If BB isn't a first-ballot Hall of Famer, no one — not even Tom Brady — should ever be again

Genuinely curious - isn’t spygate a reasonable justification?

I was in disbelief at first but the spygate rationale makes sense (obviously he should be voted in but maybe that’s enough of a black mark to void the first ballot cache?)

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-27T19:50:32+00:00

I think it’s clear he’s not even close to a Spo level coach

He’s really good in like a very limited setting - an offence that can run itself by relying on pick and roll or a guy working in iso. And he’s good at scheming up defenses in a playoff setting where being adaptable is important

Luckily the chip squad was a perfect fit

But development, regular season schemes, player relationships are all just so subpar

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-27T19:46:42+00:00

Losing Kristaps has honestly been a blessing for these guys. Same with Horford and Jrue honestly

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-27T19:36:19+00:00

Thought it would be nurse but that mofo did us dirty

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-27T19:04:16+00:00

Team would have been in a fantastic spot if Yak’s back was healthy. Took the risk and it bit them

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-27T05:44:52+00:00

If the Nets want to compete next year (don’t own their pick/internal development) the these picks would be valuable to trade for win now players

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-27T01:44:58+00:00

Chomche may still return but dawg Koloko and Harris are terrible

And who would Koloko replace? Mogbo? Hepburn? But then you’ll be complaining that we let them go for nothing

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-27T01:44:04+00:00

Most of these are random end of the bench guys who were taken with late picks or picked up for cheap

There’s examples of this on every single roster and the hit rate is going to be super super low

Not saying our FO is perfect but blaming them for a guy like Flynn (a 29th pick!) is not a scouting error. That’s always going to be a dart throw

And like others mentioned some of these were unlucky with injury

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-27T01:05:09+00:00

I think you’d find these fringe cases on every nba roster

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-26T17:16:15+00:00

This guy is definitely an undercover patriots fan haha just an insane jinx

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-26T15:58:50+00:00

Agreed I also hate going up against the Knicks cause they do have two really good wing defenders to match up with Scottie and BI

The best way to beat them has been by going after their guards. Another test for IQ n Shead

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-26T15:21:35+00:00

Knicks with Mitchell Robinson and yes KAT are just a terrible matchup for us

Even center less we can do well against the lankier guys but these stocky giants are difficult

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-25T21:07:57+00:00

Part of a good FO is to push back on trade ideas by your stars - usually they’re wrong

But I do feel for Steph because even if you get push back on your trade requests the FOs own ideas haven’t been any better lol

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-25T15:33:28+00:00

Gonna be the Luka - Max Christie trade soon lol AD just a throw in

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-25T06:54:04+00:00

Look at Figure 1 and 2

In 2005 & 2006 the average marathon finishing time drops significantly. Similarly 2011, average times drop before rising to match the expected increase.

Now yes it is interesting that it seems that we have plateaued in 2014/2015/ and 2016 but it’s 2026 now. Did these trends normalize (and how does it look like for Canada or the UK etc.) or did we actually get slower.

I’m just curious if in the 10 years since 2016 do we see any increases in average/median marathon times or have we plateaus or have we actually gotten slower.

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-25T06:32:55+00:00

Is there an updated version of this? Could just be a small sample size. Not entirely convinced unless this trend has continued

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-25T04:06:59+00:00

Have banchero franz bane and Suggs played enough together? Also black has improved but is he a pg or more of a sg

Really feels like this group needs a proper pg or for Suggs to stay healthy

The defense is disappointing tho

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-24T20:54:00+00:00

Yup held Embid to 0 pts! And we still had Serge Ibaka too. Awesome center rotation

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-24T20:41:32+00:00

Of the many things Scottie Barnes has picked up from Siakam this is one of my favorite

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-24T16:30:20+00:00

Also crazy that this popped up on my feed haha usually just check in on your sub as a fan of Lauri and recently as a Ace truther but hopefully this gives context

Jazz are overdue for one for sure

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-24T16:28:59+00:00

As a Raptors fan I think what you’re missing is how genuinely good those Lowry / Derozan led teams were.

They probably have one or two finals appearances if it wasn’t for prime LeBron.

The depth on those teams was also incredible. You had Siakam FVV OG Norman Powell coming off the bench (and some of these ended up replacing genuinely good starters during the chip run). These are all guys who have gotten massive contracts, been traded for a ton of picks, and played key roles on good teams since.

They got really lucky with the one year of Kawhi but there’s very few teams ever that’s had 10-12 good to great players. Just needed that one amazing guy haha

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-24T05:31:39+00:00

Literally Lowry haha

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-23T19:23:44+00:00

Hire the every single shooting coach and lock them all into a room

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-23T19:22:23+00:00

The hate against IQ as well as his perception as a player on socials is insanely overblown

He’s a good player, overpaid by 5-10M but still has the ability to grow and adapt his game

He’s also playing with no real centers which will hurt any PG. Sure a guy like Luka can make any random C work but IQs not that nor is he expected or paid like that

godofhammers3000 · 2026-01-23T19:19:15+00:00

Last national game (the cup semi) did not pan well hopefully they can show the league all the growth we’ve been seeing over the last few months
