I hope there won't be a quiz on all that.

Rebounding has shifted away from the bigs in the modern nba. Offences are very intentional about pulling bigs out of the paint and making them guard the 3pt line, and that leads to lots of shots going up with the bigs way out of position to grab a defensive rebound. On the other side of the ball it ...

I just don't understand why Toronto would do any of these trades. Are they counting on KD to get them to the playoffs by himself? Maybe they think KD will pull in better free agents? Durant, Ingram, and Barnes are all forwards, right? Feels like the Toronto offers are just a story to pressure the ...

Good breakdown of those guys, Shel. What do you think about Beringer? I don't expect Sorber to be available for us, but as you say it's tough to know where guys will land this year. I'm skeptical that Wolf's game will translate. Is there room in the NBA for a guy who does the same things as Jokic ...

What do y'all think about Ben Saraf? Seems to be a very willing passer and a confident creator. I'm not sure his handles are tight enough, or that he is quick enough to be an impact player immediately. But I'd be happy with him at 29.

I wouldn't do the Minnesota trade. Short term, Gobert is the best player coming back. Long term, there is a lot of pressure for Dillingham to develop. You can't say you traded KD for 1 pick and 2 years of Gobert. Plus, you know the Suns would use the #10 on Jase Richardson, another undersized guard ...

Department Q on Netflix is an entertaining crime drama that takes place in Scotland. 9 episodes and I just finished e8 last night. Recommended. I watched the first episode at 3am on my phone while I had the flu. All the way up to the end of e1, I thought the prosecutor and the police chief were the ...

2 thoughts: - Any Houston package HAS TO include Tari and/or Reed. - I wouldn't be opposed to keeping Vassell and starting him in the backcourt with Booker. Unlike Beal, he can defend and I'd much prefer that than running out another Tyus-type. Booker, Vassell, and Jase Richardson? I wouldn't hate ...

You guys slamming new GM Brian Gregory aren't taking his secret weapon into account! Yvette. Plus, as we all know, the best NBA news comes from Motorcycle Sports. Brian Gregory brings Phoenix Suns new hope with Yvette, the quiet architect of his success https://motorcyclesports.net/brian-gregory ...

I don't think Utah will trade Markannen. They are one of the franchises that seems to always need a white star. Since this is the internet, I'll argue for the trade anyway. I do think he is significantly different from Durant. KD is best with the ball in his hands, and LM is best playing off the ...

Bud was a very good coach earlier in his career. Something happened in Milwaukee and they mysteriously fired him after recent success. I guess it's less of a mystery now. Bud is a shell of his former self. Edit: That brings us back to Shel's most consistent gripe with Ishbia's front office. They don ...

I 100% thought it was a great deal at the time… felt Paul was washed and Beal would thrive getting out of Washington and be willing to embrace whatever roll we needed of him. Same. And I still don't think willingness is Beal's real problem. Now I think he just doesn't create meaningful offense. He c ...

Milwaukee needs to compensate us for that if we do it. It doesn’t help us financially at all and Dame may never play again. I think there’s a chance Beal accepts a buyout. He’s still a useful player, just not 50 million. I think he could maybe get 10-12 million per year from someone, so could see hi ...

Not disliking his time here it was good while Paul was here, but I'm not sad he's gone, he's still under .500 for his career. He's nothing special, Paul was the engine, not Monty. They were really good with Rubio, too. Monty was a good fit for Book and the core of the roster, and fit is 70% of the ...

This chart is really striking. NBA teams just can't help themselves; the only thing they feel they can do when they have a "bad" season is fire their coach. Look at this chart! Only a handful of teams have even had the same coach since 2020. IMO this indicates widespread mismanagement. Apparently ...

I guess Booker is giving input into the coaching search. I get that as a show of respect for our franchise player. But I hope they don't just let him pick a loosey goosey "player friendly" coach when it seems like we need a bit of a kick in the ass. ... I don't think that's Booker's style. He has ...

You guys aren’t wrong, but you’re still trying to build a contender over night…we aren’t going to win a championship next year…just build a fun team that plays hard. Plus, whatever young guys we do get will develop better on a 45 win team with an identity than they would on a 45 win team that is coa ...

PG13 for Beal makes sense for both teams because it lets both front offices look like they are trying to improve the roster while staying competitive. It wouldn't actually help either team, and both fan bases would end up feeling that they got the bad end of the deal. It's a perfect fit for the two ...

OMG let the old guys retire.

The NBA is going to continue to have rating problems if they can't figure out how to market to people who don't remember the 90's.
