LarksTongues posted:Lurker checking in for the first time, I've been following this thread for years. As a wizards fan is there any silver lining this year? Obviously Durant wasnt going to happen, but we are counting on beal to stay healthy for a whole year, our bench is atrocious, and I still cant believe we panic traded a 1st last year for Morris. Oh and Scotty Brooks... Scotty is a good coach don't let others say otherwise

Lockback posted:So I guess what is your explanation as to why he consistently rebounds near the top of his position? Luck, there are rebounds other players don't care about? I can see pointing to those stats over a short amount of time to say someone is just having the ball bounce his way, but at some point it stops becoming luck. Durant gets a lot of rebound because he's good at chasing down free balls. When it comes to boxing out and fighting for the ball he's not good

Westbrook rebound numbers were inflated because the bigs would allow Russ to take rebounds as a design play

My takeaway from the game is dipo looked nervous and needs to pass the ball. Also Russ might actually raise his rebound average to double digits

DeimosRising posted:I doubt it. He just doesn't have that mental gear where "the game slows down for him", as they say. He can't keep up with his own physical ability because he lacks a feel for the game, and I know all that sounds like vague bullshit but I'm being very specific - an important part of "basketball iq" is not just being able to make the right decision analytically, but having your first instinct BE the right decision. It's not really a teachable skill because it's not conscious or applicable in situations where you have time to think. Dipo is a smart guy with great physical tools, but he's not a natural basketball player and it makes him very erratic. Ah so he's like Serge.

DeimosRising posted:On offense yes, but Dipo is like that on defense too while Ibaka seems to have good instincts on that end. Yeah I'm specifically talking offense. Dipo will be fine once he gets acclimated with the system despite what y'all are saying I BELIEVE

I think tanking is a legitimate and good strategy; I like hinkie but I think he took it to an extreme that wasn't good. You need some vets to help get the young player adjusted to the NBA lifestyle.
