So they'll be pretty good if their two good players play really well and the roleplayers don't mess things up It's a recipe for a few games above .500 record, barring injury They're like a layer of room temperature water, a layer of boiling scalding water, with more room temperture water on top. You have to drink the top, avoid being scalded with the middle, and hopefully you aren't in such a savagely injured state that you can get the lukewarm bottom down

Even though it's my theory, I'm willing to admit that him losing like 8% of his body fat might have drasically changed the way his nose rests on his face. But there are some angles that really look like plastic surgery, and I've been around a lot of surgeried people.

They have no shooting, they don't rebound as good as they should, the offense is predictable, and they aren't good defensively. 2016 can go gently caress itself

Everyone knew the thunder would be awful at offense with the lack of shooting and unlike Bulls, the Thunder don't have andre robinson randomly learning how to shoot 3's

The Thunder are pretty much exactly what you would've expected them to be coming into the season, maybe a little better. Westbrook is arguably the best player in the league and every other guy on that team is good at maybe one or two things at most.

Ibaka turned to dust and Oladipo is playing well so it's hard to argue that the move was bad but I also kind of felt Ibaka provided some stability that the team just doesn't have now.

Everything they do makes sense from a distance, but the closer you get the harder it becomes to justify. Ibaka was part of those defensive lineups that nearly buried the warriors. It's a shame he developed no face up game whatsoever and got Dirked out of his offense, and that nobody liked him. Oladipo is just a random okay combo guard. What are you going to do with him? How many minutes would he play on the Warriors? How many guys like him exist, how many guys like Ibaka exist. Goes doubly so since they gave Oladipo a big extension. And Domanatas Sabonis is not a piece that will lead anyone to contention. I guess they're hoping Russ will attract stars to OKC if they stay afloat until they have the chance to really make moves. Would you want to play with him if you were a star wing, for Durant, the answer was no Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Nov 24, 2016 |

The Warriors scored a lot of points last night. And the Pelicans have a pulse. I like that. Also, if anyone cares, Steve Kerr is on the latest episode of David Axelrod's podcast. He talks about his youth, the assassination of his father, Trump, stuff like that.

I know what you're trying to say but the correct decision has always been "Don't sign Evan Turner for a lot of money" and no amount of rationalization can make the Blazers look... better or competent for signing him. Like, sign nobody. Nobody at all. Don't sign Evan Turner for that much.

Ohhh baby He looks like he had a few good games and now he's forcing it trying to keep his run going. The fact that KAT also played like poop meant he tried creating offense where he really shouldn't have. He loves posting up on the baseline, like 10 feet from the basket. That is really not a good spot. He needs to either get good deep position and try to do more moving towards the basket.

euphronius posted:Joel embiid third best defensive center ? I've got deandre and gasol ahead of him. When he is on the floor Bogut is still really effective for Dallas. Dwight is having a really nice bounceback year defensively. Swapping him out for Horford (another good defender) has made their defense about 2 points better. Not to rain on the Embiid parade, but while defensively he is much better than most other 76ers, he is not really anchoring any good defensive lineups. With him on the floor they are a worse defensive team than they were on average last year. RPM has Embiid a positive defensively, but near the bottom of the "starting defensive center" category. It's not surprising, even if they put up stats it usually take a few years for defensive centers to come into their own.

paternity suitor posted:More importantly - Okafor is the worst defensive center isn't he? RPM has Okafor, Jefferson, and Kanter all grouped together as really bad defensive centers this year, that sounds about right. The RPM winner (loser) with the worst defensive output for a center is none other than Karl Anthony Towns. Since he plays heavy minutes anchoring one of the worst defensive team in the league, this checks out. Offensively KAT is #2 behind only Cousins (who is #1 by a mile).
