yeah i like the thunder bench too, presti really did a good job of upgrading their depth on the low. unfortunately they needed someone to play that harden role and they just completely whiffed on waiters
morrow has been giving them really good minutes lately but that's not nearly enough obv

i may be in the minority but i'd still rather see the thunder than the pellies. playoff russ > brow for me
― k3vin k., Friday, 20 March 2015 17:16 (nine years ago) link
yeah i agree that the pells don't do much for me as a team. i would like to see brow in the playoffs with a roster that does not look like their roster.

let's not forget what happened last time ibaka was the second option in the playoffs though. i think the dubs defense would really expose him

as it pertains to the thunder specifically, for our purposes
Athletes act like dicks to reporters all the time. Why is this a story?
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 20 March 2015 20:22 (nine years ago) link
yeah that aspect of the thunder going into overdrive sheltering their players from the media was something. that reggie jackson story was interesting too.

He was 6'9 in bare feet, these are publicly available measurements.
Even post insanity/injuries Sanders still had absurd DRPM numbers. He was/is a great defender.

You can't really fluke defense for a season, dude just was good.

yeah kind of an odd situation where by sheltering their players too much theyre making them allergic to the media where it cld just be nbd and ordinary if everyone wld just chill

One thing I didn't see in those MJax articles: when bogut got injured and Jackson basically called him a pussy and then gave a fiery press conference blaming the media for printing what he said. Great guy!

i swear every national broadcast i've seen of a dubs game this year as soon as someone mentions what a great job kerr is doing etc there's an immediation interjection of 'WELL YOU HAVE TO GIVE MARK JACKSON CREDIT ETC'. fucking ridiculous.

@CelticsHub: Marcus Smart with the flagrant 2 foul and ejection after a cheap shot on Matt Bonner in the nuts. A suspension is likely coming too.

i forget what pre-duncan media was like down here, but local coverage is fawning plus they know how pop is. he's generally more verbose with local reporters in interviews, ive noticed.

again when i was questioning the sanders extension there was much less data to go on, and DRPM didn't even exist yet. i'm wary of buying into hype over a season or so's worth of defensive numbers, because they can fluctuate a lot. i never said he wasn't a very good defender. i questioned the contract because of 1) not a lot of data to go on on the defensive end 2) the fact that he gives you nothing on offense and 3) the fact that he had trouble staying on the court because of fouling. this is even before character issues became so problematic. obviously the jury is in at this point and he's a great defender, but even leaving the character issues aside, was he worth 11 million a year under the old cap structure? i don't think that's such a no-brainer
