Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 3 (Conf Finals) News Thread

Only goofballs would put Edwards over Luka right now. That’s not a slight to Edwards, either.

This type of game is why the Mavs were my Finals pick, but this series is far from over.

I was already pro-Wolves for these playoffs, but now I'm pro-Wolves fans as well.

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

Mostly because our 4th-10th players were either injured or not very good in the playoffs.

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

I will not miss it tbh. Does this mean Tuesday and Thursday are gonna be on NBC? I hope they hire some actual analysts. Yea it had its moments over the years but definitely feels like a good time to wrap it up. Inside the NBA will only end in name on TNT. There will be a new iteration of it somewhe...

Durant was much better than Booker.

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

Yeah, I don't think he was a bad pick at all. He was injured on a weird team and it always takes longer for Point Guards to figure it out.

I think any team in the league would be happy with him on their roster for the third pick in last year's draft.

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

I don't see the value designating in a lineup that "makes sense" but will never play actually play together. I think it's better see at a glance who the best 5 defenders were for that year. I don't really care what type of defender they are, just award the guys who're best at stopping thei...

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread

Are the Pacers better when McConnell is on the floor over Hali? Sometimes. Haliburton is approaching enigma territory. He never seems to pressure the defense with drives, plays like Lonzo Ball on offense. I don't like it. I just don't think he's been right since he injured his hamstring. I thought ...

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread

I'm willing to forego continuity for the sake of having a balanced roster, which is exactly what the Wolves have put together. I think most of us are, I just don't see the avenue to get there. Despite the delusion peddled in press conferences, I think Ishbia and the rest of the front office know it...

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

Seeing these teams I think it’s dumb they don’t do positions still. Both of those teams would have defensive issues. I want an all-nba(defense) team that is an actual team you could put on the court. Even if they did something like three front court, two back court players would be better without h...

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News

That's true about their cap space. I'm glad we didn't end up with Hield. I think his best days are well behind him he made nearly $20M this season. McConnell, on the other hand...

Regardless, they stayed patient and ended up with a much better player in Siakam.

I'm not anti-Bud, just anti-coach speak and especially so in the off-season.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread

But I do think a different Thunder player is a strong possibility: Gordon Hayward (next year’s EG). Agreed. He is probably a lock. I really hope not. I don't think he has much left and definitely not enough for playoff minutes. Equally as important as his age is the Suns being already essentially l...

No, I admit that I don't pay attention to that stuff. I suppose I should stop being critical even if it's in jest.

Bobby "Listen" Marks always makes me believe that anyone could work in a front office because I never seem to learn anything from his commentary.

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach

To me, "random" means not having much of a plan at all, which is what I saw for most of the season.
