If the Sonics actually come back, Seattle fans better sell out the building for a decade.

Athanatos posted:A reminder this sad loving sack is still around: Is this the guy that used to go to nationally televised games in Sonics gear with big signs? Lockback posted:It's sorta complicated: I'd assume OKC would just let them have the Sonics history and no longer recognize it for their own team. Nobody there should care about what Payton, Kemp, etc did. The only numbers I think they'd want intact at this point are Nick Collison, I can't imagine he holds many if any SEA/OKC franchise records.

Devin Harris still has a hurt toe. (The same toe that had experimental surgery.) I wouldn't be shocked if this is the beginning of the end for him. Seth Curry is going to have a bigger than expected role while Harris is out.

I can't find anything on the health of Bogut or Mejri. Last night, it looked like Bogut messed up his right wrist. He only played a couple minutes after that and didn't use his right hand at all. It must have really been bothering him to not play in most of the second half or any of OT. Mejri had knee surgery in the offseason and briefly appeared in a preseason game. The Mavs might be missing the only two real centers on their roster for an undetermined amount of time. edit: in other news https://twitter.com/NBAOfficial/status/791385798994190338 Spacebump fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Oct 27, 2016 |

ElPedro posted:How'd Harrison Barnes do? Looking at the box score he seemed to do well enough. If the Mavs had paid Parsons instead of Barnes, they would have been blown out instead of losing in OT. Barnes had a good but not great game and his basket to send it to OT was sweet. I like how Parsons plays but it should be troubling that he is on a max deal and went from could be back in round 2 of the playoffs to missing opening night months later.

Dejan Bimble posted:That's a weak objection, it's like saying, Lebron gets away with changing his pivot foot and offensive fouling, and your response is, don't most superstars?

This is a good question for the thread: Who do you think is the best defensive big of the last 10 years who didn't set blatantly illegal screens No worries, I'm still in salty mode after realizing the Mavs' only two (real) centers with NBA experience might be injured.

Dejan Bimble posted:The upside is that you probably weren't getting the 8th seed and its a great draft. Plus you get to see what Salah Mejri can really do, we know what Powell can do, be a pf who plays like a center. There are two bigs in the later lottery that I can see Carlisle molding into something I'm still convinced this Mavs team has the potential to be a good defensive team that could be anywhere from a 4-8 seed*. The problem (assuming they have healthy centers, which if they don't will be a bigger problem) will be offense. If players regularly have nights like Matthews did last night, they are in for some frustrating games. That is a good point about the quality of the draft. Let's hope Cuban doesn't meddle with the draft. Another situation where Donnie wants to draft a player like Giannis and Cuban trades to a worse spot to save money for a big free agent that doesn't come would be brutal. *Depending on injuries in the West. If the following teams are healthy most of the season I expect them to be top 4: Warriors, Clippers, Spurs, Grizzlies

I would have been ok with Butler or MCW but Wade and Rondo also? Turns out Hoiberg's offense is amazing after all. Good thing he doesn't have to worry about running into Playoff Wittman.

Panzeh posted:Just a reminder that Westbrook blew a 3-1 lead in the WCF by dribbling the ball off his foot at the end of game 7. Why would you want to play with someone so shook? The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals with more all NBA players on the roster, the only unanimous MVP in NBA history, and would have been considered the BEST TEAM OF ALL TIME if they didn't choke in games 5, 6, or 7. (Or if they didn't choke 7 different times in the last minute of game 7) They are significantly more shook. I would rather play with Westbrook because he is guaranteed to be less shook(if at all) than the Warriors. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Oct 29, 2016 |

Hashtag Banterzone posted:Yeah Brolic should know better than to say things like "Modern" tanglewood1420 posted:I think in years down the line Lebron going to Miami will be seen as the start of new era basketball. The Celtics and Lakers champions 2008-10 feel closer in spirit to the 90s blueprint than they do to basketball in 2016*. LeBron's Miami team and the Spurs around the same time kickstarted the trend to a motion based, 4 out offense paired with high intensity defence and switching that dominates league thinking now. Of course the Suns were playing that way on offense in like 2005, but I feel it was that 11/12 Miami team that truly mainstreamed it and started people copying it rather than just writing off the Nash Suns as an anomaly you couldn't replicate. I'd say the current era was at least indirectly started by the D'Antoni Suns teams. The era immediately before this one was shorter and maybe started when the hand checking rules changed.

Declan MacManus posted:I always forget how good he is at passing, why doesn't anyone talk about it like they did Kevin Love's ~*~*~*outlet passes~*~*~*~*~ Half the reason Kevin Love's outlet passing became a running joke here is that was listed as a reason why he was drafted. (and that reason made Gendo very angry.) The other half is they are sweet outlet passes. We probably don't talk about Griffin's passing as much because he basically didn't play last season. due to beating up a trainer and then causing that guy to lose his dream job

Dirk was too sick to go to DWill's Halloween party. I'd post the team pic but am lazy and phone posting. Bashez, it's too early to declare the Mavs as bad. They've played 3 games, 2 without Dirk. One game (with Dirk) went to OT and another they lost by a basket (which shouldn't have happened because Harden offensively fouled Matthews on the start of the possession to move him out of possession.) They will look better when Harris and Dirk are both back. They also have one of the hardest schedules to start the season. Wait and see where they are when they hit 20 wins.
