blazers added so many new guys i'm pretty sure they'll be doing lineup tweaks deep into winter xps

this warriors team is the exact type of hangover you should have to deal with after hollowing your team out to run 4 all stars
― ciderpress, Monday, 28 October 2019 02:12 (four years ago) link
what clay said. also, stotts is known for riding with any player(s) who he thinks is playing well.
― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 28 October 2019 02:12 (four years ago) link
blazers won tonight partially because of a well-deployed coach's challenge from stotts, so i guess that really is a thing now

Warriors roster already gutted now missing 3 of their rotation players... it’s not pretty. D lo got ejected. Kerr refusing to change his system so far. Need high iq players to run his thing and we have two of those at the moment, Curry’s gravity don’t mean a thing if it’s to get random rookies and journeymen an open look. Run and gun and high pnr with curry dray or d lo dray is the only way this team will succeed for now. they can’t defend and can’t rebound. Luckily the nba is cool and other teams are fun to watch.Also:

they cld be better and still be bad

it will be tough for them to make the playoffs
― J0rdan S., Monday, 28 October 2019 07:25 (four years ago) link
there's still only 7 teams in the west i'd say are definitively better than them (nuggets, rockets, clippers, lakers, blazers, jazz, spurs) but you could arguably count dallas at this point. the margins are very thin.
― J0rdan S., Monday, 28 October 2019 07:29 (four years ago) link
the zion injury probably eliminated one challenger at least
― J0rdan S., Monday, 28 October 2019 07:30 (four years ago) link
I don’t think the warriors can do it unless WCS really works which I do think is possible
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 28 October 2019 14:31 (four years ago) link
i'm bullish on dallas as per my prediction post
― ciderpress, Monday, 28 October 2019 14:32 (four years ago) link
kings are also maybe capable of doing stuff
― ciderpress, Monday, 28 October 2019 14:34 (four years ago) link
Idk what’s going on with the Kings, expected a strong start from them
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 28 October 2019 14:37 (four years ago) link
One of the exciting things about this season is how it feels like the games already matter given how close the West was last year

I would still be pretty surprised if Porzingis makes it through the season without some major injury
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Monday, 28 October 2019 15:40 (four years ago) link
Porzingis looks unguardable, especially when they post him up at the baseline. That’s what they should be going with in clutch situations imo (especially if the other option is Doncic iso stepbacks)
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 28 October 2019 15:41 (four years ago) link
Porzingis growing another inch since his rookie year is really surreal to see
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 28 October 2019 15:42 (four years ago) link
will be surprised and elated if zing makes it to the allstar break unscathed; i imagine teams are going to start violently bodying him from now on

nba blitz
― ciderpress, Monday, 28 October 2019 15:57 (four years ago) link
not sure if theres any point to it or even if its a good idea but zinger shooting a step back 3 is just completely uncontestable
― lag∞n, Monday, 28 October 2019 16:03 (four years ago) link
he also hit one from ~35ft yesterday

lol no one —violently bodies— in the nba anymore
― lag∞n, Monday, 28 October 2019 16:16 (four years ago) link
but yeah zinger will prob not last long due too being too tall
― lag∞n, Monday, 28 October 2019 16:21 (four years ago) link
Jumping up and down repeatedly is the wear and tear for zinger
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 28 October 2019 16:21 (four years ago) link
pretty much any player who's been in the nba for 3 seasons can handle the physicality of the game, i always think that point is overplayed (i.e. when ppl used to say you just need to knock steph curry down)
― J0rdan S., Monday, 28 October 2019 16:24 (four years ago) link
one thing abt physical play is its really tiring, harden steph et al being able to take one million step back 3s in a game while remaining fresh is a direct result of the league mandated tightening officiating, theyve gone a lil too far imo harden shdnt be allowed to do that shit
― lag∞n, Monday, 28 October 2019 16:28 (four years ago) link
Physical play means bruises and stuff which doesn’t knock anyone other than anthony davis out of games

zinger should learn from tacko and just never leave his feet

jumping is for nerds
― lag∞n, Monday, 28 October 2019 16:37 (four years ago) link
physicality matters in terms of post defense and in terms of guys who try to drive to the basket using strength not quickness but those are more about effectiveness than injury risk/wear and tear.

another guy the heat pulled off scrap heap who looks like a legitimate NBA player. and being a legit wing makes it pretty interesting. w/ butler out and dragic coming off the bench they've been running a lot of offense thru him at the starts of games.
btw he was given a partial guarantee as an UDFA by the warriors, ended up on their d league team and was cut @mattarmstrong

they developed him on the santa cruz warriors for a full season then just let him go
