honestly think we could lean a little harder into KP in the post. not that we should run our whole offense through there, obviously, but it’s a nice counter to have and i feel like we’re leaving a little bit of food on the table there— he was at 3.4 post-ups per game last year and was still very efficient on them, even though the Wizards didn’t have anywhere near the spacing we do

the fuck did he—

You can do whatever you want forever

Steph Curry + elite defense is a viable strategy for a deep playoff run. Steph Curry + mediocre defense… not so much

holy shit

i do genuinely feel kinda bad for Magic fans. like it is what it is, but to deliver us our biggest loss of the season and then still lose the tiebreaker kinda sucks

love how this thread is full of Magic and Celtics fans all of a sudden lol

^(anyway go Nets)

all comes down to the Nets

Yeah, if I’m the Lakers, I’m trying to sell Toronto on an OG for DLo plus stuff package. They’re not as depleted of picks as they were a couple years ago. Really depends on how serious the Raptors are about holding onto OG though

Harden haters are gonna be FEASTING after this one

Especially with Jrue out, we don’t have much of an answer to small, quick guards. Trae was cooking in the first round last year too. Doesn’t matter if we lock up the rest of the team though

i mean, only 5 if Smart is also back

Hawks last season: 41-41

Hawks this season so far: 8-8

it’s just interesting

What fucking “debate?” Who is even talking about this?? They’re completely different players playing completely different positions

Giddey is the most obvious guy to use as a piece for a larger trade, but… yeah.

the Minnesota Timberwolves

It’s been TWELVE GAMES my man

yeah Chet might be an All-Star sooner than we thought

and i thought the Raptors game was ugly

seriously, i’m glad we won, but if we play like this against the Bucks on Wednesday we’re getting our shit rocked

Luke Kornet. Literally what you said there, he’s a third-stringer being treated like he’s a backup. He comes in for ten minutes a game, plays solid positional defense, and gets like four points off of lobs or putbacks. It’s not flashy, but it gets the job done well enough. Would I complain about an upgrade? Nah, but it’s not a big deal, either.
