Nowadays if a team catches fire from 3 you can more or less balance out being outplayed in terms of those 'keys to the game' X's and O's: controlling the glass, low turnovers and out-assisting your opponent. Now the tug of war coaching chess of yesteryear has been replaced with everyone just running to the 3point line.

That was the beginning of the end for sure.

I'd a say if Giannis win another title he has a case for top 15 all-time especially if it's against KD.

Of course it is. Nothing concrete separates being number seven from being number 11 or hell number 16. Society being obsessed with the number 10 because it’s the first one arbitrarily decided to need two characters to represent doesnt doesn’t mean it’s any kind of real cut off. something in our heads attracts us to the numbers 1, 3, 5, 10 and...

He's put in his time.

they have a franchise player. He's not Gobert but he sure beats Mitchell!

Dame is worth ofc. He and holiday aren’t in the same tier and bucks biggest weakness was reliable offense outside Giannis in playoffs. They wont be one of the best defenses in league anymore but still will be a good one until Brook falls off. Grayson is nbd, not playable in playoffs and they have Connaughton and beasley at sg. Edit: ...

Everything is in flux. I'm not saying this to hate on the Jazz, it's just the truth. If Lauri has a similar year to last and comes out after this season saying he wants a max even with the Jazz record continuing as a mediocre team, I'd wager that he immediately becomes tradeable as well. That's the nature of rebuilding teams that don't have a true...

No dynasty lasts forever. :ohwell:

:roll:

NPC (Non Playable Crackhead) is at it again :oldlol:

mental blocks go around...

LeBron did it in his prime though btw Kobe responded by just beating them

kind of hit the nail on the head.. I trust Dame's offense compared to Jrue. Jrue would go to often 1-10 ad in the 4th qtr would finally raddle off 6 buckets to keep his average on par. That offense adds up to loses , Dame won't let that happen. I see a 60 win season for Milwaukee this year if not better.

For me, it’s more the variety. To answer your question directly? Yes, I am more entertained by the best post up players than the standard dribble dribble, dribble, harden style. But at the time in question it wasn’t all posting up. Yea Hakeem posted up. Shaq. Whoever. But there was also Jordan. He did it all. Drexler posted up and drove. Nique did...

a piece of shit.... he was in a game lighting it up, and everyone was astounded as well as himself. we don't need a one game wonder.

Clarkson has moves. The ball going in the bucket is what I want not prayers and bricks

Warriors are looking like the 2014 Heat. Old and no more options to improve the roster.

For sure would be nice to see defense come back but Silver is on record saying he doesn't want it to because he feels it's a "worse product for the fans." Damn though I know Big Al was a black whole but you gotta respect the moves. What about ZBO? That dudes was fat af but was tearing people up down low haha

we'll see. George looked like one of the best players in summer league and Hendricks can play as well to along with Lauri, Kessler and Agbaji. Having a mix of vets and youngsters is the way to go. Now they just need to dump The Bum and all will be good

MAKE NO MISTAKE: trump is anti-union. The place he's going to in Michigan today is a non-union plant. NON-UNION. He wasn't invited to show up by any union because he's non-union. In fact, he was invited by union-busting owners. His union policy track record shows he: - Rolled back worker protections - Blocked overtime for workers -...

This article came out JUST YESTERDAY! https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10090924-jrue-holiday-hopes-to-retire-with-bucks-i-dont-want-to-play-for-any-other-team

Ehhh I get what you are saying but I do feel it has more to do with the emphasis on analytics as some others have mentioned here. Some AAU style BS doesn't really belong in the NBA IMO but I get why a lot of bad teams would do it, as you could get hot and overcome talent differential. However, more and more there are examples of very successful...

the inefficient black hole Jefferson was not fun to watch. I'd love to see the defense be given a chance instead of every advantage going to the offense.

Yeah there are obvious pros and cons of the deal for the Bucks, only time will tell how it will play out. Losing Allan is a loss too, he has been a good piece for them. Going to be an interesting season to watch tho.

Last year didn't help the Jazz progress towards the goal of a contending team regardless of your personal "feelings" or bias. Even the notion of avoiding a "losing culture" doesn't apply as the grand majority of players currently on the team won't be there in 2 years. Losing more and getting a top 4 pick would have helped more than the...

If Morey can flip harden for Jrue that is a win. Both expiring but Portland would definitely want more in return. Philadelphia has nothing else to offer as they are completely depleted of all viable assests. Would need a third team, maybe the Clippers finally come to the party to take Harden. Hopefully their package will satisfy the...

Bron built the banana boat and got criticized, and then all the superstars built their own banana boats.

LeBron was kinda the pioneer of players taking matters into their own hands. Kevin Garnett was crying on TV, but the GM of Boston put it together.

Their 3P% is about neck-and-neck for the regular season, but in the playoffs? Jrue: 33.1% Dame: 36.9% The disparity’s been even more pronounced the past-few seasons. This is also despite Dame being the first option all those years; it’s hard to imagine him faring any worse now with Giannis’s interior gravity, which’ll give him...
