People are just looking for anything to bag on Thibodeau. I've said it here a million times, Minnesota's offense is built to get a switch and isolate the mismatch. Sometimes that iso is posting up KAT on a wing. Sometimes, it's isolating wiggins or butler or teague on the wing against a big. The first clip shows Capela and Harden switching, Capela ending up on Wiggins with an option to post KAT on Harden. What is better offense: trying to get a post entry around Capela's wing span to post up KAT on a smaller but still very good post defender, or clearing KAT out and having Wiggins drive and kick on Capela? The latter every time.

Utah's offense looks like moist poo poo when they play big. Derek favors is in the corner and guys are playing off him like he's asking them for spare change. Their pick and roll looks like the three stooges trying to go through a doorway at the same time. These thoughts brought to by watching games days after they happen and no one to discuss them with.

Now I've caught up with most of the playoff games , and I have to say these games are all awful, even the teams that arent unwatchable on purpose like boston. Only the Pelicans and the rockets have been watchable. Giving coaches time to prepare for an opponent ruins the game.

This season has seen a huge increase in stats with completely arbitrary cutoffs. I look back nostalgically to the days where I would mostly have to yell at people about triple doubles.

paternity suitor posted:This isn't exactly playoffs N/V but I was thinking of this last night while I was watching the Sixers. Who are some of the best examples of guys developing jump shots and respectable 3P shooting later in their career? The two most recent examples I can think of are Horford and Brook Lopez. These are guys who literally didn't make a 3P for many seasons, and then in their late 20's starting making them. Blake Griffen is another guy who came to mind, although he at least made a few early in his career. Obviously a big part of it is that the league has changed. Chris Webber was a guy I remember getting better at his abysmal FT% but with the league being what it was, he was never going to start jacking 3's. Webber was always a good mid range shooter though (at least in my memory). There's a difference between developing a three point shot out of nothing and starting to shoot 3-pointers when you were already a decent shooter from mid-range. Horford is an example of the latter, Brook is a good example of the former. There are far more of the latter than the former. Bigs are different than wings because they almost always take their shots off the catch and don't create their own jumpers. Wings who develop 3-pointers are very rare and the ones who do like Jason Kidd do it by taking only the easiest 3-pointers off the catch. Kyle Lowry is an example of a player who really extended his jump shooting range to the three-point line, and learn to shoot toughest 3-pointers off the dribble.

Salvor_Hardin posted:I'm curious for your thoughts on Jaylen and his development if you can share. I didn't like him coming out of the draft because he couldn't finish and he couldn't shoot. He still can't finish, not a good sign for an athlete. I don't believe in his shooting improvement, but there's a real good chance I'm wrong on this. Hell there's a good chance I'm wrong about everything about him.

Ghost Dog posted:im pretty far down on dudes who cant create their own shot. he just dunks the ball on shots other people create. I hear this a lot, but there's only like three players who can go up and get any pass anywhere near the rim and finish in traffic. Catching lobs is an elite skill, or else everybody would be doing it. It's far easier to throw the lob than to finish it, people should be bagging on Harden for being gifted easy assists.

I'm gonna plug my basketball camp where I tell everyone they suck and the only way they can improve is to run the floor and shoot with a hand literally in your face and play for a 2nd division team in a country where the first division isn't good.

I don't know how anyone can watch and listen to a live broadcast when there are better options available. I watch games the following day without commercials and without sound, while listening to my phone read me history books aloud. I am so next gen it's not even close.

this is something that gets overlooked a lot. when a gm gets hired he wants to bring in his own coach, just like a coach wants to bring in his own assistants. this is not only because he wants a coach he knows he can work with, but also someone he hopes is loyal to him because he got him hired. gms and coaches sometimes undermine each other to the ownership, so anybody would want to reduce that risk. gms sometimes make it a condition of their hiring that they get to pick their coach. doesn't seem like that was the case with colangelo, just given the timing, but he would still almost certainly would rather have a coach in place that owes him for getting him hired. but if the owners really like the coach, this may not be a fight you'd want to have, particularly if your number one goal is to keep your job.
