MourningView posted:this is most people who are into rock though Not a good teammate. Putting his own personal pride ahead of the risk of injurying Jordan, what if he got a concussion. Or damaged his eye. He put a ring on the line because he was a bit pissy because his role player rear end couldn't take the L with dignity.

I don't know if the best part of the story being Kerr hitting back, or that Jordan got pissed that Steve Kerr was playing defense too hard. Steve Kerr. Playing Defense. Too hard.

Lockback posted:They are #2 If we had Sanders, defense would be solid. He's the only missing piece right now, because we've had all shots locked down easily. It's inside the paint under the net we've been weak. Deep shots were an issue about 5 games in and Kidd took care of that. You will see every single 3 contested. Most teams have guys just standing there giving up, Bucks don't do this. Even if it is a gimme, it gets contested.

You can tell the Bucks try really hard to contain the ball to one side of the court. They will deny the pass back to the middle of the floor and dare you to try to pass over their length cross court. They have trouble with bulky centers who can score but who doesn't. Sanders and Henson are much better in help defense than in the post and rebounding.

A lot of words about why Tyreke is missing so many layups (he carries the ball too low when picking up his dribble).

You can probably argue that he is only shooting them at that clip because he is being left that wide open. It speaks to how good the team is at the rim that defenders are willing to do that.

Matt Barnes is a career 34% 3-point shooter with a really stupid looking shot that he shoots with a completely unnecessary hitch and is incredibly streaky in a bad way

Nick Collision extended in OKC for 2 years, $7.5mil (total). Both years guaranteed. May be longest tenured non-HoF player in league now who has only played for one team.

While it's not exactly breaking the bank, that's a decent chunk of change for a guy pretty clearly in decline who could probably be replaced for the minimum.

Hashtag Banterzone posted:Are OKC going to resign Perkins too? I don't think so. They have a 25-year old 7'1" euro prospect on FC Barcelona (Tibor Pleiss) and rumor is he's coming over next season. I have no idea if he's any good, but he'll be a more cost effective backup for Adams moving forward. I think next year's rotation will be something like Adams playing about 30 minutes a night and smallball for 10-12 minutes a night with Ibaka as the lone big. Collison was extended previously using some arcane CBA provision. Some clairvoyant writer on bball breakdown suggested OKC might use another specific CBA loophole to extend Collison again and it looks like they did: https://twitter.com/MarkDeeksNBA/status/562667156916424705 I'm happy to see Nick get rewarded. Wouldn't be surprised to see him work in the front office in OKC after this deal ends if he's got the brains for it.

Caps changing anyways in a few years. I think a lot of teams are going to take on what would be perceived as bad contracts knowing that relief is coming after next year with the new TV deal. On a sidenote, I will be traveling to Chicago on February 28th. I have an opportunity to go to Bulls Clippers on the 1st which just so happens to be an ABC game. Tickets in the bleeders are about $80 which is fine, but I was just wondering if any of you have any insight on ticket costs in Chicago. Is that about right? Also, any cool things around the stadium that I need to check off the bucket list?

Hot-Take Alert: Durant doesn't have the killer instinct needed to hardball role-players on contracts. He's too nice and just wants everyone to be happy so it leads to Presti giving too much money to good locker room guys. He just doesn't have The Will To Win.

Check out NBATickets.com and StubHub though for maybe a better deal. There is practically nothing around the stadium. It's all parking lots (supposed to be changing in a few years). But I'd still recommend getting to the stadium early as there is stuff there you can do. Jordan statue is outside the East entrance. Inside there is the Pippen and Red Kerr statue. Can take some pictures with the championship trophies. Bunch of other little things to walk around and check out.

Dubs' only home games for the next month are tomorrow against the Mavs and on the 20th against the Spurs. If they can make it past that without the Grizz catching up I think they have the #1 seed locked down.
