Voltes V: "Laser swooooooooord!"

Rick posted:

I dunno it's hard to get precise splits as a fan but from what we can see the Russ/PG/Kawhi Clippers were a pretty terrific offensive team. Paul George and Kawhi create a ton of gravity just by being on the floor. Which makes life easy for a guy who wants to drive to the rim or a guy who wants to post up.

Let me put on my nba podcaster hat real quick: If you brought Harden to run PNR with Kawhi and PG and take catch and shoot 3s, he starts. If you brought him for coverage when Kawhi sits and you want him to do Hardenball iso bullshit like its 2017 again, he comes off the bench.

I don't think he has it in him to be that iso ball guy anymore.

Also i think he sucks and is a turd and looks like a clown

Hornets had a pretty decent chance at stealing a schedule win from Miami tonight but 30+ minutes from JT Thor and Theo Maledon probably not doing it

Michael Malone Agrees To Extension With Nuggets

maruhkati posted:

The 10-win Process Sixers team had an O-rating of 98.8. The Bulls the year after Jordan left were 92.4. The lowest rating of all time belongs to the 02-03 Denver Nuggets at 92.2.

I am loving VIBRATING right now.

An ORtg of 87 is a tribute to the NBA of 1952.

Squinky v2.0 posted:

From Windhorst and the Tims podcast - the clippers starters have an offensive rating of 87 since the harden trade

I knew it was bad but that’s much worse than I would have guessed. On any given night, one of them will shoot 25% overall on high volume.

This Clippers team is probably too old. If you could shave off ~30 years of NBA games from Harden, RW, PG-13 and Kawhi they'd be a super team.

N/V:

-The 76ers are a surprise so far. They were the favorites to have the largest loss swing this season but are 8-1 and Tyrese Maxey is #2 in WS and WS/48 trailing only Jokic. Harden theory is the new Ewing theory.

-LBJ becomes the first player in NBA/ABA history to reach 5,000 regular season turnovers. And is also one of the best scorers of this young season despite being nearly 39.

-The Timberwolves under Rudolph Gobert are dominating. 2024 is the new 2023.

-The Bulls might be 2-9 if they didn't have Caruso. Imagine no DeRozan/Caruso. LaVine scoring 50 a night and zero wins.

-RW III may be turning into one of the bigger NBA what-ifs.

-If the Bucks don't improve soon they look like they'll be in big trouble.

The Nets have actually been interesting to watch. They really need a certified bucket-getter but the team is deep if a little dull. Simmons looks like he's dealing with ongoing injuries but is okay as a smaller-ball center. I hope they make the play-in.

I don't think even the most delusional among us thought Lively and Williams meant the Mavs were now too good to get periodically humiliated while J-Kidd stands there looking confused

It is remarkable how quickly Draymond processes that he has an opening to put Gobert in a headlock and acts on it

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I think Rudy Gobert is the defensive player of the year because he shut the whole Draymond down.
