Dejan Bimble posted:Billl Laimbeeer did the same thing for the bad boy pistons, with Mahorn as his enforcer instead of Ben Wallace. I believe there were several ABA guys who played that way, but I only vaguely remember anecdotes from loose balls. Sheed never had great 3p fg% but he could face up and get to the basket if his defender stayed off of him and gave him a free stride. How does adding Jamychal Green and drafting Edmund Sumner catapult the Nets above 5 other teams

By all accounts Wade hates playing in Chicago. He's gonna opt out because he doesn't want to be an injures old man on a loser team.

Now that Bulls Wade is an elite 3 point threat he could go to Cleveland since they always need spacing.

Dejan Bimble posted:Also, the nets are playing 6'8 Alan Williams from UCSB at nominal center and he's putting up serious numbers. Wrong bad team, Williams plays for the Suns. He's the rare NBA player who was actually born and raised in Phoenix and his mom is the Phoenix police chief. He's fun, I love him.

leftist heap posted:Is Chicago going to be better or worse with Wade out? Wade is still an NBA-Starter calibre player, and he bails out the ugly Bulls offense pretty frequently. I think Butler was helped a lot having a high usage player playing next to him too, so I wouldn't be surprised if the last stretch of the season looks a bit worse for him. I'm not sure what difference this all makes. If that elbow takes a while to heal god help the 2018 Bulls.

I thought losing Wade would be a disaster but like the rest of 2016 I was wrong about literally everything. Dragic is so good when he has freedom to run the entire show.

Easier on him and better for a team if he does go ring chase though. He can look like 2008 Wade for 20 minutes off the bench absolutely clowning scrubs.

I also think they did a great job getting young talent and everyone underrated Spo. Spo is at worst a top 5 coach and should win COTY. Edit: Wade on the Spurs as a 6th man next year would be insane.

Dallas and Miami this year should lock Carlisle and Spoelstra into the HOF. When people wonder how Jackson or Pop would have done with a roster of trash, those two can serve as an example of what a genuinely great coach can make out of mediocre parts. Every guy gets used in the best possible way.

euphronius posted:Rob Covington is a 3nD guy now. Agreed. He is a great defender and is a league average 3 point shooter for his career with a pretty high volume of shots. That one dude has hated on his shooting multiple times so far this season, just focusing on him having a rough two month start to the season and ignoring everything else.

You must do what you feel is right Also it depends, guys got away with mocking Derek Fisher's daughter's cancer, but people have been kicked out for milder stuff if the player or coach complains to security.

Up to the players and coaches. Westbrook is apparently thin-skinned when you bring up Durant and has gotten people kicked out of games for it this season.

Late to the party, but that's a prime MJ dunk and I love it. Kawhi is a monster. edit: I looked up Paul George's numbers and was surprised to see he's having a good season with better shooting numbers than last year. The Pacers are so boring, he completely fell off my radar this year. Also: https://twitter.com/swish41/status/842037542740492289 Jack's Flow fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Mar 16, 2017 |
