Kings are dog poo poo but somehow like 2 games out

It's hilarious how perfectly things were set up for the Kings to finally make the playoffs and Vlade hosed it up

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I'm surprised to see Jokic on that list since it FEELS like he's a good midranger shooter. Davis just takes those because if he hits a couple defenses will generally defend him on the perimeter which gives him a lot of space to operate.

Jokic's underrated as h ell post game is his deadliest scoring asset and he's historically been pretty good from midrange, although that's in a slump this season. His 3 pt shooting has tanked these last couple of years though but that's whatever with a bunch of shooters around him

Russ takes all the bad shots so only good shots are left for James. A good teammate.

Could talk about Doncic but why did he take the trial run on Barnes and still re sign him to big money.

im suggesting a so called russ assist wherein you chuck so much that the other players on your team start taking shots just so you dont get the ball. hardens shots are largely set up in this way

Because Barnes is actually good??? Like, he did really well on the trial run and he's no where near the top 10 problems we have

I can't blame Vlade for passing on Luka. It's clear he's selfish and doesn't play winning basketball. He puts up empty counting numbers that don't win games. It's clear they would hit a ceiling fast with him and starting over would be tough because if you trade him down the road you'd get idiots that don't understand basketball calling for your head. Now with Bagley, even if he sucks, which is not true, it's much easier to move him and start over. This is the four dimensional chess that Vlade does better than anyone else

It's cuz Harden isos 4x as often as Luka. Nearly 11 fewer isos a game, replaced by beautiful pick and roll basketball, for the discerning consumer the choice is clear

The Mavs clutch offense is butt though

I dunno why Luka hating Twitter people comb his 4 nightly isos for turnovers and stuff to post with a vomit emoji when they could just post ref whining and off-ball defense. You could get like a three minute supercut out of that every game

This is going back in the day but when the Book of Basketball came out I posted on a smaller forum and we did a collective forum Top 50 players thing and I was the only voter to put Dirk in my top 50. By that point he had passed Magic Johnson in win shares

The title changed things a bit ofc

Luka runs the best offense in NBA history...Harden doesn't and his signature move is flailing into other players hoping to get free throws.
