the nets remind me of the clippers. but maybe they get their squad together for a whole year and they just look like a mess. who knows.

if you trust 538's advanced stats, and i think all of us here do, then the celtics have 3 players better than kevin durant and 6 players better than kyrie (the nets 2nd best player)

you can’t argue with math  your not going to win a championship when your best player is just the 12th best player in the eastern conference, lol fart simpson fucked around with this message at 09:26 on May 27, 2022 |

I'm not sure I believe Trae Young is twice as bad a defender as James Harden is, and I definitely don't believe Kevin Durant is just neutral okay on defense. Derrick White yeah whatever euphronius posted:thank you Nate silver.

Williamson is a rebounding monster from what I remember so their defense should improve as well. But I'm also expecting the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Clippers and Lakers to all get better, and of the competitive West teams I'm expecting that only the Jazz are going to break apart and sell so I.D.K.

I mean the warriors played a young Memphis team with morant hurt and gassed and then a one man team in Dallas where the one man is a one way ball hog that is easy to defend with simple disciplined defense Jesus Christ lol just disgraceful for the nba that the west was so bad

with Tatum though toh have to give Danny credit for realizing that nba refs cannot correct make calls when the player is about 6’6” like Tatum . they don’t see their fouls it’s a mystery . so Danny (in hindsight ) correctly concluded that he’d make an entire team of 6’6 guys and then the refs would be so befuddled that the Celtics could move through the playoffs easily Miami also is using this strategy too as have the warriors .

Dave Silvers dream nba is 20 years from not the 6,6” children of Tatum, jimmy Butelr and Draymond green play all 10 positions (two teams ) in a 200-199 game where there are no fouls. the Refs can’t even see anyone they just see a ball moving in space edit Adam silver euphronius fucked around with this message at 16:31 on May 27, 2022 |
