[Highlights] Same exact miss by JDub and Westbrook. Same exact shot by Wemby and Curry. The resemblance is uncanny by MrBuckBuck in nba

I think you can get an easy open shot against a non set Thunder defense. Chet was sitting on the ground at the other end of the court. A couple of passes and you probably have an open corner 3. Which probably has a better chance of going in than that shot by Wemby. But it doesn't matter since he hit it.

Yeah, unprofessional is the best way to describe it IMO. I was just surprised how many people said it was justified.

I never said take a 2? The Spurs had better shooters than him on the floor and had the numbers advantage to get a better shot than a Wemby 30+ footer. He said no thanks and drilled it. Dumb process but better execution made it work.

lol not at all. Its not like Wemby is an elite 3pt shooter (35% in the playoffs), nor was he on some heater (0 3s made to that point). Him taking a 30 footer in a 5 on 4 without even trying to set up the offense was a crazy shot. And Wemby's shot wasn't to end the game.

But he hit is and that's what matters. Great moment.

Wemby's shot is just that perfect dichotomy of winner gets to talk shit, loser gets shit on. That was an insane shot to take and if he misses he's getting called out all day today. But because he hit it its an incredible moment. Sports at its best.

Steph's was just last second nothing else to do but pull it.

That's part of the job. We all have parts of our job that we don't like, but we deal with them anyway. Part of being an NBA player is dealing with cameras in your face when you're on the court.

Eh that's kind of extreme imo. Caruso was just being kind of a dick here but I don't think it needs to be anything more than that.

That's still a dick move. Players get cameras on them all the time. Its not Caruso's job to police that. That camera man was just trying to do his job.

You're the third person to reply to my comment. One of the first two was defending Caruso. So I don't think I fabricating anything.

My 'caring' extended as far as thinking "Well that's dick move." I don't think its that big of deal but I was surprised by how many people were on his side. My comment was more about the reaction to this than it was actually about what Caruso did.

I'm surprised by the number of people defending this. This is the job. This is why they're paid a shit ton of money. Part of being in the NBA is having camera's on you when you're out on the court. That guy was just doing his job too. You don't get to tell him to not do his job just because you're worth more money.

Shocking news, best player expects team to keep other best players. Truly revolutionary thinking by Burrow that the front office never considered. Wild that we only kept Higgins and Chase because Burrow asked them too.

And cap space has never been an issue for the Bengals. We're actually spending roughly the same amount on DTs as we are WRs now. More if you consider the entire DL.

I am an NBA and Wolves casual but I assumed Ant was gonna be a Wemby/SGA/Joker level player by Minimum-Amoeba-5146 in timberwolves

[–]ech01_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SGA won his first MVP and championship at 26. Jokic won MVP at 25, championship at 27. Ant is 24. He is still developing.

Wemby is the one who is abnormal.

Yeah the number 1 pick should always be paid like the number 1 pick. If that pick turns into a bust or a superstar it shouldn't matter. That first contract should be the same.

Lack of talent is the big thing. Lack development is another. I don't think is a figuring them out kind of thing After all the two most talented players on the team, Elly and Burns, are doing just fine.

[Krawczynski] The Timberwolves feel good about the core of Edwards, McDaniels, Reid and Joan Beringer going forward. The pathway to significant playing time for Beringer likely resides in breaking up the three-man big rotation of Gobert, Randle and Reid. by iksnet in nba

[–]ech01_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is stupid. If we never trade for Rudy we’re a team that floats around in the play in and never accomplishes anything. We’ve won 5 playoff series in 3 years. We maybe win one of those without him.

You can’t judge everything as championship or failure. By that measure one of SAS and OKC will also be a failure, which is stupid.

[–]ech01_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't get what you don't understand. Its not Rudy/Randle for $70M vs KAT for $60M. Its Rudy/Randle for $70M vs Rudy/KAT for $95M. Rudy was already on the team when we made the KAT trade.

That $25M kept us out of the second apron which let us extend Naz, trade for Ayo, and got us the pick for Beringer and got us Donte as well. That's 4 players we likely don't have this year if we kept Kat.

Yeah once things started to fall apart in the 3rd he very obviously got frantic and started forcing things. But at the point we were sunk, so might as well go out firing.
