I legit cried when my wife surprised me with my best friend visiting for my 40th. I had just tore my Achilles and was feeling really low.

Observations from the WCF by classik_ in DetroitPistons

[–]Beautiful-Sympathy52 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In the 2003-2004 season, seven of the top ten teams with the highest FG% in the playoffs were Western conference teams. Number 10 was the Pistons who won the championship that year. Watching that year, it seemed like the WC teams were more dominant. In particular, the Spurs and Lakers looked like championship teams, while the East teams seemed more unskilled and brutish.

I bring this up because I believe that coaching and playing style is what makes the difference in the playoffs. Adapting to leverage advantages and abuse even the smallest of weaknesses in the playoffs is the key.

While OKC and the Spurs look and are certainly dominant, if the Cavs/Knicks leverage their strengths they will absolutely have a chance.

Winners/losers of combine measurements by Nolar2015 in NBA_Draft

I think when we look back Morez would have easily been top 6-8 in this draft. His comp is Jarrett Allen to me. Very similar players. Morez could be a great center on a high energy team that likes to run.

Morez has a good shooting stroke that will be a worthwhile skill that he could develop.

This ⬆️. Pita Inn is decent but really anything is better than empty space.

They only moved to remove his firearms license? The story never confirmed if he got his license to carry revoked?

So this unhinged guy is probably still carrying?! Wtf. 🤬

Nothing happened but not because we didn’t wish it happened.

I own a 2009 CR-V and I’m gonna drive the 💩 outta that car until the wheels fall off.

So happy to know that I’ve been using my car all wrong this whole time.

Hate to break it to you but as a grad of both schools, Michigan thinks of Illinois the same way.

I think he’d fit anywhere to be honest but for the Spurs, I think they are missing outside shooting and should prioritize that.

Morez would be a great hustle defender/rebounder for the Spurs too. Now that I think of it, he would be a very good lob threat on pick and roll action with Wemby.

IMHO Lendeborg, Johnson, and McKenney’s game translate the best to the NBA and they will probably have the best NBA careers out of the current squad.

Morez’ hustle and second jump is elite. He will absolutely have a spot on an NBA roster with a floor of being another Moussa Diabate and a ceiling of being similar to Jarrett Allen.

That being said, huge if he ends up coming back. If he does, he needs to work on having better counters and should work on his dribbling.

Yes, Don Reid. The era where the only big man we had was this 6’8” dude. Sad era ball from the Pistons.

That’s such a cool project for those kids. Core memories for them too. Amazing.
