I try to avoid getting upset about moves that look stupid in hindsight. There were some risks with the moves we made, and obviously we ended up on the wrong side in both cases,but that’s how things go sometimes. I don’t think either move was terrible at the time.
I know I am way late, but it is taking time to get through the old threads as I was gone for a week.INFORMER wrote: ↑Sat Dec 29, 2018 11:29 pmTwo things here:The Bobster wrote: ↑Sat Dec 29, 2018 9:32 pmThey don't look to him with any regularity though, and the entry passing on this team is abysmal.
Denver didn't take Ayton out of the game in the 3rd quarter, Booker, Warren and ultimately Igor did.
1. Inability to find big men plaguing the entire game of basketball. I see it so often in college basketball how often guards fail to find big men in the post or on pick and roll/pop. It is side effect of this era of launch threes at will. It's like everyone missed that in addition to being able to find QUALITY looks from 3, the 7SOL offense (Nash) was superb at getting the ball to the rolling big man (Amar'e) or feeding the big in the post on switches (Diaw and Tim Thomas, circa 2006).
2. This is one of the things I hate about our collection of wings: too little passing ability, poor defense, and hardly any rebounding.
There is no way, even with the worst record, we will win the lottery again. Because I am a masochist, I ran through the tankathon simulation a few times. We came away with the 6th pick 5 times as often as the 1st. I know it is just an odds machine, and the odds are flatter than before. But right now 5 teams have 12 wins or less. ATL (12), CHI/NYK/PHX (10), CLE (8). It is reasonable to expect we could end up anywhere between 1 and 5. The 5th team has a 27% chance of picking 7th... and a 10% of 1st. They could pick as late as 9th.
We could come out of this season with only the 9th pick? Fuck that's gross.Indy wrote:There is no way, even with the worst record, we will win the lottery again.
