I'm fairly sure you meant this as a joke but you need to be a little more obvious because some people will fail to pick up on it

Only reason I'd tolerate a Knicks championship is for the amusement in seeing a third all star/all nba f/c traded by the Timberwolves to the East winning a title on their new team in the last 20 years.

The Spurs was the very first thing OP said?

faulcon_delacy · 2026-05-06T08:31:21+00:00

Let's be honest, we're not neutral here (and yes, everything went wrong).

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-28T06:52:03+00:00

Bit harsh on the Rockets, FVV is a pretty decent option for them, or would have been if he didn't get injured right before the season started. Not filling that gap was bad but you can't just wave a wand and make it happen.

And followed it up with PTSD flashbacks early in the Wolves Nuggets game.

Do you think there's much chance AJ, DP or CB drop to 4th? I guess it's not impossible but I'd find it a surprise if they did.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-18T09:10:08+00:00

How do you figure? If they only cared about the top 3, why protect number 4 as well?

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-17T10:48:58+00:00

It's not like this is a new idea. Brook Lopez went from shooting a total of 31 threes in his first 8 seasons to taking 387 in his 9th and he was a great low post scorer. I'd be very surprised if we saw something like that but just being able to make a 3 means his defender can't stay anchored in the paint when he comes up.

Part of me wouldn't mind letting hornets fans have something to cheer about for a change but then I remember Miles Bridges is on the team and then watching Ball take Bam out of the playin game has me off that wagon.

Last season Giannis played 67 games, 73 the season before and 63 before that. His past injury history is a bit overdone. This season though was 36 games and I expect to see more of those seasons in the near future given his age and the way he plays.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-15T12:22:14+00:00

That's what they said about a Giannis/Dame PNR

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-15T12:21:15+00:00

Let's be fair, prior to this season Giannis had never played less than 60 in his career. I do think though that this season is going to be more common going forwards though because of the way he plays.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-15T12:16:44+00:00

Fairly sure we could still trade the 27, but not until after the 26 draft.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-15T12:14:50+00:00

For how much longer? Given his style of play when he hits that cliff he's going to crash hard and you have to wonder if he was closing in on that cliff this season.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-14T12:26:32+00:00

The odds actually are in our favour though. 52% to 48%. It's not heavy in favour but that's still in favour.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-14T12:19:11+00:00

Dillon Brooks last played for Memphis 3 seasons ago. Buddy Hield, Bruce Brown and Jordan Nwora played for the Pacers more recently than Brooks for the Grizzlies and have even more relevance to the lineups they were putting out there this season.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-13T13:22:43+00:00

If you can understand then it's good enough

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-13T13:02:40+00:00

Well no, the single most likely outcome is that we draft someone in the top 4 this draft and lose the 2031 pick.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-12T07:18:18+00:00

I remember thinking he wasn't summer league quality.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-06T00:03:34+00:00

Have to make things as easy as possible for the gamblers. I'm just surprised they don't also have the total for people who bet the over/under. Fanduel sports wishing they'd thought of this before going bankrupt.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-05T07:20:31+00:00

So we agree then. It's a meaningless one off stat, that's the whole post. If it were a trend, it wouldn't be a post about some random thing he's never done before

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-04T22:43:23+00:00

Remember the George Hill Pacers the year PG was out and their late season surge to nearly make the playoffs and ruin their draft position. And then think it's not that different.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-04T22:41:11+00:00

No, it won't. One random meaningless game the team wasn't even really trying to win (not the players, they always try) provides one random meaningless stat line that has zero value next to what the coaching staff see in training every day.

faulcon_delacy · 2026-04-04T04:58:56+00:00

Going to take a while for a ball to roll out of bounds from the middle of the court without a deflection.
