AND doc calls offensive plays and is known for being super good at it ffs

yeah there are def teams with de facto offensive or defensive coordinators but that's bcuz the head coach is particularly strong in one of those areas

Haha I didn't say that Doc wasn't good at calling offensive plays just pointing out another quality Doc was known for

with Kidd tho I doubt there was an expectation that he would be diagramming plays and stuff. but what you definitely need is a philosophy on both sides that shapes your identity as a team.
all the good teams have this. everything funnels down from that on both sides. the nets are just totally disorganized on both sides. it's beyond simply the plays.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 23 November 2013 18:44 (ten years ago) link
you could say it manifests itself in the plays
― lag∞n, Saturday, 23 November 2013 18:48 (ten years ago) link
yeah. i mean they had 7 assists on 31 made shots last night. that's a utter lack of system, a total ground up problem. just guys out there winging it on every possession.

Torn meniscus for Rose
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 23 November 2013 22:27 (ten years ago) link
yeah but they're pretty deep. a team with joe johnson, KG, PP etc shouldn't be playing like this UNLESS the latter two are totally cooked in which case the problems run much deeper

u realize Joe Johnson is pretty much cooked himself right

forgive me if this is a stupid question: right now toronto (0.462) are above chicago (0.545) in the standings. why is this? is there something else used to rank teams other than pct? this is something i've noticed a few times in the past.

Meniscus ain't a death sentence. Depends on the severity I guess tho

I've done it (partial tear), kinda weird feeling. Kept playing after and played on it for another 6 months before surgery. Would get random shots of pain just sitting at my desk and shifting positions.

from what i hear rose tore the medial meniscus, which from what i understand is a less severe injury than if he'd torn the lateral meniscus. not sure how long it would take him to recover, they'd probably treat him with kid gloves once again. was this the same injury as westbrook?

Rose will need surgery, but the injury is not unlike the one suffered by Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook during last year’s playoffs. Westbrook tore the lateral meniscus in his left knee and later needed cleanup surgery, but he appears no worse for wear during his particular comeback. Chicago won’t know if Rose will be out for the season until the surgery is performed, but there is a sound chance he could return this season.

Honestly, strategically handing out DNP-OLDs every four or five games probably helps more than limiting minutes throughout the season. Bosh and Bron are enough to fall back on if/when they did decide to start resting him, too. He's been so hit-or-miss for the last few seasons, but he can still have a jaw-dropping quarter here or there.
Love Brett Brown on the sidelines btw.
