you don't bench superstars in crunch time

bron with a 33-7-5 line is promising, but the issues of the overall lineup that've been repeatedly discussed ITT and elsewhere haven't really changed

Guess blatt meant what he said re k love not a max player xp

reminder that the fraudulent kevin love led a team to a 40-42 record in the west last season despite the worst run of 4th quarter luck ever. And now he's just the second banana so...

when you step back and look at the talent on this team, it's hard to see them being nearly this bad. but then you watch them and there's no chemistry, guys yelling at each other, never-ending lineup changes. i don't see how blatt finishes the year

3 assists away from a tripdub

rondo also sorta flirting with a tripdub but a ways to go

what about when you're -20 and your team makes that entire deficit up when you're off the floor

yeah I totally disagree, teams bench their whole starting lineup sometimes when the bench makes a run

ugh I guess the rockets would be slightly better than the lakers for love

I'd hate for the rockets to yet again not just give the job to Motiejunas, who has earned it

aaaand boogie fouls out one assist short of a tripdub
― i'm tellin you it was kenard (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 14 January 2015 05:22 (nine years ago) link
but if they have the money you gotta do it
they could keep motie as their third big and maybe see what they can get for terrence jones

monta having yet another pretty excellent game altho that was a weak turnover damn

unrelated but i watched a full game of okafor tonight and he had a sort of miserable game by his standards and i still see zero reason for him not to be the number 1 pick ... watching the game it felt like he had minimal impact except he actually had 15-15, he'll roll out of bed and get double doubles in the nba
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 January 2015 05:48 (nine years ago) link
Hah the final score for the heat lakers was 78-75. Bosh 4/17

yeah i don't want to read too much into it but a player doesn't do that to a coach he has even an ounce of respect for
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 January 2015 06:19 (nine years ago) link
it's the look blatt gives him that clarifies the situation. it's the look of a kid who can't win the argument.

benching a whole unit is another thing entirely. when you single one guy out (even if he's -20 for the game), after you've been having public issues with him, you're just asking for trouble.

read somewhere regardless where he signs hes gonna opt out this year, sign for one year, then sign his long term contract the next year to take advantage of the predicted higher salary ceiling - we cld be looking at two straight years of kevin love contract drama
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 January 2015 14:27 (nine years ago) link
seems like we know a little more which role is best for him, primary scorer on a team with a crisp offense and good defenders who can make up for his weaknesses on that end, he needs his plays called and gets a lil lost if hes just hanging around hoping someone gives him the ball
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 January 2015 14:31 (nine years ago) link
which makes sense as hes not a ball handler who can create his own shots or a specialist who can just stay in his zone or an athletic freak who can make something out of nothing
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 January 2015 14:33 (nine years ago) link
man got to fire that blatt
btw i enjoyed yr guys commentary on the suns game after the fact lol

read somewhere regardless where he signs hes gonna opt out this year, sign for one year, then sign his long term contract the next year to take advantage of the predicted higher salary ceiling
this is interesting.... i guess he's pretty much guaranteed to get a max in 16 if the did this but if this season goes really south for him he better make sure he finds a good situation for himself next year if he really wants to go one and done again
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 January 2015 14:43 (nine years ago) link
it seems like some teams weren't sold on him even before this season, now this one has been a disaster for him basically, and then if he goes to another situation next year and it turns out like this.... i dunno it's not a huge risk but it's a risk
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 January 2015 14:44 (nine years ago) link
it's getting harder to sell him for superstar bucks, that's for sure
― Nhex, Wednesday, 14 January 2015 14:45 (nine years ago) link
the only risk is injury imo someone will max him out regardless, theres gonna be so much money flying around when the cap goes up, even without the cap raise tho hes a guaranteed max imo
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 January 2015 14:47 (nine years ago) link
yeah i'm with you
but what if the only teams willing to max him out in 16 are the knicks and the lakers
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 January 2015 14:48 (nine years ago) link
that wld be sad 4 him lol, dont see it happening tho
