They really need Melo to play the 4 and stay there. Not worried about the fit otherwise because CP3 is probably the one PG that Melo won't argue with.

slave to my cravings: Mar 1, 2007; Got my mind on doritos and doritos on my mind.

Tatum and Ojeleye have had pretty good nights for Boston. Brown has looked pretty bad. Kuzma has looked good for LA. Lonzo seems to be able to get some good assists off of some bad defensive lapses by Boston -- not sure how this would translate against better talent.

To put it another way, does anyone here think a bad or average 3P team can win a title going forward? I'm skeptical. OTOH, I could see a long line of mediocre rebounding teams winning the title.

Using 3PM as the measurement then SAS was an average team last year and I am not skeptical of their ability to win a chip (even if they are an underdog). If you say 3P% is the way you should measure it, then you are saying Houston is an average 3-point team and I would say you are mistaken.

Diva Cupcake posted:

I think Melo is a net better player than Anderson (depending on situation) but I'd rather have Anderson and his contract if I am trying to rebuild. Trying to develop talent when you have a 30% usage guy ISOing his way around the court is not ideal.

I thought CJ Miles would work well with the Twolves, Crawford is a surprising pickup. Wolves just need guys off the bench who can do anything.

Fun Fact: I went to look at the Wolves summer league to see who I can get excited about and realized there is no one there that I really care about. It's been a LOOOONNNGGGGG time since the Wolves didn't have at least 1 exciting guy playing in Summer League.

I'm sure he's judging by net 3p which at the results level is correct imo

I have to get up at 5am tomorrow to catch a plane with my 6 year old daughter. I mention this because I just checked that this laptop does have excel and the math for net points is easy. I think it would just end up mostly the same as 3PM, because the split in shooting % is much smaller than the splits in attempts.

Seriously, 9 teams were under 2000 3PA and Houston shot 3300. I was joking the other day about Houston one day catching fire and hitting 40 3s in a game but it really doesn't seem that far off.

I think its because it was directed at rookie player coming in. I can see why they'd say that crosses a line. Don't poo poo all over the product, that kind of thing.

Oh, he did! My brain totally read it as Lonzo. Well still. I think it has more to do with running your mouth against a players dad than the language he used. I'm sure the NBA would prefer no one talk to Lavar Ball.

dejounte murray has been hot trash in just about every summer league game. the guy dribbles it up to his shoulders and losses the ball on drives frequently, that is, when he's not just getting it stolen outright

the spurs' plan of throwing murray into the fire might turn into a complete disaster

on the other hand, bryn forbes looks amazing out there so maybe not all is lost, or maybe summer league isn't always the best indicator of success
