Wow, missed a free throw but ok I guess

Ho Lee Shit

Ok Moriah cool off

Adams is the anomaly here. One box outs, but it’s even more drastic when you only consider his DREBs vs his defensive rebounding impact. He’s the best OREB guy in the league.

I think Sabonis is also a good rebounder, just in a more traditional way. It’s a more difficult case to make, just on data, that a guy getting a lot of rebs isn’t a good rebounder. It’s just kind of rare. But some data like contested rebounds and adjusted on/off stuff can help

Only for my team

Same guy it’s been for a while: JV

Can’t believe everyone missed out on getting Poole last year when they could have gotten wemby

I’m just so confused. The only people who had concerns about this team were haters who don’t watch games. Why are they so bad?

I’ve heard high schoolers read book reports that are less robotic than that Michael Smith monologue

There’s a neat tracker for this

And you can go back to years before the award existed.

I don’t think we have any ability to predict this. It’s total circumstance. 0 people would have predicted Fox last year

This thread is gonna be a bookmark for the ages

I think Iggy might be a little biased here.

These AI videos are so unrealistic

It’s just semantics honestly. There are currently 4 contenders imo. Many outlets will pretend there are 6-8 for content purposes and many fans will buy into the hype

Idk it goes both ways. Not having a POA defender that can impact ball handlers is a big issue

I know this is overreactions and I’m all for it, but I actually think Memphis will be kinda ok. And it might even give Bane a chance to grow some. JJJ is just a menace defensively and I think Tillman is savvy enough to kinda hold it down next to him

gets cooked on defense

“Let me go get some shots in post game”

The negative case is that he’s prob the only guy here who isn’t a lock for starter / closing 5. But CP is still very very good and not consistently losing those minutes, much less winning them, would make a pretty big wins difference

I’m kinda bullish on CP3’s effect just because if the Warriors can play the non-Steph minutes even just even, then that’s a huge boost.

I still have hopes for Zhaire, he’s had a nice preseason too

Bless for taking Bledsoe
