  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. This guy.......
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Dirk prolly.
  7. 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.
  8. Up 16 to start the 4th. After losing being up 11 going into the 4th in the previous game.
  9. 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.
  10. Not 5 full games though
  11. There's a reason they didnt get any FTs
  12. Its already done. They dont renegotiate for 5-6 more yrs Further:
  13. Oh man, I have no clue. Dude was nuts though.
  14. When has he been refusing to play. Jacque Vaughan said he was out of the rotation last week.
  15. Same. Its such a cynical way to look at it now but its been proven to warrant that now. All canned responses.
  16. That's making the assumption that its players' decisions to sit. It isn't in the vast majority of cases. Most of the time its the training staff under orders from management/owners. Its just a nice thing for the owners to make it look like its "those bad, lazy, entitled players that just dont want to play" so fans can side with them when the CBA comes up.
  17. I'm more curious why the fuck she is going to Finish Line in the first place. Makes no damn sense with her son as one of the new faces of Nike.
  18. Yeah the hype about this kid is overdone. Taking established superstars, even aging ones, from a team that is built for a deep run all for the hope that he lives up to the hype and manages to stay healthy would be a tough sell for me. That doesnt even take into account the non-basketball related stuff like you mention. If GSW dumps Steph for a rookie the long term blowback on the franchise would be enormous!!
  19. Exactly why I said "in most cases" His case is an outlier, though the Clips knew this going in and still agreed to sign him.
  20. Load management, in most cases, is not player driven. Teams want fans to think that so they can side with management when the next work stoppage comes about. Just like the whole concept of making player salaries public info.
  21. Meh, I'm not only about rings but that ASG was disgusting. I dont want playoff defense or hell even reg season defense but SOME defense is too much to ask???
