    I don't think so. When Wood and Theiss are there they try to run the same perimeter handoffs with the bigs too it's just that they usually just end up handing it off because they don't have the vision and skill to hit cutters.

    Sometimes people need to realise, there just isn't good in a situation. This is one of those times.

    THIS IS FALSE AND I HAD THIS SAME ****ING CONVERSATION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON WITH SOMEONE WHO HAD TO ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG. THAT IS SENGUNS GAME AND HE HAS BEEN PLAYING THAT WAY SINCE SUMMER LEAGUE ON HIS OWN AND IN THE TURKISH LEAGUE, IT HAD **** ALL TO DO WITH SILAS. THE TEAM ON THEIR OWN STARTED DOING THAT NOW BECAUSE THEY ARE STARTING TO REALIZE THATS HOW HE PLAYS. WHEN HE FIRST STARTED DOING IT THEY WOULDNT CUT FOR ****. NOW THEY ARE ACTIVELY GIVING IT TO HIM AND CUTTING WHICH IS WHY THE UNIT WITH HIM LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER.

    Calm down big fella. Maybe it did come from Sengun himself and it worked so well that they try to make the other bigs copy it too to try to keep that style on the court at all times. Trust me I'm one of the biggest Sengun fans here. I think I may have been the first one to advocate drafting him at all. Empowering him to play his style as a rookie is commendable at least.

    He's not empowered just playing his game because there is no system. Empowerment would be to start him and run everything through him. I do caps for emphasis not yelling.

    I had to chuckle there, Harden would join them, and Durant joined them.

    It is not about the Warriors, that is the nature of the NBA, power draws power.

    It so happens that the Warriors, the Heat, the Lakers had that Gauntlet (not Infinity).

    Any major sports league is about monopoly when it matters. Deal with it.

    Nets just recruited ex Warriers in Durant and Nash but they are a new powerhouse, more patience is needed.

    Giannis is a Greek Hero.

    Spoken like the abused housewife.

    Teachers don't get to yell at students in class with such profanity.....belittle the
    kids in the classrooms. As if that's the best way to teach is swear at them
    continually.

    If it was, every Science teacher, Math teacher, English teacher, History teacher
    would need sound proof classrooms.

    One area in need of improvement which has sucked for the past year and a half is Silas’ halftime adjustments or lack of to be more specific. We always seem to be in the game at halftime only to implode in the second half of games. Consistent theme for Silas.

    A quote from a European.

    If you're an adult being paid millions to play a game, at least don't let your feelings be hurt when you're called out for being a numskull, a ballhog, a sloth, a cancer...

    Europeans call it as they see it. They're transparent in their joy and frustrations, and they expect everyone to own up to mistakes and deficiencies.
    THIS is the way to coach a team.

    Means nothing to me. Bobby Knight throwing chairs doesn't get the job done more than the coaches
    not throwing chairs.

    @harold bingo He's grabbed the low hanging fruit most of us were begging for him to grab (e.g. stop playing house and play KJ more). Now what he needs to do is keep Gordon in the starting lineup and bench Green or Porter. I don't care who but this starting lineup has more promise. If it were me I'd have him to a double switch and bench Theis and one of Green or Porter but that's expecting too much out of the guy so I'll take one switch first.

    Any good coach should this to anybody even if they're not paid.

    I like this fella and I intend to relieve him from his duties so that he can enjoy one heck of a vacation.
