― micah, Thursday, 20 September 2018 14:00 (five years ago) link
yeah, lot better than it did tho, well see how it works in game
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 20 September 2018 14:06 (five years ago) link
not sure that looks game ready to me
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 20 September 2018 14:19 (five years ago) link
why do they call that a "jump" shot tho

ok RWB acronym I get, but how do you get CGI from Markell Fultz, this has gone too far

Feel bad for TWolves fans but glad to get some intrigue to tide us over in the final stretch of the Ball Drought.

this season is going to be good!

looking forward to eastern conference basketball

I've been to all Bulls games at Phoenix since 2012-13 season. Last season was 1st one where Bulls fans didn't completely overwhelm Suns fans, vocally and in quantity. Curious to see if that reverses this season. Obv that depends on how well each team does leading up to it(I think the game this season is in March).

Question from a noob: is Towns really a liability at defence? Looking over at basketball reference, his DBPM is way higher than noted two way player Butler, his defensive shares ranks 24th in the entire NBA.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 20 September 2018 22:01 (five years ago) link
It depends on which stat you look at. He's extremely bad in defensive real plus minus (DRPM), and was even worse the previous year. But he was around 11th among centers in defensive win shares last year. I see him as sort of middle of the pack.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Thursday, 20 September 2018 22:28 (five years ago) link
hes a good rebounder right? rebounding bumps up the numbers a bit. but just watch him. he gets burned back door and caught being lazy all the time... and just not aggressive.

it’s hard for me to think of a more useless stat than DBPM

this is from the beginning of last season but it has lots of other stats where kat doesn't come out looking good. i believe the consensus is that he improved during the year but still has a long way to go.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 21 September 2018 00:03 (five years ago) link
kat's footwork in that video is horrendous.
also coach nick's mid-video ad segues are wild. he really slides them in there.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 21 September 2018 00:13 (five years ago) link
they crack me up
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Friday, 21 September 2018 00:15 (five years ago) link
props to dude for making a living being a hoops super nerd
I’d never noticed kat’s footwork before but yeah major major yikes, playground stuff
― Clay, Friday, 21 September 2018 00:16 (five years ago) link
his legs look like baby horse legs
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 21 September 2018 00:18 (five years ago) link
lol
also the way he just puts his arms up and then keeps them totally stationary, that's like some midwest high school shit
― call all destroyer, Friday, 21 September 2018 00:18 (five years ago) link
stay vertical! but with no idea what that means
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Friday, 21 September 2018 00:29 (five years ago) link
haha yup
― call all destroyer, Friday, 21 September 2018 00:30 (five years ago) link
you can't compare DBPM across positions really, as rebounding is a huge component of defense
― ciderpress, Friday, 21 September 2018 01:08 (five years ago) link
it's just completely dumb based on box score as the name implies and so forth
― k3vin k., Friday, 21 September 2018 01:13 (five years ago) link
box plus minus is an irrelevant stat in 2018 imo
― k3vin k., Friday, 21 September 2018 01:18 (five years ago) link
thanks for the info guys!
― Van Horn Street, Friday, 21 September 2018 03:32 (five years ago) link
we are here for you (to tell you how bad kat is at defense)
― call all destroyer, Friday, 21 September 2018 03:37 (five years ago) link
we went in on KATs poor defense last year in the reg season thread. this is some of what we said after that video upthread was posted then:2017-18 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD PART 1 ALL OF AMERICAS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE BACK
i stand by this
KAT plays d like a guy who permanently has 5 fouls and is simply trying to avoid fouling out― Spottie, Saturday, December 23, 2017 11:27 AM (eight months ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

also in that thread we called him out for a poor game even tho he dropped in insane statline on offense (34/19 or something) and m@tt got defensive for a minute... but now i think he's realized we were right.
also embiid otmhttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQ-ycJ7WkAAgK9l.jpg:large
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Friday, 21 September 2018 06:10 (five years ago) link
kat may average 30/13 this season

from new lowe article:
Motion-tracking cameras recorded Wiggins "running fast" during only 4.8 percent of his time on the floor, one of the 10 lowest such figures in the league, per Second Spectrum. (Almost everyone in his slowpoke vicinity is a plodding 7-footer.)

damning stuff on wiggins in there yikes.
kev theres a jamal murray section in there... this comment should please you
And Paul Millsap is the ultimate fill-the-gaps big who nudged Jokic -- by way of a late-season heart-to-heart, team sources say -- into undisputed alpha dog position.

Sources: The NBA’s Board of Governors passed rule changes for season that include: reset of shot clock to 14 seconds after offensive rebound; simplification of clear-path foul rule; expanding definition of "hostile act" for purposes of triggering replay.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) September 21, 2018
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 21 September 2018 19:07 (five years ago) link
wow no more kick it back out for a full 24 for an offensive rebound? that's going to change some things and add another couple/few possessions to the game
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Friday, 21 September 2018 19:16 (five years ago) link
i like it
― ciderpress, Friday, 21 September 2018 19:31 (five years ago) link
to me it decreases the value of offensive rebounds, not really a fan
― call all destroyer, Friday, 21 September 2018 19:32 (five years ago) link
It’s a bullshit rule that makes some possessions worth less than others.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 21 September 2018 22:41 (five years ago) link
yeah im not in alignment with this one. otm it devalues a skill that was already being devalued
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Friday, 21 September 2018 22:47 (five years ago) link
seems like something they should've experimented w/ in the g-league for awhile? or maybe they have?
― Clay, Friday, 21 September 2018 22:51 (five years ago) link
i don't feel too strongly about it unlike my opinion that they should change the color of the basketball to Green
