nets have like three top 10 spot up shooters now with harris, patty and curry

not to mention kd and kyrie

small ball lineups with kd at center could be really cool. now we can see what ben looks like with shooting

over/under on the 'work in progress' being 7 days
Ben Simmons will continue to work with his therapist to get mentally ready to play in Brooklyn. “It’s a work in progress,” according to one source close to him. But he’s thrilled with the change of scenery and has already spoken to Kevin Durant. https://t.co/rVpErjw5Oa— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) February 10, 2022

Sixers bench was thin before this - hope Morey's got a couple more minor moves to shore it up.

lol 16 games total is insane xp
morey was right in the end**had to trade his third best player and two first round picks to acquire a disintegrating 32 year old playoff failure

Would be awesome if the Nets cratered in the playoffs and KD bails and Simmons is left holding the bag.

quick thoughts on harden/embiid. they will be killer in the pnr together for sure... but the fact that both of them wear down at end of games/series will play a big factor at some point. they are also both highly TO prone.
― Spottie, Thursday, 10 February 2022 18:53 (two years ago) link
richardson has been great for the celtics but i do like this, white is more of a baller than josh, tho i imagine theres more than just those two guys in it
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 18:55 (two years ago) link
lol they just pried back two picks after sending out three + swaps to get harden and they cant wait to ship them out

the celtics finally have a real point guard kinda? josh richardson and romeo langford feel like neutral trade value at best players so i guess we’ll see where that pick ends up landing. doesn’t feel like they really gave anything up. not sure it speaks hugely of what derrick white’s value is unless the spurs think weirdly highly of langford
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 February 2022 18:59 (two years ago) link
ah langfords in there i see, good reclamation project for the spurs, i could see them getting something out of him, feel like richardson has some trade value but to a contender who needs some spot minutes at guard not sure what hell do for the spurs guess they can always trade him again
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:03 (two years ago) link
Richardson could totally be a Spurs-y role player but this is not a moment in the life cycle of the Spurs where that's what they need

pop quiz:
when james harden swings the ball to a shooter in the pick and roll, which sixers player has the best chance of making an open three pointer?
a. tobias harrisb. tyrese maxeyc. danny greend. mathisse thybullee. furkan korkmazf. none of the above
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:05 (two years ago) link
Maxey at this point.
― removing bookmarks never felt so good (PBKR), Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:07 (two years ago) link
thybulle is hopeless but the rest of those guys can shoot, and if philly can find their way to playing good inside out ball they should get some nice looks
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:09 (two years ago) link
the rest of those guys can shoo
can they?
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:10 (two years ago) link
does danny green not make threes anymore? if not, then why danny green
― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:11 (two years ago) link
theyre all either currently decent to good shooters or have been in the past and are about to be in a situation that should be good to shoot in
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:12 (two years ago) link
danny green has played like a corpse that has already been embalmed and set into a casket for imminent burial in the last two playoffs so i guess we'll see
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:12 (two years ago) link
i think teams in the playoffs will be more than glad to concede shots to any/all of those players. their best shooter aside from harden is actually georges niang, i'm sure it will be fine
maxeys shooting 40% green at 38, harris and embiid at 35, theyre not a bad shooting team, i mean none of those guys is someone you groan if your team gives them an open look but they can knock down good shots, and they should be getting them
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:17 (two years ago) link
harden iirc can shoot too
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:18 (two years ago) link
yeah. good luck w/ all that
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:18 (two years ago) link
whether he can figure out how to play off embiid to get easy looks for himself will prob go a long way towards determining how far philly goes
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:19 (two years ago) link
not sure what your argument is here jordan
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:20 (two years ago) link
Yeah, last year Danny Green would have a hot game once every three weeks. Now it's once every 6 weeks, if that.

that they're gonna be playing 2 on 5 on offense in the playoffs if their plan is to play spread pick and roll around harden and embiid & their success is going to come down to whether a bunch of unreliable shooters can stay hot for 4 series
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:23 (two years ago) link
I'm actually with Jordan that they need another shooter.
― removing bookmarks never felt so good (PBKR), Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:24 (two years ago) link
i'm just saying the plan of attack vs them is very obvious it's swarm harden and embiid as much as you possibly can and if tyrese maxey and tobias harris shoot you out of the playoffs then i guess that happens but the way teams like the heat and bucks play defense, it's all designed around protecting the paint at all costs and making role players beat you with threes
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:26 (two years ago) link
lol what level of shooting would be acceptable to you, all the numbers point to philly being a fine shooting team like theyre not blowing the doors off but theyre also not bad
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:26 (two years ago) link
if team decide to just not guard phillys shooters well then i think that sounds like a bad plan
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:27 (two years ago) link
i guess we'll find out cuz i think that's gonna be the plan
