yeah theres something that's so irksome about it when it happens. it would be like an MLB player leaning into a pitch for a cheap base
― frogbs, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 03:49 (two years ago) link
otm, that’s a great comparison that captures why it is so soul-crushing to see it happening all the time. If they can consistently no-call those I would think they’ll actually disappear pretty quick.
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 03:52 (two years ago) link
Funny to see what a reflex it is for Curry. I agree it will disappear if no-called/called on the offense. Good riddance!

Wiggins: “I had a bad reaction a few years to Tylenol and since then I haven’t wanted to take anything. Let stuff heal naturally. … In this case, I had covid and it wasn’t that bad.

yeah i'd be tempted to try this too if i were thinking about his actual value but all you do in this case is piss off the player

interesting that the gms prefer giannis to gobert so srongly when goberts getting all the award votes, dray also robbed tho its kind of understandable as hes not at the stage in his career anymore where he brings it every night
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:00 (two years ago) link
to be clear i would throw gobert in the trash hes a liability
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:02 (two years ago) link
on defense?
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:07 (two years ago) link
yeah i mean it starts with him not being able to do anything on offense which then allows teams to go small on him and pull him away from the basket on D where hes not great
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:10 (two years ago) link
i think giannis is better either way but gobert at 2 is fine
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:10 (two years ago) link
jazz have done great with him obvs but players like him have kind of been solved
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:11 (two years ago) link
the contrast between him and ayton in the offs was telling, ayton can punish you for going small and moves his feet better on the perimeter, where rudy was just getting wrecked in both of those situations
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:12 (two years ago) link
surely theres some value to your team getting 50 wins every year with a medium roster even if you need other guys to win you games in the offs
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:14 (two years ago) link
idk you need your stars to be good in the playoffs its kinda the whole deal, hes basically a guy who plays very well in his system but is too easy to scheme against to be getting defense player of the year consideration IMHO
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:17 (two years ago) link
giannis and dray type guys is what you want super physical players who run around blowing up plays guarding everyone doing everything

simmons is like that too except it would be better if he liked basketball

After these playoffs I’d probably vote Jrue tbh

xp nvm!
i think the thing these playoffs showed about gobert is that you can’t really separate his offense from his defense. one of the main issues the jazz had vs the clippers is that gobert was such a non threat on offense that the clippers felt like they didn’t need to put anyone taller than 6’ 8” on the floor. even in terms of offensive rebounding they didn’t care. ayton can move his feet on defense & all that which is obv important but he also needed to be accounted for on the other end of the floor, and it’s not like he shoots the ball or anything. but he could get his own bucket from within 2-3 feet, make FTs and hurt you enough on the offensive glass. the suns and jazz both got into shootouts with the clippers where their center’s defense didn’t really matter all that much, but the suns had an offensive weapon at that position where the jazz were basically playing 4 on 5 on both ends
