Spacebump posted:or when Blair had to miss a game vs the Spurs last year. It's crazy that a guy that's logged 64 minutes this season had such a big impact on that series. I don't think the Mavs were going to win with him, but they had a much better shot. I'd prefer they'd just called Vince's blatant travel and we didn't have to go through all that bullshit.

Remember when he was going to run a post centric offense with Faried and McGee. In other news McGee has been back for a while and is playing like 15 minutes per game. I have a feeling He's going to have a one year run on a contender of total domination and fade back into obscurity.

I think the next will depart from this one in a lot of ways. In other news, Minnesota has a two game lead for worst team. They're at 8, Philliy is 11, NY is 10. Minnesota is playing Zach Lavine A LOT, and he is terrible. He does not know how to play basketball. I say that sometimes about players who look lost, but Zach really doesn't know how, like he needs to watch youtube tutorials about running a pick and roll.

One day I will tell my children the legend of JaVale McGee and they will not appreciate what a miracle of the universe it was that he was paid 10 million dollars a year to be a chucklehead.

I don't think another rookie is scoring in double figures, and everyone else is shooting badly too.

The Lakers lost nine in a row, won one game, and ended up closer to falling out of the bottom five than before the nine loss streak. Like it sure seems like the actual lineup the Lakers are playing now shouldn't have to fight to stay in the bottom five but I guess that two week period where they played 500 ball doomed them.

On repeat viewing it sorta looks like the trainer does fake a left cross to Blake's personals in response, which Blake then covers, which would indicate a more traditional friendship than one way bullying. Thanks

Igor Strelkov posted:Historically, head to head record doesn't mean anything at all in the playoffs. You just have to look at the matchups and season long production and see what you can see. Atlanta seems markedly better, but you cannot discount healthy Lebron. He's a monster truck with a grappling hook. It will be interesting if they play in round 2. Yea, looking at season series results for playoff prediction is akin to tasseography (not good). The Cavaliers D is so paltry I wouldn't even worry about LBJ with his monster truck and grappling hook this year.

I'm obviously biased but I think both the Warriors and Grizzlies are more legit contenders than Dallas at the very least, probably the other two as well. I think San Antonio's finally done, but of course people have been saying that for years.

Wiggins isn't even shooting that badly. 43/37% at 16 points per game isn't awesome but it's good enough for RoY. The last two RoYs shot worse from the field and he somehow has even less competition than MCW did. He'll be the best RoY since Irving! I just looked up Irving's stats. He's averaging 22/5 on 47/41/84%. Also a career high 1.6 steals per game. He has only missed three games so far this season.

He showed some improvement throughout last season, then showed an improved outside shot in the summer. I think he could provide some quality minutes in the backcourt

Rick posted:There's no motivation for anyone to participate in a sign and trade anymore. There would have been for Melo though. Chicago couldn't offer him a max without a S&T. It also would have allowed Chicago to keep their MLE. It worked out great for the Bulls that Phil wanted to keep Carmelo. But I think the better play for the Knicks would have been to work out a S&T with Chicago for some assets. Maybe they could have gotten Mirotic and a couple 1st round picks out of the deal which would have set them up nicely for the future.

Vogon Poet posted:The Cavaliers are a completely different team since the trades + return of healthy LeBron. Right now for the whole season their opponent FG% is .460, fifth worst in the league. The best is Golden State's .421. Over the last ten games the Cavs' is .409. That's partly due to the level of competition, sure, but I wouldn't call their D in its current state "paltry." Icy Penguigo posted:The Cavs D has improved a lot with the addition of Mozgov and the return of Lebron from his 2 week vacation. It will only get better as the season goes on, too. I'd be surprised if their defense is seen as a weakness when the playoffs roll around. It seems improved on paper and on court but I don't think Mozgov is some kind of panacea to that problem. Every team has an ebb and flow to the season and the Cavs have hit a good stretch (and they're still a full percentage point worse than league average). Give me ten games and I can make any team look good in an area where they have a mortal weakness. I suppose the question is whether or not they can get that D FG% better than average (one of the thresholds that determines if a team should be taken seriously or not) over the course of the next 32 games.

Nuggets tried to trade McGee/Hickson/lovely protected Memphis 1st for Brook Lopez but not even Billy King would bite on that turd sandwich. Today it broke that they're trying to bring over Joffery Lauvergne, who was a 55th pick PF in 2013 and seems to be pretty decent. He left his Russian team today so yeah, they're looking to blow poo poo up big time. edit: lol quote:John Schuhmann @johnschuhmann · 5h 5 hours ago Halfling Wizard Bear fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Igor Strelkov posted:
That's a bit unfair on Zach. He's Ok, he's just not-a-point-guard and is mostly being played out of position. I think at the 2 he'd look better. He's not starter-quality but I think he'll be a good rotation guy as a secondary ball-handler, shooter and slasher. Jesus Rocket posted:Obviously its still early in the season but who has looked the the rookie of the year so far? Will Wiggins overcome the terrible shooting narrative going on? Has anyone else been looking good? ?? For a rookie Wiggins isn't shooting that bad at all. His usage is lower, but his efficiency is very similar to Carmelo's rookie year. Wiggins has a bit higher eFG%, TS% is a bit higher for Carmelo, Wiggins has a higher 3p%.... If you look at the latter part of the season Wiggins shooting is even decent by NBA standards, though admittedly inconsistent. His defense also has been very good for a rookie. Mirotic has been more efficient and on a better team, but Wiggins is playing and scoring more, which usually is a big driver for ROY. There's also more narrative because of the trade so
