By Kabro Go To Postits our interior D that's the glaring problem.Mozgov was fine tonight, it was three pointers that killed you.
we're getting killed inside every night.
I dont know what the hell Luke was thinking of why Mozgov was the primary choice instead of going after Bizmax :(
By shun Go To PostSee I'm trying to understand it because this is still kind of a foreign concept to me how these things work. I'm a foreign youngblood.He's paying for that education with this own money, not with his Ohio State scholarship. That's long gone.
This only come up because I see that Greg Oden, after making what he did, is back at school to finish up and working as a development coach at his university.
By Forever Go To PostMozgov was fine tonight, it was three pointers that killed you.interior defense can effect your 3 point defense a lot
Shun, if you want a good and entertaining documentary about the lengths schools will go to in order to give players money and possessions under the table, watch Pony Excess. It also will show you how much and, at the same time, how little power the NCAA has over its member institutions.
By Forever Go To PostMozgov was fine tonight, it was three pointers that killed you.disagree. our perimeters players could easily overplay 3pt attempts if our paint defense wasn't shit.
this has been happening game in game out.
e: and its not just Movgov, RAndle doesn't have the mental makeup to play hardnose defense.
By pilonv1 Go To PostFuck me that's nuts.
Wow
Owner has to be cool with getting a luxury tax enema though.
ROY Andrew Harrison is -12 in a 16 point game and just went 2-1 in a three game stretch against GSW and the Cavs*
By Kabro Go To Postdisagree. our perimeters players could easily overplay 3pt attempts if our paint defense wasn't shit.I agree about Randle. I think your offense was a bigger problem tonight though. D'Angelo got 3 fouls in the first 10 minutes and shot 20%.

The refs made so many bad calls that they decided they should never blow their whistle for the rest of the night. Which is uhh...

3. Kenny Atkinson, Brooklyn Nets
I am comfortable calling the Brooklyn Nets the most inspiring 6-17 team in NBA history. The Nets entered this season with no hope — they have a roster of limited players and cast-offs, they have no first-round picks for several years, and they imported middling free agents this summer only because they had to spend the money somewhere. It would have been very easy for them to become the team everyone avoided on League Pass, a club with nothing to recommend to anyone with any interest in the future of the league.
And yet, while the Nets are only a little better than expected and haven’t happened upon a particularly innovative method of rebuilding, Atkinson has them playing as hard as anyone in the league. They come back from big deficits, push playoff teams farther than they have any right to, and simply do not quit. The motivation is unclear — perhaps the individual players just want to maximize their earning potential — but the result is often thrilling to watch.
Against the odds, the Nets have become one of my favorite teams on League Pass. Instead of wallowing in hopelessness, they’ve turned it into a rallying cry.
"Sometimes I want Mack to retire as a Jazzman. Sometimes I wish his retirement was today."
what a great line
what a great line
Dante Exum got a T for... Rodney Hood shoving Enes Kanter?
These refs are not very good at their jobs.
Gobert has become prime Tyson Chandler on offense and that's pretty awesome.

Why is Westbrook still in this game.
The Thunder are down 16 on the road on the second night of a back to back with four minutes left against the slowest paced team in the NBA.
Westbrook just intentionally fouled Withey so he could take himself out of the game, lol.

This is a really cool video about some ankle and knee bio-mechanics that make a player more prone to injury:
Shun, here is another good thing the NBA is doing in the next CBA which makes it even more important to get in the league as soon as you get a chance:
By diehard Go To Postthe Spurs being statistically significantly on defense worse when Kawhi is on the floor is wtfDid you read the Matt Moore article on his theory as to why?

rofl.. I don't know if it is because he is SO GOOD on D that he hurts them.. Just sounds like teams are targeting the soft spots in their D
By blackace Go To Postrofl.. I don't know if it is because he is SO GOOD on D that he hurts them.. Just sounds like teams are targeting the soft spots in their DSorta. But he's been good enough to the point that teams will do what they can to just take him completely out of a play and go 4v4 in the halfcourt. I'm not quite sure I have seen that done to someone for such a long stretch of time.
It's also kind of what makes Green a more valuable defender for the Warriors; he can help off of bigs much more safely than Kawhi helping off of wings and guards. GSW also has a bunch more solid defenders around Draymond so there is even less incentive to pull just that one defender out of the play.

I mean but that doesn't mean he is TOO GOOD. Just that teams are taking him out of plays like they would a great CB. I am a little shocked that so many teams are doing it...
I mean LMA is an ok defender... Pau was a bad defender before he got old... Tony Parker shouldn't even be starting anymore.. Green forgot he was a 3&D guy... heaven forbid you have Manu out there instead of Green... Just makes too much sense.. lol
He's "too good" in relation to his teammates, yeah. Not sure if there is another team with such a discrepancy like that.
The win the Jazz got in SA, Hood just camped outside the 3 point line and took Kawhi out of the game on defense. No intention of him even catching the ball.
By Kibner Go To PostHe's "too good" in relation to his teammates, yeah. Not sure if there is another team with such a discrepancy like that.Just his teammates suck on D...
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostKelly with a start and a DNP for Kieff?Sore left foot
…. Soon.
By Kibner Go To PostThat reminds me. Apparently Harden now has more triple doubles in Rockets history than even Hakeem.But Hakeem still has more quadruple doubles
