i love james harden and i dont care what anyone says
how can he move so slow while moving faster than all the fast basketball men
― lag∞n, Saturday, 5 May 2018 03:40 (six years ago) link
he doesn't rely on drawing fouls even half as much as he did a couple of years ago, and his game has improved quite a bit as a consequence

yeah going for all those cheap calls really worked against him come playoff time

it was cool when he was shooting like 65% from 3 for a couple months
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Saturday, 5 May 2018 04:16 (six years ago) link
he shot 43% for the season thats considered very good

if the jazz are gonna take one like this we at least deserve cutaways to a sad-eyed but still smiling mitt
― Clay, Saturday, 5 May 2018 04:18 (six years ago) link
it's no 65% tho...
always love when a game is over halfway through the 1st q.

his second favorite is hamburger
― lag∞n, Saturday, 5 May 2018 04:21 (six years ago) link
steak he says is good but not as good as hamburger or especially the hot dog meat
― Clay, Saturday, 5 May 2018 04:22 (six years ago) link
it sounds like he pandering to the common man but i believe him 100% he just looks like a hot dog man

That slo-mo is beautiful. The way the spotlights converge on them just as their bodies meet. I wish they had to play against each other every game.

i think the problem w/ the fultz/tatum trade is that not just that tatum is probably better than fultz -- though that is bad -- but that in philly's system they'd be playing the same exact role. fultz is nominally a PG but with simmons & embiid entrenched his time spent dominating the ball will be very minimal. he is very long for a PG and was a great shooter in college so he can play off the ball and fit w/ their length on defense but uh... that all describes tatum too! it just seems like not only did they misevaluate the players but also didn't quite understand how either would function on their team, which i think is worse.

it is soooooo much easier to say this with the benefit of hindsight. the draft is a crapshoot

the only people questioning the fultz pick at the time were people who thought lonzo was better

also theres just looking at results, even if there is a lot of uncertainty in the draft some orgs tend to draft better, aaand in this case prob phillys biggest fuck up was giving up a very valuable pick to move up two spots for a player that if were talking about predraft consensus most ppl didnt think was anything special for a #1 pick
― lag∞n, Saturday, 5 May 2018 20:12 (six years ago) link
it cld end up being a franchise defining fuck up, now philly needs to fill holes via free agency where they cld easily have been stacked w homegrown talent

Celtics were 9.5-point underdogs leading up to Game 3. Looks like only two other times this season that the Celtics were bigger underdogs: Jan. 27 at Golden State (L, 109-105)March 28 at Utah (W, 97-94)— Chris Forsberg (@ESPNForsberg) May 5, 2018

sure some front offices are better than others, but on draft night we are still talking about a shift in percentages rather than one guy knowing what he's talking about and the other guy having no clue. and this doesn't even begin to consider the advantage teams like the celtics with great organizational direction and coaching/training staffs have. nor does it take into account the vagaries of circumstance, namely that if the Cs prize free agent didn't break his leg 5 minutes into the season, and if fultz didn't fall in with that weirdo and forget how to shoot, the narrative could look a lot different
― k3vin k., Saturday, 5 May 2018 21:11 (six years ago) link
fultz could still end up being the best player in the draft

When has a player ever had a start this worrying and turned out to be the best player in his draft― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, May 5, 2018 2:28 PM (eight minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permal
never but we've never had a start like this so it's hard to really know how this is gonna turn out.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Saturday, 5 May 2018 21:38 (six years ago) link
I think it’s a not entirely different start from Anthony Bennett
