Lockback posted:They are a worse defensive team, which is also not a surprise. They replaced Jrue (a ++ defender at guard, and one of the rare PGs who moves the needle since he can guard most players on the floor) and Ted Cruz who was a pretty solid defender for Dame (Real Bad) and Malik Beasley (secretly maybe worse than Dame considering he is expected to defend better players typically). Brook Lopez is also not the same guy he was last year at this end at all. When did Ted Cruz become a hooper

You may want to mute but it’s always a amusing to watch someone scream about Doc being horrible and Dame being horrible on defense https://youtu.be/AdQF4mdY1Is?si=rHSBrRCkY3vVyGft

It would be kinda funny if Orlando/Philly was a 2/7 because if you told someone at the beginning of the season that they’d say “oh that makes sense” until you tell them which team is the 2 and which is the 7

Lockback posted:The bucks are objectively a much better offensive team this year, this isn't a surprise as that is what Dame brings even if he is having a down year. If nothing else, the gravity and attention Dame generates is going to make the Bucks better at basketball. Counter argument: They won a title already with that core. And the team was at that point better than their title team by the numbers. It wasn’t like they went to the conference finals and got the door blown off of them by a superior offense, they got into playoffs and had a rash of injuries including to Giannis. Maybe you could make the argument they should have traded for someone less injury prone but they did the opposite.

It wasn’t like they went to the conference finals and got the door blown off of them by a superior offense, they got into playoffs and had a rash of injuries including to Giannis. Oh, I think "They should have held pat" is totally justified, but I think the team Adrian Griffin was running (this season) was very very flawed, even if it was a team that would have finished with more wins I think their defense would clamp a low ceiling on them. They absolutely should have just kept Bud, I think they'd be in a better spot and wouldn't be paying 3 coaches and one of those wouldn't be Doc Rivers. Keeping Jrue is super defensible (I mean, it's worked out great for Boston), but ultimately if Giannis said "I'll re-sign if you get Dame, I won't if you keep don't" means that's not even a thing worth considering.

I'm going to run the playin/playoff prediction thread again, quick couple asks: 1. Everyone good with the current format? Want more crazy questions that might skew winners or keep it more or less how it is? 2. If anyone has good ideas for bonus questions let me know. I'm kinda cycling the same bunch so interested in getting more ideas. Ideally questions should have multiple likely answers or have a good odds where they can be worth different points.

I’m gonna be in Minneapolis for the first week of the playoffs so i pulled the trigger on a ticket to Game 2 even though there’s a non-zero chance that they play Monday before I arrive So I’m cheering for them to be the 1 seed so they can’t play on the first Saturday. Also so I have a good chance of seeing LeBron, Steph or Keegan Murray.

Lockback posted:Keeping Jrue is super defensible (I mean, it's worked out great for Boston) Jrue's working out great for Boston because he doesn't need to be an offensive contributor given the weapons the Celtics already have. With Middleton's injury issues, he was being asked last year to both guard the best perimeter guy on the opposing team and carry some of the offense. Not really his fault, but that's asking too much of him and that meant the Bucks were realistically capped in how far they could go with that lineup.

If you need to unload that ticket hit me up. I'm looking at Game 1 but would take a decent deal on Game 2 tickets.

nikosoft posted:Basically, yes, and that's not fair to Sasha that he is expected to save the season because every one other than Sabonis is wildly inconsistent from game to game, and Mike Brown thinks the solution to this is The Chris Duarte Experience. I was actually kidding about Sasha being the reason, but you are totally right about the turnovers he is forcing. He looks so lost out there and the fact that he has not gotten any more in tempo with the NBA is really odd. It looks like he has never practiced with the team or something and is just playing a pick up game.
