Dexo posted:Still think it's bullshit Hinkie got shitcanned right before his plan was going to start to pay off. It was and his strategy was perfectly legitimate. Philly has a much better chance of being a top-4 seed in the next few years than bad teams who chased mediocre trade and free agency targets and are still just bad, like Sacramento or Phoenix.

Fans know when their team is trash, whether they waste a bunch of resources on expensive non impact players or not.

alansmithee posted:Ehh, it's not quite that much of a slam dunk, especially compared to Magic who had some ridiculous seasons. It very much is a slam dunk? It's not close, none of Magic's or Bird's seasons have even approached Curry's, unless you strongly believe in those guys having an unquantifiable defensive presence that narrows the gap. Which is an insane thing to believe.

WhyteRyce posted:I feel like "top 5" or "top 10" center in the NBA is a label that is tossed around without anyone attempting to count. Kind of like how people throw out "one of the best passing big men" label without attempting to compare to anyone else. Also only trotted out when someone wants to eliminate all of the 7' power forwards who definitely should not be compared to 7' centers.

PurpleJesus posted:Austin Carr is the goddamn best and I won't hear a negative word against him. Also, now that I'm caught up on the thread, I will try to lurk less. It's okay to acknowledge terrible work even when it's associated with our own team or players we once idolized. For example, speaking as someone who was going to Blazers' playoff games in the early 90s and whose own dog is named Clyde, I can still recognize that Clyde Drexler is a horrendously bad announcer, almost on par with how bad Austin Carr is.

Lockback posted:A guy like Klay will be hurt because his game will be off rhythm, and he's going to be playing in places on the floor he is not used to. I predicted we'd see Klay take the stat hit this offseason and its been a good start to see that come true. Predicting that the stats of the 2nd-best player on your team will suffer a bit when he becomes the 3rd-best player on your team isn't some amazing or novel prediction. Klay has been pressing badly which has lead to missing wide open shots, but that's a coaching issue, not some sort of mismatch of skills or him having to move to different spots on the floor than he was before. He's also always been a streaky shooter.

Declan MacManus posted:Also as fun as the shook jokes are Durant is far and away the best player on the Warriors right now I thought the shook stuff was all dumb and annoying until the season started, because Steph actually looks shook. KD looks like a cold blooded veteran though, he's been as amazing as ever this season. Also I can't believe Portland just won games in Dallas and Memphis on the same trip. I know those teams aren't what they used to be, but I can't remember the last time that happened.

Lillard has been finishing MUCH better at the rim this year than any previous year. Here's a graphic. Early of course, but it's still been really nice to see. 2015-16  2016-17  He's also currently 3rd in the league in free throw attempts and makes. He's playing his mind out (on offense at least!). It's fun to watch.

He has yes, it's probably safe to assume at this point that Bogut is a complete and utter rear end in a top hat. quote:"The public's image of NBA players is true," he says. "A lot of them get caught up in the hype and do video clips with rappers and all that crap. They want bling bling all over themselves and drive fast cars. But that's just the way the culture is in America — if you've got it flaunt it and if you don't, you can't." Hmm I wonder why your teammates aren't really interested in letting you into their inner circle, Andrew?

Spite posted:From the Blazers games I've watched it looks like they are good (on offense) when Aminu is hitting 3's. I don't know how they fix their defense though. It's more about just getting any reliable 3rd contributor. They know they're going to get 40-50 points each night from Lillard and McCollum, but after that ????. Harkless has shown flashes, Aminu and Turner and Crabbe all have their nights, but they don't have anyone to pick up the slack if either of their main guards are struggling. Ezeli should improve their defense when he gets back since they currently have basically zero rim protection. But it's never gonna be good.
