KG and PP both seem like the kind of veterans who could emotionally detach themselves from a situation like the Nets. They won't dog it, but they won't fully commit either.

theyve had injuries too fwiw, deron tore it up the 2nd half of last year but so far he does not look at all the same
― lag∞n, Saturday, 23 November 2013 17:38 (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

i could def see this team still clicking but their ceiling in my eyes has for sure been lowered bigtim

also coaching seems like itd be pretty key as far as figuring out how to use guys on their last legs picking their spots etc
― lag∞n, Saturday, 23 November 2013 17:44 (ten years ago) link
its seeems like if deron and brook were clicking you could use pierce/johnson/garnett as shooters and they shld be able to do that but idk

Was just thinking how I was sad AK opted out of his TWolves deal but it was probably the best thing that happened to us, wouldn't have been able to sign Brewer or KMart otherwise

Scouts say that J Kidd does literally nothing, his assistants call plays on both offense and defense
I mean that's fine maybe you can be a rally kind of guy like Doc but J Kidd is not Doc
Fire Kidd and put in Frank

― lag∞n, Saturday, 23 November 2013 18:34 (ten years ago) link
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

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.

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.
