ben is suspended for game 1 which is in new orleans, then they're home vs the nets i doubt he plays. then they have 2 more on the road. starting 10/28 they're at home for 4 straight... does he play in any of those games?

eh I feel pretty good that they’ll be fine, they’re the best team in the east without kyrie imo

i think id take the bucks still. their vibes are better and they have the title glow now.

sixers have pelicans, OKC, detroit twice and the knicks twice in their first 10 games, lucky break for them

very curious to see if some of the different stuff the bucks in the finals with giannis will carry over to this season, feel like they mightve unlocked something there
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 21:43 (two years ago) link
i think the bucks will be improved
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 21:45 (two years ago) link
their offense was so prone to going to shit at a moments notice that if they can just not do that theyll be very tuff 2 beat
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 21:47 (two years ago) link
playing giannis as more of a big man could help with that and makes a ton of sense and also worked in the finals where they won the title
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 21:48 (two years ago) link
coincidentally it was also a thing ive been saying they should do for years
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 21:49 (two years ago) link
jrue would prob play better under those conditions too
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 21:51 (two years ago) link
tbh their offense looked clogged in the toilet like into game 7 vs the nets. we'll see. the hawks series i'm not sure you can even glean much from that match up & so much of their offensive success vs the suns came down to giannis having a few huge outlier FT shooting performances (to his credit). if he can actually get his FT% up above 70% that would be as big as anything else, especially in the playoffs when they need him to just mash the ball into the paint in big games. not that any of this will matter in the regular season anyway. i think they'll have a tougher road to the title this playoffs than last so there might be another level of improvement they need to get to in order to repeat
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 October 2021 21:56 (two years ago) link
in the clinching game giannis went 17-19 at the line which is obvs way above his average, on the other hand he did draw 19 fouls

thats why i found what they did in the finals namely using him more as a roll man so interesting, on paper the suns were an obvs better defensive team than the nets but the bucks seemed to unlock something in their scheme
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 22:09 (two years ago) link
the bucks have grayson allen now so obviously they've improved

yeah well it is the kings
Marvin Bagley's agent Jeff Schwartz blasts the Kings for their "case study in mismanagement" in how they've handled Bagley. Schwartz says Bagley, drafted No. 2 overall in 2018, has been informed he's "not in the opening night rotation."More from me: https://t.co/LGN9cVpeGP https://t.co/pmuvXIaWr7— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) October 19, 2021
not starting bagley != not playing bagley
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 22:15 (two years ago) link
Oh he's not in the rotation lol
I guess I should drop him in that one fantasy league :(

the bucks were missing their starting SG for their playoff run it should be noted.

its true
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 22:24 (two years ago) link
i understand bagley's agent wants him out of sacramento cuz who wouldn't but there's no actual evidence that he's a rotation level player right?
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 October 2021 22:26 (two years ago) link
he puts up numbers when he gets run but not quite sure yet (pretty sure tho) if its like jahlil okafor or something of more impact. he's also just been consistently hurt.
― um, i mean... im sure weve all seen the videos, so... that will help (Spottie), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 22:28 (two years ago) link
20/10 on 50/34 per 36 last year
― um, i mean... im sure weve all seen the videos, so... that will help (Spottie), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 22:30 (two years ago) link
also i would just like to add that i was perusing giannis stats for the finals, which btw are insane https://www.espn.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/3032977/giannis-antetokounmpo, and he shot 62% from the line for the series so i dont think we can really credit unusual ft shooting for the win, i mean his makes were not evenly distributed but thats normal, what he did do was draw 14 fouls a game which is crazy, took one fewer 3 a game than the regular season while playing 7 more minutes which is nice too
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 22:31 (two years ago) link
every stat i can find on bagley says he's bad. i mean i know this but
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 October 2021 22:42 (two years ago) link
it's also a bit rich for bagley's agent to have allowed him to be like the one guy at the top of the draft who wanted to go to sacramento bcuz it allowed him to be overdrafted and is now complaining about a "case study in mismanagement" on the kings behalf. yeah no shit pal
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 October 2021 22:43 (two years ago) link
i agree they should let him play tho i mean hey why not
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 22:45 (two years ago) link
lets see what the kid can do lol
If Bagley does not start 41 games or play 2000 minutes this season, his Qualifying Offer for next offseason will drop from $14.8M to $7.3M.

lol the 1-2 picks in that draft getting picked before better guys now the teams are jealous and playing hardball. no one to blame but themselves.

and also goes to the evergreen question of what are the kings trying to do? why are they prioritizing harrison barnes over their #2 pick? they coulda traded barnes for something last year when he was playing well and they were on the outside looking in.
― um, i mean... im sure weve all seen the videos, so... that will help (Spottie), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 23:03 (two years ago) link
1st round pick for harrison barnes boom put it in your pocket whats the problem

Jaren Jackson is pretty underrated. The Grizz were smart to lock him up. I think he could have a better career than Ayton.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 23:15 (two years ago) link
aytons already proved to be much more valuable so far.
― um, i mean... im sure weve all seen the videos, so... that will help (Spottie), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 23:18 (two years ago) link
i like jjj a lot he could be a very nice player, also i think its unfair of certain people in this thread to say he just hasnt shown improvement when hes only been in the league three years and was injured basically the entire third year, what do you know about jjjs trajectory basically nothing shush up
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 23:20 (two years ago) link
Ayton's is more valuable but he doesn't seem like guy who will have a long career
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 23:21 (two years ago) link
ayton has been better because of his defense but jjj could pass him because of his shooting
