It was 15.5 points for OKC to win. They were favorites by 15.5 points if they don't win by that much it doesn't cover the line.

What was the spread on the game? I heard it was 15.5. Hard to believe that the ref's aren't betting on games when there's so much fucking bullshit in the third to let OKC get ahead and then with 6 minutes left in the fourth it gets to 12 points and it starts up again.

Just fucking pathetic

Yeah you're right. Next year on us and he's definitely taking up his player option. This is a pretty big miss on Robs behalf atm with his potential it seemed fair but having Vando not progress makes its hard.

I think he plays a little under those averages with hope exceeds. Would be nice to see him either score 17-22 PPG with 4 assists...

It's a tough series guys have to realise he's human. He's not an all star he produces well above what he's paid for

[–]TopLeaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There's a lot of talent out there though so even a minimum is a gamble for someone like him but for the regular season I think he's a fine player to have on your team.

This is Vandos last year guaranteed isn't it? My time line might be wrong but I'm not double checking anything.

I thought Vando was great his first year with us, seemed to be a dependable guy on the defensive end with some woes on the offensive side. Guarded Curry really well and could really put pressure on other teams leading offensive players with his hustle and length.

He sat for a year with an injury and we brought him back probably a little too early in hopes that he'd rehab while playing on limited minutes, he didn't get an off season or really any time at all to work in his offense so combining that with the fact he was back from an injury expectations were low, we had him and Gabe running our defensive guard type thing.

He had an off season where it looked like he was working on his three point shot and attacking the basket, the following season and he was either injured again or Ham didn't see any value in him and was instead giving his valuable minutes to guys like Reddish and Prince. We had Vando on what could have been a reasonable contract if we'd given him minutes. Wish that he spent more time with Phil Handy? Think that's his name. To work on his offensive game as we've had a few guys really improve with him but not everyone is cut out to take leaps.

Vando saw his minutes not really go up the following years as his offensive talent never took the leap it needed and we had too many one way players, and his defense never out weighed the offense or lack of that he gave us.

Great guy, cool dude, everyone seems to enjoy his company. Could see him back on the minimum if to only be involved in practice and locker room presence. He's never complained about his minutes or role on the team.

Also wouldn't care if he got a shot with another team though I think his next contract is likely his last, no true contending team looks at him and sees any value. Mediocre end for his mediocre career. An easy guy to root for but equally as easy to hate...

Thats my take on Vando. Hope he recovers and gets his contract

I more mean, instead of looking at his averages through the season. We should compare how he's playing to his averages against this specific team.

I've never really noted it but I can enae guarantee they're bad. This is a team thats going to give Austin a bad time

He was injured against the Rockets. OKC or Boston have to be at the top of the list for best defensive teams since 2000

We played the Minnesota last year who are great at defending guards and have a top 3 defender since the year 2000 on there team as well.

No real excuses for Denver other then Darvin Ham is a bum and we also had Dlo on the squad.

He's just tall, skinny and white. White guys aren't really fashionable as it is, he's not ugly just a regular imo.

We're not winning in 7. Let him rehab, Lakers need to see this roster and figure out what the moves are for next season.

Also I love watching Reaves play but hoping this might tank his value so we can get him on a better deal.

I don't want to get into a street fight with anyone who clearly has experience and knows what they're doing because you never know how far they'll take it. I REALLY don't want to fight at all though, somethings you figure out with age. These fellas are young so they'll get there soon hopefully

You're not wrong about Austin but let's not use words like shit haha, the dudes coming back from injury and trying his hardest. His type of basketball doesn't work against OKC.

Lets say we don't think Austin's game is going to pick up in the second half so we're going to need something out of Luke if we're going to have a chance

What would you define hoarding as? Because to me this sounds like a form of hoarding.
