Coby with 37!!, Ayo and DeRozan combined for 80 points, wow. Amusing to have a 4 guard and a center lineup for so many minutes.

It is remarkable how 90% of the games the Bulls play are the exact same game, irrespective of quality of opponent, and the outcomes are seemingly decided by coin flip

The Kings' defense are here again to make a low to mid-tier team think "we have a chance!"

The Kings are not a serious team. It went from jokingly talking about scheduled loses to now downright certainty that playing at home to a worse team and/or team missing best player is an automatic loss Also Mike Brown apparently has all the same flaws as his early coaching years

Doc is a coaching savant by… running Stotts’s plays. https://x.com/MikeClemensNFL/status/1764868869900976313?s=20

He's smart enough to not run his defense at least.

If only Milwaukee had some way of getting Stotts to instill an offense for them

![]() The wild part to me is that Van Exel did that thirty years ago. He was ahead of his time. Although D'lo probably breaks it by a good 10-15 if he doesn't get hurt or play like he did in December.

He really was. Looking up Van Exel, he took 6 3-pointers per game in 1994-95. As a comparison: noted sniper Steve Kerr led the league in 3-point shooting % that year at .524. His number of attempts per game: 2. Van Exel was awesome. What a fun player. I really liked that team when they had Ceballos and Eddie Jones too.

Yeah that 94-95 Van Exel team made me a lakers fan. So fun to watch, he just gave no fucks at all.

Mean Baby posted:Doc is a coaching savant by… running Stotts’s plays. Doc is the Copernican principle incarnate. When he was coach/GM of the Clippers he would actively try to trade for players who had good games against him, on the assumption that if they were good against him in one game, they'd be good against everyone in all other games. Similarly he's running plays that he had trouble defending on the assumption that everyone else can't defend them either.

Declan MacManus posted:but you'd also notice the same thing trying to watch a game from the long ago halcyon days of 2013 Thank you for the reminder that until like last year the last time the Knicks were any good they were shut down by the Pacers and Roy Hibbert’s defense in the paint. Notice how many of the highlights there for the Pacers are layups and dunks while the Knicks are jumpshots of varying ranges. Beautiful stuff. And people in SAS hated that defense heavy era Pacers so that was also a plus. And of course… LANCE!

Hello go Cavs I have not been paying much attention this year but maybe I should since Cavs are doing well, except not this past couple weeks.

Again, if the Kings are even slightly below average on their free throw %, they'd have at least half a dozen more wins and probably would be the 4 seed.

I liked the little samurai duel that had to go on everytime a guard met a big in the restricted area.

the spurs must trade victor to a playoff team if they respect him. but not a really good team, that would be unfair. Maybe… the 9th seed in the west. No idea what team that is, just spitballing but that seems like a fair outcome

They'd still be outside of sniff radius of the play-in and just have slightly worse lottery odds.

To be fair every time they ask Vic about something he say, “that’s great, but did we win?” European sports culture is all about moving teams to win trophies, it is not about tanking. I definitely think the Spurs are on the clock to be title contenders by year 3.

putting sochan at point was an effort to mold him into a draymond-style jack of all trades, or an aaron gordon to wemby's jokic. it had some benefit, he's much improved at off-ball movement on offense lately. the really fucky lineup decision was playing wemby at 4 for the first half of the season, which i think was done partly to convince him that he is a much better fit at center

honestly i thought he would be bullied a lot more once he started banging around with NBA centers but he's really held his own. I guess they got him the fast-acting steroids
