imho boogie isnt going to contribute much to the dubs hes coming off the worst basketball injury and his style of play is a terrible fit, he might be able to help them with bench scoring towards the end of the year but i wldnt be surprised to see him mostly fall out of their playoff rotation

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 19:53 (seven years ago)

yeah he wont be in the closing lineups and wont play enough to be eligible for 6man. there is footage of him practicing today, looks very labored, i dont expect him until the all star break and no one looks even remotely like themselves until year two after that injury. he's here to ride the wave and be on a winning team while he rehabs. there's maybe a 2% chance he stays with the team but its contingent on if kd leaves.

i think the LeBron Lakers will have one game (maybe even the first meeting) where they utterly decimate the Warriors bc LBJ will make it personal and GSW will underestimate them, but then the other meetings will be lopsided destructions in favor of GSW.

Unless Nurkic and some of the untested bench players take big steps ahead, the Blazers will be very lucky to win 45 and get the eighth playoff spot this season. Underperforming, to my mind, would be ending the season under .500. They're already talking up Meyers Leonard's preseason play, which seems like a bad sign to me.

yeah aimless i have portland just a hair under .500 and around 10th in the west which seems like an underperformance to me. wild cards would be a major trade of say lillard for prospects and the blazers tanking it out or firing stotts. both seemed more likely before allen died; presumably the FO will prioritize stability in his wake.

i mean, not really haha. bryn forbes and patty mills are it. forbes is starting and he's a great shooter (5-8 from 3 tonight) but he does not have the defensive chops at all. first two games in and the opposing PG has been the leading scorer. he's a little bigger than patty though and gives better chase through screens as far as i can tell. this is why losing dejounte was so bad. derrick white should be back and he's v good, bigger than forbes or mills with real playmaking and PnR skills and some outside shooting. they'll be steadier in a month or two when he gets back.

i hate to say it but i think patty is washed. i love him as a human being and they obv need some leadership in sa after all their roster changes, but he is a liability on the floor if he doesn't hit 3s.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 21 October 2018 06:23 (seven years ago)

Yeah absolutely horrendous contracts. I was expecting Patty to get packaged with Kawhi - but I'm not sure if PATFO convinced themselves they needed a more consistent 3 shooter, with Danny icyhot.

I did enjoy 9 assists for DeRozan which was a part of his game I was kind of ignorant about. Could be a loooooong season though.

i bet they'll get more than just a couple. nba has had a good run of no incidents like these since malice at the palace and has had a lot of good PR in recent seasons. i dont think itll be 20 games but at least a handful if not double digits.

xps they have the same problem that they had last year, outside of their big 3 shooters, they have minimal outside shooting. jarebko may help but who knows how much he'll play. Also, just like last year, their wing depth is abysmal. If/when Iggy misses time again they have nothing behind kd/klay, the guy they drafted should probably spend his season in the g league and who knows whats going on with mccaw.

I like the idea of going young with hungry and unproven guys and giving it a whole season to see if any of them can crack the top 8-9 rotation. theyre giving damian jones a look now and will probably give the same shot to bell at some point. looney has improved and is the backup plan when those guys arent getting it done.

they also just played 3 tough teams, a road split in denver/utah isnt bad. this week looks a lot easier with phx/wiz/knicks/nets. kd/klay only have two threes combined through 3 games.

― k3vin k., Tuesday, 23 October 2018 03:08 (seven years ago)

they were such a hard team to project but to me the way lebron could elevate an east team with mediocre talent was unlikely to transfer fully to the west; also i just don't like most of the other lakers players. like what is actually good about brandon ingram? i haven't been able to figure it out.

― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 03:08 (seven years ago)

idk i wasn't willing to put in a doomsday prediction because the roster is so weird and has lebron on it but it definitely struck me as way less than the sum of its parts, like if you were trying to specifically construct a team where lebron wouldn't be worth +20 wins how much different would it look than this?

Ayton is so bad on D. His motor runs at about 60% he’s got bust written all over him (early overreaction I know but still the early returns and issues he had in college show the truth).

The Lakers letting Randle walk so they could make room for rondo is one of the biggest headscratchers of the offseason. I think he signed for less than what rondo is making.

they have no shooting (outside of Hart) and their best defensive player is ... lonzo ball? there's a ton to figure out there with the lineups and how all these random pieces fit on the court. it will take time but even at peak i dont see this team making any noise. lebron wont be able to take long stretches off like he could in the east. hes gonna have to play like playoff lebron night in and night out just to get into the playoffs. some silver lining tho javale has looked pretty good and josh hart looks really good.

The deal that never was included Paul going to the Lakers, Pau Gasol heading to the Rockets. New Orleans would have received Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Lamar Odom, Goran Dragic and a 2012 first-round pick that Houston had acquired from the Knicks.

On Dec. 15, Paul was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman, forward Al-Farouq Aminu and Minnesota's unprotected 2012 first-round pick.

― shwarmaduke (symsymsym), Wednesday, 24 October 2018 16:58 (seven years ago)

not to defend the GMing of Dell Demps, but Dragic would arguably be the best player in either deal...never thought the gap between the two packages was that large anyway. but whatever, fuck the lakers.

Both 22yrs but have to admit Sabonis’s inside game is so much more polished with one less year in the league; not sure if Turner’s outside game really makes up the difference, esp. considering Sabonis is probably a better passer and rebounder atm.

Yeah, Turner contract still seems fine – this time last year Pacers were debating a Turner max deal, so 4/$72 is totally manageable, and might end up being very team-friendly as he hits his prime. Sabonis is going to play himself into a really generous extension, though. He’s doing most of his damage against 2nd teams, but there’s a chance they try to play Turner/Sabonis less together and just max out Sabonis’ minutes. He has little TRex arms but not sure that’s as damaging now as it might’ve been with more post play.

Tyreke has been ballin fine so far. Very deep bench, so they're still figuring out how much to use him. Think they're realizing that healthy Tyreke vs. 2nd teams is a no-brainer, so the more they can have him drive-kick to McDermott (and now Joseph, who has played better than Collison so far), the better. Basically, just 30 Tyreke/Sabonis pnrs a game, with Tyreke making the decisions rather than Joseph. Only minus for Tyreke so far is that he's been settling for jumpers, but he's still a decent enough shooter to let it slide.

“What did you do with them?”

Shaw said he threw ‘em back in the water.

Kobe got mad and said Shaw should’ve killed them: “They gotta pay the price for getting caught.” pic.twitter.com/Shsl4l68lM

some notes through the first week and change:

-celtics are still the best defense but at the bottom on offense so far along with okc
-spurs are the worst defense (!)
-huge jump in 3pt attempts for the bucks
-pace is up considerably across the board. lakers playing a much higher pace so far than any past lebron team iirc
-cavs are not good at anything

the guys who would be more versatile defensively (can switch on screens etc) are...murray, walker, and white. they're all injured. the rest of their guys are not world-beating defenders (aldridge is v good tho). the defense should improve when white (and later walker) comes back bc he's a big young guard. but yeah. it's rough.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 28 October 2018 03:29 (seven years ago)

celtics finally but together a dece offensive game, feel like when theyre playing well on either side of the ball theyre just kinda easy and solid, like theyre not a swarming dominant D but they contest every shot, likewise on offense with ball movement its not hard for them to find good looks since they have so many guys, they dont really need fireworks with the depth of skill they have on that team, kinda thinking one of the —keys— to this season is kyrie being more of a facilitator which is something he can easily do but has not wanted to in the past, they just have so many guys its kinda silly for him to force those degree of difficulty shots, he created 3 or 4 wide open threes tonight just by driving and kicking in semi transition, feel like he cld do that then take over in the fourth when necessary which is a classic approach since youve conserved energy through the first 3 quarters and the defense doesnt really have time to adjust to you turning shifting into scoring mode

also the rookie rob williams checked into the game for the first time in the 4th w the celtics up by ~20 and they ran this play for him

For at least the last two CBAs, the one thing a mid-market or small-market team cannot afford to do is badly overpaying one of your high draft picks just to keep him from jumping ship, in the hope he'll finally deliver on the highest hopes you had when you picked him on draft day.

Hey, there's no commentators or court audio on the Bulls vs Warriors stream, neither HOME / AWAY or Mobile View. It's 99% silence, can only hear the Bulls announcer for points / faults. can you let someone know to fix it?

spurs are doing this thing where they dont take a lot of 3s but they hit a high pctage. so teams are like 3PA happy (dallas: 10-34) and spurs (9-20) make about as many while letting demar shoot 20 2PAs.

i must have told this story here but i ran into my uncle and cousin on the td garden concourse a couple years ago when the blazers were in town. they were there with a big arlington contingent to support connaughton when he was a rookie. the game got into garbage time in the 4th so he actually played a bunch and tyou could here the crowd cheering for him, it was cool.

the Wolves are just like...impossible right now...either they play like shit in Milwaukee or they play well so you're either pissed or you can't really get invested because they never win without Jimmy being a big part of it and obviously that's going to end at some point, so like both wins and losses feel like losses to some degree

yeah, looks like they're using him correctly as a stretch 4 and letting wc-s just be a pick and roll dive guy with shooters around him, makes a lot of sense.

i frequently don't understand why dave joeger does things but when he was dicking around playing 4 PFs at a time in the preseason was he trying to hide this lineup or something? this isn't the nfl.

I understand rookie addiction now. I never did before, you know. How could a man do something so self-destructive, knowing that they’re hurting not only themselves, but the people they love? It seemed that it would be so incredibly easy for them to just not to watch the next time, not to tune into the garbage time minutes. Just stop. It’s so simple, really. But as so often happens with me, my arrogance kept me from seeing the truth of the matter.

I see it now though.

Every day, I tell myself it will be the last. Every night, as I’m falling asleep watching Shai Gilgeous-Alexander jack up threes in the final minutes of a blow-out, I tell myself that tomorrow I’ll do something productive. It doesn’t matter where I go, as long as it’s not here, watching Josh Okogie get a rare run out from Thibs. I need to get away from the Phoenix games — away from Knicks games — before this goes even one step further.

And then Cavs-Hawks is first up on a cold Tuesday night, and my convictions disappear like smoke in the wind, totally unable to accept that I'm Huertering my family as well as myself.

he's still a very good player and a change of scenery might help.

if drummond had turned into a better defender things would be different but he hasn't been that guy.

my question on ariza was sort of rhetorical but the way i recall that going was that the first reports were him signing with phx for the 15 mil. idk, maybe he really did want to be somewhere else. my best guess is the rockets thought he was about to decline and also thought he was replaceable with a min guy. call me old-fashioned but when you're two quarters away from the finals you go all in to retain the people that were involved in that, especially when the years are short.

i feel like porter's skill set is valued enough that they could eventually trade him to a team fancying itself as a contender for a first round pick in the high teens or 20s. kinda like the bojan bogdanovich/jeff green/marcin gortat trades of yesteryear. wall's contract is so insane that i feel like the only teams that would do it would be like... phoenix or sacramento or whatever.

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 15:26 (seven years ago)

there's not very many 50/40/80 guys. he shot over 43% the last two seasons from 3. that's elite. he should be shooting 7 per game. he's never had a good coach, might have something to do with it.

― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Wednesday, 31 October 2018 15:32 (seven years ago)

yeah my point was that you can't be paying people big contracts that represent their actual value, which is what porter (and wall) has. in order to get enough talent to contend within the limitations of the cap you need to get the guys that are so good that you can't pay them what they're worth because the max prevents it.

or in the rarer Celtics case find lots of guys who will outplay their perceived value in your system or outplay their rookie contracts

― ciderpress, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 15:32 (seven years ago)

it's true. warriors as well, obv.

― ciderpress, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 15:41 (seven years ago)

i guess they could also just take discounts like kd that's the problem with the cap as a competitive balance tool is it assumes the difference between making 20m and 30m matters to everyone when it's actually meaningless in a practical sense

there's a lot of factors but potentially yes. porter is obv overpaid but he is an elite shooter, I havent watched them enough to know if he just doesnt have the motor to be a 20 ppg player. maybe he just hates playing with wall.

i watched a bunch of donic highlight videos and he has a preternatural feel for the game but also very notably slow feet out of ~50 made baskets i watched he had 1 layup that wasnt a put back he relies a ton on floaters step backs and so forth aka difficult shots also the kind of shots a determined defense can take away, will be interesting to see what happens with him maybe if he gets in better shape his athleticism will improve a lil, really cool player does fun stuff out there has his head on a swivel but if he cant figure out a way to get to the rim i dont think hes gonna be the star a lot of ppl are expecting, and on defense hes prob just hopeless

This is all the stuff I said about James Harden

― lag∞n, Friday, 2 November 2018 14:45 (seven years ago)

i think it will be hard to tell until luca gets in better shape. maybe he can't get faster but he can at least get stronger and get to the rim that way.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 2 November 2018 15:08 (seven years ago)

man idk hes like really slow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRth8rxEjH4

more likely path to stardom is to get at good at hitting in between shots as most guys are at layups a la cp3, which obvs is very not easy but he does seem to be ridiculously good at basketball but so who knows

lol we called this mess. good luck finding any coach to convince lebron to try on defense in the reg season.

― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Friday, 2 November 2018 17:11 (seven years ago)

those luka highlights are interesting. there's one play from the 3rd i think where he's going coast-to-coast and is maybe at top speed. it doesn't seem like he has a great first step but also looks like he's going slower at times so he can scan and find guys for dimes. also i think he takes that floater sometimes b/c he doesn't want to try and power through defenders at the rim. he certainly has the size and frame to get stronger if he ever wants to be more physical down there.

it does seem like he has a lot of room for floaters and whatnot because everyone is staying home and taking away passing lanes. should be fun to watch him evolve.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 2 November 2018 17:55 (seven years ago)

yeah hes def a cool player, seems like a natural point forward, tho obvs playmaking is a lil trickier if you cant get past the second level of D

one thing i noticed watching giannis last nite is a ton of his baskets are from post moves but not post ups really instead he dribble drives into them so the defense doesnt have time to read the situation

one thing i noticed watching giannis last nite is a ton of his baskets are from post moves but not post ups really instead he dribble drives into them so the defense doesnt have time to read the situation

Giannis can turn things into post ups real quick because if you give him one step it’s a dunk

― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 2 November 2018 18:40 (seven years ago)

I saw a couple of his spin moves cut together and it’s disgusting, he starts a half step in from the three line and over a two step spin move he’s at the basket

They are a ton of fun this year. Last year felt like a burden watching some of their reg season games. Dray (Draymond Green) is locked in on D (defense). He’s openly gunning for that DPOY (defensive player of the year) award as he’ll be available to get the supermax extension if he earns it.

This Alfonzo Mckinnie thing is inspirational.

dante cunningham proving to be a v important role player signing this season. once he was slotted into the starting lineup at PF (with LA moving to the 5 and pau and poeltl getting less minutes), he's stabilized the defense. he's been shooting BAD but tonight he's been gooooood.

― call all destroyer, Sunday, 4 November 2018 02:01 (seven years ago)

pop probably realized that he cant play many lineups with 2 traditional bigs, so having 3 centers is not super necessary. you see dante and rudy and bertans playing the 4 a lot more with LA or Pau at the 5. pau is still pretty slow in his lateral movement, but he's still a great passer and outside shooter and is tall. i think pau might be gone after this year, so i think poeltl will step into a backup C role to LA once pau is retired or elsewhere.

"I mean, it's great to win, period," James said when asked about winning amid the drama surrounding Walton. "Listen, coaching staff put us in a position to win, and it's up to us to go up and execute.

"Luke can care less about what's going on outside. We could as well. I'm the last person to ask about scrutiny or anything of that nature. So none of that stuff matters to me. The only thing that matters to me is what goes on inside this locker room, both home and away."

i was trying to figure out why the celtics offense is so bad (27th in o-rating) so i started researching. as i suspected, they're 29th in FTA and FT% which is not good. but 28th in both is....the raptors (3rd in o-rating).

when you look further the celtics and raptors have extremely similar offensive profiles except the raptors shoot 5-6% better on 2-pt shots. the celtics need to take better 2s or at least take 2s that give them a chance to get to the line.

― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 15:57 (seven years ago)

If (too early to speculate but I’ll do it anyway) Hayward doesn’t return to all star level, that puts a massive spanner in the Celtics’ build towards the chip. He’ll definitely be opting into the $34m 2020/21 year if so.

Hot take. I think if he doesn’t pick up by seasons end we’ll see Ainge trade Hayward for a star with one year left that has no intentions to sign another deal with their current team (next years Jimmy Butler if you will). If they can’t entice the star to stay long term, at least they can afford to pay their young guns.

hayward is good btw hes actually the type of star you want on a stacked team cause he doesnt need the ball in his hands is more of a cutter screener etc type score can defend multiple positions rebound and so forth, obvs after missing a year its gonna take him a min to get up to speed/gel w da team

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 16:35 (seven years ago)

they really have not been consistently "clicking"

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 16:42 (seven years ago)

really ultimately you want the offense running through kyrie and al but brad isnt going to take that approach for the whole season because he wants to keep those guys fresh and get the whole team dialed so its kinda a trick to get the whole thing humming, not sure thats really the cause of their current struggles but its part of the puzzle

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 16:45 (seven years ago)

but on the other hand when they have clicked its pretty obvious what that looks like, lots of driving and kicking attacking on the break swinging the ball after it hits the paint etc, so i think theyll get there its not brain science to be good when u have their level of talent

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 16:48 (seven years ago)

i think they are playing it right in boston. give gordo his minutes and let him get back over time. he should be looking like himself by the end of the year. the mental hurdles after an injury like that are what take the most time to clear. there was bound to be some regression with Taytum, Brown and Rozier, they all punched above their weight class last year and have to figure out their normal roles now. They have regressed a little too far and it should average out soon enough. We know brother brad is a great coach but now we will see how he does with balancing egos/minutes/rotations with a stacked squad. If you're going to struggle, way better to do it at the beginning of the season.

― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 16:49 (seven years ago)

yeah their young guns def experiencing some sophomore blues via early success/high expectations and need to chill and let the game come to them in a secondary role/flex when the stars sit

The young dudes are (mildly) regressing but they are still stupid good! It’s annoying!

I would love to see Jaylen Brown as a first or second option on a team. They wouldn’t be a championship team (or likely even a good playoff team) but they would be fun to watch. Regardless of my hatred of the Celtics, I RSVPed to some Harvard bullshit he’ll be at because I’m a fanboy.

― Allen (etaeoe), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 17:16 (seven years ago)

It’s also annoying that most people agree (including the people above) that the regression is because of bad decision making rather than lack of fitness or skill (I never feel confident making that kind of judgement about young players). They are both obviously super coachable and Uncle Brad will likely work that shit out.

Yeah. I’m not worried. I’d even claim Hayward is super good. I read in that Lowe piece that Beale was adamant that he’s fine after getting destroyed by him in 1-on-1 games over the summer. The skill he showed on a daily basis before the signing was stupid good. I was mostly reacting to the surprisingly quiet Celtics fan (my wife included who I’d described as “annoyed” rather than her usual “trade him immediately reactions”).

nice to know that ballmer found the lob city clippers as annoying as the rest of us:

So he managed with caution and relished the victories. He also cringed at his team's frailties: the playoff flameouts, the untimely gaffes, the constant complaining to referees.
"It was a problem for us," Ballmer says. "We were whiny. Right? I think that was known for the Clippers. I don't want to be that way. That's not who we want to be."

yea that series was a good case study in how a talent advantage can't overtake a team with an actual plan and the ability to adjust. Bledsoe and Freak were not working together at all, Jabari was a disaster on defense, and they had no answer for Al Horford whatsoever. still took it to 7 on the back of Middleton, who really emerged as a star that series. but still. this year's team looks totally different.

Ehh, Simmons being a loner leaves less room for friction with Jimmy. The benefits of Embiid doing whatever he feels like far outweigh the downsides. I think jimmy is more flexible as a player than you’re giving him credit for.

All the same I too am skeptical about the fit but I don’t think Jimmy makes them worse

― call all destroyer, Saturday, 10 November 2018 18:58 (seven years ago)

Their 2 biggest issues are horrible spacing/lack of shooting and being dogshit when Embiid isn’t on the floor.

Jimmy doesn’t directly address either of those issues and they just lost 2 shooters. but they do finally have a valid pnr option to go to which should help Embiid somewhat.

I think either they steamroll teams with their best lineups or Simmons and Fultzs’ issues become overexposed and they regress.

Funnily enough I think the most significant potential blowing up point rests with how jimmy deals with the fultz situation. Everyone in philly seems rabidly protective of Fultz and if he dares to pontificate on his mentality the way he did Wiggins and KAT I don’t think he ever recovers from his heel turn

Now you have to tear it all down again, Thibs/Layden have to go, get in hopefully a coach with modern sensibilities, try to see if KAT and Wiggins can be reengaged...

Such a fuckin mess

Feel like Saric and Convington obv aren't stars but good players to have on a team, though you guys would know more

Hey let's bring back Rambis, dust off the triangle, what a shitshow

― Greta Van Fleek (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 10 November 2018 21:01 (seven years ago)

Covington was first team all defence last season. When he's in the zone, he can lock down the best player on the other team and can hit down the 3 at a good rate. If he works on his consistency I think he could be great value on the current contract.

Saric is also good but has been regressing this season. Hopefully picks up.

Bayless is basically salary filler and I reckon he shouldn't get any minutes under Thibs.

But yeah, get a new coach already so this isn't all wasted

How about Shai G-A. Or even Shai since I think he’s the only one with that name in the league. Or wait until he gets a nickname that people recognize.

Stop with the fucking initials for everyone.

Seems like shai has a sweet highlight play every game. Think he’s already taken the starting slot from Avery?

― Spottie, Saturday, 10 November 2018 23:22 (seven years ago)

Yeah it was communicated he took it last night. Though Avery is out with a foot injury. Can't really see him taking him back on current form though.

― I like Poeltls (fionnland), Saturday, 10 November 2018 23:23 (seven years ago)

He’s talented and I’m pleasantly surprised how quickly he’s adapted to the NBA game. Clippers drafted well.

Maybe you shouldn't sign a max deal with the guy who changed the rules so he could get a max deal even though he was too old under prior rules.

they came sooooo close last year tho

― lag∞n, Sunday, 11 November 2018 04:30 (seven years ago)

rockets are in disarray imo. spurs are missing like 5 guys and demar was shooting p bad, and the rox still never really challenged them.

derrick white in his second game: 14 pts, 8 ast, 4 reb, 2 stls. great playmaking; a lot of those 8 asts were tough needle-threading passes. great d on switches, kept a hand in the face of shooters without risking fouls. once dejounte murray is healthy next year, these two are going to stifle a lot of backcourts and make a killing in transition.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 11 November 2018 04:33 (seven years ago)

this is truly an era of exceptionally ludicrous contracts

Derrick White looked niiice today. Spurs make a lot more sense if that’s gonna be his normal type of production.

Joel Embiid talked with Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins about Jimmy Butler. "They thought that we were definitely going to get along," Embiid told ESPN. "He wants to win. Wiggs told me that he thought that we were going to win the East for sure."

he played exactly the sort of game i expected him to based on his g league/summer league play. he's made a few rookie errors here and there, but he's just got a lot of skill in a lot of areas, lots of little things that are valuable in the league today (closeout defense, switching, intercepting passing lanes, sharp passes, lobs, playing in pnr, outside shooting). he is basically sliding right into manu's role, and what he lacks in experience he upgrades in terms of athleticism.

lakers are beating the kings but even if they win the kings will still have a better record ha

― lag∞n, Sunday, 11 November 2018 04:51 (seven years ago)

honestly the messiest trade idea i can think of is the rockets should trade chris paul to the lakers. rockets might just miss the playoffs and they are stuck with a huge payroll moving forward. cp3 will only get worse. lakers should do it bc the big names might not be there this summer. rockets should do it to not pay luxury tax on a floundering team and get as much value on cp3 before he craters. anyway thats my ted talk. ps - lakers should keep rondo in this deal for max drama.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 11 November 2018 04:57 (seven years ago)

im not enthused by the jimmy trade for either team. i would like it for the sixers except for the part where you have to give jimmy a $185 million contract or whatever it's gonna be. some of the concerns upthread are valid but also i think stuff about fit and whatever is overblown. those are 3 legitimate all star players. my one big concern is just the way jimmy has left both of his teams.

for the wolves i think it's pretty wack... saric is a good player but i don't think makes sense on the wolves, and you have to pay him a big contract in 2 years. idk what offers were still on the table but i think josh richardson is better than him and is on a better contract. but they might've had to take back a bad contract in return.

It’s weird jimmy butler is exceptionally good at basketball and plays really hard and between him scorching two teams and his age and injury history I would not go anywhere near him

And I realize on last years thread I was really disappointed the cs did not go after him before signing Hayward

― gritty tigger reboot (agent hibachi), Sunday, 11 November 2018 16:03 (seven years ago)

Covington & saric are two really solid role players who would be great to arrange around two star players except the wolves have one and he’s not that interested in trying hard and their coach is a huge negative now

yeah this deal def has a uh wide range if potential outcomes for philly but i think it was p much a no brainer, it wldve been better to get someone closer to embiids age but its not like u just have yr pick of jimmy caliber players, of course in a couple years he cld easily be an injured bully making 30m a year

― lag∞n, Sunday, 11 November 2018 19:09 (seven years ago)

btw I like the jimmy deal a lot more for the sixers than for the wolves...you could make the argument that those 4 first rounders they possibly could have gotten from houston were unlikely to yield a player as good as saric or covington, but...what is the plan? those are 2 solid players but it seems like they're consigning themselves to mediocrity in the medium-term now. if you trade for the picks you can at least hope to get lucky with one of them or even have them to flip for another star down the road. now they're just gonna be a borderline playoff team for the next few years

blackouts are national games which u can watch if you have espn tnt abc, and if you live in the philly area all the sixer broadcasts will be blacked out but again you can watch them on whatever local channel plays them if u have it

NBA League Pass Blackout Information
Why Do Blackouts Exist?
Blackout restrictions exist because local and national content providers have certain exclusive rights to televise live content.

What Games Are Affected By Blackouts?
Live, locally televised games are not available for viewing live on NBA League Pass. Blackout restrictions include your local NBA team(s) and all nationally telecast games.

What Happens If I Change My Location?
If your location changes, your blackout restrictions for live, locally televised games may also change. Blackouts are specific to your current location.

How Does the NBA Determine My Location?
Your location is determined by your zip code (if watching via a satellite television provider), a combination of zip code and cable system distribution territory (if watching via a cable television provider), or by the IP address associated with your internet connection or your mobile device's GPS coordinates (if watching via your computer, phone, tablet or connected device).

having dvr makes it way better than streams imho

― lag∞n, Monday, 12 November 2018 22:51 (seven years ago)

I've paid for League Pass the last two seasons. The main reason I paid for it, as opposed to just finding a stream, was for the replay of games the morning after. Now I don't have enough time to watch replays to make it worth it (okay I actually cancelled my subscription in a rage when Boogie joined the Dubs, but the above reasoning is why I haven't resubscribed).

No blackouts because I'm in Europe so can't help you there (run a VPN?).

Also, I can't believe they haven't added a proper archive yet. Say they added all the playoff games from 1988 onwards - hot damn I might pay 1.5 times the current price for access to that.

i'm basically ok with league pass but the nbatv games are also blacked out, which is complete b.s. i can't get nbatv via cable in my town even if i wanted to.

― call all destroyer, Monday, 12 November 2018 23:26 (seven years ago)

i\m in montreal so i'm not worried about local blackouts, guess i gotta look up how many of their games will be on national tv -- is that determined start of season? or like week ot week or something?

lol im so spoiled by mlb.tv in canada (i think... nothing is nblacked out?) that this is just shocking to me. i don't have cable so this is how i do sports

there are 39 national sixers games per another site i found

― call all destroyer, Monday, 12 November 2018 23:56 (seven years ago)

national tv schedule is released before the season but subject to change at their whim, which means they put the sweet games on there if they feel like it, not sure how many national games they show a week in canada but def some you want to watch will be blacked out especially since philly is a good team cursory googling suggests that all games on TSN and/or Sportsnet are blacked out in canada

― Clay, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 01:43 (seven years ago)

the national tv schedule also gets better after xmas. since teams have a cap on the number of times they can be on tv, the best teams get more national tv games as the season goes on. i think it's light at the beginning when football is still on basically.

― ciderpress, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 02:17 (seven years ago)

if you put the warriors aside i think the raptors and bucks have been better than any team in the west. and i think i trust both the celtics and sixers more than the blazers and/or nuggets. and i think what happened to houston's roster is kinda scary. they're super thin... though i do think their 5 of cp3-harden-gordon-tucker-capela is as strong against the warriors as anybody. but if cp gets hurt again i dunno. they have like 7 nba players on their roster.

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 November 2018 02:17 (seven years ago)

which is to say i agree with the take

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 November 2018 02:18 (seven years ago)

i think all the west playoff teams will be better than whoever comes in 5th in the east

1. raptors
2. bucks
3. celtics
4. sixers
5. rockets
6. utah
7. pelicans

... okc? i really think the finals could be a war for the warriors but i don't think they'll be tested until then.

i was listening to dunc'd on earlier and nate was arguing vociferously for trading fultz now. that's going to be tougher after tonight.

fultz is a year removed from being the #1 pick and honestly he looks terrible but it wldve been pretty reasonable to take him over one of the two role players they got back imo, philly being not ready to give up on him or just too embarrassed to move him seems more likely than the wolves not being interested, but idk maybe his name is just mud league wide after this whole yips/looking like hes on the pills scenario

i can def attest to the yips while golfing. i played competitively growing up and def had it on a few occasions. the most humiliating thing you can imagine. it seems way more common in individual sports. basketball players go through slumps but you usually dont have enough time to think and jinx yourself you're just more in the flow of the game with plenty of other stuff to think about (minus FTs obv)

cn someone plz post shams piece on the jimmy butler saga thx

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 14:38 (seven years ago)

pt 1:

The great NBA soap opera of 2018 was nearing its end, but there was one more plot twist to go before the finale.
After nearly two months of uncertainty, Jimmy Butler had come out of the Timberwolves’ loss on Wednesday night to the Los Angeles Lakers with a new plan. After sitting out two games in a five-game stretch to “rest,” many expected him not to play on Friday night in Sacramento, the last of a five-game road trip. His approach was aimed at reducing his chances of getting injured before being granted the trade he so desperately wanted and also underscoring his message that his desire to be moved was unchanged. The Timberwolves had gone 0 for 4 to that point on their road trip, and Butler’s minutes were through the roof. So he went into the Kings game having reached something of a breaking point.
Butler decided he would play on Friday night, but he viewed it as the fork in the road. If the Timberwolves didn’t find a deal to fulfill his long-simmering trade request after that, he would begin to sit indefinitely, league sources told The Athletic.
The Kings defeated Minnesota 121-110 to push the Timberwolves to 4-9 and a winless road trip; Butler had 13 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in 41 minutes. He had played almost 124 minutes in the last three games, all losses, and at halftime of the final one, the Wolves were informed that this was it for Butler, sources said.
The Wolves were at a breaking point of their own. Tom Thibodeau’s hopes that they would play well at the start of the season and convince Butler to change his mind were dashed and there was growing concern in the organization about the precedent Butler was setting as young cornerstones Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins, among others, watched it unfold.
After the game, Thibodeau told his staff in a meeting that they had to move Butler, league sources said. In fact, the Timberwolves nearly sat Butler in Friday’s game because they had traction on a possible trade, sources said.
Butler played anyway as the wheels for the first blockbuster trade of the NBA season were set in motion.
Everything came together on Saturday morning, with the Wolves shipping Butler to Philadelphia along with rookie Justin Patton for Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Jerryd Bayless and a 2022 second-round pick.
It was the culmination of a long, drama-filled saga that began way back in September. Over the last eight weeks, The Athletic kept track of the twists and turns through conversations with sources throughout the league.
What follows is a diary of the dysfunction, according to those directly and indirectly involved.
Sept. 15: ‘An honest conversation’
Butler is seriously contemplating his future with the Timberwolves, and word spreads that he and Thibodeau will have a meeting to “have an honest conversation” about the All-Star’s future in Minnesota. It’s an ominous sign to require such a dialogue so close to the start of training camp, coming after a summer in which Butler made at least three other efforts to — in May, July and August — to make it clear that he did not see a long-term future in Minnesota.
The signs first came after Game 5 of the Wolves’ first-round playoff exit against the Houston Rockets, when Butler did not fly home with the team and skipped his season-ending medical exam. Butler and his representatives also told the Timberwolves that he did not plan on re-signing with the team in the summer of 2019 in July and again in August.
Knowing how important Butler was both to the Wolves’ success on the court and Thibodeau’s chances of being a successful team president and coach, Thibs did not take steps to explore deals for Butler during the summer. At least one team, unaware that Butler had already tried to steer Wolves leadership toward a trade, reached out to the Wolves in July to gauge Butler’s availability and was quickly shot down.

Sept. 18: The meeting with Thibs
Still optimistic that Butler will be ready to report for camp, Thibodeau hops a flight in the morning telling those at team headquarters that everything was fine. He arrives at Butler’s house in Los Angeles and a tense meeting ensues.
Butler tells Thibodeau, the coach he credits with helping him develop from a late first-round pick who barely played as a rookie into an All-Star, that he wants out.
Thibodeau tells Butler that he can’t trade him, that he needs his star player if the Wolves are going to make a second straight playoff run in 2018-19.
Butler holds his ground, telling Thibodeau that no level of success in the upcoming season will change his mind.
When owner Glen Taylor becomes aware of the impasse, he is surprised. He was unaware that Butler and his representatives had expressed a position that he would not re-sign with Minnesota earlier in the summer.
It’s a crushing blow to Thibodeau’s blueprint for rebuilding the Timberwolves, one centered on the 2017 trade that sent Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and Lauri Markkanen to the Bulls for Butler and Justin Patton. Butler was supposed to be Thibodeau’s extension on the court after the hard-nosed coach delivered underwhelming results with a very young team in his first season on the job. And they had just teamed up to win 47 games and end the franchise’s 13-season playoff drought.
It won’t be until the All-Star has a one-on-one conversation with the owner after his sit-down with Thibodeau that the gravity of the situation finally starts to sink in.
Butler tells Taylor that he never approached the owner to voice his displeasure because of his long-standing relationship and deep trust with Thibodeau led him to believe that the coach would understand where he was coming from and respect his wishes.
While initially disappointed that Butler waited so long to come to him, Taylor understands Butler’s allegiance to Thibodeau and starts to work on finding a trade to accommodate him.
It follows a familiar script in Timberwolves history. Taylor has long been willing to get directly involved and help broker deals or address concerns for disgruntled players who did not feel like their messages were being received by the front office. Al Jefferson, Kevin Love and Corey Brewer are just a few on a list that also includes Mike James, who was represented by Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee.
But there is still plenty of drama to come.
Sept. 21: The trade dialogue begins
Butler’s desire becomes public in the same week that the NBA holds its preseason meeting of the Board of Governors. One of the league’s longest-tenured owners, Taylor has always enjoyed broad support among his peers, having twice served as chairman of the board. But on this day, as the meetings were concluding in New York, he is the most popular man in the room.
One by one, owners and executives from interested teams approach Taylor to gauge his interest in moving Butler. Thibodeau and GM Scott Layden were taking a hard-line stance in the early days of the situation, so owners found Taylor in New York to start real dialogue.
Taylor tells them to approach Thibodeau and Layden and circle back if they can’t get anywhere. By and large, according to three teams who tried to engage, they got nowhere. Layden would answer phone calls and quickly proclaim that Butler was off limits and they were not going to trade him, all in an effort to find some leverage in an impossible situation.
Bewildered, league officials reach back out to Taylor for an explanation.
This is also when the Sixers first start to quietly enter the picture. Several players begin to reach out to Wolves counterparts to get a scouting report on Butler the player and Butler the teammate.
Sept. 22: Mixed messages
After fielding several calls from flummoxed teams saying they can’t get a response from the front office, Taylor speaks directly to Thibodeau and Layden and makes his desires loud and clear: don’t wait for the phone to ring, initiate the calls and bring the available deals to him for consideration.
He makes the decree after personally finishing off a five-year, $190 million extension for Karl-Anthony Towns, clearing the way for them to put their full attention on trading Butler.
As reports of Taylor’s edict come to light, several teams, including the Nets, Heat and Rockets prepare to get in the game. But they continue to meet resistance from Thibodeau and Layden, who maintain that they still see a scenario where Butler can remain with the Timberwolves.
Some owners start to consider subverting Thibodeau and Layden and going right to Taylor with their offers in hopes of fostering better communication and easier negotiating. But Taylor resists, not wanting to make a unilateral move and hoping to establish some consensus for such an important decision.
The group preaches patience, hoping that it will bring more substantive offers to the table.
Sept. 23: Miami enters the fray
It’s a Sunday, and many around the NBA begin to believe that Minnesota is progressing with a team on a trade. That team is Miami, which placed the first of several different frameworks on the table — a package centered around Goran Dragic, Justise Winslow and a draft pick. It proves to be just the start of a long trade process, and no deal forms before the season officially gets underway Monday at media day.
The Wolves are hesitant because they already have Jeff Teague, Derrick Rose and Tyus Jones as point guards and want to find a suitable replacement for Butler on the wing so they can stay competitive in the Western Conference.
Sept. 24: Media day
While some think Thibodeau’s obstinate stance is a negotiating ploy, more and more signs start to show that he is genuine. He meets with Butler on the morning of media day to try to convince a player that was supposed to be as close to him as any he’s ever coached to remain in Minnesota. That meeting causes Butler to be skeptical that Thibodeau is making a concerted effort to grant his wishes.
Thibodeau and Layden hold a joint press conference later that day and address the situation head on. The message: This isn’t the first time a player has requested a trade, and the Timberwolves are not going to be forced to accept pennies on the dollar.
“He’s a top-10 player in the league,” Thibodeau says. “We’re not going to make a bad deal. If it’s a good deal, then we’re interested.”
Sept. 28: The meeting in Mankato
With no movement and the season fast approaching, Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee, makes the 90-mile drive to Mankato to visit Taylor at his home. Butler was initially discussing making the trip as well to personally plea for action, but the frustrated player stays back in the Twin Cities.
Lee and Taylor have a long heart-to-heart about the situation, laying all of the cards on the table. Lee offers to help facilitate a deal, and Philadelphia is one of the teams targeted as a desirable landing spot.
The two part ways believing more than ever that a deal can be completed.
Sept. 29: Butler and Taylor talk
After Butler decided not to drive for the face-to-face with Taylor, the two speak on the phone. Taylor assures Butler that he is trying to get a deal done and asks for patience as the process plays out. A wary Butler takes the owner at his word and continues with his workouts while he remains away from the team.
Oct. 1: A tug of war for leverage
The Wolves are in Los Angeles for the preseason, and Layden reaches out to the Butler camp in an effort to arrange a meeting between Butler and Thibodeau to further discuss the situation. Butler is hesitant, his frustration growing that a deal has not been completed while his camp gets feedback that the asking price is high.
From the Wolves’ side, Thibodeau and Layden continue to present a united front in conversations with other teams. They make it clear to teams that they won’t bow to public pressure and that teams better bring more to the table if they want a player of Butler’s caliber.
Oct. 2: The dinner in L.A.
Butler is getting antsy. The team had its training camp and departed for the West Coast for preseason games against Golden State on Sept. 29 and the Clippers in L.A. on Oct. 3. He stays behind and works out at the team facility early in the trip, then flies out to L.A. for a checkup on his wrist, which had minor surgery in August, and to reconnect with some teammates.
Butler watched the game against the Warriors on television and sent text messages to rookie Josh Okogie offering encouragement. While in L.A., he dines with several teammates, including Taj Gibson and Jeff Teague, the night before the Clippers game. It’s becoming more and more of a possibility, in his eyes and others’, that Butler will start the season in a Timberwolves uniform.
Oct. 4: Time running short
The Wolves return home from L.A., and anticipation starts building for a possible Butler trade. There are only three preseason games remaining, meaning Thibodeau will have precious little time for new players to acclimate to the team before the season begins.
The Wolves board their flight home, but Butler is not with them. He will not be returning to practice this week, as some with the Wolves thought was possible.
Oct. 5: Miami gets close again
The Wolves and Heat close in on a new deal centered upon Butler and promising, young up-and-comer Josh Richardson, exchanging medical exams. The framework of the proposed deal includes a first-round pick and the sides continue to discuss. After initially being reluctant to include Richardson in a deal, Heat president Pat Riley places the 25-year-old, two-way stalwart in talks to try to get a deal done.
In some ways, this emboldens Thibodeau and Layden. They have been criticized for dragging their feet. But in doing so, they have gained a significant concession with the Heat’s inclusion of Richardson.
Oct. 6: The Miami deal collapses, and Thibs gets booed
Butler leaves Los Angeles, flies right past the Twin Cities and heads to New York for the weekend.
The Wolves seem to be continuing to make serious headway with Miami on a potential deal. Richardson’s youth, two-way ability and the cost certainty of his four-year, $42 million contract make him an ideal target for the Wolves.
But the deal falls apart. Who is to blame for the talks collapsing depends on whom you ask. Around the NBA, the belief is that Thibodeau made a last-second ask to up the ante that caused the Heat to pull back. The Wolves quietly push back on that, alleging that the Heat were just as responsible for a deal not getting done.
That night, the team looks flat in their lone home preseason game against Milwaukee. Thibodeau is booed loudly. Less than 10,000 fans show up, an ominous sign for the empty arenas to come during the early portion of the regular season.
Oct. 8: A warning of what’s to come
Butler returns from New York to Minnesota even more frustrated with the lack of progress on a deal. He was planning on Miami, starting to shift his focus that way and put the last three weeks behind him. Now he finds himself back where he did not want to be, and he’s not letting Thibodeau off the hook.
He works out at Target Center and then has a meeting with Thibodeau to lay it all out. He is not changing his mind. He still wants a trade.
He tells his coach that if he has to return to the team, he plans to practice only with the third team and raise hell while doing it.
Thibodeau, meanwhile, isn’t concerned. Butler is a fiery personality, and the team has shown precious little edge in an underwhelming preseason to this point. The team needs a jolt.
Butler is ready to provide just that.
Oct. 9: Frustrations running high
The Wolves begin preparing to have Butler on the roster for opening night, now just eight days away. Deals are dissipating, frustration is running high and Taylor remains clear that his wish is for a deal to be completed eventually.
Several team officials talk to Butler and implore him to remain patient. At various points of the conversations, Butler seems open and accepting of the situation. At others, not so much. He shows up at the team facility in the morning but does not attend practice.
Oct. 10: The Practice
Butler practices, just like he promised he would, berating Thibodeau and Layden, challenging teammates and teaming up with third-teamers in a triumphant return. Jimmy was back.
“Y’all better hurry up,” he barks as he hit the court. “I’m only here for an hour.”
He arrives, he plays, he causes a scene. And then he bounces, strutting off the court and back to his suburban Minneapolis home for a televised interview with ESPN in which he says nothing is fixed and once again challenges Towns and Wiggins to match his level of intensity.

― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 15:29 (seven years ago)

pt 2:

In a call with Taylor that evening, Layden assures the owner that it’s not a concern. Wolves officials are quietly ecstatic with the intensity Butler brings. Some teammates, including Gibson, Teague and Derrick Rose, see no issue. They love the competitiveness.
But as members of the organization watch Butler’s interview, the reservations about keeping him on the roster only grow.
Oct. 11: The players-only meeting
Butler calls for a players-only meeting after Thibodeau cancels practice, informing his teammates that his issues are not with them — but with management for the handling of his contract and other issues. Several players speak up in the meeting, but Butler leads the session and tells the players to worry about the game and shut everything else out.
“I got Thibs,” Butler tells them.
The team leaves for a preseason game in Milwaukee, but Butler remains back in Minneapolis.
Oct. 12: Towns is just ready to play Milwaukee
In a short media availability before the team’s morning shootaround, Thibodeau’s first since Butler’s explosive return to practice two days prior, the coach essentially defends Butler’s actions and insists things are being overblown.
“The important thing is, we have to do what we think is best for our team and we always will do that,” Thibodeau said. “We’re always going to put the team first.”
Towns, who has worked hard to stay above the fray and not get drawn in to the middle of the drama, declines to answer several questions about Butler, conjuring NFL running back Marshawn Lynch by repeatedly offering, “I’m just ready to play Milwaukee tonight.”
It was the first public sign that he was growing tired of the constant questions.
“Are you tired of hearing me say, ‘We’re playing basketball today here in Milwaukee?'” he says, flatly.
Little did he know that they were still nearly a month away from any resolution.
Oct. 13: Butler sees the writing on the wall
Butler becomes resigned to the fact that he’s not going anywhere. The writing is on the wall. No deals appear close and so he starts preparing mentally and physically to play in San Antonio on opening night of the regular season.
Oct. 14: Taylor and Butler reach an understanding
After all of the attention given to the last time Butler practiced with the team, Taylor makes the drive up from Mankato to watch this session and see things for himself. He and his wife Becky are in attendance, and there are no blow-ups this time.
Taylor meets with Butler that day, and the two come to an understanding. Taylor will continue to work hard to find a trade for Butler and Butler will play and be a professional until that deal comes around.
“This isn’t personal. That’s my message to everybody. It’s not personal,” Butler says. “Especially to my guys. We’re the ones who have to run up and down this court every single day. I make sure to remind them every single day that I’m paying attention, I’m watching. I’m helping. I’m studying the film just like you are, ’cause I want to help everyone to be better. I want y’all to win games.
“My name is still attached to this thing. I’m still here. So we’d better win.”
Meanwhile, in Miami, Riley has a meeting with his players and informs them that the franchise is not making a trade for Butler and will start the season as-is, remaining loyal to the current roster.
Oct. 17: The season begins
The Wolves open the season in San Antonio against the Spurs. Against many expectations, there are no outward signs of turmoil. Players are cordial in the locker room and play as a unit on the court.
The Wolves lose, 112-108, but walk out believing that they can weather this storm and play through the distraction.
“I loved the spirit of the team,” Thibodeau says. “I thought there was good fight to us. There are a lot of good things and it also points out a lot of things that we have to work on to improve.”
Butler shows plenty of rust from the lack of training camp work, but he still scores 23 points on 9-for-23 shooting. As the game wears on, his play sharpens. Butler makes clear that as much as he loves to play, his return does not change his mindset, and that his players-only meeting was partly to ensure teammates he would handle any team-related issues of theirs with Thibodeau.
“This isn’t changing me up, hell no,” Butler tells The Athletic in San Antonio. “I do what I do. I’m going to guard to the best of my ability, score, get my rhythm back and help my team win. When I’m out there, nothing else matters. I just want to win.
“Just hoop, I told them, and I think that I can get Thibs to relax a little bit. He’s never going to say anything about offense as long as you go down there and play with effort on the defensive end and get a couple stops. It’s whenever you’re not getting stops when he starts yelling. I think Thibs has calmed down a lot, and guys are playing with effort. It’s never about offense. We’re always going to score enough points. It’s all about getting stops.
“Thibs didn’t exert as much energy as he always does the past few weeks. He needs to do that more: Sit down, take the load off and trust your guys to get a W.”
Oct. 19: A boo-filled home opener
The Wolves play their home opener in front of a cranky crowd. The fans are angry at Thibodeau for how he’s handled this mess. They’re angry at Butler for wanting out. Both are booed lustily during pregame introductions.
Glen and Becky Taylor sit courtside as they always do and hear the heckling from fans and see the nervous looks from sponsors and longtime season-ticket holders.
Thibodeau grins when he hears the boos directed at him. Butler is fueled by them. He scores 33 points on 12 shots in a win over the Cavaliers, getting MVP chants by the end of a bizarre night.
“I knew they was going to switch up on me,” Butler says of the fans. “That’s part of it. I think there’s some more boos to come one of these days.”
Oct. 22: A great game that still shows the tension
The Wolves play one of their best games of the season in a home win over Indiana. Butler and Towns combine for 37 points and 18 rebounds and the Wolves defense makes its first appearance of the season.
But there are still signs of tension coursing through the arena.
After an emphatic swat of Victor Oladipo at the rim leads to a 3-pointer by Jeff Teague and a timeout by the Pacers, Butler storms back to the bench, looks at Taylor and says, “That’s why you pay me!”
Oct. 25: The Rockets step in
As the situation drags on, the Rockets get off to a poor start. They are 1-3, and GM Daryl Morey is trying to get back into the conversation to land Butler to team with James Harden, Chris Paul and Clint Capela.
So Morey offers four first-round picks along with the injured Brandon Knight and Marquese Chriss to try to shake Butler loose from the Wolves, league sources said. The attention-grabbing offer has Butler cautiously hopeful that it might be enough to get Thibodeau and Taylor to budge.
But the Wolves are unimpressed. Thibodeau is in win-now mode and has little use for picks that may not materialize for years. And Taylor isn’t enamored with the idea of a full-on rebuild either. Knight and Chriss bring little immediate value — with Knight out indefinitely and Chriss struggling to find his way in the league — and the proposal is rejected, sources said.
Oct. 26: Butler goes MIA, and the Wolves get blown out
As the Timberwolves prepare for a home game against the revamped Milwaukee Bucks, they show up to Target Center for the morning shootaround and Butler is nowhere to be found.
One day after the Rockets offer is reported, Butler doesn’t show up at all. Internally, eyebrows raise all over the place. The Bucks, one of the teams who kicked the tires on Butler very early in the process, get wind of it as well.
More than an hour later, the Wolves announce that Butler is questionable because of an illness. Butler spent most of the day resting, sources said, and woke up a few hours before the game. He plays in the game, going 2 for 11 with four points in a 30-point loss, the worst of the Thibodeau era.
When asked how he felt during the game, Butler says, “I’m cool. I’m good. If I suit up, I gotta produce. I didn’t do that. I’ll have another one of these. I’m not worried about it.”
Oct. 29: A glimpse of what might have been
Whispers persisted all weekend that Butler could sit out the game against the Lakers on a Monday night, but he shows up to battle LeBron James, and he and Towns offer a glimpse at what might have been in an entertaining victory.
Butler scores 32 points and hits 6 of 7 3-pointers, including all five in the fourth quarter of a jaw-dropping performance. Towns has 25 points, 16 rebounds, six assists and four blocks.
“No one has ever questioned the talent in this locker room, they’ve just questioned our execution,” Towns says. “We have a long way to go before we expect ourselves to be where we need to be.”
Oct. 31: General soreness
Butler takes the game against the Jazz off due to “scheduled rest” for what Thibodeau calls “general soreness,” and a meme is born.
Thibodeau insists that the absence has nothing to do with Butler’s trade request and was a mutual decision. But league sources tell The Athletic that it is related to his situation, his ongoing frustration about the lack of movement and could lead to more absences. Butler has been sore due to missing training camp, and a player who prides himself on his toughness is also taking extra care to make sure he is healthy for whatever team acquires him in an eventual trade.
Entering the game short-handed, Derrick Rose erupts for a career-high 50 points in a stirring win in front of another paltry crowd. The ensuing celebration shows a euphoria that has rarely been seen on this team.
After the game, Taylor enters the jubilant locker room and, with Butler watching, points to Rose and says, “That’s a leader.”
Though Butler has many backers in the Wolves locker room, the implication is lost on no one.
Nov. 4: Butler sits again
Butler sits out for rest for the second time in three games, this one in Portland on the front end of a back-to-back. The Trail Blazers drill the Wolves, winning by 30 points to drop Minnesota to 0-2 on the start of a daunting five-game West Coast trip. The saga goes on, and Butler’s low-key movement to expedite a trade continues.
Lee has been granted permission to speak independently with other teams willing to trade for Butler, and he spends time with the 76ers.
Nov. 6: The final offers come in
After Butler plays 39 minutes in a loss to the Clippers that dropped the Wolves to 0-3 on the trip, the Wolves have conversations with the Heat about a possible trade. But the Heat inform the Wolves that Richardson is no longer on the table after his stellar start to the season, and the Wolves move on.
Minnesota begins to engage seriously with Philadelphia, New Orleans and Houston. New Orleans’ package is headlined by Nikola Mirotic and an unprotected first-round draft pick and the Rockets’ proposal has Eric Gordon, Nene and two first-round picks, sources said. The 76ers come with their proposal around Robert Covington and Dario Saric, leaving the Timberwolves to deliberate.
Nov. 7: A reality impossible to deny any longer
Butler plays 43 minutes in a loss to the Lakers in Los Angeles. The Wolves are now 4-8 and 0-7 on the road in the season, wiping out any dream Thibodeau had of the team playing well and convincing Butler to change his mind.
The 76ers make another offer to the Timberwolves as well, looking to make some changes to their own roster after an underwhelming start.
With the reality harder to deny than ever, the Wolves start to give it serious consideration. There is also internal discussion about shutting Butler down until a deal can be completed.
Taylor, Layden and Thibodeau are in constant communication as the end of the line nears.
Butler grows more and more irritated at the constant line of questioning he hears from the media about the situation.
Nov. 9: The home stretch
On the morning the Wolves are scheduled to finish their road trip in Sacramento, real movement on a trade begins. Philadelphia, New Orleans and Houston continue dialogue with the Timberwolves.
A report emerges from the New York Times early in the day that the two sides had reached an agreement that Butler was to be limited to 32 minutes per game when Butler started to play again in October. Butler had played over that limit routinely and played 82 minutes in the previous two games. Thibodeau has a reputation for ignoring those kinds of edicts.
Sure enough, Butler plays 41 minutes in a loss to the Kings. And he makes it clear to Sam Amick after the game that something has to give.
“We’ve got fucking 14 other guys,” he says.
After the game, Thibodeau finally relents. He understands that the situation is untenable, and with five straight home games coming up in front of a fan base that is abandoning the team, they have to move him. Layden is spotted at the hotel bar, perhaps laying the final groundwork.
Nov. 10: The trade gets done
With a deal nearing the finish line, Layden and 76ers general manager Elton Brand work to finalize an agreement, and Taylor and Sixers owner Josh Harris place their final touches on it. Saric, Covington, Bayless and a 2022 second-round pick are on their way to Minnesota for Butler and Patton. A trade call with the NBA is set for Nov. 12. All told, it’s a solid return, especially considering the Wolves’ lack of bargaining position.
Word spreads before the players are able to be formally notified. The Wolves are sitting on the team plane ready to head home from Sacramento when it becomes public via The Athletic.
“Knowing him as long as I’ve known him, I think he was little taken back by it, a little bit shocked,” says Gibson, who was sitting next to Butler on the plane as he processed the news. “No matter what, even if you want to ask for a trade, if you want to get traded, when you finally get traded, it’s kind of like a weird feeling. Like, wow, it’s really happening. That’s the moment I felt for him.”
Nov. 11: Time to move on
The Wolves hold their first practice since Butler was traded. Their reinforcements have not yet arrived, and they insist that Butler was not a distraction for them. But now that it is all over, they are looking forward to moving on.
“I just think it was this stuff going back and forth. I thought the locker room was great. But just with management and things like that, it’s always tough,” Gibson says. “When we’re trying to win games and we’re not winning games, when you lose, in the locker room it’s kinda like a black cloud. Everybody is down on themselves a little bit. But like I said. New day, new guys coming in. just have to push forward.”

As Durant walked around the construction site, he said he couldn't help but think about what his future may look like if he decides to stay with the Warriors after this season.
"My imagination is going wild right now with possibilities," he said at one point. : |
Several Warriors players have toured the construction site in the past few months, but Durant was the first player to walk on the ground where the playing floor will be laid next year. Construction workers on-site screamed his name around the building as he made his way around the area.
"I'm thinking about a lot of points being scored," Durant said as he walked around. "The fans are going to love it." : |
When a reporter asked Durant if he would commit to staying with the Warriors as he considered where his new home would be, Durant smiled and brushed the question aside.
"What are we doing?" Durant said, while Warriors staffers tried to move the tour along. "What are we doing?"

Sources: In midst of verbal exchange on court late in Monday's game, Draymond Green challenged Kevin Durant about Durant's impending free agency. As teammates came at Green about his turnover, he responded. This has been a simmering issue for the Warriors today.

The NBA has quietly removed access to previous season's games via League Pass and is now charging for individual games despite advertising them being available at the start of the season.

What gigantic dildo made this terrible decision? $8 a game for last season's games?

i'm vv surprised by that, i feel like guys say things like that all the time in those huddles when things get heated and once its hashed out they move on. it does seem a bit like a move strictly to appease KD.

btw that was a super hilariously bad play by dray dribbling right into a triple team as time expires

they should waive draymond based on that play, it’s absolute malpractice

― Clay, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 23:55 (seven years ago)

the effort he made for a rebound his teammate was positioned to get was Westbrookian.

― omar little, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 23:57 (seven years ago)

since im being forced to baselessly speculate here it seems obvious that dray and kd hate each other and management is planning on trading dray in order to get kd to resign

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 23:58 (seven years ago)

haha

which makes perfect sense since the dubs are stuck in contract hell if kd leaves

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 00:00 (seven years ago)

in all seriousness tho they only suspend him if either dray said something truly awful to kd or this has been building for a while

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 00:01 (seven years ago)

maybe he let kerr or someone in management have it too

― Spottie, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 00:04 (seven years ago)

both i bet, KD has probably been dealing w/low level Dray shit for a long time and seething to others and but there hasn't been an incident to hang a suspension on until now.

― omar little, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 00:05 (seven years ago)

yeah wldnt be surprised if hes just been generally more annoying than usual

the suspension seems like a really bad move. sit him for a game but to take away 120k is putting your line in the sand.

― Spottie, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 00:07 (seven years ago)

a lesser player would be gone a long time ago, keeping in mind the only reason the Warriors aren't aiming for a 5-peat is because of a Dray kick (and maybe some ill-timed Klay trash talk that activated LeBron supergod mode.)

― omar little, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 00:07 (seven years ago)

agree that it seems from the outside like a huge overreaction especially towards someone who its likely to just exacerbate the situation with, they must just be worried that theyre losing kd over this shit, either that or theyre just really annoyed at dray and lost their tempers

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 00:09 (seven years ago)

there was a fair amount of predraft commentary suggesting that his passing was way ahead of his shooting. he's been getting to the rim a little more than i thought he would for a guy who doesn't seem hugely athletic which has helped his game. i still can't figure out where his ceiling is but he's at least interesting.

feel like the media is failing to connect the dots re drays decline, not that theres conclusive proof that hes permanently declining but its gotta be on managements mind, theyre reporting it as beef between franchise cornerstones but likely management is looking at it more as beef between a superstar and someone who might not play at a consistent allstar level again, which is prob one of the reasons why they came down on him so much harder than they have for past hijinks

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:16 (seven years ago)

― omar little, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:20 (seven years ago)

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:26 (seven years ago)

seems like Dray kind of cut in there when KD was positioned for a rebound! i guess possibly it wasn't intentional (keeping in mind this is a man who was scolding for nut kicking and decided it would be a good idea after that to swing his arm into LeBron's nuts and lose a title) and the problem is Dray thought he could be the hero when he hasn't shown he's capable recently.

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:34 (seven years ago)

i don't think Dray was going to shoot, but i wonder where he was going with that ball. anyway just a perfect storm of in-game frustration and simmering locker room issues. as a Bulls fan this is really all i have to hang my hat on.

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:41 (seven years ago)

exceptionally bad decision on a number of levels, didnt really improve the team any even

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:41 (seven years ago)

KD to the Warriors is a bit like A-Rod to the Yankees, a once-in-a-generation talent whose motives are questioned even from within his new team and the level of respect he engenders is not commensurate with his talent level. Of course to be completely fair the Warriors have done nothing but win titles since he arrived unlike A-Rod's Yanks!

― omar little, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:45 (seven years ago)

dray is a bully and kd is a weenie, naturally dray wants to bully kd, the problem is kd has higher basketball status than dray which is of course going to drive drays sense of justice crazy

I think this nails it succinctly

― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:45 (seven years ago)

it's easy & fun to think about this as the warriors picking a side but you really can't go around calling your own teammate the b word in front of the world and bringing up free agency during a heated moment in a game and stuff. given draymond's history a 1 game cool down seems pretty agreeable. i feel like to whatever extent KD's decision would be driven by draymond's personality, KD's probably already more or less figured out where he stands on that.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:49 (seven years ago)

a cool down woulda been fine or a small fine like what happened with Kerr/Dray blowup but the public suspension was a deeper statement

― Spottie, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:50 (seven years ago)

yeah

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:52 (seven years ago)

seems like everyone agrees that kd is out the door and this was a hail mary by management to get him to stay (or the setup for a hail mary, trading dray?) which makes sense as theyre totally fucked if he leaves dynasty over so on and so forth

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:53 (seven years ago)

my friend who lives in the bay told me recently that one of his good friends is a waiter at a place frequented by dubs players, and that once KD and dray were both there at the same time and sat at opposite ends of the restaurant and didn't so much as say hi to each other.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:55 (seven years ago)

losing them both is obv the worst case and now thats possible

― Spottie, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:55 (seven years ago)

I really do wonder what happened behind closed doors and if dray escalated things even more than what we saw on the bench, that could definitely help explain things a little

what spottie said also seems true, it’s unlikely dray was looking to shoot that, more likely he was hoping KD would run with him so he could potentially find him for the shot, the converse where KD gets double teamed and maybe has to pass to dray for the shot is def less appetizing

― k3vin k., Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:55 (seven years ago)

maybe im being too sanguine about this but i feel like this is prob an exceptionally public manifestation of a dynamic that the warriors have mostly accepted bcuz they win titles, and if KD leaves (which he prob will) it will be bcuz he's bored and not bcuz draymond is an asshole

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 November 2018 17:59 (seven years ago)

i think that's otm

― Spottie, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:00 (seven years ago)

yeah sounds about right

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:00 (seven years ago)

i still think he is not sure what he wants or is gonna do, so this type of thing may nudge him a way.

― Spottie, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:01 (seven years ago)

draymond is still amazing imo even tho his shot has cratered... he always shows up in the playoffs which is really all that matters for this team. that said the warriors have him off their books when he's 30 and i'd be pretty concerned about his next contract unless he was willing to forego the max, which doesn't seem likely.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:02 (seven years ago)

tho id say its because kds bored and everyone in the world gave him shit for being a bandwagon rider xp

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:04 (seven years ago)

the dynamic of on some nights being the third guy on a superteam (on those nights when Klay is going off) might be a little tough for him, KD doesn't have the same personality as other players at his level in terms of taking charge and he is a latecomer to the team where it would be the most difficult for him to assert himself (aside from the Lakers.)

yeah it's interesting. i mean, if his goal was to experience the personal satisfaction of winning an nba championship then he's gotten that. but if he was out for public validation from the basketball watching public or to burnish his "legacy" that was never going to happen.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:07 (seven years ago)

he needs to go to the knicks average 37-11 and lose in the second round, its the only thing that will soothe his troubled soul

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:09 (seven years ago)

KD with the Warriors also reminds of me LeBron's Heat era, except LeBron was the clear-cut leader and he seemingly relished those years. The similarity is in the lack of validation, once LeBron won a title in Cleveland he seemed to finally achieve it.

― omar little, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:12 (seven years ago)

i bet KD looked at bron and was like "yeah ppl will give me shit for going to the warriors but once i leave w/ all these titles i'll be loved again" but it doesn't feel like that will be the case

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:12 (seven years ago)

goon you're really low on dray. he is still in his prime its not like hes in a ben wallace to chicago type of timeframe quite yet. agree with jordan about major concerns when the contract is up but dude is still a crazy good player and should be for a couple more seasons. his shot fell off once luke's tenure as head coach came to an end, his great shooting was a blip.

― Spottie, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:13 (seven years ago)

i feel like bron had kinda won ppl over even before the cleveland title... he's just broadly likable in a way KD isn't

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:13 (seven years ago)

kd should go to like any of the 25 teams that don't have a better player than him i dont care

― ciderpress, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:14 (seven years ago)

w bron it was like he 'learned his lesson' when they lost the first title and people were excited to cheer against him after that no one cared any more

― Spottie, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:15 (seven years ago)

yeah i mean im not sure about how good dray still is i just think theres a serious possibility for an early decline there, but he cld also be a real contributor for years to come, i do think his days as an absolute night in night out force of nature on D are prob over xp

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:15 (seven years ago)

also his decline from bad shooter to guy who passes up the most open looks hinders his ability to make plays

― Spottie, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:22 (seven years ago)

if anything his shot looks worse than it ever has its just totally uncoordinated, i wonder if its one of those bad shot doctoring situations that lead guys to overthink things

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:23 (seven years ago)

dray's unnaturally good at defending at the 3 point line and holding up in the post, i feel like he still has ~4 more years left of being better than most nba players at the combination of those two things

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 November 2018 18:24 (seven years ago)

it's not entirely fair to KD bcuz the warriors looked broken and rather pathetic in the finals before he joined them, and in the 2017 finals i don't think they beat the cavs without him. but this is what he gets for even trying to play this game in the first place.

Dantoni must be ecstatic

Mike D’Antoni on Melo: “It wasn’t fair for him as a Hall of Fame player to play in a role that wasn’t good for him. It wasn’t a fit.” Praises Melo for his professionalism.

― Spottie, Thursday, 15 November 2018 23:27 (seven years ago)

these is what lagoons been trying to explain about kats awkwardness

The biggest issue Karl-Anthony Towns has on defense is his legs. Lack of strength, particularly around the knee. Energy leakage all over the place and you can catch dramatic evidence of this on offense too. He just get functional movement training to alleviate ASAP pic.twitter.com/9RD6vQlnt2

KD, when asked about the Draymond situation: “Don’t ask me about that again.”
— Nick Friedell (@NickFriedell) November 16, 2018

― lag∞n, Friday, 16 November 2018 04:00 (seven years ago)

My gf's had a long-standing theory that KD (Kevin Durant) is in the closet and had to get out of OKC (Oklahoma City) and away from Russ (RWB) to somewhere more progressive with less toxic bro vibes in the locker room. Even tho Dray (Draymond) is all testosterone he's the one who reached out to KD so it made him feel like they'd be cool. She thinks the locker room stuff that crossed the line the other night was Draymond saying some homophobic shit and that's why it's so messy.

my suspicion that Dray said “leave, bitch” to Durant was pretty close.

Green called Durant a “bitch” multiple times, sources said. In a summarized version, sources said Green shouted, “You’re a bitch and you know you’re a bitch.” The rhetoric, sources said, continued even when Kerr attempted to direct the team’s attention to his whiteboard.
But what ultimately led to Green’s suspension, sources said, was a remark in which he dared Durant to bolt in free agency next summer. Durant has a player option for the 2019-20 season, and the Warriors want their superteam intact for the opening of their new arena, the Chase Center, in San Francisco next season.
Green blurted to Durant something along the lines of, “We don’t need you. We won without you. Leave,” sources said.

Interesting breakfast!
Went to this old fashioned diner place where you sit at the counter, starting talking hoops with the guy next to me, turns out that he is Mike Muscala's uncle (Muscala played high school in the Twin Cities)....

Anyway he starts talking about the Butler thing and I guess it's been super stressful for Muscala because the guy says his brother (Muscala's dad) is a nutcase chud and was tweeting a bunch of not very veiled racist stuff about Jimmy Butler before the trade went down

Muscala got called into the front office and they had to have a big sit down with his dad then call his dad to delete the tweets and discuss how he needs to behave.... meanwhile Muscala had to talk to Jimmy about it personally and apologize so it's been hashtag awkward

― lag∞n, Monday, 19 November 2018 16:41 (seven years ago)

why would wall deny a trade tho? i imagine he wants out just as much as the inverse. he's already signed the mega max, just go put up 20-11 on the magic or whatever

― Spottie, Monday, 19 November 2018 16:50 (seven years ago)

yeah seems like theres a good chance hed be willing to waive it

which based on some googling seems like is always an option with trade kickers

btw i also found out that the team trading the player is the one that pays the kicker

― lag∞n, Monday, 19 November 2018 17:02 (seven years ago)

better to pay 15% kicker than 200 million or w/e tf he is owed starting next year. I wonder if they are really ready to firesale the whole thing? how about swapping blake griffin and reggie jax for john wall and beal/otto? more of a shake up than a break down and rebuild

― Spottie, Monday, 19 November 2018 18:20 (seven years ago)

ooooh that's...something i guess. not sure why detroit would do it since they could compete for low playoff seeds with what they have now and would just be swapping one bad deal for another.

The scorn bothers him less than it would probably bother most people, in part because he should probably be dead. A rare autoimmune disorder caused him to lose half of his blood in June 2008. As fluid began filling his lungs, doctors placed Windhorst into a medically induced coma.
“I remember falling asleep, and I woke up 22 days later,” he said.
Worries that his brain was permanently injured dissipated after a friend told him in the hospital that Elton Brand had signed an $82 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.
“I was like, ‘I don’t think they have the cap space to sign that deal,’ ” Windhorst said. “When he knew I was talking about the 76ers’ cap position, they were pretty sure I was going to be O.K.”

I heard yesterday that Wall's trade kicker means Washington would pay $22 million if they trade him this year (I think that's the difference between his current salary and the max, because 15% of his entire contract is more than that amount). Max extensions do weird things with contracts - next summer once his extension is in it would cost them nothing because you can't make over the max, trade kicker or no.

― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 21 November 2018 20:59 (seven years ago)

this is flagrant horseshit

In addition to a previously diagnosed right shoulder injury that continues to impact him, Fultz has been playing with an apparent injury in his right wrist area that has adversely affected his ability to shoot, league sources told The Athletic. The issue has led to periodic difficulties holding on to the ball during his shot. Specialists have been working with Fultz to figure out how they can strengthen the wrist area to remedy the injury.
Sources with knowledge of Fultz’s thinking have also told The Athletic that the player would prefer a fresh start with a new team.
The wrist and shoulder injuries’ impact varies; some days they badly hinder him, other days they do not, causing an erratic pattern in which his shot appears to be working one game and is off the next. As he tries to work through and compensate for the injury, it has at times resulted in a case of the ‘yips,’ especially when shooting free throws.

Aldridge cooked?

― Spottie, Thursday, 22 November 2018 04:20 (seven years ago)

Aldridge probably needs more shooting talent around him. He was never elite at creating shots, except for a couple of favorite mid-range post-up spots. He'll pass out of double teams when teams collapse on his post position and his teammates have to convert reliably.

― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 22 November 2018 04:31 (seven years ago)

looking that way, yeah. his shooting is just AWFUL so far this year. he makes a impact as a rebounder and a post defender, but....ugh, IDK. they're calling it a "slump." he's getting good looks sometimes, but defenses are quick to throw a double team at him and he's struggling to find open guys.

demar is not the problem. he's been o defensively and great on offense. had a go-ahead bucket with 1.2 secs left. spurs got called for a ticky tack foul on marc gasol's final shot, he got FTs. then he fouls LMA's last second shot, no call. terrible loss.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Thursday, 22 November 2018 04:33 (seven years ago)

Liz was watching the Celtics presser. Brad was acting like he’s already dead. He might be. NBC Sports people were very close to flats saying “it’s time for a coaching change.” It’s also possible Brad is good and the Celtics just suck.

― Allen (etaeoe), Thursday, 22 November 2018 04:36 (seven years ago)

― Allen (etaeoe), Thursday, 22 November 2018 04:38 (seven years ago)

he's struggling to find open guys

seems like that's the weak point that needs fixing

― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 22 November 2018 05:00 (seven years ago)

yeah. when his back is to the basket, the double will often come over his opposite shoulder so he doesnt see them until its loo late. now he cant find the open guy because his passing lane is obstructed, o he either tries to rush a shot before the double fully arrives or force a contested pass to someone which might mean turnover. the worst part is he's missing his bread and butter shots, too and he's totally in in his own head.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Thursday, 22 November 2018 05:11 (seven years ago)

idk if last year was just an aberration, basically had a career year, but the offense ran through him nearly every play.

Warriors about to lose 4th straight. First time since Kerr took over. Kd looks like he’s going about 85%. Klay and he still can’t make threes. A bunch of midrange shots nothing at the rim and getting killed from the arch every game. Bad.

Grizzlies are in first place wtf.

My beloved hometown team and franchise qb are tearing up the league this year and I won't watch a game. The ball is neither round nor orange and so it makes the players' brains disintegrate.

xxxxp - Bell is good for highlights but will bite on any and every pump fake and is too busy going for blocks to ever be in position to pull down a defensive rebound. I still think he should be getting more minutes though.

― Spottie, Saturday, 24 November 2018 04:19 (seven years ago)

as i understand it 3pt percentage has plateaued while attempt rate has gone up. so basically guys have gotten better at easy 3s which has caused them to take harder 3s which has kept things flat.

And really, is eliminating standing in the 5 feet at the very corner going to change much? That player will be in line with the restricted arc instead of in line with the rim.

i dunno about all those buzzwords but doncic is very good as advertised

― ciderpress, Saturday, 24 November 2018 16:14 (seven years ago)

hes really good but he cant get to the rim which is decidedly not a ~superstar archetype~

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 16:36 (seven years ago)

he's already like the same player as pre-injury gordon hayward at 5 years younger

― ciderpress, Saturday, 24 November 2018 16:47 (seven years ago)

i guess he's prob worse on defense though so maybe not

― ciderpress, Saturday, 24 November 2018 16:48 (seven years ago)

i know gordon could make some plays as a ballhandler but luka already seems like he's in a different league with that.

― call all destroyer, Saturday, 24 November 2018 16:51 (seven years ago)

yeah hes got insanely slow feet i dont think theres much hope for him as an nba defender, if youre talking about mvp level play the only path that really makes sense to me is for him to become s steph level shooter who can do all sorts of crazy moves on the perimeter to create looks, which is tbf is prob an actual possibility

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 16:57 (seven years ago)

in conclusion hes insanely good at basketball but will prob be held back some by very bad athleticism, tho i am curious to see how he looks once he gets into better shape, cld make a big difference

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 16:58 (seven years ago)

paul pierce was very unathletic by nba standards, too. not just below average, but near the bottom of those playing his position. the only way to find out doncic's limits are for him to play a lot more than just 20 games.

― A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 24 November 2018 17:08 (seven years ago)

pierce had perfectly fine athleticism was "some country strong" and dunked on fools from his first game in the league

.008% of doncics made baskets so far have been dunks

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 17:15 (seven years ago)

i wish i cld find this stat but just based on watching almost all of his —complete game highlight— youtubes i feel confident in saying that doncic has fewer than ten made layups/dunks in the halfcourt this season, wldnt be surprised if its fewer than 5 tbh

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 17:17 (seven years ago)

i mean maybe he can get by with a killer floater game a la cp3 (and to a lesser extent steve nash) but dunking is better

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 17:18 (seven years ago)

seems just about as likely to me that in three years ilhers will be saying "remember when we worried that doncic not dunking was going to be a big limitation on his ceiling? that seems so long ago now"

Going for my yellow card here (might as well earn it this time).

I hate that the league has become a min-maxing experience, a math equation over all else. We joked last year about the Celtics trying to roll out a 6’8” lineup where everyone is completely interchangeable. It’s a fun idea in the abstract but a sad inevitability of the current direction of the league.

What I miss is players having defined roles with some overlap with those around them. A shooting guard who has some point and small forward skills, a small forward with some shooting guard and power forward skills, etc. Because of the min-maxing, it’s a point guard, three interchangeable wings and some type of big, who may just be a large slow wing as far as skill set is concerned.

There are of course exceptions (as well as teams slow to adapt to the inevitable), but those get called out for being an exercise in futility. “You can’t have two non-shooters, even if they’re Embiid and Simmons.”

There used to be more variety in how teams were built. More specialists and less generalists. More about maximizing an individual’s skillset and less maximizing one skill for all.

It’s s matter of taste. The current NBA may be exciting for most people but it’s less enjoyable for what I have always liked about basketball.

― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:16 (seven years ago)

there are so many good players now and everyone is so skilled which i like but yeah the league does seem to be converging on some generic logical style of play consensus which unfortunately results in a lot of just running back and forth and chucking and when those —efficient— 3s dont dont go down it can be pretty tedious, i think overall this is one of the best eras of the nba ever and compared to the late 90s early 00s riley bully ball its pure joy and light but there are def some concerning trends

lots of ball movement is good too, one emerging trend that kinda interesting is starters playing fewer and fewer minutes all the time, one reason for this is that teams discovered that it keeps players fresh for the offs, but also the game is just more demanding now, theres so much more movement on both sides of the ball and defensive loafing is nearly untenable, that averaging 40mins a night just doesnt work anymore, so its become more of a team sport a little more soccerish than before

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:24 (seven years ago)

i guess just... move the 3pt line back idk

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:25 (seven years ago)

cp3 is an interesting comp for doncic in that if he was the undisputed best player on your team i think you might be topping out in the second round or so every year, but if he got matched alongside another top 10 level player i think you could really have something.

― J0rdan S., Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:32 (seven years ago)

yeah was thinking doncics ideal role is prob paired with a more traditional athletically monstrous superstar

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:34 (seven years ago)

That article says what I was feeling better than I could express it.

Watching teams run the weave like I did in fourth grade doesn’t seem like a good thing for the sport.

Move the line. Call moving screens if you’re gonna call grabbing and holding. Make the Val alive on the rim. Try to make all skills matter to some extent

― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:34 (seven years ago)

The Val? The ball

― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:36 (seven years ago)

i think he will absolutely singlehandedly win games based off his intellect and skill alone... he'll have a lot of 35-15 games i think. i just think he tops out more as like a top 8-12 level player as opposed to top 5 or above. hard to complain about that tho.

― J0rdan S., Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:36 (seven years ago)

wonder abt prepared teams being able to bump him off his preferred shots when its comes playoff time, a common tho not ubiquitous issue with difficult shot makers

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:39 (seven years ago)

He’ll get stronger and with his size it’ll be hard to muscle him off his spots

― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:41 (seven years ago)

modern defenses are designed to give up midrange shots which is what can make cp3 so deadly when he's coming off screens and hitting those little midrange jumpers like he's playing pop a shot. it wouldn't surprise me if doncic was the next elite guard at that kind of thing tho maybe more w/ floaters and push shots and weird kinda stuff as opposed to pure jumpers

― J0rdan S., Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:43 (seven years ago)

he does have a nice large frame, will be interesting to see what he can do when hes in better shape/if he can get really strong and figure out how to use that strength, his game is def more finesse now but if he can start to move defenders out of the way he might be able to get to the basket a lil more

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:45 (seven years ago)

The hawks have gone from terrible but fun to watch to overall terrible.

― Heez, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:46 (seven years ago)

but like he also didnt really get to the hole in europe where guys are much slower/less athletic so idk, he might just not have the knack, which is weird since he seems to have the rest of the knacks, but his feet are kinda comically slow so

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:47 (seven years ago)

hawks have some interesting young players but its unclear whether any of them will top out as more than solid starters, they are fun tho

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:48 (seven years ago)

they might be a lil more competitive once collins gets back in the groove

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 18:49 (seven years ago)

doncic is bigger than those guys but his athleticism makes him play smaller

― J0rdan S., Saturday, 24 November 2018 19:06 (seven years ago)

idk about "traditionally" or what that really means, seems like you could cherrypick cases and just lump them together however you want. I mean for one thing chris paul is so much better than steve nash was it's really not close, but even then nash's suns might make the finals in 2007 if it weren't for that amare suspension, chris paul for instance has legitimately some of the best playoff numbers of all time and has had absurdly bad injury luck both with himself and teammates, also notably has played in the western conference his whole freaking career, like if he played in the east I wonder how this whole narrative goes

I mean take a player who is maybe even more like nash - steph curry - and it hasn't exactly stopped him from dominating the league and winning a ring even before KD arrived

in conclusion I reject the premise and humbly request that chris paul slander cease

― k3vin k., Saturday, 24 November 2018 20:22 (seven years ago)

yeah steph is the exception but if the exception to guard led teams winning titles is being the best shooter of all time then that's a pretty high bar to clear

― J0rdan S., Saturday, 24 November 2018 20:34 (seven years ago)

idk I mean what does it really mean to "lead" a team in 2019 when all serious contenders are composed of at least 2 superstars, paul or westbrook or nash etc would all definitely benefit from having another stud next to them but then again who wouldn't?

also I assume you mean point guard because I can think of a couple of notable guards who have led teams to titles in the past 25 years or so

― k3vin k., Saturday, 24 November 2018 20:44 (seven years ago)

nash was a better offensive player than cp3

― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 November 2018 23:09 (seven years ago)

maybe, but not by that much imo and his peak was so much shorter, and paul is one of the best defensive point guards of his generation

― k3vin k., Saturday, 24 November 2018 23:17 (seven years ago)

yeah its a tough call imo like paul was a super solid all around player for so long, but nash was really a transcendent offensive player while also being awful on D and injury prone a late bloomer etc, but he was on like 6 of the top 10 offensive trams of alltime

In 11 games since that night, Rose has averaged 22.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists while shooting 55.4 percent from the field and 56.3 percent from 3.

agree joker for jokic is really bad, similarly dragon for dragic is bad.

we're not talking about the best nicknames though

joker and dragon are technically "bad" but practically good

the weird thing is almost all players have better non-awkward sounding players-only or personal-life nicknames that are normal and cool like "juice" or "milk" that the media is too lazy and lame to find out about and use

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 21:18 (seven years ago)

the names the media likes are all some nerd shit like the round mound of rebound

then the names the internet likes are RWB because typing is hard

i dont think rwb is a nickname tho, just shorthand

― Spottie, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 21:21 (seven years ago)

theres some sort of overlap like it all dates back to kmart, which was actually a hilarious nickname but also shorthand

i dunno how you fix it really, 3pt shots are not 50% harder than 2pt shots is a fundamental design flaw. moving the line back or getting rid of the corners just creates a lot of dead space

iirc Giannis was averaging like 30ppg at this point last season and was also playing almost 40min/g and burned out in Feb; good sign he's playing a more reasonable 33min/g so far this year. Going 6-51 on 3s leaves a lot of room for regression to the mean :0

Tommy compared Kyrie to Chet Forte the other night

Forte's life in the sports world began as an All-State basketball star at Hackensack High School in Hackensack, New Jersey. He was named to the Star-Ledger's Team of the Century in 1999. From there he starred at Columbia University. In the 1956–57 season, he was named first-team All-American as a point guard, and beat out the legendary Wilt Chamberlain for player of the year.[1] He was short for a basketball player, but shot with deadly accuracy from the outside—the approximate location of today's three-point circle.
Forte was drafted in the 7th round of the 1957 NBA draft by the Cincinnati Royals, but did not make the team, and never played in the NBA.[2]

― Allen (etaeoe), Sunday, 2 December 2018 14:47 (seven years ago)

speaking of the Bulls is there any historical analogue to this Derrick Rose thing, where a player goes from MVP-caliber to an actively terrible bench player, then somehow becomes good again several years later? in the NFL Kurt Warner is the probably the most obvious example. can't really think of one in baseball

Agent Raymond Brothers: “Markelle (Fultz) has been diagnosed with Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, (TOS), a physical injury.
TOS affects nerves between the neck and shoulder resulting in abnormal functional movement and range of motion, thus severely limiting Markelle’s ability to shoot a basketball. TOS is treatable by physical therapy.”

Booker has been hurt all season more or less. But that’s becoming the norm w him, always banged up.

― Spottie, Wednesday, 5 December 2018 03:26 (seven years ago)

Maybe as the situation changes Ayton will have a different mentality but as it is his effort level is pathetic.

― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 5 December 2018 17:06 (seven years ago)

yeah for now he seems content to just put up his double doubles and chill. not even averaging at least 1 block per game says it all

― Spottie, Wednesday, 5 December 2018 17:13 (seven years ago)

he was like that at arizona too tho

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 5 December 2018 17:19 (seven years ago)

One of the reasons opposing players finish so easily over and around Ayton is that he doesn’t block many shots. It’s not a surprise, given the LaVine clips above, that he’s blocked just 2.2 percent of opposing 2-point shots. That ranks 36th out of 43 qualifying centers this season and, more broadly, just 87th out of 119 qualifying rookie centers since 1974-75, when the statistic was first recorded. Carter (at 5.3 percent) ranks 21st out of the 119, and fellow rookie Mo Bamba (6.6 percent) ranks eighth. Jackson doesn’t qualify as a center in Basketball-Reference, but he would place in the top five with a 7.9 percent block rate. And pay attention to the Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson, whose 9.6 percent rate would rank second all time, behind only 7-foot-7 Manute Bol’s, if he maintained it for the full season.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 5 December 2018 17:22 (seven years ago)

from the same article

Ayton’s various failings coalesce into one broader illustrative statistic: When he defends an attempt within 6 feet of the hoop, opponents are shooting 65.5 percent, the highest for any player who’s faced at least 100 such shots. (Second and third from the bottom, respectively, are Nemanja Bjelica and Enes Kanter, who don’t quite serve as role models for aspiring rim protectors.) Carter and Jaren Jackson Jr. rank fourth and seventh, respectively, with allowed field goal percentages hovering around 50 percent.

interesting data from pelton: http://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/25470842/nba-mvp-race-answering-big-questions-giannis-lebron-kd-curry

Can a center be most valuable?
The leaderboards in most advanced stats at this early stage have a decidedly tall slant. Basketball-Reference.com's value over replacement player (VORP), for example, rates six centers and four other players listed as power forwards (one of them is Kevin Durant, who has actually played more minutes at small forward) among the league's top 14 players. Meanwhile, the PER leaderboard -- once we've filtered out low-minutes players -- is even more heavily tilted toward the frontcourt, with 19 centers in the top 30, including reserves Montrezl Harrell, Nerlens Noel, Jakob Poeltl, Dwight Powell, Domantas Sabonis and Jonas Valanciunas.
These results reflect a topic I addressed ahead of the NBA draft: Because the floor is so well spaced, it's never been easier to get productive play from centers. Indeed, consider the average PER by position (as defined by Basketball-Reference) weighted by minutes played:
Avg. PER (Weighted For Minutes)
POS PER
PG 14.7
SG 13.1
SF 13.0
PF 14.9
C 19.6
Across all positions, the average PER is always set to 15.0. However, that varies widely across positions now, with centers naturally dominant and wings much weaker. It's not just the very best centers who are most productive, but also the ones who are cheaply available to teams -- including Noel and JaVale McGee, both of whom are in the top 30 in PER after signing one-year deals for the veteran's minimum as free agents this summer.
When we're determining value, then, position has to be taken into account. To be as relatively valuable on a per-minute basis as a small forward with a 25.6 PER (like Kawhi Leonard), a center would need a PER of 32.2 -- something that's never been achieved in NBA history.
In other words, it's probably not possible for the best center in 2018-19 to be more valuable than the best wing player, which has important implications for the MVP chances of not only Joel Embiid (who's not actually among those high-rated centers, ranking 17th in PER and 26th in VORP) but also Anthony Davis (mostly -- though perhaps not exclusively -- a center).

Pacers were going to be the team that the Magic were bidding against, but don’t think Pacers made a serious offer. IIRC, Pacers could’ve offered an amount that would’ve capped out the Magic, maybe?

Would’ve gummed up Pacers’ future signings, m/l would’ve been the extra star for Oladipo to grow with. That Gordon contract looks so good right now. Not really sure how Gordon would work on a team with Sabonis and Turner, but feel like that’s a good problem to have / Gordon’s contract looks like an asset in the very least.

― ヽ（´ー｀）┌ (CompuPost), Saturday, 8 December 2018 02:11 (seven years ago)

Sooner they cut ties with Leaf the better – dying to get more floor time for Holiday, Sumner and Ike. Also feel bad that there’s such a pileup for bigs already and OQuinn never gets playing time, and he’s a nice roster dude!

Really like this team; great sign that they went something like 0-7 w/o Oladipo last year and are maybe 6-4 (with a road trip) so far this year.

I was taking a walk in the Skyway at lunch, I usually head over the Target Center to look in the pro shop

Was walking along in the Skyway and the Wolves mascot Crunch was walking towards me...I didn't really know what to do, I wanted to ask for a pic but I chickened out so I just said, "Hey Crunch what's up?" as I walked by and he tilted his head and pointed at me

We will gift you a surprise #1 selection (wasn't the odds of Bulls getting it like 2%) which you will use to draft a hometown wunderkind. He will become youngest MVP ever. BUT then a superteam will rip your heart out on your homefloor in conf finals, followed by your beloved wunderkind spontaneously combusting.

they shd maybe just play him at center? a lot of his halfcourt looks are just post ups he dribbles into anyway he might benefit from playing off the ball more getting looks in favorable circumstances diving to the rim and so forth, then let him be a freeform ball handler in transition, only problem is bucks roster is kinda bereft of other creators

― lag∞n, Thursday, 13 December 2018 04:00 (seven years ago)

His destiny is to be a KD who can overpower PFs if he needs to – he's got KD limbs and Kawhi hands, he should be fine. He really doesn't need to spend any time doing anything but figuring out his form and just getting it right. Kinda wonder if this 11% is maybe due to Bud-era's first try at streamlining his shot and he's just struggling. Would explain why he still has a green light shooting as badly as he is. Historically bad!

ATM Bucks should just recognize which teams will stay in front of Giannis and let Bledsoe control the game; otherwise, just let Giannis dominate games where he can.

Totally right – he's never been an outside threat. But! He's improved every season, and I have to think that he'd relied on his driving game for most of his basketball-playing life. It'd be a struggle to get back up to 30s% this season, but it's still early. It's clear that everyone understands that Bucks' potential rests in Giannis' ability to shoot from outside, and they're willing to let him shoot ~10% after 30 games to force it to happen.

― ヽ（´ー｀）┌ (CompuPost), Thursday, 13 December 2018 04:14 (seven years ago)

Want Giannis and Simmons to max out their potential - would make both teams so much more exciting if both players didn't have crippling deficiencies. Again, it's cool that Bucks are giving Giannis leeway to fail; sucks to watch Simmons basically concede this whole year, esp. since 76ers would immediately become a legit team if he could score in the midrange at all.

xp I mean it's not looking great, but he's 2.5apg, so if he did decently on 4apg, he could maybe bring it up. Probably not going to happen for him this year! I think they'd just like him to hit a 35% clip at some point this season - the hope is that they're emphasizing some kind of consistency with his jumper, even if he's fucking it up now. See how it develops!

So I guess Giannis did do a big jumper reformation going into this season. I haven't really paid attention to whether it's looking any worse this season, but it would make sense that his massive dip is him just trying something radically new (esp. if it was instituted right when Bud came in).

re lebrons shooting
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25513076/three-point-revolution-lebron-noticed

While James will never be a marksman of Curry's caliber -- who has never shot less than 41 percent from 3-point territory and is currently hitting 49 percent this season, James is hitting a respectable 37.1 percent this season (up from a career average of 34.4) on the highest volume of his career. That's better than the likes of J.J. Redick, Dame Lillard, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant.
It's OK that James will never wrest the unofficial title of "Greatest Shooter Ever to Live" from Curry (although he is, surprisingly, second in all-time for playoff 3-pointers behind only Curry), just as Curry will never receive the same credit for his passing or overall command of a game on both ends that James does.
But James has entered into a realm of respectability from the outside that is a far cry from his reputation.

― тпсбlack (Spottie), Thursday, 13 December 2018 16:51 (seven years ago)

He's a decent shooter. Which is what makes his relatively low FT% head-scratching. It's gotten worse over the years!

― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 13 December 2018 18:00 (seven years ago)

the FT thing is really weird. hes been pretty lucky that it hasnt cost him in a big moment

― тпсбlack (Spottie), Thursday, 13 December 2018 18:02 (seven years ago)

free throws are almost like putting though, sort of different mental element to it compared to shooting in the flow of a game

― No Smockin' (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 13 December 2018 18:05 (seven years ago)

yeah i agree with m@tt... bron's mechanics always kinda come and go (bron watchers in the media have talked about this for years obv) and there's a lot more time to think when you're at the line

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 13 December 2018 18:06 (seven years ago)

plus i think it's the same wrt putting where once you start having a problem with it, you start thinking about having a problem with it, which makes the problem worse which makes you think about it more which makes the problem worse

actually that's just more like life in general

i also feel like lebron doesn't really give a fuck about like 90% of what happens in any given regular season game at any point... when he "needs" to make FTs he doesn't seem to miss them at any higher of a rate than any other player who isn't an auto 90% FT shooter

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 13 December 2018 18:16 (seven years ago)

thing about brons shot is he makes as many as he does on talent not having good consistent form and its hard to talent in the high % of fts u need to theyre really unforgiving

Deal's suddenly in peril. Memphis and Phoenix didn't communicate directly on trade, using Washington as a conduit in coordinating the 3-team deal, sources tell @ZachLowe_NBA and me. Grizzlies believe they were trading MarShon, but somehow Suns believed it was Dillon.

Ernie Grunfeld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernest Grunfeld (born April 24, 1955) is an American former professional basketball player and current franchise destroyer of the Washington Wizards of the National Basketball Association. In college at the University of Tennessee, he set a new record as the school's all-time leading scorer. He won gold medals with Team USA at the 1975 Pan American Games and the 1976 Summer Olympics. He began his professional career as a player with the Milwaukee Bucks. He served as General Manager of the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association from 1989 to 1999, and as the Bucks General Manager from 1999 to 2003, and then became the president of basketball lunacy for the Washington Wizards. In December 2018, he made a senseless trade involving Kelly Oubre Jr. (Dwight Howard best friend) and Austin Rivers, in which he acquired Trevor Ariza. This is widely regarded as one of the worst trades in NBA history.

too late to tank too, rough. the heat need to find a way to offload those bad contracts and start over. if you have to get rid of j rich to dump a contract then so be it, he's a nice player but not a cornerstone, somehow he's the 7th highest paid player on that team and will be the 8th when Winslows extendo kicks in next season.

this is just sad

it's funny i've actually enjoyed watching this team over the last few years bcuz it's so funky and scrappy. i dunno, a middle will always exist in the nba and they paid the tax (figuratively) for having bron, and the bosh stuff set off a cascade of mildly regrettable decisions. but the east is funny--in order to be bad, like tanking bad, you have to be *really* fuckin bad and it's totally understandable to me why the heat had no real appetite to do that. i think the closest analogue to them in the league is the mavs, but being in the west affords you a paradoxical sort of luxury where you can be kinda middle of the road in the context of the league but get so beat up by your own conference that you end up picking in the top 6 or so w/o ever actually having to stoop down to the level of the kings or suns or hornets or whatever.

zach lowe has been saying that the heat have the bleakest longterm outlook in the nba and strictly looking at the cap sheet i get where he's coming from, but they're a well run, non-reactive franchise and even given their state now i'd still put their chances of winning a title in the next 5-10 years above like half the league. i just think that kind of core competency matters a lot... like the wolves for instance have KAT who is 20x more valuable than anyone on the heat, but their franchise is run bad and always has been, and that history tends to matter.

I thought Klay was having a super rough year as volume 3PT shooter ... but Eric Gordon and Booker both have a worse 3PT% on 7+ attempts a game. Regression to the mean going to be sweet if it happens - each is down 5-8% on 3PT% relative to career. Give Klay a toaster to sign.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Monday, 24 December 2018 21:20 (seven years ago)

tuff sitch cause him and luka are prob a bad fit defensively because they are both bad at defense with little hope of being good due to physical limitations (tho not a bad fit offensively having two creators is great, and i mean maybe it cld work defensively if u play luka at the 3 on D and get good defenders at the other positions u might be able to kinda hide them or maybe both of them can elevate their defense to passable, might be the best bet, tho dsj still needs to improve his shooting too)

but a players 2nd season is not generally the peak of their trade value due to them not actually being good at basketball yet and the rookie shine having worn off

maybe the mavs think dsj never gonna be that good and are looking to unload him before everyone else figures it out or maybe they think he is gonna be good and someone will give them a nice deal idk

― lag∞n, Monday, 24 December 2018 21:29 (seven years ago)

Continue to wonder if the real diagnosis for a lot of these favorite oddshot players is due to cross eye dominance that forces them to mangle their shooting form (and keeps them from managing / changing). A few players, Larry Bird and LeBron IIRC, have always shot with their off-hand, which I think accounts for Bird's funky over-the-head form, which just kept his hands/ball outside out of his field of vision, rather than just trying to evade a shot-block; Bron's shooting has improved the higher his shot release has gotten over the years as well.

Not sure how effective dominant eye training is, but wonder if at some point NBA teams/players might invest in having an optometrist around. Like, it's no suprise that Ben Simmons is cross dominant as well, as are a ton of the other disgusting shooters.

Also very curious if there's ever been a more competitive conference over a season than this year's WC. Almost at the halfway point and basically every non-Suns team is not only in contention for the playoffs but honestly also within striking distance of Golden State (Pellies only 7.5g back atm).

i find it hard to believe that a better and/or more creative coach couldn't work around ben simmons' shooting deficiencies in late game half court situations. and work to his strengths too!

the one thing i will allow brown tho is that most star players don't actually want to run plays at the end of games, and he has three of them. for as much as embiid will gripe about being a floor spacer he just wants the ball in the post at the end of games which is a bad play also. and jimmy just wants to iso and shoot a fade away, which is not great either. good luck to brett brown.

Totally. Do the Sixers run post-ups for Simmons now that they can use Butler up top yet? Simmons has such a nice bunny hook game with both hands iirc, seems like they could rack up some points. Even if he'll never be a better shooter than, say, Rondo, there must be sets they can run that don't give teams the option of sagging off of him at any point.

When Lowe talked to Brooke Lopez a few weeks ago, Lowe asked him if he was a bit sad about launching 50 3s a game now and not banging down low. Kinda cool that Embiid would rather bang inside.

― k3vin k., Friday, 28 December 2018 06:19 (seven years ago)

Warriors get the best from every team nightly and play like they don’t realize it. They are so weird this year. Warriors started 1/10 from the ft line. Big three went 4-11 ft. Klay remains horrible.

But that curry turnover was inexcusable.

― тпсбlack (Spottie), Friday, 28 December 2018 06:22 (seven years ago)

cool things about this game:
-- spurs starting 5 is legit a great lineup top to bottom. forbes-derozan-white-gay-aldridge.
-- derrick white is the third best player on the spurs now. white at 6'5" is long enough to bother wings of any size (save KD) and even tho kawhi shot well, he denied him opportunities to facilitate (5 asts and 3 TOs for KL) and forced him into contested jumpers. he can run the offense with pick and rolls, he can make buckets from anywhere on the floor, and he doesn't make a lot of mistakes. it's going to be a good problem when dejounte murray is healthy and lonnie learns the nba game because the spurs will be loaded in the backcourt.
-- first nba minutes for lonnie! and he hits a 26-footer. had this RIDICULOUS behind the back at full speed and nearly knocked down the tough layup in traffic. it was garbage time but this dude is gonna be gooooooooooood.
-- if the spurs can play like this the rest of the season, they're finishing top 5 in the west.

Crazy game for sure. Dubs had two empty possessions near the end of OT. A Curry 3 and then a Durant 3 (with lots of time on the shot clock I think). If they convert one of those...

Harden’s last shot though. Damn. Love him or hate him, he’s something else.

i just can't get past the foul hunting. even that game winner last night, I haven't broken it down Zapruder style to see if he actually got contacted but obviously he did wind up on his ass, leading me to believe he was hoping for a bailout call if the shot hadn't gone in.

that said, I really enjoyed this piece from the Ringer yesterday:

https://www.theringer.com/nba/2019/1/3/18166695/james-harden-3-pointer-archetype

it's pretty much the most basic thing ever but I don't think it can be emphasized enough, that if you can make a reasonable percentage of threes, there's really no reason not to push the upper limit of how many you take per game. just duh-simple math that if you take 20 a game and make 7, you've done better than making 10 out of 20 twos.

the best argument against hardens game is that it isnt built for the offs which punish ball holders, if he can hit those step back 3s at ~40% wldnt he with some ball movement get easier 3s which he cld hit at a higher rate which wld also be more playoff ready, also he naturally doesnt get as many calls in the playoffs

harden was pretty crazy last night. and his stuff CAN work in the playoffs, it almost did last year. but he cant beat the warriors 4/7 alone. has to have someone like cp... and everyone else needs to ball out. like can you rely on austin rivers to hit 4 threes a game again?

warriors were up by 20 in that game, used to be if they ever got a 15 point lead in a game they m/l never lost. there's some things they need to address and one of them is KDs weirdness, his body language on the court when he doesnt get the ball is very pouty of late (hasnt stopped with the draymond explosion towards him about that very thing) he's clapping for the ball and being demonstrative (slightly less so than he was in the blowout game tho), a lot of it directed at klay it seems. he's playing less within the offense and more iso ball, standing around more.

As long as Philly's offence is built around the severe limitations of their primary ball handler, no other star will feel entirely comfortable there.

Whether or not he gets the bag comes down to how he does in the playoffs more than a soft target story in January. He shows out and he won't be short of offers.

I dunno, this story isn't as much of a thing as it purports to be.

Player with history of relational controversy speaks out to coach on issue everybody with eyes knows to be true during one of the slowest periods of the sports news cycle. Observer said it was disrespectful but "disrespectful" doesn't generate talking head fodder so he "aggressively" "challenged" the coach. Coach says it was fine but of course he would and now we get to relive one of the more intriguing and meme generating stories of the season.

The emerging pattern might give a few front offices pause but they all love to imagine their setup can crack the code and be the geniuses that reclaimed the pariah.

I think if he continues to be as good as he is on the court he'll never lack options. Then again, If he can't show it because he's been reduced to a spot up guy then it weakens his negotiating position this summer in a way that's less ephemeral than all the character stuff.

digging into the spurs' run since december. they started the year 11-14 and have since gone 11-3. a big part of that is getting lamarcus in better spots and as a result, he's been the spurs' leading scorer in the last 14 games since december (22.9 ppg).

demar (20.2 ppg, all stats henceforth since dec) is still shooting as much as LA, but doesn't have the efficiency of LA rn. he's making up for it with more distribution (7.3 apg to 1.9 TOs since dec) and rebounding (6.9 rpg since dec). spurs don't shoot a ton of 3's (24.5 3PA pg), but they make a very high %age (43.4%!!!) and have 3 guys on the roster shooting >40% from 3 with >4 3PAs per game (bertans, forbes, and the reemerging belinelli). bertans has been shooting 55.6% from 3, what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck he should be getting 10 3PAs a game.

finally, derrick white is fucking up the opposing squad on a nightly basis now. he's provided the perimeter defense they sorely needed with dejounte murray injured for the year and has been an anchor on the wing with LA and poeltl protecting the paint. on offense, he's not elite (yet) but he can shoot from anywhere, whether hitting open midrange jumpers, 3s, or blazing to the rim for layups.

in conclusion the spurs will win the nba championship, thank you for reading my blog.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 6 January 2019 00:04 (seven years ago)

I don’t know what to make of the offense at all. their shot distribution, especially with both demar and LMA on the floor, seems like something that really cannot sustain an elite offense

The Cavs’ non-guaranteed 2-year, $6.0M offer sheet to Patrick McCaw, which the Warriors couldn’t afford to match, effectively becomes a $29,412 per day contract (assuming it was made official on 12/30), given their intent to waive him.
— Albert Nahmad (@AlbertNahmad) January 6, 2019

If I'm the Warriors, I’m angered by Patrick McCaw situation. Cavs gave him a big non-guaranteed offer sheet they knew GSW couldn’t match, only to waive him a few days later. Net effect is to take a player under GSW control (and for whom they real money), and instead make him UFA.
— Albert Nahmad (@AlbertNahmad) January 6, 2019

Cavs interest in re-signing Patrick McCaw isn't technically illegal, but it feels like circumvention – signing him to big non-guaranteed offer sheet they seemingly had no intention to keep b/c they knew GSW couldn’t match it, then going after him with contract GSW may’ve matched.

Devin Booker is who we thought Anhtony Davis was:

Kellan Olson@KellanOlson
Last season Devin Booker had a right knee thing, a back/hip thing, inflammation in his right big toe, a left adductor strain, right rib contusion, left hip pointer, triceps strain and a right hand injury that eventually brought on surgery in the offseason.

More
This season he played on his way back from that surgery, sprained his left pinky, strained his left hamstring and then re-aggravated it, dealt with a left big toe thing and a lower back contusion.

annnnnd he left last nights game with back spasms and is questionable for tomorrows game.

― marcos smart (Spottie), Monday, 7 January 2019 21:33 (seven years ago)

feel like this sort of thing isnt uncommon with young players asked to carry a heavy load while theyre still growing into their bodies/getting the necessary conditioning to be an nba star, sometimes they end up being injury prone but sometimes they grow out of it, booker might just need to get a lil more jacked, and teams shd consider brining their young stars along slowly

Will Barton is available to play tonight against the Suns after missing the last 38 games. He's been out since suffering an injury in Denver's second matchup of the season. Gary Harris (hamstring) and Trey Lyles (wrist) will not play.

i know i'm repeating myself but there's no trade. this is the team, as exasperating as it is.

tatum/brown/rozier are tradeable but their value is falling

― micah, Sunday, 13 January 2019 04:07 (seven years ago)

yeah, that's the point. they're not trading tatum just because this version of the team is frustrating. and they're not trading brown or rozier when their value is at a low point.

Phx starting to look like a respectable team. Oubres been good. Richaun Holmes brings energy off the bench. Ayton seems to care.

The wing rotation of warren/bridges/oubre/jjackson is forming a defensive identity. Add Melton in there too and they are scrappy.

really impressed by deandre bembry's activity level. he's in the middle of everything.

yeah he's the best. surprised lowe or any other nba heads haven't written about him yet

― Heez, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 16:14 (seven years ago)

John Collins seems really good at getting buckets and boards. his raw defensive numbers arent great this season but he's only 25 or so games into it. you gotta be encouraged by a dude drafted in the late first round doing 19-10 this early in his second season

i'm still willing to suspend judgement on the trae/luka trade until we see who the hawks get w/ the mavs pick but it won't be very high so odds are that won't end up looking great for them. if they nail their own pick this year tho it may end up turning out ok

Yuki and Yumea Nakagawa were married a few months ago at their local city office in Japan and waited until last week before embarking on their honeymoon. They flew to Phoenix from Tokyo for the first leg of their adventure. They were not there for long. The Nakagawas were on the road again the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that for a series of experiences they can’t get back home.

The newlyweds are honeymooning with an attempt to attend 13 NBA games on 13 straight nights in 13 different cities.

They’re going from Phoenix to Salt Lake City to Denver to Washington to Miami to New York to Brooklyn to Philadelphia to Boston to Charlotte to Orlando to Atlanta to Minnesota before they finally head back to Tokyo next week. They know how this sounds.

“Many people think we are crazy,” Yuki said.

But there was no way the Nakawagas from Yokohama were sitting on a beach for two weeks feeding each other chocolate strawberries. Yuki, a 35-year-old surgeon, had the idea as soon as his boss gave him two weeks of vacation, and he began pitching his wife on a trip that could have very well ended their blessed marriage as soon as it began: the NBA honeymoon.

“We have 14 days,” he said. “We can watch 13 games max.”

Yumea, a 33-year-old secretary, did not take much selling. And so they began plotting an itinerary that’s exhausting just to look at. There are few things NBA teams dread more than playing a back-to-back. The Nakagawas are celebrating with a back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back. Their schedule is reprinted on the enormous sign they bring to every game.

“NBA from Japan,” their poster says. “We are Honeymoon!!!”

There have always been fans who make pilgrimages to the holiest sites on their sports bucket lists. But this extreme version of sports tourism has nothing in common with a trip to Lambeau Field or Fenway Park—or a typical romantic getaway. Other honeymoons have massages and unlimited pina coladas. The NBA honeymoon has flights at the crack of dawn to watch the Orlando Magic. What the Nakagawas are doing is like climbing Mount Everest in a T-shirt. It’s tiring, often freezing, occasionally maddening, wildly ambitious, slightly insane and incredibly rewarding.

It helps that they already had some experience with whirlwind NBA escapades. Yuki, who fell in love with basketball watching Steve Nash, is such a basketball junkie that he’s been everywhere from Los Angeles and Oakland to Oklahoma City and Cleveland for games. But when he got two weeks off for a honeymoon, he wanted to take advantage and travel the East Coast, even if it happened to be the dead of winter.

His wife was game. Yumea went with her husband to Memphis last year to see the Japanese rookie Yuta Watanabe in a preseason exhibition. They were in the air longer than they were on the ground. The Nakagawas turned around the next morning so Yuki could make it back for his shift at the hospital. But not even flying around the world for a preseason game could have prepared Yumea for their honeymoon.

“She liked basketball, but she didn’t know the NBA,” Yuki said with Yumea sitting beside him. “Now she knows a lot about the NBA.”

It took months of meticulous planning to get to 13 games in 13 cities in 13 days. They were married the week after the NBA schedule was released in August. They started mapping out the perfect honeymoon almost immediately.

Their starting point was Memphis at Miami last Friday to catch Dwyane Wade before he retires. They splurged on courtside tickets—Yuki buys on the day of the game to snag good seats for cheap prices—and they even managed to get a selfie with Wade himself. They couldn’t have been happier. Yuki and Yumea are very into selfies.

But their marriage was tested early the next morning when the boarding gate for their 7 a.m. flight to New York closed in their faces. They spent the entire day tanning in the fluorescent lights of the Miami airport instead of watching the Knicks play the Sixers. They landed at 1 a.m. at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Their bags landed at LaGuardia Airport. The only silver lining to their misery: At least they didn’t have to see the Knicks.

They went back to the airport the next day—they have become connoisseurs of American airports—to fetch their luggage and finally made it to Madison Square Garden about 24 hours behind schedule. They posed with their sign and promised they would come back soon. But first they had another game to get to.

The Nakagawas took the subway to Brooklyn and shared a bowl of pre-game ramen near the Barclays Center. They apologized between slurps of noodles for not being hungry. It turned out they had lunch at Keens, the iconic, old-school steakhouse in Manhattan, and they were still feeling the effects of all that meat.

Yuki and Yumea walked over to the arena. She wore a knit dress. He wore a towel on his head. “It is striking,” Yuki said. That was the point. He was hoping that wearing a towel around his head would be enough to get them on the Jumbotron.

But it’s hard to miss the newlyweds at games. They’re the ones with the humongous sign saying they’re honeymooners from Japan. When he spotted them in Washington, Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez greeted them with a hearty “Konnichiwa.” NBA players have a reason to be ecstatic when they see a man with a towel around his head: The home team has now won all seven games the Nakagawas have attended.

By the time they left the game in Brooklyn that night, they were already thinking about the next stops on their itinerary. There was Philadelphia on Tuesday, Boston on Wednesday and Charlotte on Thursday, when the Nakagawas are hoping to bump into Michael Jordan. The lovebirds are closing their honeymoon on Sunday night in a steamy way: Timberwolves vs. Suns in Minneapolis. The high temperature is projected to be 10 degrees.

Their flight home leaves on Monday and lands on Tuesday afternoon. Yumea is planning to sleep. Yuki says he’s going straight to work in the emergency room. “No problem,” he said.

They won’t have time for another NBA trip anytime soon. Yuki has to settle for something closer to home instead: He’s going to Tokyo next week to watch the sumo wrestling.

The interesting thing for the hawks will be what they do with Desmond/Lin/Bazemore. They’re all having great seasons and could really help some contenders. It’s yet to be seen if the hawk’s front office can handle a situation like that.

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 January 2019 03:27 (seven years ago)

iirc the criticism has been more about his not setting the tone in big games, he concedes that he is a killer late

― k3vin k., Thursday, 17 January 2019 03:30 (seven years ago)

bill was holding kyrie to a weird standard (not really a surprise); kyrie has been unassailable this season.

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 17 January 2019 03:32 (seven years ago)

harden was ice cold from 3 for most of this game... 5 of 19 now but he was 3 of 15 a minute ago. 11 of 15 from 2 tho

― k3vin k., Thursday, 17 January 2019 03:32 (seven years ago)

he was holding him to harden's standard which is not realistic for anyone including james harden (probably) xp

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 January 2019 03:32 (seven years ago)

but i think also on that podcast they talked about how kyrie has more value in the playoffs than the regular season because he's so good at finishing without relying on foul calls, as compared to harden (which i agree with)

― marcos smart (Spottie), Thursday, 17 January 2019 03:34 (seven years ago)

yeah that seems right, like picking a random game such as a tough road game in miami and saying the guy didn't show up sufficiently for that game isn't really a "standard"...idk i've watched a lot of kyrie and it seems like he's doing everything he possibly can to play winning basketball this season.

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 17 January 2019 03:35 (seven years ago)

yeah I don't really follow what he's going for, it's very vague. thought his take on kyrie's "leadership" was reasonable tho

xp it's likely because i'm a fan of the team but i find the leadership stuff to be way overdone, it's all code for certain players just needing to play better. it kills me to see kyrie playing his ass off on both ends and other dudes on the team massively underachieving.

at what point do you start to get concerned about hayward tho.

xxxp this was such a good game! spurs were shitting the bed in the 1q, at one point down 23-4. they just kinda hung around in the first half, got close in the third, and put the gas down in the 4th. demar looked as good in that quarter as he has in a while. hopefully he can play like that for a full game when i go see them play on sunday.

yeah. im def intrigued/excited by this boogie thing but if im honest i dont think its gonna work. he's not gonna resemble anything like his old self until probably another season and a half. and im not sure he has the makeup to buy (or even play) into the role that they need him to play. it will be nice to have a big body to bang with the real nba bigs to save draymond and looney some wear and tear. i just think it will be a spot minute thing similar to like what bogut was his last season in gsw. i have a hard time imagining him being on the floor in tight games when it matters down the road. but hey, i'd be happy to be proven of course.

my opinion is that zach lavine is bad and also boylen is bad

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 20 January 2019 15:09 (six years ago)

Boysenberry is the pantomime nobody can even be bothered to throw tomato’s at, but no way is the takeaway from this half season that Lavine is bad, I mean woeful defensively but 14 other players ever have put up his numbers that efficiently under the age of 23. In a less disastrous setup hes easily an all star

― tsrobodo, Sunday, 20 January 2019 18:36 (six years ago)

I saw the Boylen autocorrect but left it cause I think perception of him would be vastly different if he was actually called boysenberry

― tsrobodo, Sunday, 20 January 2019 18:38 (six years ago)

you did points and not points per game, theres actually 42

of which lavine is on pace to be 42nd out of 42 in win shares

― ciderpress, Sunday, 20 January 2019 18:55 (six years ago)

*that efficiently* aka used his ts% as a baseline

― tsrobodo, Sunday, 20 January 2019 18:56 (six years ago)

he needs to hoist better before i get excited

excuse me scoring 22 points in a season is an accomplishment to me

― k3vin k., Sunday, 20 January 2019 19:00 (six years ago)

Would question the value of win shares as a stat in evaluating players on teams that aren’t expected to win.

― tsrobodo, Sunday, 20 January 2019 19:00 (six years ago)

yeah thats just what it sorts those by by default or i wouldnt have even looked at the stat

― ciderpress, Sunday, 20 January 2019 19:01 (six years ago)

i just think as a one way player he needs to be more efficient than he currently is to be intriguing

― ciderpress, Sunday, 20 January 2019 19:04 (six years ago)

I’d argue he’s been very efficient given the circumstances. Given his skill set he’s being asked to do far too much

i mean you might be right, i just cant see him as anything other than a high stats guy on a bad team. he might sneak in as an all-star reserve one day, but right now kyrie, kemba, simmons, oladipo, beal, and lowry are all better backcourt players.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 20 January 2019 19:08 (six years ago)

scoring 22 in _this_ economy is all right, but he's never had a positive on/off rating ever, idk idk

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 20 January 2019 19:09 (six years ago)

i'm a big fan of lavine's too... i think i said i would've traded wiggins to the bulls instead and i don't feel too awful about that right now. i think the style he plays is not really conducive to making a bad team better but i would love to see him on a good team that could cover for his faults. he would be really good in an eric gordon kinda role for any of the top teams in the east right now imo

― J0rdan S., Sunday, 20 January 2019 19:16 (six years ago)

i agree with that, wiggins is badder

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 20 January 2019 19:21 (six years ago)

― ciderpress, Monday, 21 January 2019 21:24 (six years ago)

they're all in kinda similar spots but theres def reason for some optimisim or hope with some of those/ kincks have porzingis at least. magic have some promising youngsters and trade assets. hawks seem to be moving in the right direction with collins/trae/huerter and maybe even bembry. bulls have talent imo, just need to marinate and get new coach (and mgmt obv). heat payroll is a mess.hornets are moving backwards for sure. wizards down in hell with the pistons yeah.

― marcos smart (Spottie), Monday, 21 January 2019 21:24 (six years ago)

then what is they go from 'bad team with no room for improvement' to 'bad team with room for improvement' which is a step forward. but yeah thats not until 2020 for most of those

klaysplosions are fun cos the whole team is trying to feed him the ball it becomes a competition

― marcos smart (Spottie), Tuesday, 22 January 2019 05:37 (six years ago)

i won't argue with anyone who says that steph being on one is better

but there's something about klay's form and how consistently he repeats it that makes him hitting 5 threes in one quarter incredible to watch

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 22 January 2019 05:39 (six years ago)

i dropped my w1fe and kid off at the Lakers/Warriors game, she scored a couple tix and I told the kid he could go. Just picked them up because he was wiped out, i think he missed the majority of the Klay display.

Klay going supernova is something else.

I know stuff like this gets posted regularly and comes to nothing but curious to know why he was playing if this was the actual prognosis when he first got injured

Sent to me today from someone I consider to be trustworthy as far as sources go:

“He (Oladipo) needs months to recover without ruining his knee cap forever ... slow stretching, gradual rebuilding. If he wants to (come back 100%) he’ll sit out the rest of the season.”#Pacers
— Corey Elliot (@CoreyElliot) December 5, 2018

― tsrobodo, Thursday, 24 January 2019 11:44 (six years ago)

curious to know why he was playing

the most common reason would be him feeling pressure to be a hero for the team, which doesn't imply that the management, staff or players were applying any direct pressure. the "shake it off and let's go win this" stuff is everywhere in youth sports and it can get internalized early on. at the nba level it's more common to take the long view regarding starters' health, because the big contracts are a compelling reason not to discount the future.

Rings true but its not close to a contract year and they're not really in strong contention so I'd assume the NBA imperatives should win out. Especially with the softly-softly approach to player health that's been more prevalent recently. Guess I've bee giving it too much credit.

So the media/player vote balanced out the fan vote (fans didn’t have Harden starting the All-Star game):
West All-Star starters:
LeBron James (captain)
Steph Curry
James Harden
Kevin Durant
Paul George
— Rachel Nichols (@Rachel__Nichols) January 25, 2019

Here are the East All-Star starters:
Giannis Antetokounmpo (captain)
Joel Embiid
Kawhi Leonard
Kyrie Irving
Kemba Walker

Neither Dwyane Wade nor Derrick Rose, who each got a heavy push in the fan vote, made the final cut as a starter. Now the coaches get fill out the reserves.

MacMullan: “There’s a lot of tension in that building. A lot of tension in that building, and I think people are wondering about Luke Walton even though Jeanie Buss came out very strongly and said ‘I want Luke to be here, I back him 100 percent,’ but then also made the point that has to be made, and that’s that she hired Earvin Magic Johnson to make these decisions, and if Earvin feels differently she gave him the power to make those kinds of decisions. It’s clear to me, and probably to you Brian, that LeBron’s camp would prefer a coaching change. They’re not too subtle about that.”
Windhorst: “LeBron publicly hasn’t talked publicly in a month.”
MacMullan: “Not LeBron, but all the people around LeBron, and they’ve made it known. I don’t think this a shock, is it? For me to say this?”

celtics can't trade for him until 7/1. timing here is clearly designed to see if he can get out by the deadline.

what's the reason for that?

― ciderpress, Monday, 28 January 2019 14:08 (six years ago)

not totally sure but it's just about two weeks until the deadline and these guys are intentional about everything. it's enough time for the lakers to offer the farm and try to convince the pels that they're not going to do any better.

― ciderpress, Monday, 28 January 2019 14:15 (six years ago)

oh, because you can't trade for two players on designated player rookie extensions. so they need kyrie to be on a new contract before they can trade for a.d.

he's being asked to do more and is less efficient (and consistent) at it. Pretty normal, especially for rookies.

― EZ Snappin, Monday, 28 January 2019 17:28 (six years ago)

prob more that he was just hot to start/teams werent really ready for him, i mean having a 19 y/o be yr #1 scorer and distributor is just never going to really work that good

― lag∞n, Monday, 28 January 2019 17:28 (six years ago)

also he takes very difficult shots

― lag∞n, Monday, 28 January 2019 17:29 (six years ago)

his ideal role is prob a playmaker and #2 scorer next to some super athletic guy who can get to the rim etc, a dennis smith who can shoot if you will

― lag∞n, Monday, 28 January 2019 17:30 (six years ago)

Also his rebounding, steals, and assists are up. He's doing more of the work all around, including way more late in the shot clock hoisting. It's already his team, and guys are differing to him fully.

first of all his numbers are not getting worse, he's taking on a huge offensive load (32% usage in january) and is continuing to thrive. 22.9/8.2/6.5 this month, all of which are monthly highs, and he's cutting his turnover rate every month too

his ideal role is fat james harden.

― k3vin k., Monday, 28 January 2019 18:27 (six years ago)

those shooting percentage are legit bad!

― lag∞n, Monday, 28 January 2019 18:28 (six years ago)

his shooting numbers dipping slightly over a 12 game sample is really not concerning to anyone else in the world that I know of, he's 19 and is running the offense all by himself, it's absolutely unprecedented what he's doing

― k3vin k., Monday, 28 January 2019 18:28 (six years ago)

― lag∞n, Monday, 28 January 2019 18:30 (six years ago)

thinking more about the sixers... why do people automatically throw out ben simmons for anthony davis instead of embiid? you would keep the structure of your team intact but add a better and less risky player than embiid.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 January 2019 02:26 (six years ago)

embiid is better tho

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 02:27 (six years ago)

ant davis for embiid is a sideways move for sixers. they really just need to focus on hiring a shot coach for simmons and signing some vets to give them a real bench.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 02:30 (six years ago)

simmons will never shoot good

also their fans would light the wells fargo center on fire if they traded embiid

― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 02:31 (six years ago)

yeah for one thing philadelphia would probably burn down if they traded embiid, but simmons is already probably the most valuable single trade chip anyone can dangle, no need to up it

the rules and the way the games are called dictated a change in play style that lends itself to buffed stats . there is also been advances in training protocol and sports medicine stuff , dudes overall care more about preparation too maybe.

like even u cldnt get off all those threes w/o the tight officiating which has been an evolving situation over the last ~15 years and this year they even have been calling it tighter w a point of emphasis being grabbing/holding off the ball

i am in general in favor of opening things up for the offense but i think they may have gone a little too far over the last few years and produced not that great outcomes like hardens hack the league schtick, general ridiculous levels of hoisting, and basically made it impossible to play shutdown D

also rendered the once holy concept of a triple double a cheap joke, and made the stats of today m/l incomparable to the stats of just a few years ago

― lag∞n, Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:37 (six years ago)

the way the game is officiated has changed the game certainly but idk how that would account for 7 footers being among the league leaders in assists for example, seems like the league is just prioritizing all-around skill sets more than before, players are more cognizant of what high value shots are, like 10 years ago a guy like manu's or chauncey billups' shot profile would really stand out for its polarity and now that's how m/l everyone approaches offense

the way the game is officiated has changed the game certainly but idk how that would account for 7 footers being among the league leaders in assists for example

― k3vin k., Thursday, January 31, 2019 4:10 PM (two minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

just imagine jokic trying to make those passes while being manhandled by alonzo mourning, the tight officiating is the way the league has prioritized skills over brute force, which is good but just makes it not really an apples to apples comparison to previous eras

trading KP away undoubtedly *decreases* the chances KD signs there right? like part of the appeal was playing with another star...and now they have to hope kyrie actually considers leaving

plus, acquiring a few competent players in DSJ, DAJ, and wes might lessen their chances at the #1 pick?

they could and should and probably will buy out DJ and Wes

its funny no one out there spinning free agent theories even acknowledges that kyrie told the celtics and the media that hes planning on resigning this summer, like obvs its not written in stone but he did go out of his way to say he was gonna do a thing and has since repeatedly reiterated his desire to build w the celtics long term and his general attitude and play are in line w that too

i don’t really tend to listen to what kyrie says b/c he’s hard to take seriously a lot of the time but his play and effort has been impeccable and suggest he’s totally locked in on this team.

and again, he would go from one of the best orgs in the league with great stable ownership and management to...the knicks.

not sure they can get anyone as they have to re-up klay (and could do draymond too). So they will be capped out unless they move iggy and shawn. i think theyll just have the midlevel or something idk exactly tho

i think they are going about it like he's staying but everyone seems to be on eggshells about him. draymond is the only one willing to just be like f u tell me and we saw what that did ha. if they win again i feel like it would be a weird choice for him to leave but he's a weird guy so it makes sense.

it's true but there's also diminishing returns at a certain point. not only are you trading 2 first round picks for a half season of tobias harris, you're trading 2 first round picks for a half season of tobias harris on a team where he has to share the ball with jimmy butler, joel embiid and ben simmons

― marcos smart (Spottie), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 07:39 (six years ago)

any way you slice it between the four of them you're diverting the ball away from a player you've heavily invested in be it in draft capital, trade capital, salary whatever. maybe ben simmons' shots go away but then you've turned your first overall pick who is an all star into a glorified version of mbah a moute.

and that's to say nothing of the other 8 guys on the team who might want to shoot the ball from time to time

this makes sense in theory but if this team is being flexible with lineups aka staggering minutes they’re going to be playing guys who wouldn’t get on the court much for a lot of teams in the NBA. if you’re going to go all in on 4 guys you want them on the court.

re the philly trade they really need to "hit a home run" on the buyout market like they did last year to make it work their bench is just such garbage, and theres the issue of incorporating another guy who need touches but harris is the jack of all trades type who should be able to fit in a lil easier than a ball dominant player like say jimmy butler, if the dominos do fall right i cld see them making the finals, the dominos prob wont tho

i think ppl are underestimating the time it takes for these super teams to gel, and again this is an arranged marriage one where some of the participants don't have that much incentive to see it thru. lucky for them the raptors and celtics are still fitting pieces together too but the sixers are pretty much starting from scratch halfway thru the season and hoping to make the finals. good luck!

he’s been extremely bad for most of the season

― k3vin k., Thursday, 7 February 2019 19:19 (six years ago)

even if all they're doing is replacing valanciunas -- who is essentially unplayable in the playoffs -- with gasol for the price of cj miles (who doesn't play) and delon wright (who has to be paid next season) that seems like theft to me

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 February 2019 19:21 (six years ago)

the idea that he doesn't fit on the team makes no sense to me... he's clearly a small ball 5 on a team that is loaded with wings and guards

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 February 2019 19:22 (six years ago)

his scoring has been bad but hes a great passer and still solid on D. should be tasked wtih much less on offense than he was handling in memphis, efficiency should come back up

i think LeBron's Lakers move has gone about as poorly as one could have hoped or rather maybe expected. also i think it's highlighted an underrated part of his legacy that affects his GOAT status, which is arguably that he's won three chips despite rather than because of his ghost GMing.

― omar little, Friday, 8 February 2019 22:01 (six years ago)

for me it doesn't take him out of the running for being the actual GOAT, it's just an anti-GOAT argument that could be made.

I mean if your plan is to make Bron player/coach/GM I guess Kidd makes some sense, he truly is a man with no real ideas on either side of the ball

one of the fun little non-mysteries of last year was how the Bucks, who actually looked like a stacked team defensively, managed to rank like 25th in defense up to the All-Star break. and the answer was that Kidd was still running the same blitzing defensive scheme that he did in 2014, which the entire league had figured out years prior. it was like those football teams who still ran the Wildcat despite the fact that they were getting blown up on every single play, just because for 2 glorious weeks it took the NFL by storm

i mean it's been the playoff blueprint since the run began. same with Iggy when he's on the court.

double team, blitz and bump curry all day. make other guys make plays. it's worked intermittently in a few series but curry figures it out (minus 2016) and dray/iggy are smart enough to counter

imo the playoff blueprint now is try to force the warriors to iso KD cos everyone gets bored and out of sync.

this reddit thread is amazing

Giannis was writing down a game plan for the game and he threw it away but I went back to find it: it said “dunk everything” in broke handwriting and I was crying the rest of the game when he pretty much dunked everything.

Reggie Jackson wanted high fives from “everyone on the bench” before the game and that included me, but the first time I was so confused and left him hanging, and he had a bad quarter and he comes up grabs my arms and says “you better give me a high five this time or I’m gonna go 0-10 this game”

Jason Kidd was an asshole and had me deliver “beer coolers” to his locker room after games against the bucks. I would put a twelve pack in there and shit was always gone after an hour. Not sure if any of his assistants had any, but Kidd was an alcoholic

Best moment actually was walking in on Poppovich in just underwear and him calmly with no reaction saying “come on in son”.. for reference, I had to clean out the coaches locker room and I thought everyone was gone but nope Pop was watching game film in his underwear at 11 pm

Okc I still don’t trust completely either. Paul George has had some impressive monthlong runs before and he kinda sucked last year in the playoffs. Russels decision making issues aren’t going anywhere and his shooting and finishing is just abysmal. A lot of unproven guys in the rotation who will be leaned on not the playoffs. I have okc rox and nuggs all on about the same tier.

maybe focus on defensive schemes first. things happen fast, so you'll need to widen your focus from watching the ball to watching areas of the court and the flow of motion. it'll start to make better sense after a while.

warriors are so trash to start games these days. its like they go into every game checking to see if they can win it at like 60% effort then get behind and have to crawl back the rest of the game. they should know by now they're gonna get the best from every team every night (for the most part)

i'll believe it when the dubs take 4 L's in a 7-game series

― you know who deserves sitewide mod privileges? (m bison), Friday, 1 March 2019 03:31 (six years ago)

I think the warriors will still win I'm just tired of this iteration. get durant outta there and I'll like them again

― k3vin k., Friday, 1 March 2019 03:34 (six years ago)

the bucks have been the only consistently good team in the L this year but i dont trust them in playoffs at all, but also i dont really trust the other east teams either idk

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:36 (six years ago)

i think one of them will turn out to be good and everyone will be all yeah they were always good and it wont be philly

― Clay, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:45 (six years ago)

it's very hard for me to conceive of the bucks making a complete playoff run. toronto too for a different set of reasons. the warriors should be able to size up any first-time finals team and roast them.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:45 (six years ago)

i said early in the season i thought the eastern team had a great chance to win this year... the warriors look vulnerable every year in the playoffs and the east has 4 teams that can compete with them this year

― J0rdan S., Friday, 1 March 2019 03:45 (six years ago)

2nd rounds and beyond on both sides should be a blast.

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Friday, 1 March 2019 03:45 (six years ago)

if the raptors can get there i think they have the best shot... they match up well and kawhi is good enough to swing a series vs any team

i agree it’s still too early for the bucks

― J0rdan S., Friday, 1 March 2019 03:46 (six years ago)

The warriors went 16-1 in the offs two years ago xxp

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Friday, 1 March 2019 03:47 (six years ago)

i think all of the good east teams cld cause the dubs matchup problems in their own ways

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:47 (six years ago)

i do believe in the nba truism that you must first suffer multiple playoff defeats — often crushing! — before you can ascend up the ladder

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:49 (six years ago)

Looking more and more like Gordon Hayward isn’t gonna be ready this year so I’m not worried about the Celtics as much any more.

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Friday, 1 March 2019 03:49 (six years ago)

celtics also a very low turnover team and the dubs need turnovers to be great

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:50 (six years ago)

hayward has been playing good actually

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:50 (six years ago)

for toronto to win kawhi will have to be totally dominant and lowry will have to show he's past his playoff baggage. those things....could happen. idk if i'm betting on them.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:50 (six years ago)

toronto having a 1st year coach is dubious too

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:51 (six years ago)

hayward has been awful since the all star break which coincided with his practice ankle sprain but i just don't think it's happening this year.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:52 (six years ago)

Yah Hayward looks ok when Kyrie doesn’t play, just a slight problem

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Friday, 1 March 2019 03:52 (six years ago)

i haven't seen that correlation at all. hayward always gets second unit minutes and generally sucks in them.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:53 (six years ago)

Philly is just ... so many new pieces. A total coin flip.

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Friday, 1 March 2019 03:53 (six years ago)

i still wld not be at all surprised if the celtics flip the switch but its obvs a lot less likely than if they had already done it

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:54 (six years ago)

philly isn't deep enough to make a serious run. i've been laughing all season at ppl being like "wait for the buyout market" as if they had some kind of secret sauce that would replicate the ilyasova and belinelli signings.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:56 (six years ago)

yeah its not really what u want to bet on

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 03:58 (six years ago)

Lotta teams who we don’t really know what they are yet ha. Even the rockets, haven’t been healthy all year but if cp is good to go for the playoff push and capella is good to go then they can make as much noise as anyone. Thunder are peaking now, can they sustain it or will they cool? Denver who knows what this team will look like in the playoffs.

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Friday, 1 March 2019 03:58 (six years ago)

rockets sneaking and winning it all this year wld be pretty tite

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:00 (six years ago)

xp that's why it's still smart to bet on the warriors tbh

― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:00 (six years ago)

Yep

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Friday, 1 March 2019 04:00 (six years ago)

no the warriors are cooked

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:01 (six years ago)

Maybe but they could still win it being cooked.

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Friday, 1 March 2019 04:02 (six years ago)

yeah i mean they def cld but it wld be more dramatic if they didnt

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:03 (six years ago)

the much touted "hunger" that people talk so much about does not appear to be operating for the dubs this season. of course, we won't really know what they're up to until the playoffs begin. the regular season no doubt bores them, especially after setting the record for regular season wins they lost in the finals.

― A is for (Aimless), Friday, 1 March 2019 04:07 (six years ago)

the thing about the celtics that I haven’t seen enough people really discuss is that even when they’ve rattled off those impressive runs it’s always been blowing out bad teams. they’re 11-14 against teams .500 and above, which it turns out are the ones u play against in the offs

― k3vin k., Friday, 1 March 2019 04:08 (six years ago)

its harder to beat good teams

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:09 (six years ago)

true but it seems relevant to a discussion of a teams chances of making a deep playoff run

― k3vin k., Friday, 1 March 2019 04:10 (six years ago)

http://www.espn.co.uk/nba/table/_/view/expanded

11-15 actually

― k3vin k., Friday, 1 March 2019 04:11 (six years ago)

the thing with the celtics is theyve just woefully underachieved their talent but like its possible that they will achieve their talent or at least come closer

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:12 (six years ago)

i think ppl feel like overall they've played the top of the east tough even when it hasn't resulted in wins. iirc they haven't played the west very well at all.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:13 (six years ago)

the point I'm making is that the flashes they've shown that make people think that have largely been against bad teams which maybe doesn't mean as much as you'd think initially xp

― k3vin k., Friday, 1 March 2019 04:14 (six years ago)

but also play up until now maybe doesnt mean as much as youd think initially

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:17 (six years ago)

hmm actually playing bad is a bad sign

― k3vin k., Friday, 1 March 2019 04:20 (six years ago)

it's best to play well, generally a good indicator

― k3vin k., Friday, 1 March 2019 04:20 (six years ago)

im not saying it doesnt matter

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:21 (six years ago)

this nuggets/jazz game is 32-24 halfway through the 2nd quarter, what year is this

― k3vin k., Friday, 1 March 2019 04:21 (six years ago)

i've been watching the celtics and there is no indication that they're just going to figure it out in the playoffs. it could happen but it won't be anything we can see currently.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:27 (six years ago)

i think ramping up the defensive intensity wld go a long way

― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2019 04:28 (six years ago)

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2822720-as-luka-doncic-turns-20-nba-marvels-at-runaway-rookie-of-the-year

Some debated if Doncic had enough athleticism for the NBA. Even now, one executive has doubts: "It was expected he would perform ahead of his class, given the fact that he did stuff that no other young player had done in the European league...but it's hard to say he's going to be an MVP-type player because he's already so good this young, and athletically, he doesn't have the upside of many other kids."

bucks have something good going. the have the basketball joy, the good vibes.

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Saturday, 2 March 2019 05:53 (six years ago)

the bucks offense was getting really clogged there at the end... no movement really at all and giannis becomes a little easy to guard in the halfcourt bcuz he can't shoot. they were really relying on bledsoe at the end and it worked bcuz he was on fire but idk if that's the recipe for playoff success. i still like toronto more but the bucks are going like 8-9 deep with good players and when giannis, middleton, bledsoe and brogdon are all playing well they look really really good. brogdon is a beast.

― J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 March 2019 05:53 (six years ago)

back to back for the lakers playing here in phx tomorrow. debating going as i havent seen lebron live. if they lose tomorrow....

On one hand v happy lakers are still garbage, on the other hand v disappointed they are wasting one of the final years of LeBron being THE guy. Really on LeBron though.

I’ve got to think if he was on a one year deal he’d be gone this summer because this is just an organisational mess

― J0rdan S., Sunday, 3 March 2019 10:20 (six years ago)

there was an interesting discussion on i believe the most recent bill simmons/ryan rusillo podcast about what the lakers plan b is if they don't end up getting anthony davis, and they make a pretty good argument that it's pretty dire

― J0rdan S., Sunday, 3 March 2019 10:27 (six years ago)

Yeah, this team needs to add a top 5 guy to meet expectations. Kawhi, KD, AD.

For example, I don’t think the addition of Kyrie and a couple vets would make this team significantly better (as in to the point of legitimate contention).

― Hey hey, the tipple’s weak sherry (fionnland), Sunday, 3 March 2019 11:36 (six years ago)

Hate to say it but Isaiah Thomas shouldn’t be getting any more playing time for the nuggets. It’s too late to try to integrate him and he’s really bad right now.

kudos to silver for keeping it real re our anxious alienated contemporary culture tho the nostalgia for the age of jordan and couching it in basketball terms is kinda ridiculous, can totally understand why ppl wldnt have sympathy for super successful athletes but its gotta be an insane amount of pressure trying to be one of the ~500 best guys at something with constant media scrutiny etc

once they saw boog get picked apart and roasted throughout the first quarter they were like whats the point. stephs rhythm is way off with boogie. the whole "only one ball" thing was bs when kd came but with boogie in the starring lineup its def real. having 3 guys that need the ball to work at their best + klay who needs shots just doesnt make sense.

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Wednesday, 6 March 2019 18:09 (six years ago)

boogie at the best of times is not a great defender but watching him drag his leg around out there while the celtics pranced by him is just like this is not the guy this team needs at center

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 6 March 2019 18:12 (six years ago)

some sort of bench scorer role kinda makes sense except for when u consider that in the offs the dubs are gonna have two of steph/kd/klay on the floor p much all the time

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 6 March 2019 18:14 (six years ago)

and then just dumping the ball to him in the post on offense on occasion...

a boogie back to the basket post-up is the 4th worst option in the starting lineup

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Wednesday, 6 March 2019 18:14 (six years ago)

yeah even having to consider getting him shots is counter productive

ultimately it just seems like his body isnt right enough to play even passable D which if that doesnt improve basically makes him unplayable in the offs

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 6 March 2019 18:23 (six years ago)

yeah. i mean he can still pile up stats vs crap teams that arent smart enough (or dont have the personnel) to pick on him but as we see the games vs the teams that matter arent going to work

“The business part of it is what makes it terrible for me, honestly," Kyrie said as he signed the contract that ensures he will be paid more than 100 million dollars, whether or not he is able to 'be great at basketball' by the time the contract has run its course.

he's getting older, not playing at 100% on both ends during the regular season, and joined a team that wasn't ready to slot in a star and immediately contend. theres nothing really that surprising going on here and it doesn't change that he's the best basketball talent of all time

well yeah he could've not played a single nba game and still be "best basketball talent of all time" I guess?

― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 7 March 2019 19:59 (six years ago)

that's true but the whole "LeBron + scrubs" thing worked pretty well in the past and it's worth mentioning that a couple months into the season the Lakers looked like they were gonna cruise to the 2nd round. maybe the fact that the scrubs he's played with in the past were usually experienced dudes and not unpolished 22-year old trade pieces has a lot to do with it, especially with Bron giving the entire team a reason to quit on him. idk. I would've expected the opposite - Lakers to come out flat in the first half of the season, eventually gel into something decent and give someone a tough playoff series.

That elbow that PG threw at Nurkic's head was absolutely not a natural move during a drive to the basket. He should have been called for a flagrant 2, but the refs refused to call anything at all. Shitty as hell.

Then, during the unavoidable jawing at the other end, when Nurkic leaned into PG and touched his forehead to PG's head the TNT announcer kept saying "head butt" over and over, but spring lambs literally butt each other with way more force than that. It was a technical, sure, but pretending it was violent contact was just stupid.

― A is for (Aimless), Friday, 8 March 2019 06:51 (six years ago)

If it were back in 1977 and Maurice Lucas were suited up for the Blazers, PG would have been paid in kind. Those days are over. But the supposed remedy is refs calling flagrant fouls when they happen, so payback isn't needed. The league needs to look at that one hard and issue a remedy.

the isaiah thomas experiment just has to end. agree with kevin devine here:

https://www.theringer.com/nba/2019/3/8/18255961/five-most-interesting-nba-teams

It’s been three weeks since Isaiah Thomas made his season debut, returning to the court 11 months after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on the injured right hip that sent his career into a tailspin. When the Nuggets added the former All-NBA point guard last summer, they did so hoping he could provide some additional scoring punch and pick-and-roll playmaking off the bench for a team loaded with young talent but light on postseason experience. Eight games into the experiment, though, Thomas has looked less like “The King in the Fourth” he was before injuring his hip and more like the unsteady searcher he was in last season’s aborted comeback attempts in Cleveland and Los Angeles.
The 30-year-old got off to a solid start for Denver, scoring 24 points on 17 shots in 29 total minutes off the bench in his first two games. He’s struggled with his shot since, though, making just 18 of his past 52 field goal attempts and three of his past 21 3-point tries. Since the 5-foot-9 Thomas is always going to be a dicey defender, he needs to provide surplus value on the offensive end. To some degree, then, it makes sense that he has the highest usage rate among Nuggets rotation regulars since his return, topping even MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. The problem, though, is that Thomas hasn’t been able to earn his keep as a scorer or facilitator, ranking in only the 14th percentile among NBA players in points scored per shot attempt and in the 0th percentile in both assist rate and assist-to-usage rate, according to Cleaning the Glass
Nuggets coach Michael Malone, who shepherded Thomas’s emergence during their time together in Sacramento, has made it clear that he doesn’t want people blaming Thomas for a recent rough patch in which Denver lost three straight before beating the Lakers on Wednesday. But while it’s reasonable to suggest that no one player is to blame for a skid, it’s tough not to see Thomas’s introduction as an inflection point: Denver’s bench, which had posted the league’s fifth-best point differential before his arrival, has been outscored since his debut.
An offense that had run smoothly through excellent backup point guard Monte Morris has hit some speed bumps with Thomas thrown into the mix. Despite Malone’s attempts to prime the pump by playing Thomas in playmaker-heavy three-guard lineups alongside Morris, Malik Beasley, and Gary Harris, Denver is scoring just 92.6 points-per-100 in Thomas’s minutes, 30,000 leagues under the NBA’s worst full-season offensive efficiency marks. The fluidity and ball movement that’s been the calling card of the Jokic-era Nuggets have ground to a halt with IT on the ball, trying to find a balance between getting with Denver’s program and getting back to his old self. So far, the seesaw has tilted toward Thomas gunning. That’s not what the Nuggets need.
Players need time to knock the rust off and get their legs back under them after a long layoff; after spending the bulk of the past two years rehabilitating one of the more damaging injuries a player can suffer, it stands to reason that Thomas might need a little longer than most to recover his burst, balance, and shot-making rhythm. But for a Nuggets team that’s just one game behind the Warriors for the West’s top spot, every minute and possession devoted to reacclimating Thomas is one not given to a player who has already proved he can be a productive part of one of the league’s best rotations. Thomas has just 18 regular-season games to show signs that he can be Denver’s postseason X factor. If he can’t, Malone will have to consider returning his fractured favorite back to the bench for the good of the Nuggets’ postseason chances.

IT2 was consistently a step slow on every move he attempted and ran into a waiting defender. he couldn't even get off a decent pass most of the time. he looked fully cooked, at least for the remainder of this season, if not forever.

Since trading star Tobias Harris to the Sixers in a win-win deadline deal, the Clippers are full of players who would classify as the fourth- and fifth-best starter on a more traditionally constructed roster. Danilo Gallinari, having arguably the best overall season of his career, is the only player on the roster averaging more than 30 minutes per game, which is a testament to both the Clippers’ depth and Gallo’s newfound health—he is on pace to play more games this season than he has in any of the previous five. No one in the current rotation averages fewer than 18 minutes per game, either. Rivers has the freedom to mix and match lineups, though the makeup of his roster creates very obvious modern templates. At any given point in a game, the Clippers will have on the court a four-out offense, with either four on-ball playmakers (when Gallo is on the floor at power forward) or four premium floor spacers (when JaMychal Green is in at the 4) and either Ivica Zubac or Montrezl Harrell as the rim-running center. With that many players capable of making plays off quick reads in a floorplan stretched to its limits, the Clippers present obstacles to their opponents not via star power, but depth and competent strategy.

from this:
https://www.theringer.com/nba/2019/3/12/18260947/clippers-lou-williams-bench

And yet, it’s hard not to be optimistic about the Clippers, who have pulled off the elusive triple-whammy of developing young and inexpensive talent, becoming a legitimate playoff threat, and cultivating both culture and the cap space to add a true superstar (or two), all in the same season. Perhaps it all comes back to the most distinguishable facet of their identity. There are teams that pride themselves on their second unit, and then there’s the Clippers, who feel like one continuous, flowing entity that happens to be 12 deep. The Clippers, now roughly a season removed from the headaches of the Lob City era, have become a dream—for players, coaches, and the front office.

Re kd: Dubs need kd in certain matchups but they would still be title favorites without him imo. Just less margin for error. And obv would need someone at least as good as young Harrison Barnes was in his place. Although I have to now admit that the draymond slippage is real as all the possible excuses are out the window and it looks like he’s just lost a little athleticism. Still a genius and I’m sure he’ll turn it up for the offs but the days of him dominating every night are behind him.

I still get surprised by some of his dunks. "oh nice move Giannis, that'll surely result in a soft lil layup, maybe an underhand flip. it's a shame you didn't start that move closer to the hoop plus there's a big man in your path, but a layup or short floater is still 2 points, job well done"

gotta tip the cap to demar for that shot over klay

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Tuesday, 19 March 2019 03:04 (six years ago)

reasons why spurs are good now:
(1) i rly feel like cutting pau was addition by subtraction. he wasnt getting a lot of minutes anyway, but it has boosted jakob poeltl's play since he's been added to the starting lineup. i was initially skeptical of a trad two-big lineup, but they have made it work on offense by stretching LA to the 3 pt line where he satarted to hit a couple. and defensively, poeltl and LA are juuuust agile enough against most starting units that they can make it work against opposing frontcourts.
(2) demar was in a baaaaad slump in january. he got some time to rest and it's paid off big time. he's been cutting to the basket a lot more which is getting him to the FT line. when he cuts, he gets passes to open outside shooters. he's hitting some tough midrange shots again, too, and he's become a decent enough defender! no one will mistake him for 2017 kawhi, but he gets in passing lanes and creates fastbreaks off steals.
(4) their core 9 guys are all finally healthy. this is white-forbes-derozan-aldridge-poeltl starting and mills, belinelli, bertans, and gay off the bench. gay has been able to pick apart second units off the bench instead of getting third option scraps as the starting PF.
(5) derrick fuckin white.

This Lakers team remains really weird to me. I’ve been here long enough to remember the sheer excitement over the Shaq Lakers and the rabid fandom that accompanied the less likeable but fun Kobe solo Lakers, and here they got LeBron and there isn’t this sense of a bad season before the next glorious run, it seems to me that everyone recognizes LeBron is too old for there to be much hope for the immediate future, plus again as I said before I just don’t think his takeover of the team has been appreciated.

Of course the D’Angelo trade was before he arrived, can’t pin that on him. But it’s pretty symbolic of the era.

Basically they need PG to be play at his peak like he does for 6 weeks out of every season for the whole playoff run.

Rookies usually have a few swells and dips. Rookie point guards aren’t usually very good at all. Trae started just about as bad as you can start vs luka the opposite.

i had some n64 nba game back in the day in which i discovered if you did a fadeaway jumper from a certain spot on the floor the AI would foul you 100% of the time and you could just rack up points regardless of whether you ever made the shot, harden reminds me of that come to life

Harden is a hoops genius some people hate geniuses. He’s also kind of an nba weirdo hard to connect with on a human level it seems. Only thing that kinda bugs me about him is his clamoring for the reg season mvp award.

Harden and Paul were both mostly bad in that series but their defensive game plan (and the roster they built) was a master stroke. Stymied the dubs a bit got in KDs head made it about ISOing vs ball movement etc

its not just that series tho harden has been bad in the playoffs for his career, and it makes sense that hes been bad because of his style of play

he relies on the refs reffing the playoffs the same way as the regular season and they don't

― ciderpress, Wednesday, 27 March 2019 13:26 (six years ago)

he still gets to the line a lot i think the bigger issue may be that playing so much iso is just easy for good defenses to prepare for, ball movement is a hallmark of winning playoff teams

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 March 2019 13:38 (six years ago)

his free throw attempt rate did crater in the playoffs last year (from .5 in the regular season to .35) but that hasn't been a trend over his career.

his ftr is down to .44 this season though it's actually the same number of free throws with more field goal attempts. tough to say how that will translate.

i always find it bizarre that we talk about harden's fatigue level 10x more than any other player. there are some good reasons for it but it's still overemphasized imo. that said, if he's tired, getting to the line on drives to the hoop and having the legs to make the stepback are the first two things that are going to go.

While a trade for Davis seems like a pipe dream for the Knicks unless they win the NBA Draft Lottery and trade the No. 1 overall pick, the possibility of Durant and Irving joining forces certainly is in the realm of possibility, as the two stars talk almost every day, Windhorst reported on "The Hoop Collective" podcast.
"Let's say the Knicks don't get No. 1. Let's say the Knicks get No. 2 or No. 3," Windhorst said. "Think about a scenario where, in the same offseason, the Knicks could get Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving because I think it's in play. I think it's hard to trade Zion Williamson even for Anthony Davis because Anthony Davis only has a one-year commitment.
"But let's say they do get KD. Let's say that KD and Irving, and by the way, I’ve had someone reputable this week tell me their relationship is as strong as ever, that Durant and Kyrie talk every day and, if not, text every day.”

any one of the top four east teams wouldnt be a surprise to me in the least. i think coaching will play a big role and all the coaches have their issues. the gap between the best player on all four of those teams isnt that big imo.

they shot about 10% from 3 which doesn't help. millsap has actually been great since the all-star break...their biggest weakness is giving up 3 pointers on defense which is why they have no shot against the rockets and the warriors are a really tough matchup for them, though they've won a few games vs them the past couple of years

― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 3 April 2019 15:09 (six years ago)

Millsap has been great lately and has carried the team at times but they need someone who can create offense instead of just feeding off Jokic. Isaiah Thomas was worth a try for this reason.

good call. great read:

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26414950/inside-magic-lou-trez-la-freestyling-bench-stars

so many great 'trez whisperer' quotes:

He is aware of his influence on younger players. "Sometimes, the young guys are like, 'Why didn't you call me?' Because I usually have them go with me on the road, or when I go out to eat. But sometimes now, I go by myself, because y'all are probably not gonna be able to operate how I'm gonna operate. I don't want to put you in a position where you won't be at your best and I still can do it."

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Wednesday, 3 April 2019 19:30 (six years ago)

i don't think the nuggets should invest very heavily in a point guard. in big moments they're gonna run the ball thru jokic, plus murray and harris are gonna get their times handling the ball too. i think they would do fine with a patrick beverly or malcom borgdon type player at that spot. monte morris could even be that guy if his three point shooting is for real and he can D up enough.

i just think in general they need to beef up the rest of the roster. malik beasley, will barton, torrey craig, trey lyles etc are all nice players for the regular season grind but to advance beyond round 1 of the west playoffs i think they're gonna need more juice. michael porter jr is intriguing for this reason but given his injury history and the fact that he's played like 3 games total or something above high school ball idk how much he can be counted on in big games over the next few years.

personally i would not be jumping to pay paul millsap's $30 million option

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 3 April 2019 21:43 (six years ago)

yeah I’m torn about millsap. he’s been great this year and I wasn’t thrilled about the signing in the first place, but MPJ isn’t going to be ready to take on a big role next year, and it seems likely that the nuggets will either pick up that option or extend him at a lower AAV. I think picking up the option is probably the best choice given the team’s timeline

the issue as you and matt have identified is that the team has too many solid players and no real #2 option, and harris’ and murray’s arcs are starting to concern me.

― k3vin k., Wednesday, 3 April 2019 21:53 (six years ago)

I’m not sure why you guys don’t see Randle as a long term upgrade here. He’s really good!

― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 3 April 2019 22:21 (six years ago)

In any event, I doubt the nuggets pay Millsap 30 million next year. It makes more sense to negotiate a 2 year deal with him and have extra money to spend on a small forward.

honestly no idea. personally of the free agents i would like to re sign bogie + thad + cojo (if the $$ are suitable), let collison and tyreke walk, and then idk.

bogie is clearly playing very well but i am nary about giving him more than like 12M/y over the long term. holiday should be the starting pg next season which leaves money on the table for a star g/f

Can anyone explain to me why the nuggets would rest starters in this game

― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 8 April 2019 02:12 (six years ago)

yeah I don't get it at all. these games are pretty huge for seeding purposes...their chances of beating houston in the second round drop from about 20% to about zero without home court

― k3vin k., Monday, 8 April 2019 02:23 (six years ago)

though letting portland win tonight is the only way to get them to the 3 seed, which would be ideal...

I assume the logic is that the nuggets don’t care which 6-8 team they play and they don’t want to play the rockets in the second round but I don’t like the idea of tanking games for this purpose.

― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 8 April 2019 02:48 (six years ago)

I mean I guess I get it now, avoiding the rockets at all costs is probably worth it

― k3vin k., Monday, 8 April 2019 02:51 (six years ago)

If they made the second round the season would be a huge success, just strange to see

― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 8 April 2019 03:22 (six years ago)

so the ideal scenario for the nuggets:
- win one of two vs jazz and wolves
- portland beats sacto and lakers
- houston loses at OKC

if this happens the standings finish nuggets 2, portland 3, houston 4

The Sabonis thing is interesting because he does look terrible on defense at times because of his short arms but then his one on one defense can be great. There’s nothing wrong with being the best sixth man in the NBA tho.

Dray is out tonight so I guess he stayed under 16 Ts for the year!

― DJI, Thursday, 11 April 2019 00:39 (six years ago)

Think kd got his 16th tho lol

The team is still assessing Johnson's decision, but general manager Rob Pelinka will stay in his job, and, if anything, his power will grow, sources told Shelburne.

given how well-known it is that she talks to ramona, "sources" probably equals jeanie buss. has jeanie noticed that everyone in the league seems to hate rob pelinka?

also seeing bob myers rumors starting to appear. i'm not in any way convinced that bob myers is anything special so uh sure, go for it.

Hard to know how good of a gm he is when he has the two best gms in the league ahead of him in the pecking order (steph/dray)

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Thursday, 11 April 2019 02:14 (six years ago)

he just hasn't really had to do much in the way of big things and i don't think his marginal decisions have been great.

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 April 2019 02:17 (six years ago)

wait, why the hell are the blazers sitting all their dudes?

― k3vin k., Thursday, 11 April 2019 02:44 (six years ago)

what the fuck

― k3vin k., Thursday, 11 April 2019 02:45 (six years ago)

do they have seeding to play for? sorry, i haven't been on top of what west seeds are still in play.

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 April 2019 02:47 (six years ago)

I think to avoid okc in rd 1, thunder swept Portland this year

― Clay, Thursday, 11 April 2019 02:47 (six years ago)

of course maybe thinking past round one and smashing into the dubs in the semis would occur to these guys but the brass is traumatized by the pelicans series last spring

― Clay, Thursday, 11 April 2019 02:48 (six years ago)

Lol this is all so insane and honestly the blazers and nuggets should lose second round picks for this

― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 11 April 2019 02:54 (six years ago)

I am outraged

do they have seeding to play for? sorry, i haven't been on top of what west seeds are still in play.

― call all destroyer, Wednesday, April 10, 2019 10:47 PM (eight minutes ago)

if they win and the nuggets win, they get the 3 seed

― k3vin k., Thursday, 11 April 2019 02:57 (six years ago)

eh whatever, a decent team should beat the thunder

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:00 (six years ago)

yeah that's weird to me, the jazz are a much better team

― k3vin k., Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:02 (six years ago)

also you have to consider that russ might be low on batteries as he tends to be this time of year

― Clay, Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:05 (six years ago)

but i am telling you that series last year severely fucked people up

― Clay, Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:07 (six years ago)

even though the blazers have a confusing ownership situation it's reasonable to think that if they go down in the first round as a high seed this year some people are getting fired

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:10 (six years ago)

i guess there's an injury excuse but still it would be rough

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:14 (six years ago)

there's also the thing of, like, what do you even do with this roster if their main gear is "getting crushed in the first round every year"

― Clay, Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:15 (six years ago)

If Stotts is behind this, I trust his judgment. If it is any other part of management, they should butt out.

honestly the blazers and nuggets should lose second round picks for this

Nah. If there is ever a moment to sit your starters, it is the last game of the season, when you've clinched home court and your eventual seeding is not in your own hands. Injuries happen, you know, like what just happened to Nurkic and to Smart. This was a legit decision for legit reasons.

― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:28 (six years ago)

blazers gave up 87 to the kings in the first half

― sknybrg, Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:36 (six years ago)

it's one-two-three, what are we fightin' for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn.
Next stop is fourth seed in the offs.

Most of the blazer players getting minutes tonight have had limited minutes this season. This is their chance to play before being shut down for the year. Giving up 87 in a half should give them something to think about going forward.

― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:42 (six years ago)

Oh my god is this blazers state media on here

― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 11 April 2019 03:53 (six years ago)

if they dont lose a 2nd round pick, they should spot the opponent 10 points in game 1

You all do realize there are 82 games in the regular season, don't you? And the first 81 have already been played? And being ready for the playoffs is rather more important than anything that could have been accomplished in the 82nd game?

What is so awful and stupid here? Learn me.

― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:09 (six years ago)

lagoon and i went to game 82 a couple years ago and it was the worst basketball i've seen in my life for one

aimless stop

well tonight is going terribly

― k3vin k., Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:15 (six years ago)

it was the worst basketball i've seen in my life

the only time it was ever going to be good was in the unlikely event that there was a big reward for winning or a big penalty for losing. the odds will always favor that the last game is the most meaningless game the team will play all season.

― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:21 (six years ago)

who has tiebreakers on who?

― ciderpress, Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:33 (six years ago)

denver's gonna lose so the kings and blazers game is irrelevant

― Clay, Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:34 (six years ago)

if denver loses it's 2. nuggs, 3. rox, 4. blaze

if portland and denver win it's 2. nuggs, 3. blaze, 4. rox

― Clay, Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:35 (six years ago)

Ha all three games are close ish

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:37 (six years ago)

that doesnt make sense how does portland win a 2 way tie but come last in a 3 way tie

― ciderpress, Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:37 (six years ago)

i think it would be 2. portland 3. hou 4. denver??

idgi i am just reporting what i have been told

― Clay, Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:39 (six years ago)

i guess it depends on how the 3 way tiebreaker works like if each team has tiebreaker over 1 other team in a circle how does it work out

― ciderpress, Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:40 (six years ago)

they should decide it by ILH poll

― Jeff Bathos (symsymsym), Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:41 (six years ago)

last games of the season are delivering. fantastic.

― sknybrg, Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:42 (six years ago)

3way tie is determined by record against one another so hou's record v. den/por, den record v. por/hou, and por's record v. den/hou. if theres still a tie, go off conference record. still a tie? fight to the death

― you know who deserves sitewide mod privileges? (m bison), Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:42 (six years ago)

lmaooooo denver is winning this game and portland might also, too delicious

― k3vin k., Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:44 (six years ago)

this is good tho, iirc portland and okc kinda hate each other so series should be chippy also for me personally it is obv the best to get in a series against players you can't stand and my feelings about rwb are pretty well known around here

― Clay, Thursday, 11 April 2019 04:45 (six years ago)
