Dejan Bimble posted:The luxury is that if Banjo Simmons isn't a total bust, they'll be able to play the same way with and without him on the court, because Dario replicates his playmaking in ball handling Exactly. The ideal situation is for them to play the same role on different units, not together (at least not a lot together - I could maybe see a 8-10 minute overlap with ridiculous passes all around).

Like how can you criticize a team's D when they've been playing garbage men for weeks. It'd be like reading an article on why the Nets need to take higher percentage shots. I mean sure, they should. But it's not relevant when the team is suiting up scrubs/players who wont be there next year

It's because there was a push for full triangle late in the season and there has now been enough games of it with the team's "best" players for someone to write an article about how it changed nothing but making the offense worse.

But it's not relevant when the team is suiting up scrubs/players who wont be there next year Ironically the Nets are close to Houston in terms of optimal shot selection. They simply had no one to get things going while Lin was out. Philadelphia was in the same position for the last few years. If you remember, they improved massively at the end of last season because they signed Ish Smith and started taking less threes and contested layups and more open midrange jumpers. Worse talent means closer shots , less guarded shots = more points. When the going gets impossible, the impossible sign squirty guards who like to take off balance midrangers and flick up weird floaters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asXau88O5Is OOh look I got my title for donating I am a plaster town cop I Defend the plaster town and am myself made of plaster Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Apr 12, 2017 |

Has the majority of the NBA chosen to forget that Ron Artest is a mentally ill menace or is the majority of the NBA fanbase too young to remember most of the poo poo he's done? Because I don't get all of the puppy love he's getting now that he's finally going away

Ron Artest is a champion for ending mental health stigmas, day drinking before games, never taking off your jersey, and karaoke.

EvanTH posted:Nah it's a decent contract for an okay player in the new market. And BOTH of those Chasson Randle contracts are pretty good! Its 11 mil a year for one 3 and one steal a game. Also he finishes up fast break layups okay I guess. MalarkeyToboggan posted:I've discovered what's wrong with this roster. There's a Plumlee on it. Plumlee should be in the D-league but the terrible no good lovely body of Joakim Noah pulls him up to serve occasional ten day contracts.

Is there anything else I should see, eat, or experience during that day?

It would definitely be better though.

Remember the Ibaka/Lopez fight? Here is a video of the Raptors locker room post-fight courtesy of Open Gym. https://streamable.com/mjaag This confirms I'm right to love PJ Tucker. Best team hype man we've had in a while.

Do the pelicans want to win this game tonight against the Blazers? Taking my mom and her favorite non-blazers are Cousins and Frazier, so I'm hoping they both play.

As annoyed as I would be for the pick swap to activate, I'd ultimately welcome it because we are so far separated from Philly in the rankings that a swap would still be an upgrade in position for us

If you're downtown go to Chinatown and eat dim sum till you pass out. Then walk over to Kensigton Market for other snacks. Walk across Queen street west for shops and patios. If you're into art the Art Gallery of Ontario has great stuff and is in a cool building. It all really depends on what you want. In terms of non-north American/honkey food Toronto has really good options

I guess you could eat Beavertails but Toronto's whole deal is based around embracing other cultures. Actually, just go to Poutini's and eat as much poutine as you can. If there's a raptor game on find a bar and watch us all complain about the league being rigged.
