the switch from teague/horford to schroder/dwight at the 1 and 5 is really gonna take the hawks d to the next level
― Heez, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 04:17 (seven years ago) link
schro is a good defender?
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 04:22 (seven years ago) link
horford is probably a better defender than dwight too
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 04:26 (seven years ago) link
nah schroder is a great defender. dwight mostly gives us consistent rebounding which has killed them recently. so many 2nd chances after playing solid d.
― Heez, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 04:35 (seven years ago) link
don't get me wrong teague and horford were very good defenders but schoder and dwight are gonna take it up a notch
― Heez, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 04:38 (seven years ago) link
i'm getting real fired up about the hawks d as they play against the pelicans bench
― Heez, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 04:40 (seven years ago) link
i feel like they m/l made lateral moves, which may work out since they needed to shake things up anyway. see if schroeder can outperform what teague brought and see if dwight can actually care again

celtics gon be good this year friends theyre playing kinda insane levels of team ball in preseason
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 05:42 (seven years ago) link
actually the celtics will be bad
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 05:43 (seven years ago) link
hmm hold on let me double check
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 05:44 (seven years ago) link
they gonna be good
celts proba gonna make the jump from tier 4 to tier 3

However I could 100% believe that they will keep him just to give press something to ask about besides Durant and 3-1

some good articles on the web today. strauss's draymond piece is really good. Good RWB piece. Good KD piece. I havent worked yet today

jordan called the green piece great gossip so im going to read it

"The guys might be frustrated by his antics, but they had an opportunity to prove themselves without him in Game 5 and they played like a bunch of [cowards]."
lol
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 16:44 (seven years ago) link
it is good gossip but also good in other ways
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 16:45 (seven years ago) link
ha how did i miss this
When it's his turn to address the crowd, Green, victory cap slightly askew, shambles across the podium, snatches the mic and declares that he's excited to be speaking. Golden State PR maestro Raymond Ridder, Green explains, "tried not to let me talk today. He know I'm gonna get controversial."
And then he proceeds to validate most all of Ridder's fears: "With these guys, everything's fun. The only time it's not fun is practice ... film ... games ... bus rides. I'm the only person that gets talked about what shots I take and all those things by Steve Kerr. Like, every time I take a shot, he complains. So that's why, if you see, every time I make a shot, I look at him. Dude complain every time I take a shot."
From his seat on the stage behind Green, Kerr shrugs and loudly counters: "Twenty-four percent!" Which just happens to be Green's 3-point shooting percentage during the final three rounds of the playoffs.

that story is great! the gossip is good but i mean insofar as it relates to the power structures w/in the franchise
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 16:49 (seven years ago) link
Kerr once quipped of his team's appeal, "We have a very likable group of guys -- other than Draymond."
lmao
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 16:49 (seven years ago) link
as far as draymond goes it seems fortuitous that the warriors have had coaches who played primarily with michael jordan and kobe bryant
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 16:51 (seven years ago) link
ha good point
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 16:52 (seven years ago) link
i feel like the bulls are about to go on a run reminiscent of the tim floyd era
― nomar, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 16:53 (seven years ago) link
lmao i love dray
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 17:01 (seven years ago) link
so much fascinating stuff in there. dray could really learn from it if he doest just get all defensive about it but I'm sure it will go the other way.
always hurt to see draymon berating ezili in games, it got worse and ezili lost all his confidence. I'm sure thats who mo buckets was talking about.
kerr handles dray the right way but man it's a fine line he has to tip toe.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 17:01 (seven years ago) link
dray easily the most entertaining player in the league over the last year +
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 17:02 (seven years ago) link
ya undercutting a teammates confidence is def an indication youre becoming toxic
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 17:03 (seven years ago) link
still cant wait for dray inevitable attempt in a starring role in some other team thats not full of the best shooters of all time
it seems unusual to me that the GM and coach were willing to go on the record for a story like this. the warriors are def a ~different~ organization and they prob trust ethan ss but it def seems like they're trying to get thru to draymond somehow
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 17:06 (seven years ago) link
for real. they seem pretty transparent

Fast Break @GSWFastBreak 12m12 minutes agoQs raised over Dray's leadership in @SherwoodStrauss's piece ultimately just player dev issue. He's a natural leader, but can he be better?
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 18:15 (seven years ago) link
its a fine line, hes def charismatic and models hard work well but on the other hand overly excitable is a very anti-leadership trait, hes at an age where ppl tend to mature a lot but also seems like his natural tendency is to rebel against criticism which its clear hes getting a lot of from management, also lets not forget hes a compulsive nut hunter
