Another reason to be a Denver rather than Detroit fan According to James Edwards III, on his latest podcast, Mike Muscala actually was fine with staying in Detroit but because Monty (aka Troy) told him that he likely wouldn’t play in favor of James Wiseman, they offered Muscala a buyout so he can go to another very young team in OKC that actually has a chance to make noise this year.

Lockback posted:Hibbert was bad to watch but that brief period fo ruling verticality like that was kinda interesting because players driving had to either body people out of the way or do like Rose did and just contort yourself around the player to get a layup. I liked the little samurai duel that had to go on everytime a guard met a big in the restricted area. bring it back also vic wants out news is dumb as hell. yes the spurs hosed the season by playing jeremy’s soochan, so chan🎶 at pg, but come on

Shear Modulus posted: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. he literally played shooting guard for most of last season. so i get trying to eke him along, the whole mega skinny human being ting

Mean Baby posted:I don’t really buy that the top of the draft is 2013 bad. The reality is that the prevalence of European and now emergence of African talent has greatly raised the floor of any draft from a decade ago. The top college prospects and Ignite are all playing really well lately. Guys like Sheppard, Dillingham, Knecht, and Tyler Smith coming out of nowhere helps as well. The line on the draft is no elite talent. instead of 1-6 it's like a draft that starts at the 7th pick mainstream analysts have coalesced on zaccharie rissacher becuase he shot well in the last bit but like nikola topic is 3rd overall and hes' a 6'6 pg who can't shoot and it's just like put this loving thing out of its misery

Mean Baby posted:Overall, yes. There are some people who are want to trade him because the fan base is tired of combo guards. The good news is he just had one of the best games of his career against Minnesota getting 34 points and 14 assists after really struggling against their length just a week prior (right after he had a kid). Teams clearly respect him, he is top 5 in blitzes and top 5 in ball gravity, which is in the elite elite offensive tier. he is good and he is very injury prone

The wolves offense is ant's battering ram thing and Kat shooting over people. Now it's gonna have to be more of a pnr deal with gobert. That can win a playoff series. If Kat can be back by round 2 I think they could be okay. Let's change topics, this is too sad. Which NBA player is most likely to be gang stalked?

Here are a couple random thoughts for your reading pleasure 1. It's been said that the nuggets promised Reggie Jackson a longer term deal when they acquired him as a waiver wire thing after a trade. Should they have broken that promise? Would they better with another random vet in that 5m a year slot? 2. Championship teams often have players who are better than their roles, maybe a former borderline all-star who accepts a 5th man or 6th man type of role. Like Igoudala, "The Big Racialist" Andrew Bogut, and kinda KD on the Warriors. The celtics have Porzingis and Jrue Holiday way lower down the hierarchy than most teams. Cause they're super talented and deep. Meanwhile the Nuggets are pretty loving weak after their top 5 guys. peyton watson and christian braun will have to play playoff minutes Monty + Troy have combined to make the worst possible moves this year so it's pretty shocking that the wizzzzards have managed this. mike muscala was genuinely helping them win games. monte morris. GET RID OF THEM. FOR NOTING. Off with their heads. LET THEM EAT WISEMANS

ant is 6'4 jordanDeimosRising posted:I mean, they won last year with basically the same team. Top 7 minutes guys are all the same except Reggie in place of Bruce Brown. For playoff minutes Jeff Green was top 7 too Brown was key for them and going to small lineups with Jeff Green as nominal 5 were super important though. Young players don't win championships. Everyone's made good points about Reggie though In other news, pistons beat the nets. Cade was great. Jalen Wilson looked like he belonged in the venezuelan basketball league. Looked like a completely useless player. nets are really hosed.

kingcobweb posted:I worked in phone stores for about five years total. Pretty often after people got a “new” phone number they’d come back into the store saying that they keep getting all these texts and calls for the phone number’s previous owner, and they’d ask for a TRULY NEW phone number. I’d have to explain that in major cities, every phone number is a re-used one; there’s less than 900,000 possible legal phone numbers for a given area code, so every number has been used probably by several people before them. what's crazy is that it's so common that so many people change numbers that when you get a bill collector call for the ex-phone number owner and you're like "oh you called 555-555-5555?"That's my number now. and people just accept you at your word. would be a good way of avoiding bill collectors yourself now that I think of it

Covid was in essence a bioweapon because it was assembled with parts from the bioweapon toolbox as part of peter daszak, ralph baric et alls attempt to create a polycorona vaccine. It escaped, long story short, because France wanted a biotech industry to compete with Germany's and built BSL4 labs in China, including Wuhan, to a not great standard of worksmanship. The covid vaccine mandate did expose otherwise healthy young people with natural immunity to harms because it did not provide them with any more protection than they already had. Remember there was a whole stretch of time where the mass media decided there was literally no such thing as natural immunity to viruses. In many cases where vaccines were rolled out without enough development time, there are problems. the us military inoculated soldiers with anthrax vaccines that caused all kinds of problems. I think the libertarian right like John Stockton were surprised to see supposedly their side, these "Small government" republicans support things like mask and vaccine mandates, general lockdowns because they thought they were on their side. Got all shaken up. But lawmakers were aware from the start about the probability of covid being in essence accidental biological warfare on the population and were trying to protect people. I think that's the most diplomatic way that can be put My friend who has autism got 15 vaccinations by lying about previous vaccinations at different sites and he seems fine. There was apparently some guy who got 217 via a similar train of thought that more vaccinations would be better. So you know only the unlucky really suffered clotting and similar issues while covid was a more wide ranging threat.

team dime is not a gang Earlier in the season, Deandre Ayton played far less aggressively. At the time, Ayton said on Thursday, he was feeling his way through the offense and playing with new players. But there was more to his struggles. “My body wasn’t just my body,” he said. “People forget the humane difference of me adjusting to everything.” That included something as routine as getting proper sleep. “Just being comfortable in waking up,” he said. “I didn’t have a bed for quite some time. I was on an air mattress. Just trying to figure this out.” Source: Oregonian

If you're in an air mattress situation just order one of those bed in a box foam mattresses from amazon. They will wear out in 2 months but even a clapped out foam mattress is worlds better than that poo poo. I ended up getting a 4500 dollar queen hotel mattress that's flippable (rare these days) for 1500 on closeout. Felt like xmas every night I laid me head down to sleep. you can find good deals on ebay.

Lockback posted:Ignite players never seemed to give a poo poo about winning or losing and that's probably a really poor place to be for young talent. Like Dokmo said, it was always a showcase never a team (save maybe year one) They never had shooters to space the floor. They never had legit g-league bigs to rim protect and rebound. They consistently put top prospects in the worst positions, I honestly thought it was like a plot to pay these guys 1m a year in exchange for showing a worst case scenario to NBA teams, to limit the downside risks of early lottery picks. If they had built it like a real team it would be different. NIL i think solves a ton of problems for the NBA, but they're still going to have to do a ton of player development themselves
