My bad. That should also be a lot of fun. I kinda hope Nets pull off the upset so Bill Simmons suffers. Hate that smarmy f**k.
It wouldn't ultimately change the outcome of this game but Cavs really should've gone for Eric Gordon over LaVert. LaVert is fool's gold.
only problem I see with Mobley is he hasn't really improved much since the start of the season...which is good, he's a starter on most teams and a really good piece but...that next leap for him, becoming more of an offensive player, is going to be a hard one but will be something he needs to do if he wants to become a superstar and not just a better Gobert.
If Mobley is that dude, shouldn't he be showing more? I don't mind it if he was being aggressive but just missing shots, but being a role player in the biggest game of his career is not a good sign.
Mobley's knock is that he's not really an offensive player. He has hints of a handle, some face up game, and a shot but...it's not there yet to be relied on. If he never gets an offensive game he will be at best a super role player and maybe a DPOY and a 2-3 all-star appearances...an otherwise good player but not a franchise player...a player you'd love to have. With that said...he's 20 years old. Really up to him how good he wants to be. He's not one of those uncoordinated bigs that can't dream of doing anything outside of being big.
Porzingis ain’t a unicorn Mobley ain’t a unicorn Chet ain’t a unicorn Victor ain’t a unicorn Farting out fake unicorns (Not KG or KD or TD either)
If BKN beats CLE, does this mean Steve Nash is a better coach than Rockets Legend TM Bickerstaff? Edit: . When Kyrie sat, Cav's 1-3-1 zone got them a few TO's. I see you JBB.
Freaking this. Every year people fall in love with some 7 foot offensive stiff and every year they **** themselves in the playoffs. If you're going to draft one make sure they look like Dirk or KD.
Probably not the exact right thread, BUT, how have y'all's views changed, if at all, about the play-in gizmo now that we have 50% of conference finalists arising from the play-in bracket? I would call myself a "big fan" of the play-in thing, BUT I don't hate it. Clearly it gives a tiny bit of motivation to struggling but talented (or experienced, obviously) teams to keep trying for the last 15 games of the season. And I think the phenomena of playoff Butler and playoff Lebron is interesting. On the other hand, it just makes the regular season more meaningless than ever. If you don't have the right playoff horses, nothing about your regular season matters at all, as long as you can win 50% of your games, right? If the NBA suddenly went to a 64 or 70 game regular season, I'd favor that more than ever, and if, in concert, they even expanded the playoff tournament, I wouldn't even complain.
