injuries happen and theyre def a p thin team, prob just have to hope theyre all healthy for the playoffs and can make a run

lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:26 (ten years ago) link

so is bogut xp, w those two on the floor together we can hang w anyone

Spottie, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:26 (ten years ago) link

one cool thing w being top heavy tho is that theyre built for the playoffs where starters play big minutes and have time to rest, like last night when they went down big it was cause jackson inexplicably put his entire bench in at once

lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:27 (ten years ago) link

also jermaine oneal loss was kinda big, and festus is out till at least all star break so there is no backup center atm

Spottie, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:28 (ten years ago) link

i wld say iggy is an elite defender, bogut is formerly elite has lost some mobility but is still very good, klay is good, curry is prob below average, and lee is the worst defender in the nba except maybe ray allen

lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:30 (ten years ago) link

you cant expect oneal to stay healthy for more than three games just let that one go, unless youre the suns of course

lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:31 (ten years ago) link

prob fair

Spottie, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:31 (ten years ago) link

tell it to me straight my brain is twisted, havent ever had expectations you see

Spottie, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:32 (ten years ago) link

when he played on the celtics it was comical, i have no idea how he does it, there was a new minor injury every game he played

lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:32 (ten years ago) link

he old n broken

Spottie, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:33 (ten years ago) link

the warriors are a cool ass team, they have a bunch of really good young players, if they manage the situation right they shd be good for a while

lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:33 (ten years ago) link

they're prob gonna have to decide between klay and barnes at some point

Spottie, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:35 (ten years ago) link

between *paying

Spottie, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:35 (ten years ago) link

lol trade barnes now imho

lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:39 (ten years ago) link

people arent going to belive hes good for too much longer

lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:39 (ten years ago) link

i think jackson uses him poorly... they give him too much responsibility

le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:43 (ten years ago) link

he shouldn't be the number one option on bench units and shouldn't be getting post up isos in crunch time

le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:43 (ten years ago) link

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

le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:44 (ten years ago) link

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

le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:51 (ten years ago) link

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

lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:52 (ten years ago) link

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

rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:56 (ten years ago) link

:( polyphonic where u at?

Spottie, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:56 (ten years ago) link

F u bison not every one can have pop as coach f u

Spottie, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:57 (ten years ago) link

yes they can, hire his replicants like atl and philly did

rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Thursday, 26 December 2013 19:05 (ten years ago) link

cool was wondering where mike browns next job would be

lag∞n, Thursday, 26 December 2013 19:22 (ten years ago) link

:( polyphonic where u at?

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*

rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Thursday, 26 December 2013 20:41 (ten years ago) link

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

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 26 December 2013 23:54 (ten years ago) link

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
