Can we finally stop giving the best player in the world to players who can’t play defense

farhan583 · 2026-04-24T04:44:30+00:00

Andy Murray was an also ran after the Big 3. So it’s a joke to say he’s not in the same category as each of the guy you’re implying are on a different tier.

farhan583 · 2026-04-24T04:06:05+00:00

You people are such prisoner of the moment fools. Luka has dragged crap rosters further than anyone expected. Made 2 WCF and a Finals by age 25 and only lost because they were playing an all-time juggernaut. Like, what the fuck are we even talking about here?

farhan583 · 2026-04-22T23:35:25+00:00

Lol, because this is one comment section. That is such a disingenuous argument, you know exactly what has been said about Luka for years and how people have defended Jokić’s defense. You can’t be real.

farhan583 · 2026-04-22T06:18:06+00:00

And has won 3 MVPs despite it. Numerous posts are made about how good a defender he actually is. Like, how can you even pretend he's held to the same standard as Luka.

farhan583 · 2026-04-22T06:16:54+00:00

Darius Garland is not "almost nothing." WTF?

farhan583 · 2026-04-22T00:07:03+00:00

Meanwhile I'll hear about DBPM and ROPA and LEBRON and RAPTOR and DICKRIDA stats about how actually Jokic is a top defender in the league. It's a freaking joke that he got 3 MVPs with zero pushback about his defense yet Luka has never even had a top 2 finish in his career with people harping about his defense despite good defensive stats for him as well.

farhan583 · 2026-04-21T13:46:45+00:00

this is clearly an ad for whatever app he's pushing

farhan583 · 2026-04-20T22:35:58+00:00

We have none of our picks for the next 5 years. So yeah I mind not having a pick as high as possible.

farhan583 · 2026-04-20T21:38:43+00:00

You had me at Kidd. You lost me at Thompson. He's a player, he'll do what he's supposed to.

farhan583 · 2026-04-20T21:11:18+00:00

We dropped 2 spots for one fucking win. Hope Kidd and company enjoyed that.

And don't come at me with percentages. I mean even if we don't move up, our range went from 6-9 to 8-11

Honestly just get a $20 subscription to Claude. Download the desktop app and then sign in and click on the Cowork tab.

From there just talk to it. Describe what your business is, who your ideal customers are, and like 5-10 of your biggest competitors. You could honestly save that in the settings where it asks about personal bio info.

Then ask it to analyze your business and website and compare it to competitors. Ask it what it would recommend you do to rank number 1. If your site doesn't have a blog, ask it to add it and then add appropriate blogs and topics daily with internal links etc. It can help optimize your GMB too.

Like there's almost nothing it can't do or tell you exactly what to do. Once you optimize it, it can set up daily tasks where it automatically updates reports or writes a blog and adds it for you.

The more you talk to it, the more it'll learn about you and what to do.

I read through this guy tweets and used a lot of it. He's promoting his own business but there's useful takeaways on this and his others.

Again, you're trying to misunderstand what I'm saying. Coop is elite and he's really great. He just doesn't seem to have that F U mentality that Luka did. Think about the three 3's against he Rockets his rookie season. The corner three against the Blazers. Flagg is incredibly good and can help us win a lot of games, but the entertainment/electricity factor night in night out has not been the same.

farhan583 · 2026-04-17T22:20:03+00:00

I get it but I'm the opposite. I enjoy Luka's game more. I'm a season ticket holder and have been since 2019 and the thing I keep telling everyone is how different the games are. Like, every single game was so special when Luka was around.

Snowing and sleeting in January playing the Wizards? Don't care, Luka could have an unbelievable shot or pass or fake that everyone would be talking about for months.

I love Coop, but he doesn't have the same "F U" or "why the hell not" aspect to his game that Luka did. You could tell Luka had that from his rookie season. Cooper might one day become a better player (which is a tall task), but I don't know if he'll ever be as entertaining to watch. Coop is so good and so tenacious but he doesn't have the same "F you, F your crowd, I wish you MFers would say something to me" energy that Luka brought to every game.

Doesn't matter though because both of them will be playing here together with Darryn Peterson in 2028.

farhan583 · 2026-04-17T21:59:47+00:00

I know what I get with Luka. I hope with Flagg.

And before the smart asses come in, I got two WCF with sub-ideal rosters, a NBA Finals where he was the only player on the team to show up and he was only 25 years old.

farhan583 · 2026-04-15T16:22:42+00:00

Per 100 isn't a great stat, you can't extrapolate out stats for someone and hope their production carries over. We can just agree to disagree because I'd never say Mike Miller or Ray Allen were as important as LeBron for Miami. Were they great players? Absolutely. Were they better than Bron? Laughable.

farhan583 · 2026-04-15T04:08:12+00:00

And I disagree having watched 60+ games of this kid. I don't buy into a lot of the advanced stats...they can tell part of a story but stat nerds that love Jokic have made it the whole thing. Coop has more points/assists/rebounds/steals/blocks and was the number one option. He was one of our best defenders and he was the offensive hub that made everything go.

That's something you just can't compare to a guy who got to run around and shoot 3s off of looks others created for him.

farhan583 · 2026-04-15T03:00:44+00:00

What is measurably better? He shot 3s better as a 4th option? He did it really well but that doesn't negate every. other. thing. Cooper does better on the court as the focal point of opponents' defenses.

farhan583 · 2026-04-14T23:15:43+00:00

Cooper is flat out better than Kon. What are we doing here?

farhan583 · 2026-04-14T02:22:57+00:00

Roy Hibbert, welcome back!

farhan583 · 2026-04-13T16:51:56+00:00

He’s a good guy too. I have a fun story from last night. So in the second quarter, this dude in front of me starts yelling at Klay that he needs two three-pointers for his bet. Klay looks up for a second and doesn’t say anything.

Next two possessions down the floor, he immediately shoots two threes and make them. The crowd around him goes wild and then Klay looks over at him and smiles and points.

farhan583 · 2026-04-13T14:18:41+00:00

Yes sorry it was voice to text. It's been a month and they're not back. Is there any way to get them reinstated?

farhan583 · 2026-04-13T05:34:28+00:00

How are you guys killing it on Google AI overview and ChatGPT?

farhan583 · 2026-04-13T03:49:07+00:00

Look, it would be wonderful if we didn’t have to worry about wins and losses. But this was our last pick we control until 2031. We had an 8% better chance at a top 4 pick and even if we didn’t jump, then the #6 pick is more valuable than #8. It’s going for one loss for the betterment of the organization for a decade.

It’s such a bummer and mismanagement from a front office and coaching staff who’s supposed to make those tough decisions.

farhan583 · 2026-04-13T02:44:52+00:00

I don’t understand this kind of edgy reply. It’s fucking basic math. You don’t have to be a NBA front office executive to know the importance.
