a better offensive coach would use barnes better and his numbers would probably reflect that
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:44 (ten years ago) link
the guy's 6' 8" and athletic and can shoot i wouldn't be looking to trade him just put him in a better position to succeed
he just seems like one of those super athletic guys who has no idea how to use his athleticism, but yeah interest in post ups is another way in which jackson has no idea whats goin on in todays nba
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:45 (ten years ago) link
smh trade him to the spurs, we know what to do
― rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:46 (ten years ago) link
yeah barnes def doesn't seem like he quite understands how to play
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:47 (ten years ago) link
like steals and blocks generally coordinate highly with athleticism but he gets almost none, he just might not be much of a player you know
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:47 (ten years ago) link
ha i was just thinking if there would be a material difference b/w barnes and kawhi if they had switched places at the start of their careers
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:48 (ten years ago) link
he looks p wooden and passive just not in the flow, was also not that good in college
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:48 (ten years ago) link
i mean there will always be a place for a big athletic wing who can shoot but i def think hes way overvalued right now
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:49 (ten years ago) link
ya i mean we have 3.5 years of disappointing high level basketball from him now
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:51 (ten years ago) link
i'm not sure you could really get anything in a trade for him tho unless you took another team's ill fitting young player
2nd rd pick, maybe some cash and nando de colo, lets get harrison barnes over here, he just needs the right setting its ok
― rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:51 (ten years ago) link
i bet there are a bunch of gms out there who still value him pretty highly
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:52 (ten years ago) link
i mean i doubt youd get as high a pick as was spent on him but if you were clever you could prob put something p good together
Idk it's only his second year and he is in a new role this year
― Spottie, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:53 (ten years ago) link
sry spottie ilh hates harrison barnes theres nothing that can be done, rip harrison barnes
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:55 (ten years ago) link
rip harrison, spurs trade imminent

cool was wondering where mike browns next job would be
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 19:22 (ten years ago) link
He definitely isn't the right guy to be the heater off the bench. He doesn't have that kind of game imo. But his overall stats for the year aren't bad despite his recent struggles. I can't say I've noticed him on defense lately. Kind of invisible.

mike brown not a true replicant, not enough time incubating as an assistant, old pre-web 2.0 pre-cloud pre-tablet pre-adv stats pre-chip england era spurs tech installed
― rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Thursday, 26 December 2013 20:37 (ten years ago) link
only thing mike brown learned was defense is impt and tim duncan makes this job easy
― rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Thursday, 26 December 2013 20:38 (ten years ago) link
oh man mike brown disowned, harsh
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 20:40 (ten years ago) link
he has been disgracing his spurs alumni status 4 almost a decade, time to revoke his spurs *jingles*

tonight's schedule is like 5 times better than the Xmas day schedule, great job everybody at NBA HQ

I think Mark Jackson is a dipshit and an asshole but I haven't seen anything that makes me think he isn't a good coach
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 26 December 2013 23:56 (ten years ago) link
i haven't seen too much that makes me think he is a good coach either though
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Friday, 27 December 2013 00:16 (ten years ago) link
i think he might be fine and is probably improving but he also might just be proving the scotty brooks corollary (get more than one top 20 or one top 5 guy and look good)
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Friday, 27 December 2013 00:17 (ten years ago) link
actually per discussion above that might be the mike brown corollary
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Friday, 27 December 2013 00:18 (ten years ago) link
remember back when shaq would brag about how he got randos like damon jones fat contracts well lebron has gotten mike brown two coaching gigs and counting
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Friday, 27 December 2013 00:19 (ten years ago) link
well the media's (short-term) hatred of Lebron is more like it
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 27 December 2013 00:21 (ten years ago) link
remember when people thought the Cavs would contend for the playoffs without LBJ
hah yeah so much anthony parker and ramon sessions jeez that team was trash

charles is saying that blake needs to start fighting people or else they're gonna keep punking him
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Friday, 27 December 2013 01:10 (ten years ago) link
which is great that he can say that on tv
with advice like that, barkley will soon replace jeff ireland as dolphins gm.

hollinger definitely crying while watching this game tonight
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Friday, 27 December 2013 01:35 (ten years ago) link
should we start a kickstarter to pay someone to rip the ball away from CP3 right after a game ends
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 27 December 2013 01:39 (ten years ago) link
Lol James Johnson torched Lin and the next time down was like hey there's another guard who doesn't play defense out here let me go around him too *blows by harden for a dunk*
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Friday, 27 December 2013 02:03 (ten years ago) link
some really ugly kyrie hero ball tonight, waiters is definitely punching him in the face later tonight

Jon Leuer's midrange J is some gorgeous stuff
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 27 December 2013 02:58 (ten years ago) link
yeah i find it weird that he's still end of bench fodder even for memphis
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Friday, 27 December 2013 02:58 (ten years ago) link
he must be unbearably bad on defense
but in a world where channing frye is making $30 million......

harden backlash has reached the big time
Haralabos Voulgaris @haralabob 7mSlowly starting to come around to the “harden plays a gimmick brand of basketball” camp. Appreciate the value, but horrible to watch.

Leuer hasn't really shown that he can handle a big workload from 3. 3s>>>2s.
