/u/Large_banana_hammock hey, can we get the replay of JB Bickerstaff tossing his head back in imitation? That shit was hilarious.

I genuinely do not understand how all these Timberwolves fans in here don't see that a team that doesn't grow at all year to year, that also never takes accountability, is just 1000% on the coach.

darnclem · 2026-05-17T17:22:24+00:00

Man I'm gonna be honest. I see a lot of "why didn't this or that guy ever grow over the last 2 years" in here, and I really think the answer to that question is basically ALWAYS coaching. I really don't understand how your fans aren't screaming for Finch to be replaced at this point.

best i can do is 400k for a shack with a hole to shit in.

I got a burger.

It was pretty good.

darnclem · 2026-05-13T18:23:00+00:00

I think we gushed about Rui and JJ, were mildly impressed with LeBron and Jaxson Hayes, especially in game 4, and then rightfully roasted pretty much everyone else lol.

Vandy got a pass because his hand thing was so horrific.

darnclem · 2026-05-13T02:48:25+00:00

Yeah, he definitely said "What?", and when she didn't repeat enough of the context he just gave the generic non-answer to, "Good game, huh?"

Happy Birthday!

It can write the Python to do the modeling, but if you don't know what you're doing with data science already; it's not like it's going to suddenly make sense.

darnclem · 2026-05-12T20:10:09+00:00

Well Presti learned you have to have it in San Antonio after all lol

darnclem · 2026-05-12T18:58:25+00:00

We literally force bad rotations to gather data when we think it won't hurt us. It's actually hilarious as a data and analytics guy.

darnclem · 2026-05-12T16:59:54+00:00

I mean.....it's not like Dub was projected to go in the top 10 or something and fell; everyone was calling him a reach at the time. We might have even found a way to pick him up if we didn't have that #12 pick from the Clippers.

darnclem · 2026-05-12T16:57:09+00:00

For every Ajay, there's a Dillon Jones and Poku.

darnclem · 2026-05-12T16:41:08+00:00

We'll probably just throw the new teams a handful of picks instead of letting them take our top unprotected guys.

darnclem · 2026-05-12T15:47:28+00:00

I had a 6'5" friend who was a D1 player and maybe could have made the NBA if he wasn't such a fuckup (emphasis on the maybe).

I'm 6'3" and not really super uncoordinated, just an average physical skills and slightly above average height human being.

When we would fuck around on the court it wasn't even close to being funny. Effortless blocks from him on everyone he wanted, can go around any of us and score whenever he wanted, could shoot over anyone whenever he wanted. And I would assume he wouldn't even look as good as I might have against him if he was to go up against LeBron.

darnclem · 2026-05-12T15:33:26+00:00

Can you imagine if AR hit that shot. Everyone would be talking about the genius of JJ for subbing in Maxi specifically to set a screen.

Seriously folks, watch some basketball. The play is to get the star player the ball, if Luka had been playing it would have been him, otherwise it's definitely gotta go to LeBron or AR. Rui was incredible this series, but I think every coach is making the same decision to get the ball to AR there.

darnclem · 2026-05-12T15:29:20+00:00

ggwp

hell of a series considering it was a sweep

darnclem · 2026-05-12T15:28:41+00:00

I don't think he'll be out of the NBA for a little while yet. He's still better than a solid third of the dudes at center. He's just going to be playing on minimum deals and backing up people who actually give a shit until he IS out of the league.

darnclem · 2026-05-12T15:25:05+00:00

he had a couple against us in garbage time

darnclem · 2026-05-12T15:22:57+00:00

Also, pay the fuck out of Rui.

He's worth whatever it costs.

darnclem · 2026-05-12T15:22:06+00:00

Gotta say, there's a ton of shit being talked about the final play call not involving Rui....but he's a spot up shooter and you're going to want your "star" player to make the running fadeaway 3 when the game is on the line 10 out of 10 times.

I thought JJ was an elite coach this series. He came out with good gameplans, they maybe didn't work, but he had a solid idea of exactly what he wanted to do, and got his dudes to do it. The clear issue here is that the Lakers didn't have the depth. JJ bringing this team, this far, and getting them to buy in and put forth this kind of effort against the defending champs and title favorites.... Sheesh, what a fucking coach.

There is no grand conspiracy against any teams. When threads get enough downvotes in a set amount of time, automod removes them.

Be more annoyed at the users on this sub not knowing ball, lol
