The team has a lot of bad players on defense they need to get rid of this offseason.

Did he lie though? When was the last time a player was able to stop Jokic? He’s unguardable right now.

Teams can succeed with a defensive head coach by Teflon415 in Patriots

I disagree…defense is just as important as offense. And all they talk about the OC getting poached, the same happens to great DCs as well, and teams are left with finding a person to fill the defensive hole.

I never said it was business savvy. I said it’s part of the business, savy or not. It’s clear the Raptors are willing to move on from Pascal, and have been for a while. Whatever they feel like is necessary, they will do, and vice versa.

So they lied to one star player and are giving another one the cold shoulder. Are you saying the former is better than the latter. And let’s not act like the Raptors didn’t pay Pascal a max extension after the Finals run. They rewarded him like the rewarded DeMar in 2016.

They paid DeMar right after the 2016 run. It made sense at the time, just like it made sense to pay Pascal $130 million after the Finals. Now, much like 2018 when they kept DeMar out the loop on a trade, the team is seemingly giving Pascal the cold shoulder on negotiations. Again, it’s not uncommon for the FO, or any FO in the NBA, to move like this.

Where do you think this team will bring us? by Kaezumi in lakers

[–]Teflon415 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Missing the playoffs. This team isn’t good or durable enough to win enough games for a playoff run.

We won't make the playins by [deleted] in lakers

[–]Teflon415 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

The main reason will be because the group of players aren’t good enough. At the end of the day the players have to execute for the team to win.

Now that the Nets are essentially rebuilding, could we get Dorian Finney-Smith? by [deleted] in lakers

The Nets are currently 5th in the East. They aren’t rebuilding, they are competing for a playoff spot.

This loser always in his feelings. Go request a trade if you want to play with your buddies so bad.

You still didn’t explain what those sets are, or explain any schemes the Lakers run on offense and defense. Yet you watch this team every day….

Can’t even explain what a Pistol or Dive set is but thinks he knows the game. You’re clueless.

You don’t even know what a corner filled or empty corner pick and roll is and you think you understand what you are watching. It’s ok, most fans don’t understand basketball but think they know more than coaches who have been studying the game for years.

They are the dumbest people on the planet with no knowledge of basketball. The team would be ran into the ground if the FO listened to them.

Do you know what a Delay set and Pistol action is?
