listening to the Kyrie episode of JJ Redick's podcast and kyrie is a weirdo. anyway in a snippet of it JJ said the rim on one side of the court (at the England arena) was crooked. 76ers shot well in the first half and Boston in the 2nd half. idk thought that was interesting

my fav hoops pod rn is brian windhorst's espn pod w/ the other espn basketball ppl. it's basically the old truehoop podcast but w/ all good/smart writers and no "personalities" like amin or the more talk radio-ish guys that used to be on the truehoop pods. windhorst is kind of a garbage writer but as a moderator of conversation he's good bcuz he is very very knowledgeable about the league.

i've heard bill simmons say all year that phoenix is the biggest threat to denver in the west because nobody can stop denver anyway so you might as well just try and outscore them
i don't think the data from last year's playoffs support that conclusion. i think you actually have a better chance if you can get denver in the muck a bit and play them close in every game, rather than the phoenix model of getting blown to smithereens in every loss bcuz you're giving up 120 ppg every single time out

― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 20 March 2024 17:29 (one week ago) link
its weird how last years suns series has been totally memory holed, bontemps just said that the wolves played the nugs the toughest in last years playoffs which is just not true the suns did, almost entirely on the strength of devin booker wrecking the nugs d, the nugs defense is good because its sound they play great team d, its not good because they have an athletic advantage, they are vulnerable to being broken down by great perimeter scorers largely because they dont have great rim protection, booker isnt even that good at getting to the rim but he was living there in the suns series,
I feel like I made this point last time we had this discussion but this is just not what happened. the suns won those games because KD and especially book both went on insane, completely unsustainable runs on jump shots. here is a screenshot of booker’s game log. they won those two games, on their home court, by a combined 12 points, and lost the other 4 by an average of 17.3. it was their most competitive series by games lost, but what I’m point out above is the reason most nuggets fans don’t consider it to have been their toughest series

every version of the suns playoff chances discussion is the same, yeah of course they can beat anyone if their guys get and stay hot, but they have no plan b and their plan a is exceptionally hard to pull off in 4 out of 7 games
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 17:38 (one week ago) link
even just beyond the typical normal unsustainability of some of the shooting in that series, i don't think from a stamina POV you can ask two guys to carry that kinda load against a team like denver that is a true 5 man unit
the good news for OKC is that they are much more a real line up than last year's phoenix team, but they also don't have a second scorer anywhere near as good as that phoenix team

his rim attempts were way up he doesnt get there much but he was vs denvers d, also this wasnt a booker and kd situation kd had a bad series he shot 45/22/88 his two good games were more or less standard regular season games for him he did not have any games where he went nuts, this was the devin booker show, and denver couldnt do anything with him even tho the suns werent a good team, now what if you had a player like booker except for better particularly in the ways that booker gave the nugs problems and he was on a very good team might that be a little bit of a worry something to consider matchup wise
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 17:46 (one week ago) link
the other thing w/ giving the thunder a match up "advantage" in that series w/ shai is that murray in the playoffs becomes a guy at that level too
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 20 March 2024 17:49 (one week ago) link
the ball handling and shooting and stuff that OKC has is nice the problem w/ denver is that they have the best ballhandler in the league dictating every possession and better shooting too
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 20 March 2024 17:51 (one week ago) link
im a murray fan, i dont think its just some random thing that hes been great in the playoffs his combo of shooting off the dribble and attacking ability is really the mix you want from a guard, however i dont think hes guaranteed to outperform his regular season production by as much as weve seen in the past, its not really a normal thing, even if it maybe makes more sense with him because of his particular game and fit with jokic
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 17:53 (one week ago) link
denver doesnt have better shooting than okc fwiw okc is clearly better
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 17:54 (one week ago) link
neither of them take many threes which is kind of interesting, with denver it makes sense because they have joker flipping in five footers all day and they have some non shooters in the mix, but okc has the best 3pt% in the league while only taking the 18th most, thats leaving money on the table
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 17:59 (one week ago) link
celtics are 2 in 3pt% while taking the most btw 😎
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 18:04 (one week ago) link
you gotta boil a lot this stuff down at the end of the day and i'll take murray, KCP and MPJ over OKC's three best off ball shooters, whoever they are
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 20 March 2024 18:08 (one week ago) link
you gotta trim so much of the fat off denver's rotation and statistical ledger when projecting them for the playoffs, it's all guys who are not very good, drag their stats down etc
meanwhile in OKC's case guys bench guys like isiah joe and cason wallace who help prop their statistical profile up from a shooting perspective are gonna have their mins decreased in the playoffs. i'd imagine you'd see little of those guys in a denver series especially as it went on
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 20 March 2024 18:11 (one week ago) link
bet you see wallace and joe more actually just cause giddy wont be playable lol tho those minutes could go to hayward if hes up to speed, he can shoot too

mjp and murray are legit shooters kcp isnt anything special in that regard, but doesnt really matter since the game isnt played three on three, you could make an argument that having more shooters is better than having a couple high end ones, tho i think that changes when you talk about guys who can hit threes off the dribble like murray which is just insanely valuable, and movement shooters like mpj are also very good way better than yr stand still catch and shoot guys, btw know who has the highest off the dribble 3pt% in the league this year, its jdub
jdub is checking all the boxes for a superstar projection but no one wants to think about it because its too sick
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 18:22 (one week ago) link
KCP is pretty certified to me at this point
if you line up both of these teams i feel like you have:
best players and no 1 ball handlers on both sides who are not frequent or great 3 pt shooters, tho have capability from there
one non shooter on both end, tho gordon did shoot 39% from 3 in last year's playoffs and we'll see how long giddey is in the starting line up
that leaves you w/ j dub, chet and dort vs murray, MPJ, and KCP as the guys most likely to be leveraging their shooting in off ball scenarios. obv j dub and murray have the ball a lot too but they're largely still orbiting the no 1 guy on the team. so those are the core 3 on each end for me and i'm taking denver's three guys
now you can switch out giddey for one of those other guys and then say that gordon sticks out like a sore thumb as a non shooter, but as i explained earlier i think making yourself smaller vs gordon presents an entirely new set of problems
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 20 March 2024 18:27 (one week ago) link
kcp is a guy who takes the easiest threes and hits them at a good rate, its not nothing and when combined with his elite d and general ability to play basketball hes a very good player a star role player even but hes just not a special shooter is all, hes a prob a lil above average for the type of player he is
widening the lens if giddy doesnt play then all the okc minutes go to shooters, which is pretty nice, i think is a pretty clear advantage for them
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 18:35 (one week ago) link
and fwiw okc have been playing small all year, they know the downside of it, and have decided its still best for them, and theyre a very smart org, they didnt go out and get a big at the deadline even though they couldve had their pick, cant say i agree with it but the fact that a great org thinks this is the best way for them to play does give me pause, its not like they dont know joker is out there, tho on the other hand they might just be taking the long view here and will add some size later, but idk just get some dece backup to eat up some minutes the celtics got tillman for two seconds why not add a guy like that, they didnt seem to want to at all
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 18:39 (one week ago) link
