I still believe that JoJo will be healthy and dominant next season, just someone get him some bionic knees or perhaps a rabbit's foot for good luck

Mirotic was legit good last year, PER 16 is a solid starter (remember PER 15 is not average for all players, it's weighted by minutes. There are only ~100 guys with PER above 15 in the league in a given year). Last year he was hitting 39% of his 3s and taking a healthy amount. And while his defense isn't incredible, I think he's a little underrated because he does a lot of stuff ok. He regressed this year. I think a lot of that had to do with the mess the Bulls were through most of the year. I still this he's a starter-level type player, but probably will never sniff an all-star game.

Mirotic is the Jay Cutler of Stretch 4's His ceiling is above average, and his floor is garbage, and he wildly fluctuates between those two extremes.

Does anybody have a video of Harden locking his arm into Taj Gibson and then shooting to get foul shots?

Coaching absolutely matters in this current NBA where you have to juggle between offense and defensive specialists. The Grizzlies/Spurs game has been a very good game of coaches that micro-manage the best players for situations, for example. Brad Stevens has done a good job of changing his offensive scheme to have Isaiah Thomas start up higher on the pick and roll so Robin Lopez is forced to come higher and basically make him unplayable the last two games. The Pacers lost at least two games because Nate McMillian refuses to put shooters in an offense-only possession with Monta Ellise and Lance Stephenson standing in the corners. Coaching has never been more important in the playoffs when it's all about exploiting weaknesses in opposing rosters.

coaching definitely matters in the playoffs where you have to face the same team up to 7 times and have to figure out how to counter things they do well and how to react to counters that they do to you.

AggressivelyStupid posted:He's disturbingly good at those. Got a funny looking shooting motion too, yesterday his free throws looked like he barely even moved his arm hah it's really cool. I've seen him in some interviews talkin' about how shot coaching is about simplifying the form as much as possible, clearing away distractions. The curl breaks defenses just by being an option, and there's nobody who can take advantage of it better than LeBron. I want a Zach Lowe clipshow like one of these highlight vids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz0XHQ6Atr4 but where the Kyle Korver Kurl (uh oh) a the distraction or a bluff instead of the main action

Stephenson had a pretty good game 4, although considering he was 100% open 90% of the time it could have been better. Him wide open begging for the ball while George tried to dribble out of double teams was kinda funny/sad tho

Also quick reminder Kerr thought starting Festus Ezili and playing him significant minutes in game 7 was a good idea He gets a ton of credit for lineup choices they made in 2015 finals that honestly weren't that big of a deal. It was the Warriors vs an exhausted LeBron at that point All Brown has to do is not do anything aggressively stupid and hope Curry & Thompson don't go cold again I'm super interested to see if McGee gets significant minutes in g4. He's feasting against a small Portland roster and the dude opens up the offense

Point 3 of the ringer article today was correct, the whole thing was correct. https://theringer.com/2017-nba-playoffs-indiana-pacers-exit-survey-paul-george-66a2bcfa7d79

I don't think Kerr will be frozen and stuck in the ground or anything. He'll still be involved with the team and there to help come up with strategies. When Walton took over last year, Kerr would talk with the coaches daily.

When Walton took over last year, Kerr would talk with the coaches daily. Actually, last I read, Kerr's at a point where he's isolated from the team because he doesn't want to just periodically be with the team. He's all or nothing, and right now his symptoms are keeping him with the doctors.

Back surgery is such a bad deal, if rich as gently caress Steve Kerr can't get treatment that doesn't result in debilitating and permanent migraines, what hope have the rest of us.

Just gotta hope you're statically part of the like 98% of the people who don't get any severe life threatening complications from surgery. Surgeries are scary stuff, even with a normal non risky surgery there's still like a 0.01% chance things can go so wrong that you die on the spot

My dad broke his back on an unlucky fall (100% of the force of the landing on a perpendicular line with the corner of some stone stairs) and never got surgery for it because of that. Doctors just didn't want to do it because the odds of it actually fixing anything didn't outweigh the odds of something bad happening in the surgery (like loving up his spinal cord, for instance).

I know about a few types of surgery but not about back so I was referring more to general stuff. This may seem obvious to anyone and will go duhhhh when they hear it but straight from the source brain/neck surgeries have a pretty high rate of fatality! Very scary stuff, let's hope Trump gets us all swiftly killed before we have to present to ourselves and our family a choice of short life span or possibly even shorter or temporary lengthen lifespan.

The television show Lost offers much information on back surgery. It's an old show tho, don't know if it translates to the modern NBA.

Well my future father-in-law had back surgery about 6 months ago, and he's spent pretty much the whole time on extreme antibiotics because of a MRSA infection, so that's fun. Also didn't do much for his back pain, but I think it's gotten better now that his infection is finally under control.

I think the Warriors will be fine with Brown at the helm especially if Durant plays. Plus it's not like Kerr is barred from contacting the team, so he can phone in some ideas between games if he watches them at home. Although it is fun to imagine them deteriorating into nothing but Steph 30-footers, that team is too talented and too deep into the season to collapse that much.

My friend had back surgery and it went wrong, and now he has to wear morphene patches all day, needs a cane to get around, and can no longer work. It's been 8 years now, and it has gotten better. He lost 60 pounds and looks like a walking skeleton. Medical science has made great advancements, but the spinal column is still beyond our ken.
