Ghost Dog posted:hes one of the most durable players of all time and has been playing meaningful minutes as a pf for a ton of years? why would he be more injury prone than any other bigman Extremely heavy minutes catching up to him. Minutes is more important than age. LBJ has played 35+ MPG in each of his first fourteen NBA seasons. Only Elvin Hayes, Oscar Robertson, and Wilt Chamberlain have done that before. Oscar and Wilt both retired after their fourteenth season and Elvin did 28 MPG in his fifteenth year. Also, LBJs playoff runs from 2011-2017 are unprecedented in NBA history. Kibner posted:Who would be the best 3v3 All-Center team? Cousins | Davis | Jokic(?)? Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert, Anthony Davis. Michael Corleone posted:The Cavs can't beat the Warriors in 5 on 5 or 3 on 3, but would they have a chance 4 on 3? Yes, especially if James Jones and Deron Williams are involved.

It's the only way to win in seven. -Curry has made 30+ straight FTs these playoffs but he's still far from the record of 56 straight by Bill Sharman in the 1959 playoffs. -LBJ is about to pass MJJ in another area.

Ws are averaging 12.7 3s per game in the post season so for a 185 lb dude over the course of a ~3 hour game would have a BAC of .243. So, blackout drunk but survivable.

DeimosRising posted:I think you're talking about something different than I am completely and frankly I don't know what it is. The next innovation after the current wave of increased screening and 3pt shooting is...more people will be good at 3pt shooting? They will be on the same team more often? I'm not talking about the current direction of the league, and I'll grant that my question was a bit silly because of course no one knows the answer, but this is just a non sequitur. You're talking about a brand new shiny paradigm to basketball and I'm talking more incrementally. Not merely "good" at 3P shooting. You must make a distinction in 3P shooting. There are many good 3P shooters in the league but imagine a LOT of players having the shooting ability of Durant/Curry all on the same team. There are many guys who can hang close to the line but there aren't many who can make 30-40+ foot shots look routine. Part of the innovation would be in players being trained in and unlocking (what is considered now to be) a preternatural shooting ability. It could be the baseline eventually. Just like Babe Ruth was the only guy in the MLB who could launch HRs into the stands. Now there are hundreds of guys in the MLB who can hit long HRs. tanglewood1420 posted:Kawhi is a better and more consistent shooter than Lebron... LBJ has extremely strong shooting numbers. Overall, he was superior to Kawhi this year even in his hibernation/cruise control mode. DeimosRising posted:Similarly with the Mike Brown thing, you're just misunderstanding what's happening. Mike Brown didn't create or install a system in GS. No one is "bowing down" to him let alone a hypothetical other coach of the same players. Hell, people are hesitant to crown Kerr a top coach because he's in a bit of a Doc Rivers situation where he has the most talent and his defense was heavily influenced by an assistant (who was a former assistant of the same guy who worked for Rivers, you've possibly heard of him). I'll pull a Zogo and declare myself right about an unproveable hypothetical: had Mike Brown been hired as head coach of the Warriors in May 2014 rather than Steve Kerr, they would currently have 0 rings, no Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry would never have been MVP. Guaranteed. The whole narrative on Mike Brown was that he was a stupid coach who would get outmatched and outwitted because he made stupid faces on the bench. When in reality the numbers throughout NBA/ABA history show that LBJ was just too young to be gunning for titles in his early 20s. It's not just Mike Brown though. There's tons of historical evidence showing that the great players easily adapt to new systems and thrive in them even with new coaches. Coaches and systems are subservient to the guys on the floor despite all the narratives. Some people would be bowing down to Hoiberg right now if he was GSW coach rather than leading a group of alpha malcontents in some nightmarish mixture of Lord of the Flies on the Island of Dr. Moreau. I'm hesitant to crown anyone as a top coach and more inclined to call them figureheads on average. Even Pop himself readily admits he would've been fired years ago if he didn't have Tim Duncan.

There are many guys who can hang close to the line but there aren't many who can make 30-40+ foot shots look routine. Yeah sure. We were just talking past each other. I was more trying to start a brainstorming session on where else the league can go. "Now, but moreso" isn't what I meant but I agree it'll probably happen that there will be more guys who can shoot from farther out. There don't seem to be any more guys who can shoot over .400 now than before though, so I'm not sure overall accuracy is going to improve.

When in reality the numbers throughout NBA/ABA history show that LBJ was just too young to be gunning for titles in his early 20s. I agree that players are far more important than coaches. You can't win (much) with a bad roster and you can't tank with great players. But role players, I think, get a lot out of being placed in the right position, and that's what makes the difference between contenders. I suspect that Brown would have continued to run the team much as Jackson had, giving more minutes and possessions to David Lee and not using Draymond Green as an offensive centerpiece, and I doubt he would have moved towards a PnR or motion based offense, he would likely have focused on more Curry, Klay, and Lee isos. Maybe he's developed a better mind for offense since the late 2000s, but I doubt it. I suspect they'd be a mid to upper 50 wins a year team, probably even a contender, but no 73 win season and no potential dynasty.

Anyone else think the Cavs should start Frye or Korver in place of TT? They really need to punish the first 6 minutes of mandatory Zaza starting, because I feel part of Lebron's fatigue is him using up his Invincible Layup move too many times in the 1st half just to get buckets.

They'd be giving up on playing defense/rebounding entirely if they did that. GSW is throwing two guys at TT when a shot goes up. If TT is out they'd throw 2 at Love and make Lebron outrebound them by himself.

Frye doesn't seem lost out there, he's just slow, unathletic, and weak. He's tall and he can shoot. He ain't dumb, he's just not an NBA caliber athlete - he's a walking proof that anyone 6'10" + who can hit a jumper will ALWAYS have a career in the league, and in fact be a net positive player even if they have no other skills at all.
