  1. Yeah, they have a stacked team but literally all they do is shoot the 3. If they are hitting they are unbeatable. When they start missing they have no plan B. Just keep chucking. Its maddening to watch.
  2. I cant even imagine how maddening it is if someone is a C's fan. Their "offense" has been driving me CRAZY as a basketball fan. Just HORRIBLE possession after horrible possession.
  3. I could definitely see the numbers getting so big that max is like 60 and 2-3 max level guys getting together and saying let's take 40/ea and play together. Especially with how big the offcourt numbers are getting its more likely. There is really no way to legislate superteams away. They've always existed and they will always exist.
  4. Yep, the goal is to not have teams like the Warriors have 3-4 max guys and ultimately get them spread over more teams. There will always be shitty teams desperate to get a star that will overpay a Wiggins or the like. Thing is team like the Warriors, Nets, Lakers, etc bail those shitty teams out all the time. Like GSW did did for Wiggins. Under the new rules MIN wouldn't be able to find someone to take him off their hands and they would be stuck until his deal ends. Every time they try to put in measures to protect the small market teams the owners end up fucking themselves. Happened with the supermax provision. I suspect it will be the same with this.
  5. Mark Davis has been going all out for the Aces. Was chartering planes for them last yr pissing the other owners off. Made Becky Hammon the highest paid coach in the league. Added Candace Parker to an already stacked team and now this.....
  6. That $25 for the pass is definitely tempting. I love the W and this yr with Vegas and NY set up with superteams and some of the other under the radar teams/stars it could be another great season. The playoffs last yr were incredible!
  7. That was EPIC!!!!! Although having Simmons there consigning the things he was saying is wack as fuck given how much he vouched for the process and basically sucked Hinkie and Morey off over the yrs.
  8. And no pressure to actually win.
  9. For sure. The only reason Bud lasted these last 2 seasons was because they won
  10. He couldnt rebound in the first half cause he was contesting shots and no one else was there to get the boards as the Lakers were small with the 3 guards in. Not a coincidence that Jokic had 12 boards in the first quarter or that AD rebounded much better in the 2nd half when his primary responsibility wasnt guarding Jokic.
  11. I get what you are saying but DEN played an otherworldly game too. They cant shoot like that and have a historic game from Jokic every night out either.
  12. Might as well get the whole band back together. Mike D to Philly It was always the goal IMO when they hired Morey. Get Harden and MD and basically have Rockets east with Embiid. They have PJ and House from HOU too.
  13. Yes, they were the #1 seed and lost in the first round. He was one of the first MVPs I remember ever seeing not get the trophy before a game.
  14. Giannis cant escape blame though. Big numbers but really wanted no part of the ball down the stretch knowing he was struggling from the line. Had a few "hot potato" moments. One where he almost threw the ball out of bounds trying to get rid of it quickly.
  15. Up 16 to start the 4th. After losing being up 11 going into the 4th in the previous game.
  16. Hard to fire a coach a couple yrs removed from your first title in 50 yrs but yeah its time. I had major issues with him for yrs but gave him a pass after the title. These last two games brought all the questions back. He made HORRIBLE decisions that entire series but the ones down the stretch of these last two games!?!?! They should get him shown the door.
  17. Not 5 full games though
  18. There's a reason they didnt get any FTs
  19. Its already done. They dont renegotiate for 5-6 more yrs Further:
