i hate to admit this but he does; James Wiseman does need to play until he fouls out every night.

and I HOPE that is what you meant when you said Curry out of the lineup will benefit the Warriors.
cutting Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Payton II was such a gamble, borne out of salary cap necessity, Wiseman needs to be ready to play real Finals minutes in the stead of Kevon Looney (whom I love). but he ain't ready yet that's for sure.

I also hope they do NOT trade Wiseman because the Warriors need centers that can know, in their heart, Stephen Curry will make them a rich man.

i'd love the Spurs to take a shot at wiseman, I think they'd be a good partner in a Warriors desperation trade
i also love that brett brown just went back to being assistant coach

A certain big fat "guard" on the Nuggets had 40 points, 27 rebounds, and 10 assists today. They are 19-11... maybe he deserves MVP consideration??? :O

Checked in on the West vs. East record... all of the "East>West" people in here got on the East bandwagon WAY too early. East is 75-89 against the West now this year. .457 winning percentage. The East has a record somewhere in between the Raptors and the Pacers against the West.

if Denver got a center and two or three two way wings they would be pretty good even with jokic

so I mean it’s not technically hopeless

like put jokic on Milwaukee and take out Grayson Allen. Milwaukee would be just as good. maybe a little worse

jokic was +21 in 40 minutes. he shot that many free throws because they intentionally fouled him at the end

jokic is way more destructive to a franchise . you could build a good team with DLo on it (look at golden state a few years ago with Curry)

you cant build a good team around jokic if he keeps insisting that the team have no centers playing with him on the court

I don’t think you all realize how dire this is



he’s worse than teams that are tanking !! he’s worse then teams that are literally bad on purpose !! it should be the story of the nba but I understand nba media is not serious

he’s aging rapidly at 27 years old

his career arc is out of the league by 30 ( he’s already close) if he insists on playing center (or whatever it is that he’s doing now)

those arent fantasy stats. no fantasy league in the world or box score in the world has season drating in it


that is the most important stat for a starting center however. it is basically his stat. if it is bad, he is bad. period. full stop.

no. the ability to stop buckets is harder and rarer (league is designed for people to score). stopping one bucket is 2 to 3 times more valuable than scoring one bucket in terms of making a Good Team . it is therefor the most important thing.

for centers it’s even more lopsided. stopping buckets is 90% of what a center is supposed to do. the way the game is designed, a center has incredible influence on defense and what the other teams does on offense. a center that does not stop buckets is not a center and not valuable. it’s just how the game works ok. it’s not even a controversial take. before the league decided to invested marketing equity into jokic no one thought players like him were good. they still don’t as long as his name isn’t jokic. why doesn’t Sabonis get mvp talk ? he’s the same player as jokics.

if scoring was in any way hard in 2022 nba then yes maybe you’d have a point.

This is where the Warriors are failing with Wiseman because they are trying to turn him into a scorer rather than focusing on rim defense and some offensive screening or distraction.
You don't need him to score, use him for what you need him to be which is a big nightmare in the paint for the other teams offense.
