form.I have said that about Steve Nash many times.. but at least Mike D tells his whole team to act like Russ... Not just Russ deciding he needs to be like this..
By IWMTB19 Go To PostWiggins is a horrible defensive player.
Wiggins immediately shows me up by... taking a stepback 22 foot jumper that was heavily contested by Hayward and is nowhere close to going in?
What a horrible shot. Hayward ate him alive tonight.
Im gonna say i was totally wrong about Lavine, i never though he could overcome his basketball stupidity.
I think he might be better than Wiggins :/

Stauskas for Exum sounds like a fair trade that benefits everyone.
I think you could coach LaVine up. Wiggins I'm not sure is going to get much better or expand his game.

russ might really average a triple double. if he stays healthy i think he has a better than even chance.
Super surprised by George Hill's scoring this season. Interested to see if he can keep up his 20+ PPG average.

so many garbage point in this jazz-wolves game
Pacers fuckball is a scourge upon the league and every player it touches sans Paul George who is immune somehow and managed to blossom into a butterfly out of the rubble that is that offensive scheme.
Gobert has been all-NBA caliber this year. Obviously Cousins is first team for centers, but Gobert hopefully beats out Whiteside and other people for 3rd team.
Wolves are 5-12.
no excuse to be this shitty with all the talent Thibs has.
really hope they fire him sooner than later.

Probably part of it is Thibs having them unlearn the bad habits they learned last season. But that shouldn't have them at 5-12 and not looking like they're making any improvement.

But that shouldn't have them at 5-12 and not looking like they're making any improvement.lakers young players had to deal with scott for 2 years with all the bullshit, psychological and terrible habits as well.
and yet Luke virtually changed directions over night.
this strictly is on Thibs and his draconian style of coaching.
plus the Wolves are far more talented than the Lakers.
... The Lakers are the worst defensive team in the league.
The Timberwolves will be good once Wiggins and KAT learn how to play defense (which should happen considering that they were great defenders in college and have elite tools but... we'll see I suppose).

Someone else also left after last year...
By Kabro Go To Postlakers young players had to deal with scott for 2 years with all the bullshit, psychological and terrible habits as well.I agree with this! I don't really think it's the record that matters because they are you... they are just playing bad basketball

and kat is picking up more and more bad habits each week
By pilonv1 Go To PostBehind Portlanand dont forget Brooklyn!
By DY_nasty Go To Postwiggins has no hearthe shoots 3s like his last name is Curry
and kat is picking up more and more bad habits each week
By blackace Go To PostI agree with this! I don't really think it's the record that matters because they are you… they are just playing bad basketballI dunno, me thinks the only difference between Scott and Thibs is that Thibs actually tells his players directly how shitty they are.
By DY_nasty Go To Postlol noIf they score above a 100 it usually means they went to OT.
Maybe I'm being too harsh. McMillan ball isn't fuckball but it's an extremely outdated and ISO heavy slow em up offense as they come. He's evolved almost none as an offensive coach.
By blackace Go To Posthe shoots 3s like his last name is CurryWiggins is 3-22 from deep in his last 6 games
By reilo Go To PostIf they score above a 100 it usually means they went to OT.no one is blossoming when they leave indy

george hill's role is simply different. lance and hibbert basically had mid-life crises once they left

By DY_nasty Go To Postbut blackace……I can't hate on Mac-10... TBF the team is LOADED with hero iso ball players /shrug
By diehard Go To PostWiggins is 3-22 from deep in his last 6 games
I was really surprised at how he was a 40%+ shooter from out there just like a week and a half ago. That regression to the mean happened fast as fuck.

Michael or Eddy?
By reilo Go To PostPacers fuckball is a scourge upon the league and every player it touches sans Paul George who is immune somehow and managed to blossom into a butterfly out of the rubble that is that offensive scheme.
Which is the reason why they replaced the head coach but kept the defensive coach. Which is also the reason I think they're underperforming & are going to get better as the season goes on.
By blackace Go To PostI can't hate on Mac-10… TBF the team is LOADED with hero iso ball players /shrugI'll never forgive him bringing Andre Miller off the bench cause he was more comfortable having Steve Blake run his "offense".
By pilonv1 Go To PostMichael or Eddy?he shooting like 38% so don't act so smug with it
By reilo Go To PostI'll never forgive him bringing Andre Miller off the bench cause he was more comfortable having Steve Blake run his "offense".
What happens when Reilo has to choose between two mediocre Blazers? Hurt feelings, that's what!
I kid I kid.
By reilo Go To PostI'll never forgive him bringing Andre Miller off the bench cause he was more comfortable having Steve Blake run his "offense".
Him and KC were never meant to be there anyways
By blackace Go To Posthe shooting like 38% so don't act so smug with it
Just see this trending down to sub 35% by the end of the season
By reilo Go To PostFool, did you just call Andre Miller mediocre?
I mean, ya. Whatever greatness he had lied in his longevity and durability - not his actual in season performance. Dudes that lose the starting job to Steve Blake are the dictionary defintion of mediocrity.
Dude played 30-32 mpg while in Portland and got you 14 and 5. That's mediocrity.

By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostI mean, ya. Whatever greatness he had lied in his longevity and durability - not his actual in season performance. Dudes that lose the starting job to Steve Blake are the dictionary defintion of mediocrity.I think you lack context on the whole saga. That was all Nate McMillan bullshit -- he said before camp even opened that Steve Blake would be a starter and that Andre had to "earn it". Some Byron Scott bullshit. And 14 and 5 in the slowest, ISO-heavy offense of the era at 87.9 Pace (30th in league) makes those numbers great at his age. In his prime LaMarcus only averaged 17FGA that season because Nate didn't know how to run a proper offense. That's about the same Pace the Pistons ran in 2005.

I'm just saying man. You talk ish because of my views on Kobe and Phil while you catch feelings about two mediocre players having different rotations than you would prefer.
there is just something about mediocre blazers you put a lot of emotional effort into.
