i'm surprised it hasn't improved at all. i mean i guess there are always 4chan type idiots and no company has shown any ability to moderate any online community. but id think the general trend would be towards less of that following society in general.

Thanks for the cool positive post Rick. And yeah foochs buddy we got to get you a better life starting this weekend so you can enjoy the round ball in hoop game with ironic detachment.

This team took a bit of a step back this year, it was cool to see them rally towards the end of the season and I was not expecting them to beat the Jazz as handily as they did, think luck played a role there.

Trading Capela would be pretty crazy at this point. I don't think two bad playoffs is quite enough to trade a 24 year old on a good salary although that big wet fart he laid this series is particularly bad. That said it's hard to see who else could be the centerpiece of a big trade for them, so it might happen.

It would be nice to see them address the kind of play that caused them to lose to lineups with Shaun Livingston and Quin Cook and poo poo. Jimmy isoball works well for them generally but I would like to see them add some real motion sets. In particular I think that Crisp Paul contract is bad but it's not going to be like, John Wall bad unless he gets terribly injured (quite possible) or they keep having him play like James Harden when Harden sits. If we could actually generate some open shots and passing lanes for him I think he could still be a good contributor. He was beastly last night for a 34 year old not named LeBron.

Hard to see a path to improvement this offseason but then they were total trash to the start of the season and ended up being a homecourt team so we'll see. I'm actually not in FIRE/TRADE anyone mode right now although I am concerned the new owner is a cheap gently caress.

In summation, we would have won this series if we had kept Zhou Qi

Welcome to the Denver Nuggets. An impressive leap forward for a team so young. You hate to say “well they will get it in the future” because you can never predict what will happen but throw certainly are set up for the years to come.

that was a hell of good season. to go from missing the playoffs to one game from WCF. probably the most fun likable WC team too

Someone more objective tell me how excited I should be about Michael Porter Jr’s rookie year. Are there recent cases of draft picks missing their first seasons when they weren’t first overall picks? Am I crazy for thinking he has a good shot at first team rookie (because let’s be honest Zion is practically a lock for RoY)?

The Rockets fired Bzdelik, the assistant coach supposedly responsible for defense. I'm pretty surprised. Of course it's impossible for us to quantify an asst coaches impact from the outside but the fact that the Rockets started out trash poo poo garbage and then ended up putting together an alright defense after he came back seems like a fairly strong signal. Capela turning into a pumpkin is probably the big reason they couldnt keep it together in the playoffs

Also phone posting is insane how do you people do this

They FIRED the guy who retired, and then returned mid season when they begged him?

I dunno if they begged him or he decided retirement wasn't for him and wanted his spot back. Either way I guess it wasn't working. I know Harden made some cryptic dramatic statements after their elimination, maybe he hated ol Jefferino or something, we'll probably never know
