    We limited their possessions and made them average signficantly under their season scoring averages. Like I said, we held GS to under 100 multiple times which is one hell of a impressive feet for the most explosive offense of all time.

    Just saying the world hates Tilman! The sports world media hates Tilman. They are basically playing save James Harden.

    it wasn't quickly, we didn't go iso until the last half of Paul's first season with us. We have had quite a few different game plans..........play fast, play slow

    No.... 2016 was MDA first season and 2017 was the first CP3 year. It was pretty quickly.... CP3 can score in isolation too which accounts for the increase in his first season. Go check out 2018-2019. Hopefully we arent so ISO heavy to help out John Wall or relegate him to a spot up shooter sharing the court next to Harden.

    Unbelievable that Rockets had 2 in the top 10 for a split second.

    Steph is so dependent on Draymond, Kerr is resorting to crazy rotations.

    Centers are not efficient, get most of their points in the post.

    If Wall is 100% we significantly upgraded defensively at point guard.

    He was one of the top shot blocking and stealing PGs in the league, at one point he lead the Wizards in block shots per game over the centers before injury.

    https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/WAS/2018.html

    He averages very similar or a little less blocks for his career as Kawhi and Jokic, taller frontcourt players.

    He moves his feet on defense and is a bigger point guard with a wingspan. As long as he doesn't gamble and plays positional defense we should be improved.

    they can be efficient but many are not good free throw shooters. It hurts their efficiency

    Love that Boston deal with no less than 4 1sts and 2 pick swaps. Brown is a star in the making

    This reminds me alot of the CP3 trade! CP3 and James won't work together. There's only one basketball. How will it work?... here we go again!
