so if winning % is the same no factor. I'm saying IF one of them drastically improved/fast-forwwarded their rebulit that will probably be a factor
Neither team has an incentive to try to make the playoffs next year. Their focus will be on giving their talent a chance to learn which comes with growing pains. Houston in particular - unless they keep both Gordon and Wall - I can't imagine winning more than 35 games
Huh? Kobe averaged 4.7 assists per his career with 3 turnovers a game. That is a terrible assist to turnover ratio. Don't get me wrong I still think Kobe is easily in the top 20 but if you are picking top ten people have to fallout for something. And honestly if he passed more and played more team ball he woulda ranked way higher. He just had supreme confidence in himself which is both a good and bad thing. He shot the Lakers out of the Pistons series and the first Celtics series. Heck even in game 7 when they won he was like 6-30.... He benefited soo much from the big market. Considering 2 of his rings were absolutely rigged by Tim Donaghy. And it's just easier to acquire talent to go to LA. He would be the only player in the top 10 to not shoot 50% from the field. That's a huge drop..
were you able imagine suns going to the finals and almost winning it all? miami the year before and almost winning it all were it not for the injuries? were you able to imagine warriors becoming a dynasty in 2013?
If healthy, did you really think Miami had a chance? I think they was the worst thing they coulda happened to Miami. Cuz now they actually think they can win and went all in on Lowry etc.. that team is not a contender...At no point did I think the Lakers were even in danger of losing that series no matter who was playing.. Sure people thought the Suns would be good. CP3 does wonders for a team but are you really gonna count on every star in the west getting hurt? Or are we really gonna count on a players the caliber of Durant deciding to join our team?
lets turn the tables, if AD got hurt and we all know its a high probability event, miami wins it all, so yeah they should have gonne all in and not tank for anthony freaking edwards are you really gonna lie or distort the facts in order to win a debate on the Internet? so yeah they should have gone all in instead of tank for Cade to pair him with ayton, and the fact that they were so close to winning it all confirms it. NOBODY, NOBODY PREDICTED SUNS TO THE FINALS...and wouldnt have predicted it in 1000 years... so you didnt predict warriors becoming a dynasty back in 2013? thank you expert!
That is what you are thinking ? I want to tell you that the Rockets will make the playoffs. We have a great team and as a true fan we should want a winning team.Y
I want whats best for the players and the team long-term, and too much emphasis on winning now will hurt the growth of players. If you play Wall and Gordon a ton of minutes then you will sacrifice green and KP3's development.
We can agree to disagree but I think the lakers still win without AD. Lebron dominated the East for 10 straight seasons by himself. Pretty sure he coulda beat the heat by himself. If you want to use the Warriors as an example to build a dynasty that's fine. They drafted in the lottery 5/6 seasons and one year got lucky with Draymond. So using their formula the Rockets need to tank for 5 more years...
As time goes by, the two big men will move up the ladder.To already have Sengun as the sixth choice at 14 - 1 says a lot about our draft.
I'd imagine Suggs or Cunningham, with Giddey being a dark horse. Green has Wall and KPJ to sorta cannibalize his stats. The three players mentioned before don't really have solid offensive alternatives.
