Listening to Jackson Browne's Load Out/Stay always relaxes me into a better mood when I'm angry. The Pels made me angry tonight. Lockback posted:He's a weakside guy, but that's OK.

I kind of wonder what the next big evolution in basketball will be; we're in the middle of leaguewide pace and space, so I feel that the next trend is a move back to post-up offense but with skilled bigs who can pass and knock down three pointers, some type of position less thing with lots of switching on defense

We already saw some teams playing man to man in the playoffs to some success in spurts. I could see teams trying it even more. If there's less switching, then the natural response is post play to take advantage of one on one matchups. With that said, we could just go even farther down the motion defense and offense and the end of position basketball has been foretold for like twenty years now.

So how do we feel about the Cleveland Indians potentially blowing a 3–1 series lead in the finals. Is this karma for LeBron's Halloween party? A sure sign that the Cavs will miss the playoffs this year? Discuss

I think you'll see point guards facillitating from the pivot as opposed to strict face up isos and pick and rolls I also think you'll see more big men initiating the offense especially as the size gap between positions decreases Finally I think as a whole you'll see more off ball movement as players will be expected to hit shots on the move as well as with their feet set This is in like two or three bball generations though and you'll always hve some people running the ball through goliaths

My First Week Power Rankings, Please Argue With Me:
2. GSW 3-1 - Were their close calls to against the Suns and Pelicans and blowout against the Spurs at home just growing pains, or is Portland just that loving bad at defense? Looked like last years Warriors tonight. 3. Clippers 3-0 - Destroying opponents through marginal possession value advantage compounding over a game. Still massively susceptible to momentum spiralling out of control. 4. Hawks 3-0 - This is a good basketball team. 5. Spurs 4-1 - With Duncan gone, so is some of the mystique. Kawhi has been ridiculous. Loss to Jazz keeps them out of the top 2. Beating the Warriors keeps them inside the top 5. 6. Bulls 3-0 - The three alphas thing is working, but their three point shooting is not sustainable. Should come back to Earth as a grind it out team that plays excellent fundamental basketball. Kind of like them. 7. Celtics 2-1 - You have to play very hard and fundamentally sound basketball to beat them. Will destroy the flotsam of the league. 8. Jazz 2-2 - Win over the Spurs boosts their credentials, but losses to the Clippers and Trailblazers hurts them. Should be a top 1/3 team. 9. Toronto 2-1 - Solid squad. DeRozan is going insane. 10. Houston 2-2 - Can score with anyone, can get scored on by anyone. Eric Gordon looks great. 11. OKC 3-0 - Close wins against bad teams paper over a terrible offense. Have to muck up game against more talented opponents. Will be blown out twice in the next week (in all likelihood). 12. Pacers 2-2 - Solid. Thad Young and Jeff Teague are generic starters, but fit nicely. They'll go as far as Myles Turner can grow and Paul George can take them. 13. Trail Blazers 2-2 - Their defense is so loving bad. McCollum and Lillard will be shooting them out of holes every night. They're good enough on that end of the court to mitigate the damage. 14. Pistons 3-1 - No good PG for the foreseeable future, but everything else about this team is set up to keep it in the top half of the league for the next 5 years. 15. Charlotte 2-1 - Good players all over the court, this team will push their Eastern conference rivals, but lack the star power to make a bigger splash. 16. Grizzlies 2-2 - Solid. Going to pretend that tonights game didn't happen because they were playing a lineup of the high school team your create-a-player goes against in NBA 2k 17. Nuggets 1-2 - Jokic and Nurkic are legit, but Malone's having a little bit of trouble. Mudiay is bad. They are missing Gary Harris more than I thought they would. 18. Heat 2-2 - Hassan Whiteside and Dragic are good, but it's hard to win with two good players and an assortment of young in the NBA. 19. Kings 2-3 - DeMarcus and Rudy Gay have been ridiculous, but the rest of the team just isn't very good. Will push a lot of good teams. 20. Timberwolves 1-2 - 3 Weeks without Rubio will give Dunn the chance to shine. Destructive on defense tonight. Towns has been mediocre, Wiggins good (but not passing). 21. Knicks 1-2 - Will probably end the season 5 spots lower. This is a disaster. https://cdn-e1.streamable.com/video/mp4/6wjf.mp4?token=1479272022_60c928188cf0d32396d4461ed4ac77701ab40c61 22. Bucks 2-2 - Spacing issues all over the court. 23. Mavericks 0-3 - A bad start for the team, but a promising one for Barnes & Co. Lost two squeakers. Pretty good. 24. Wizards 0-2 - Beal and Wall issues show no sign of relenting, but they should finish around .500. 25. Lakers 1-3 - The best of the bad teams. They can score in a hurry and run the court, but can't defend a lick. 26. Magic 1-3 - Their backcourt is terrible and their frontcourt is lopsided. Vogel needs to sort out effective rotations with Biyombo back. Tanking for an elite PG would behoove them. 27. Suns 0-4 - Playing good teams fairly close with some nice pieces, but still a way away. 28. Pelicans 0-4 - Davis is otherworldly, but their bench player bonanza over the summer hasn't reaped rewards. Holiday and 'Reke are sorely missed. 29. Nets 1-3 - Scrappy, but bad. 30. 76ers 0-3 - Embiid looks great, but can only play 25 minutes. Everyone else on this team is very bad. Saric looks okay. Do the little things to lose games. straight up brolic fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Nov 2, 2016 |

Eric Gordon looking great surprised me, but it's balanced out by Ryan Anderson not looking great. Overall, I'm just happy to see them run a drat offense. They need a point guard for when Harden sits, but when he's playing it looks legit with like, screens and cuts and other poo poo they couldn't do because they had to clear out for Dwight.

Boogie Cousins fouls by quarter tonight 1: 0 2: 0 3: 0 4: 6  And #6 was a megaquestionable offensive foul on a made basket when the game was almost over. And the Kings lost in OT.

MourningView posted:I'm so happy D'antoni is back. Everyone made fun of him for it but I miss his Demolition Man hair. Made him super easy to pick out on the court which I always like when I'm intensely staring down a game. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I remember the Rocket used a Jason Terry, Corey Brewer, Josh Smith lineup a few times and that weirded me out because even though those guys are three different sizes it turns out the signifier in my head for all of them is 'black, buzz cut + headband' and it would make my brain short circuit figuring who was who while simultaneously paying attention to the game. e: also I just learned that Jason Terry is benchwarming for the Bucks???? I got confused for a minute and then remembered the Kidd/Terry connection via their time on the Mavericks. Wonder if he's getting groomed for coaching or if he's just there to keep the young guys in line. CRISPYBABY fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Nov 2, 2016 |

This is the most sensible explanation I've heard for why that bench unit was able to score at all let alone provide some of the more watchable Rockets ball in the Dwight era attackmole posted:e: also I just learned that Jason Terry is benchwarming for the Bucks????

Wonder if he's getting groomed for coaching or if he's just there to keep the young guys in line. Probably all of the above, but he wasn't terrible his last year on the Rockets. Good for a couple 3s, probably shouldn't have played as much as he did but that wasn't his fault. e: Harden was the first Rocket with 40/15ast/5 in a game.

So many guys posting video game type numbers, it's delicious. I am still out on DeRozan though. My 16 year old self would have embraced that guy, because tough jumpers with a man in your face? All day! Now I can only see JV not getting the ball for another season, while the Raptors will live and ultimately die on DeRozan going 1-on-1 in the 4th quarter of an important playoff game. I know he's good, but he's definitely not for me. edit: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/02/sports/basketball/charles-oakley-knicks-cleveland.html quote:On Saturday, the Knicks celebrated the franchise’s 70th anniversary by honoring several former players and family members at halftime of their home opener at Madison Square Garden. Oakley was not among them. He cannot understand why he has been exiled. To him, it is beyond comprehension. Jack's Flow fucked around with this message at 11:35 on Nov 2, 2016 |
