It's a shame the E/W series look so bad, because that seems like enormous league parity otherwise.

GR3 has been shooting the 3 well and doesn’t appear to make a ton of mistakes when playing. But he’s losing out to DaQuan Jeffries in the rotation and rarely seems to make an impact. He’s a Lean Cuisine microwave dinner that has Guy Fieri DDD hype and recognition

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.
Whiteside as a richman's Javale McGee, I'll take it, I'll take anything slightly positive.

People say Whiteside gets exposed on the perimeter. Which he does. But it completely unsells how bad he is at tracking people. You don't even need to drag him out on the perimeter, he constantly loses track of guys cutting by him when he's camping in the key. And he's as groundbound as Gasol without the basketball IQ or trickery to use his bulk effectively.

Remember when he was playing for his NBA life and a contract? He was one of the best rim protectors in the NBA

You are right I already regret that post above I have been on the "actually Whiteside is bad" for like ten years now, this moment of weakness will haunt me.

My dream signee is Korver at this point. But he might be retired.

yeah if anyone thought Whiteside was good he wouldn't be playing on one year deals for bad teams lol, everyone understands by now that he's completely empty calories. Gonna be interesting to see if the same thing happens with Drummond once his deal is up or if he can fool people for a little longer.

I didn't realize DaQuan Jeffries was playing now but he was one of my favorite second round guys in that draft so I'm glad he's good enough to push The Big Dog's trash kid out of a job. Although Utah could probably use GR3 and has two open roster spots now.

Yeah I just saw that whoops. That sucks! He's better than several guys on the team. Their rebuild is going to go so much faster just having him already in place, if they get a top 3 pick they're gonna take off fast.

Also very bummed for Conley who blew what was probably the best chance at making an all star game of his career by getting injured and seems genuinely really sad about it, though he was still great last night. Probably gonna retire as the best player to never make one? If not he'd be way up there.

The new Simmons take is that he's the clear best non all-star ever, which is better for his legacy than if he makes it once, which makes him yet another all-star. Personally I just want all former Grit 'n' Grind players to be happy

I think he's mostly right that you probably get a better deal in the off-season and I don't think there is anyone they can use that on that would mean them getting to the ECF, much less further. It's still funny Ainge keeps trying these same tricks.

It just seems inevitable they'll use it on Horford and toss in a protected first or something, and then hope some magic happens that pushes them to the next level. I guess waiting on that for something to fall in your lap is fine but just keep loling that they tried to NBA2k trade-screen "let's keep trying to get extra first rounders" and lost Turner.

He's already the league leader in getting into the paint and super efficient lol. I really don't know how teams will be able to stop him when he's surrounded by other guys who can score
