can’t think of a player in the league who has a wider gap between how good he seems he should be and how good he actually is than lauri markannen. everything looks good but then the shots just.... never go in. like, ever

He’s at 48/40 splits but something is definitely off with his game

gotta hand it to Chris Paul I was one of the naysayers who thought he'd be out of the league by now

MPJ at 25.7 ppg on 55/54/82 since the Jamal injury. Turns 23 this summer and missed almost 2 full years of games during important developmental ages.— Ross Homan (@Ross_homan1) April 27, 2021

yeah this season is a bummer now but I'm super sanguine on his future. gordon is still a mystery to me but it seems to be working
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 27 April 2021 14:14 (three years ago) link
prob take gordon a minute to figure out how to operate as more of a secondary system player where his whole career in orlando it was kind of just do whatever, tho i think his ideal role on the nuggs is pretty obvious and normal so he should get there
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 15:38 (three years ago) link
being selectively aggressive is tricky, requires good quick judgement
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 15:47 (three years ago) link
he’s also never been a very good offensive player, doesn’t possess any exceptional skills aside from leaping ability, which is why being the fourth or fifth best offensive player in a line up was a good fit for him. he’s probably overstretched now tho his three point shooting will prob tick back up
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 April 2021 15:57 (three years ago) link
saw some in depth breakdown of his numbers and it basically came down to in pretty much every situation hes really bad at creating for himself but otherwise pretty good, so denver should be a great fit
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 16:02 (three years ago) link
and on defense hes pretty much exactly what they need
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 16:05 (three years ago) link
if mjp can realize his defensive potential they could be great together roaming around switching and whatnot

Malone said something a few weeks ago about how Gordon was feeling worn down and he was trying to limit his minutes a bit, seems like maybe he’s pushed through that
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 22:40 (three years ago) link
I don’t really know what to say about how well MPJ is playing. He seems to have a chase down block in every game now and just absolutely shoots the shit out of the ball.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 22:42 (three years ago) link
shooting the shit out of the ball is maybe the best single thing you can do in nba
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 22:43 (three years ago) link
I was told the dunk was better, by you iirc. You’ll have to make up your mind.
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Tuesday, 27 April 2021 22:48 (three years ago) link
the world famous dunk... *nervously* is a type of shot
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 22:49 (three years ago) link
Hmm idk about all that
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Tuesday, 27 April 2021 22:51 (three years ago) link
in all seriousness dunks are still the best but theyre too hard to get how many points can one score off dunks in a game like 8, you can get 20+ from the 3 point shot alone, so while the dunk is still the best shot, shooting the shit out of the ball is maybe a better all around behavior, unless youre zion

wilt dunked 50 times in a single game to famously achieve 100 points and then created the 💯 emoji, one simply needs imagination

damn... something to think about

you can tell the regular season should have ended two weeks ago because the biggest story right now is the knicks having a team roughly as good as any of several recent indiana pacers teams

the warriors rotation right now is really awful and i say this as a celtics fan
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 02:38 (three years ago) link
Two rotation guys out (Lee, bazemore) with covid related stuff and paschal has been out for a few weeks with a leg thing. Dubs are just your average 500 club. Can beat anyone on any given night but can also get blown out. It is weird that Oubre and Wiggins have basically had zero games where they both play well. It’s always one or the other... or neither like tonight

such an odd season, we're only 60+ games in and yes, it feels like the cream is fully separated and all that needs to be done is to jump into the playoffs before there are injuries and yet we're still not playing the full 82. Then we do playins before playoffs? Curious to see if the standard leap in intensity/quality of play that always accompanies the playoffs is there or if rest days didn't do enough to prepare everyone for the home stretch.

The play-in sounded fun when it was just Bill Simmons cooking up a fun though experiment. Now it just seems like a way for hopeless teams like the Warriors to hurt their players trying to get to the play-in.
― DJI, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 16:28 (three years ago) link
though=thought
im totally in on the play in. i think those games will be fun. more high stakes games please.
altho maybe next year they can just trick all the players and call the regular season 'the play-in tournament' and see what happens.
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Wednesday, 28 April 2021 16:30 (three years ago) link
"play in tournament" except its just the first round consisting of the 3-6 4-5 teams playing 5 games series to see who plays the 1-2 teams in the second round
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 16:35 (three years ago) link
actually 3 game series, be done in a week
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 16:37 (three years ago) link
i... don't like a single elimination format? too much weird stuff can happen in a single game and one turned ankle could alter a whole season. Best out of three seems more reasonable. NB: I am not a college hoops guy.
― Draymond is "Mr Dumpy" (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 28 April 2021 16:38 (three years ago) link
last year they did lower seed has to win two games higher seed just one right are they doing that again
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 16:40 (three years ago) link
i think i like the play in, there is at least some intrigue to this part of the season now also with teams trying go get to 5-6 and avoid the play in. and the games themselves should actually be fun esp in the west... from a competitive standpoint it also gives the top 5 teams the week off which adds an extra bonus for continuing to try. bcuz the schedule is compressed this year it’s maybe a bit different in terms of guys pushing themselves to play back to backs, three in five etc but once the schedule normalizes next year i don’t think there will be many if any drawbacks
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 April 2021 16:42 (three years ago) link
One of Wizards/Bulls/Toronto may wind up in the play-in at like 10 games under .500
