DireWolfSpirit Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 So in Motown the 2nd unit additions of Markief Morris, D.Rose are getting plenty of minutes with Blake G. and Reggie J. on IR. Must say D.Rose has been very impressive, he's extremely efficient and dude can still ball. Looking forward to seeing the team with Drummond, D.Rose, Kennard and Griff all healthy.

Argonath Diver Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 They looked good. Outplayed my Bulls other than missing 3s. I've been up and down on my opinions of Rose as a player and a person for his whole career. Currently I'm enjoying this iteration of his playstyle. Still uses some athleticism but much more crafty moves and smart shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought he was going to a very good pro after watching his career at MSU. He was every bit as impressive as Draymond Green as a Spartan, weird how different players translate from college to pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he definitely looked like a keeper in college and I thought he'd become a fringe starter. He was pretty exasperating as a Bull, and I kinda wish he played elsewhere.

The accumulated miles from all those deep playoff runs finally caught up to them. Probably not coincidentally, LeBron and Love also missed a lot of games last year with injury, although with Love he was definitely held out longer than he needed to be since the Cavs were tanking.

Relic Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Enjoying seeing some of the weaker teams in the league in the last few years playing better with the help of new talent. It's been a fun start to the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I hate NBA refs, I hate NBA refs, I hate NBA refs, I hate NBA refs, I hate NBA refs, Wtf is a flagrant three pointer????

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 This is amazing. Some guy took the time to track Harden's road performances and correlated them with the quality of the city's strip clubs. TL:DR, he's at his worst in Miami and best at Toronto. Miami has the highest rated strip clubs while Toronto has the lowest. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Knicks beat the Mavs tonight. LOL. I can't muster an ounce of interest in the Knicks anymore, they have finally beaten it out of me, but that's a funny fucking win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really unfortunate as he was reportedly rounding back into form before this latest setback. I think that its fair to determine from the examples of PG to Kawhi to Hayward that these serious injuries take at least two years to fully recover from even if they manage to get back on the court after a year. If this holds, KD and Klay will probably also be unable to reach peak form for another year. 19 hours ago, Triskele said: Fairly brutal start for Portland where I wonder if it's time to worry. Especially with the West having all of these teams that didn't even make playoffs last year like Dallas, Sacramento, Phoenix, and maybe Minnesota seeming on the upswing. Zach Collins out four freaking months with shoulder injury. They need Nurkic back badly now. I think Sacramento has been doing poorly from what I read. They seem to like to fire coaches regardless of their success. Anyway, its still early in the season and all of these teams could fall off the pace. Also, Harden managed to keep Houston alive last year singlehandedly. I'm sure Portland could manage a playoff spot. I haven't watched any games this season. Can't work up the interest.

DireWolfSpirit Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 So Boston will end up with Hayward for 81 games over these 3 yrs of contract 2017-19. They still have him signed for one more year before he become a FA for 2021, dude will be collecting a shit ton of guaranteed money and be a significant cap hit. Gotta be so exasperating for the Celts situation. Gordon Hayward signed a 4 year / $127,829,970 contract with the Boston Celtics, including $127,829,970 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $31,957,493. In 2019-20, Hayward will earn a base salary of $32,700,690, while carrying a cap hit of $32,700,690 and a dead cap value of $32,700,690.

DireWolfSpirit Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Yeah Kemba would be my choice over Isiah T or Kyrie so thats progress in their backcourt at least. Speaking of progress my Pistons are getting Blake Griffin back for his season debut tomorrow night against Minnesota so hopefully that'll make them more effective. They've held on going 4-6 with him out. Hoping Rose could go to but he's been out a few games lately as well. These guys can still play but Detroit will definitely need to manage minutes with thier 30+ yr olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Selig Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hayward is only expected to miss 6 weeks, his fracture is pretty minor apparently. Still a shame since he finally looked back to his best before it happened, but it could have been much worse. Anyway, Doncic has been killing it this year. I can't recall another player who saw this game so well and had these kind of elite ballhandling and passing skills at his age. He doesn't look his age at all, his decisionmaking is unreal. And his stepback 3 is lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Andrew Wiggins, please stop trying to suck me back in. He's been on a tear as of late and is finally rebounding and assisting like we thought he could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, Wall still owns that title, and I can think of other worse contracts. The one thing I've always held out on with Wiggins is his coaching situation and it seems like it's finally improved. Year 1: Coach 1 who doesn't want to be a coach. Year 2: Coach 2 hates him. Years 3, 4 and part of 5: Coach 3, worst I've ever seen. Since Coach 3 was fired, pretty solid player because Coach 4 likes him, wants him to succeed and knows how to get through to him while finally introducing a modern style of basketball.

Coaching makes a big difference. The Cavs were horrendous last year. This year, basically the same roster, team looks competitive and competent. I know Love missing most of last year played a part in their struggles, but I read lots of insider stuff about how they didn't even really run an actual offense last year and this season it's night and day.
