to hardens credit he is a great playmaker and if he decides to just run the pick and roll w embiid into the ground which is what he should absolutely do then its gonna be pretty tough on the rest of the league, if he instead just dribbles an bunch and takes stepbacks well lol
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:30 (two years ago) link
putting embiid in the pick and roll instead of the post could help with his conditioning issues too, could see a situation where harden and embiid are both reformed and playing good team ball but then revert back to their bad habits at the end of a playoff game and get bounced lol

leaving shooters open is generally not a thing good teams are in to idk
― lag∞n, Thursday, February 10, 2022 2:28 PM (one second ago)
the bucks and the heat are 30th and 28th respectively in the league in opponent 3 point attempts allowed per 100 possessions, that's the style of defense both they play and it's generally worked out pretty well for them. no team that plays the sixers in the playoffs is going to stick to their shooters and just let harden and embiid beat them (if such a thing is even possible). they're going to make the other guys beat them w/ open threes, it seems pretty obvious to me. now if you think they have the talent to do so that's cool -- i disagree.

um wow. sure hope the mavs are managing to get kuzma and/or KCP out of that deal
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:42 (two years ago) link
the wiz also traded trez to the hornets, beal is out for the season & porzingis is also hurt and of course never healthy. about to be one of the great half-season tanks in nba history
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:43 (two years ago) link
just because the heat and bucks give up more open threes than most teams doesnt mean theyre like ah fuck those guys who shoot 35-40% who cares, it just means their defense is tilted a little more towards the paint, and it is worth noting that both teams have gotten burned a lot by that approach, bucks did eek out a title with giannis going absolutely nuclear but coach bud was all but out the door before that

maybe they think pritchard and or nesimth are ready for minutes idk, i mean they do need a third big but not as much as they need what schroder does, on the other hand theis is a beloved celtic
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 February 2022 20:05 (two years ago) link
i guess if you get theis then brown can spend more time at guard and its ok idk, go with big lineups more, which tbf their starting lineup has been killing people so maybe theyre thinking you can play horf as a fulltime 4 now

really relieved the wolves didn't try to make some win-now move and shake things up for a team that pretty much has a first-round exit as the ceiling, this group has really good vibes and is getting better together. i'd rather just see how it goes and assess in the offseason.
