at some point i'm going to have to dig in and understand how julius randle is averaging 7 assists a game

dont get me wrong its great john wall is plying good i just was looking at his leg which is in a big brace and it doesnt seem to have a lot of get up and go in it plus i watched him land on it and grimace but he is a skilled basketball player who can still do stuff and his leg will probably improve

idk why but i feel like harden would come back to the general realm of team basketball if he was on a team that could compete for the finals. i think the consensus is that he’ll just act like a shithead permanently but he’ll have a lot to prove if he gets another shot at playing for a great team. him playing off the ball isn’t really hard to fathom from a fit perspective, it’s just a question of him trying. i think a team just needs to give him a reason to try again. he’s also putting up efficient 35 point double doubles with ease while living life like rick ross, i think i needed to be reminded how good he is
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 3 January 2021 02:41 (three years ago) link
yeah thats the thing it wouldnt take that much effort for him to play normal basketball, and its not like he doesnt care about basketball or winning he obviously cares a lot, def a big change of scenery candidate

you'd like to see him fill up the rest of the box score a bit more but the shooting/scoring is impressive
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 3 January 2021 03:02 (three years ago) link
it’s really funny that his season high in assists is 5
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 3 January 2021 03:13 (three years ago) link
he's no julius randle

rushing the start was prob not a good idea
― lag∞n, Sunday, 3 January 2021 03:19 (three years ago) link
i think it's the right move for the next 5 years but it's going to cause some pain (for us, the ball fans) in the short term

Randle has always been a good passer with a tunnel vision streak.

It’s crazy how Wiggins has been such a failure that no one even mentions him. I called it!
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 3 January 2021 03:56 (three years ago) link
Wiggins has been ok!He’s the only player shooting above normal from three. He just has like no court presence out there. Like you said, he’s an avg nba player
― Spottie, Sunday, 3 January 2021 03:59 (three years ago) link
i don't bear any ill will toward them but i admit to being morbidly fascinated in warriors fallout--like, a lot of nba coverage has been geared towards this team that isn't going to deserve it much longer. the athletic has 4 guys who basically cover the warriors full time and this is a team that is ultimately going to be about as good as the russ triple-double year thunder at best.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 3 January 2021 03:59 (three years ago) link
wiggins PER has tanked down to 11.1 which is worse than any full season he's played. he's shooting 36% on 2s.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 3 January 2021 04:04 (three years ago) link
And yet he’s been the second best player lol. It’s pain right now. Otm about the athletic dudes. I reckon they’ll leave Kawakami and thompson on the dubs and move the rest soon if they continue to play poorly.

its still v early. they are 2.5 games behind the 1 seed, still in it!

ah, crap. sorry for the formatting dumbness.
but anyway ... there is *nothing* that can happen this year (on the court) that would cost Kerr his job. right?
― alpine static, Sunday, 3 January 2021 08:42 (three years ago) link
i see him walking away before ever getting fired from that organization
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 3 January 2021 08:52 (three years ago) link
feel like things would have to get extremely weird and bad for kerr to get fired. it'd take a lot more than andrew wiggins being disapppointing. i bet steph would improve the ratings of the [*checks wikipedia*] korn ferry (???) tour.

was pretty funny explaining to my brother in law, a huge bandwagon dubs fan who had always been more into the sf baseball giants, that andrew wiggins was not that good of a basketball player, he had all these idea about how wiggins would help and so forth, at one point i said something like if i know one thing about basketball its that andrew wiggins is not good

― Spottie, Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:24 (three years ago) link
But! I do think he’s probably better than dangelo Russell, it’s pretty close tho.
― Spottie, Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:25 (three years ago) link
imo russell is better, was still a good trade on the merits, not sure if it was the ideal one for the dubs roster, but who knows what else they couldve gotten
― lag∞n, Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:27 (three years ago) link
they could end up getting a serious star in this years draft, which is cool
― lag∞n, Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:28 (three years ago) link
i still think it made sense when they thought they would have klay and needed wiggins in a true 3 and D role. overpaid obviously but he would've been more suited for that roster than rusell would have. w/ klay out they need scoring & creation so bad they prob would rather have russell tho the pick is lining up to be so valuable that even knowing everything they know now i think they would still do it
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:31 (three years ago) link
yeah agree
― lag∞n, Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:32 (three years ago) link
that pick + wiseman is looking pretty good right now, their path back to contention with the big 3 is murky tho
― lag∞n, Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:33 (three years ago) link
can you imagine what sort of haul they cld get for steph et al
― lag∞n, Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:34 (three years ago) link

was gonna say lol
― lag∞n, Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:51 (three years ago) link
tho i think he prob cldve hit some threes w a healthy roster
and hes got size so you can move him around on d
― lag∞n, Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:52 (three years ago) link
i still think he would be more likely to succeed in that kind of role than one where he is asked to use up a lot of possessions and be the first option on the second unit. his shooting stroke looks fine to me, i thought w/ klay if he was asked to mainly focus on hitting threes and being a wing defender he could have maybe found a niche for himself on a good team. that's all out the window now
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 3 January 2021 18:02 (three years ago) link
was seeing the annual "Wiggins is more focused than ever, wants to prove the doubters wrong" stories getting passed around by warriors folks on Twitter and was like oh you sweet, foolish summer child

It seems like ums is desperate to get Warriors fans to give a shit about Wiggins being bad but I could honestly care less. Just another bad player on a bad team.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Sunday, 3 January 2021 18:51 (three years ago) link
lol matt otm
wiggins is like hydroxychloroquine: a lot of promise for one reason or another out of the gate, and after it was clear the idea was a flop people keep talking themselves into it working somehow, in the right context, at the right dose... it's easier to accept that wiggins is bad if you also accept that the reasons you thought he might be good were just a mirage
