Portland getting dem calls

We are sucking hard.
Have to be a massive chance of missing the playoffs right now. At least the last time the Spurs missed the playoffs they drafted Timmy. Maybe get lucky again.

You'll be fighting teh tank war with houston

 

[stewie griffen]

Not making excuses for his performance i agree with you but his spacing and movement off the ball has to contribute to something.
And 2 TO's isn't that bad.

In his last 7 games, Andrew Wiggins has 57 points on 85 field goal attempts

Trae Curry notes your numbers and declares he has 59 points from 88 field goal attempts in the last 7 games.

Trae probably has more assists in his past 7 games than Wiggins does his entire career.

Kidd Vicious happy with sexy devin harris play today?

I'd already climaxed with Luka's 1st half.

Devin's play made me feel weird.

Absolute robbery by Philly getting him at 3 in hindsight.

He was probably going #1 before he got injured that year. Might have been an interesting hypothetical to see if LeBron would've tolerated the Cavs taking him.

The guy has completely changed his offensive game over the past few years, and not necessarily for the better. He needs to use his athleticism and attack the rim more, instead of just being a catch-and-shoot guy.

Really feel like it flies under the radar how little he has really improved as a player since entering the league, and how far short he is falling short of his potential.

 

[Damon_3388]

Pretty disgusting

That's like saying "You can't have female bosses", or any females around a workplace at all, for the same reason.

The idea doesn't reflect poorly on the female, either, just the male expressing it, and those who supposedly wouldn't be able to control themselves. There shouldn't be a ceiling in place because some males might theoretically be sex-crazed lunatics.

Completely ridiculous and disgusting.

How about saying,
We'd love to have someone who is a leader, who has played at the highest level, who sees the game from a different perspective.

Nick Nurse has never played at the high level
Mike Budenholzer played 1 season in Denmark

They bring other things to the table.
I bet Becky would as well.

I've got my suspects about who might have said it, but you never know.

 

[Damon_3388]

By the way, Nikola Vukovic is putting up career-best numbers in every category (averages, percentages, and per-minute). Is he really this good? Is it just a hot start that will cool off as the season goes on (particularly efficiency wise)? Or is playing harder for a final fat contract (28 years old, out of contract at the end of the year)?

Also, I've always wondered, why doesn't he play more minutes? Averaging 30.77 minutes per game this year, and 29.86 per game for his career. He's never really been foul-prone, and I know he's had his injuries, but is he generally just a bit unfit? Or is it to hide his defensive shortcomings?

Yeah, exactly. If they show the ability to coach, their gender shouldn't matter.

The best players aren't necessarily the best teachers, but the fact that Hammon is a multi-time WNBA All-Star and Olympian, and has a connection to how the game is played in both the US and Europe, is a bonus.

Hammon is already an assistant coach with the Spurs, and has been for nearly 5 years, apparently without incident. Why will the players' attitudes and level of respect suddenly change for the worse if she becomes a head coach, either in San Antonio or elsewhere?

That Jabari is so high and Marcus Smart is low is quite surprising for me.
Guess it shows that whilst defence is important offense is more important to winning.

 

[Damon_3388]

Frank Ntilikina improving on his 0/0/0/0/0 in 15 minutes yesterday with a 0/0/2/0/0 in 14 minutes.

Dat Knicks development!

There is reportedly 'NBA-wide' trade interest in Knicks' Frank Ntilikina

Lavine is surprisingly low. Probably already been said but really shit draft

Didn’t someone tell me off last year for having the opinion that Dennis Smith would be better

 

[Damon_3388]

That Jabari is so high and Marcus Smart is low is quite surprising for me.

I think as well, while Smart's defence is great, the little offense he does provide is quite inefficient (career .361 FG%, .295 3PT% on 4.1 3PA per game), which hurts a lot in these measurements. If Smart or his coaches could recognise his own limitations on offense, and take less shots and less outside shots overall, that would help him a lot.

Parker has been reasonably good over time on pretty normal efficiency. He's not a good defender, and is really a 3 man in a 4's body, but the main knock on him would be the injuries, and that he's never really gone up to that superstar level (after averaging 20, 6 and 3 in his third season) because of them.

Everyone loves a good tank commander.
