gonna be honest i still don’t understand why the celtics didn’t want to trade hayward for myles turner

hysterical ending
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 24 December 2020 02:55 (three years ago) link
xp one theory that has been floated locally that i can at least somewhat understand is that the celtics place a huge premium on their big men setting a ton of good screens, and turner is reputationally a terrible screener.

that second free throw had no chance the second he released it. you could tell.

watching thiess clank threes in crunch time while being left open by 12 feet i might disagree with the celtics on what they value in bigs

Love Jrue on the Bucks. Exact kind of player they need, mentality-wise.

xp yeah i'm with you but they do set a ridiculous amount of screens with the 5 every game. it's just a factor to consider. as much as you or i like him the rest of the league clearly is not breaking down the door to acquire myles turner.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 24 December 2020 03:06 (three years ago) link
the bucks have a lot of guys in their rotation where i’m like.... man, i guess
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 24 December 2020 03:10 (three years ago) link
my read why they didnt want to trade for turner is just you know salary concerns, paying gordon hayward ~$30m is already dicey, having to take back that much salary for a quality starter and whoever else they throw in to make it match and going into the luxury tax for it, i can understand why theyd rather have thompson at $9m and a big trade exemption from signing and trading hayward

yes. pretty clear they liked thompson and the trade exception more than turner.

brook lopez might be kind of done as an offensive player which isn't great for the bucks. only 4 fg attempts and 1/2 on threes tonight. he just doesn't really do much on that end anymore.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 24 December 2020 03:15 (three years ago) link
the funny thing abt brook lopez 3pt specialist is hes just not very good at it
― lag∞n, Thursday, 24 December 2020 03:18 (three years ago) link
it was really just that first season with the bucks where he was shooting 6 a game @ 36% and it was a real weapon. that's gone now.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 24 December 2020 03:20 (three years ago) link
Stoked with the Spurs performance tonight - despite having no answer to Morant, the young core has me excited. Athleticism, dunks, confident 3pt strokes, and some nice ball movement. The defence also looked a ton better than preseason, and Derrick White still to come back in. Happy holidays, hoopers!

yeah, you live with morant hitting those tough buckets in the paint, my god
― trans-panda express (m bison), Thursday, 24 December 2020 03:21 (three years ago) link
if I had one slight concern I did expect Poeltl to defend a couple of Morant's drives better but it's early, early season

i’m a big lonnie fan... crazy athlete, he’s skilled and he can do stuff on defense
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 24 December 2020 03:29 (three years ago) link
i liked the tristan signing and if they get a healthy kemba and can go kemba-smart-brown-tatum-tristan i think they’ll have a good chance. but turner looked good in the playoffs to me & trade exceptions are overrated anyway
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 24 December 2020 03:33 (three years ago) link
lonnie in transition was a marvel, and his catch and shoot from 3 is very reliable. spurs played 9 dudes and 7 of them were in double figures. every starter had at least 16 pts and >50% shooting.
― trans-panda express (m bison), Thursday, 24 December 2020 03:42 (three years ago) link
i'm sorry i just have to vent for a second, there is a new feature on espn dot com where if you go to a box score page there is a tiny embedded highlight video, but it doesn't start playing right away. so i check out my box score, navigate to like three other tabs, minutes pass by, and all of a sudden i'm hearing game audio coming out of nowhere because the tiny video suddenly decided to play. wtf.

not very committed?
How committed are the Blazers to improving their defense? Coach Terry Stotts brought in Jim Boylen, the former Chicago Bulls head coach, to consult with staff for three weeks. https://t.co/TrLQsUg95W— Jason Quick (@jwquick) December 23, 2020

that article about the blazers defense is really weird. they play their scheme well enough so with better personnel this year why not just give it a shot? the defense boylen used in chicago is gimmicky as hell and would never work in the playoffs.
also why is terry stotts' job always in danger? i don't think there's a ton of untapped potential in this team.

he's been there longer than you'd think so I guess there's the classic "risk of losing the locker room" thing but the only dudes there with him most of the time are dame and cj and they're not gonna suddenly dip at this stage
