euphronius posted:If he learns to shoot he could be an above average PG. If he learns to shoot he'll be a really good player who could play the 1 or 2. Very few Guards are able to go from where he is to "decent-good" shooter, but you never know. I feel like MCW does have some value, worst-case he seems like a good rotation player you can bring in to wreck havoc and create mismatches.

Perkins was supposed to goon someone after he was put in and that would be the end of it. JR Smith probably learned at the half that Love thought it was intentional and decided to be a good teammate in the only way he knew how.

Keep in mind Kaman's repeatedly said he realized over the summer his attitude and effort was the issue in previous stops and has worked to be a better teammate in Portland. So I don't think the warnings were undeserved.

Portland fans love always their bench. One time when Kaman was a Laker he complained about the amount of playing time he used to get on the Mavericks. After the game Carlisle pointed out he averaged more minutes on the Mavs than the Lakers.

This whole Kevin Love situation is bullshit, sorry, it is. I'm really hoping more games are tacked on for Olynk's suspension. A punk move on his end that accomplished absolutely NOTHING for his own team.

E_P posted:If you tried to injure Kelly O it wouldn't make sense, they sent out a goon who isn't any good to injure a good player so they responded in kind injuring one of their good players? I don't endorse it but it makes sense, I just wish people realized the play was a lot different from a typical lock up in the paint because of how Kelly attempted to twist and throw Love down, everybody tangles up but only a thug like Olynyk would try to throw a player to the ground. I just wish they got thugs like Olynyk, Pachulia, and Valanciunas out of the NBA and maybe more people would watch. I didn't say anything about the Love injury--obviously that was messed up as well. But punching a dude in the face when he had nothing to do with it (and injuring his knee in the process) is a pretty lovely thing to do. And JR Smith has a history of doing real dumb stuff to people. Also, Kaman sucks. I started hating him as soon as his hot start ended (sometime in december)? I'm glad Meyers is getting his playing time.

There aren't many available backup centers I would rather have. Only Amare had a higher PER and WS among frontcourt players who started fewer than 20 games.

Lockback posted:Rose is shooting 46% from 3 this series. He should absolutely have a green light. He shot 28% from 3 this season on 187 attempts. He's a 30% career 3-point shooter. He absolutely should not have a green light because he's a bad 3-point shooter. The only one's he should be taking are the wide open spot-up 3's that he sometimes gets because he is not that bad at them. Lockback posted:If the Bulls can Thibs it will be a stupid reactionary move and they will almost certainly end up with a worse coach. I've been a big supporter of his in the past but the league has changed. Spacing is vital in today's NBA and he just doesn't think it is. The roster is just not tailored for him. Might be better suited with another group more tailored to his style (Orlando actually makes sense in that regard). Obviously it's a huge risk if they let him go. But as it stands, it's a team with a defensive minded coach who doesn't have a good defense. What's the point? Niwrad fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Apr 28, 2015 |

Hand Row posted:Anyway MCW had a fantastic all around game, glad to see it. Interested in seeing him after an offseason with the Bucks great staff. I still think his ceiling is lower because it's tough if you can't shoot in this league. He was great last night but the Bulls are an optimal matchup for him. Brooks is like 8 inches shorter than him and Rose doesn't play defense.

At this point its conjecture, but I'm pretty sure Noah playing poorly is why they have a bad defense. They had the 2nd best defense last year, I don't think he suddenly forgot how to coach defense or that he can't get there again so quickly. Their offense has also shot up, which has always been the complaint against him. He develops young guys, gets lots out of veterans. I think a year where they won 50 games dealing with tons of injuries instead of the 55 Vegas predicted is nearly enough reason to can the guy.

Isn't part of Noah's struggles the fact he is playing out of position most of the year? Does Thibs deserve any blame for Butler's enormous dropoff? Or for Rose not giving a poo poo on that end of the court? The 3-big lineup seems to hurt them and so does playing Hinrich at SG. I just don't think everything can be blame on Noah not being as spry as he once was. I also don't think he forgot how to coach defense, but maybe the team is tuning him out at this point (it does happen with coaches that push hard). It'll come down to what happens in the playoffs though. There are no more health excuses. And what Jason Kidd is doing to him is not a good sign so far.

I think Noah is still not 100%, whether its something chronic, or something he never healed from, or what I don't know. But Noah looks like a different player out there even now. I think you are underestimating how important Noah is, he's a rim protector that can guard out on the perimeter, right now he looks like he's always a step behind the play. I do agree that Thibs lineups have been weird and it looks like he was trying something that just didn't work. That's cause for criticism but showing him the door is going to make the team worse, I am nearly certain about that. I think he's getting WAYYYY too much blame. Assuming they get past the Bucks, I don't think they have a better team on paper than Cleveland, even without Love. Also, someone had a chart that showed Rose was one of the most effective PGs on defense, which I am not sure I entirely believe but I don't think he's a huge deviation from average for PGs.
