It’s always hard to judge guys who are as bad at defense as Booker is. Did he get a little better this year?
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 14 May 2020 14:14 (three years ago) link
defensively? not rly. tho his offense might be elite enough to make up for it.
― methinks dababy doth bop shit too much (m bison), Thursday, 14 May 2020 14:16 (three years ago) link
i mean i shd say his defensive stats have improved but they're still negative
Yeah in 18-19 he was literally bottom five in defense which is hard to fade
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 14 May 2020 15:35 (three years ago) link
he's still young, but he's been in league for 5 years and the suns are still bad, so idk how to measure him. feels like he'd need to be on a balanced team with excellent D around him for to have the freedom to blowtorch on offense.

to me they have the opposite effect of what you want. they feel great when you grab it at first or dribble around or shoot a bit.. but as soon as you get sweaty they (depending on the ball) get harder and more slippery. the leather ball is the opposite, feels like a brick when you grab it at first but one game in there's nothing better. and you can use the glass with way more control cos it doesnt grip the glass it's more of a natural bounce off of it.
This is exactly what I tell ppl when they bitch about the leather ball. And they ALL bitch. Except for Mr SemiPro, Cam, who cannot stand the soft Wilsons.

my thoughts too. Booker is 2 guard Melo 2.0.

basically he needs to be the young upstart on a team of vets basically he needs to go to the spurs in 2016

its why in theory i liked him alongside rubio, oubre and bridges. we just havent seen them play together enough to know if it will work.

I don't think I'll ever get over losing Ricky.he's such an enigma in how in some aspects he's a really amazing and uniquely skilled player and aesthetically pleasing but at the same time ultimately mediocre overall

but really the essence of being a Wolves fan is trying to find things that are fun to watch in the middle of disastrous shitshow after disastrous shitshow and he's really one of the great Wolves to me in that sense

Ricky Rubio stopped improving at basketball at the age of 14 and somehow this was enough to be a rock solid NBA starter for a decade plus
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 14 May 2020 21:57 (three years ago) link
i was just noting that! he has become a slightly better shooter but he has the most consistent production of anyone i've ever seen

LeBron says he seriously considered switching to football during the 2011 lockout and even got a contract offer from Jerry Jones - in writing. So how good could he have been?

Told today that if the NBA does resume with all 30 teams at a single-site, game days are likely to look like Summer League. Games would be almost all day long (starting around 12:00 noon ET) until the regular season is complete. Playoffs would follow a more regular schedule.— Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) May 22, 2020

I loved everything about Jerry Sloan, from the way he played to the way he coached. He was a tenacious competitor who represented the Bulls of the 70s so well. Jerry became one of my favorite coaches when he was on the 1996 Dream Team staff and it was an honor to learn from him. pic.twitter.com/pEhbmiFbzp— Scottie Pippen (@ScottiePippen) May 22, 2020

If the players are convinced it's a good, safe plan and get on board, the other details that have leaked are looking very promising. I give it a better than 50-50 chance to happen. More like 75-25 imo.

the first round should be enough to shake off the rust for the teams that matter.
the posturing that has clearly started w/this lillard quote is going to be extremely annoying so let's just cut it off right here imo.
