Brian Wright would never get bent like Pop/RC did in that Kawhi trade,tbh. (OG Anunoby would have been a Spur and zero chance Green would be a free throw-in in it).
Yeah that’s fair I can see that. I was basing it mainly on who they were as players, could never get behind whites game and his unavailability
If the spurs didn't call Kawhi's bluff he would have been fired, his teams were relevant, in the east, but they never had the juice to get over the hump.
Nah, D-White was a hooper and a winner. 6'4" and an elite rim protector, how's that generic?
Murray on that Celtics team wins a ring too. Hawks thought enough of him to give up all those picks. Hate he had an Achilles tear smh
I think the issue with Banchero is that all of the large scale impact stats point to him having very average all around efficiency for a "star," including average rebounding, below average shot blocking, & poor three point shooting, but then every time he has a good game people take that sliver of anecdotal evidence and project it as what he's going to be in the future. I just don't see it. It's not surprising that he had a few big games where he looked good, but it's also not surprising that he had one game where he was 0-9 from three, or that he finished the series with a TS% of 52.4% and a eFG% of 46.9%. I think that's who is is. Even with Duke, he had the 4th best BPM on the team, behind two guys who aren't in the NBA anymore.
Oh my god, you're one of them too.
In the playoffs?
Can't wait to see the Knicks fumble the bag again.
Wouldn't be so sure. White just has supreme basketball IQ, Dejounte, not so much. BBIQ is what separetes winners from losers. Derrick spotted what was needed out of him on that roster and he executed it perfectly. Murray would have probably tried to do too much on offense, throwing off the rythm of the team.
Hope so. Not sure Philly or Detroit has enough to beat them in a 7-game series though tbh. Would love to be wrong though.
You should be able to make a killing betting against the Lakers every game then… since their fans are so powerful they artificially move the line towards them.Oh my god, you're one of them too.
FML. Let me try that to put this in words that you'll understand:
There's a thing called public betting, which is where teams like the Lakers, the Cowboys, and the Yankees move the line with the sheer number of bets placed by the fan base. They don't have to be logical. They're homer-based bets. Also, Los Angeles is not a far drive from Las Vegas, so a lot of Lakers fans spend time there. They spend money there, and they bet on their team there.
And I literally kept Lakers off of that list as a joke. And I explained it at the time. I guess your reading comprehension is as bad as your knowledge of gambling.
Same shit tomorrow too - CLE/DET play at 6 PM CST and LA/OKC play at 7:30 CST. Maybe I'm just dumb but I really don't see why they would ever have games overlap once you move past the 1st round.
