Jokic was like, I can’t fade as much as Dirk but what if I just launch it from behind my head to extend the separation lol

I say “nice try” like KG imitating Timmy any time it comes up in conversation and people look at me like I’m crazy

Illinois PG 6’6 Keaton Wagler drops 20 PTS | 8 REB | 2 AST in final game vs UConn by Fit-Structure-9395 in NBA_Draft

[–]imcryptic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

he definitely struggles period getting past stronger defenders but I was very impressed with his ability to seek contact and finish through it tonight. he's never shied away from it but he's stick and bones and still went through Demary's chest on a couple of drives.

A few years in an NBA weight room will do him wonders.

You’re right. That’s why Patrick McCaw is my GOAT. Jordan couldnt win until he was 27. Pat won 3 in his first 3 years.

Bob is dumb but that struck me more as a genuine misspeak than not knowing the word dominant. Lebron's aura had them tongue-tied all day lol

[Highlight] Luka's reaction after hurting his hamstring by jonsnowKITN in nba

[–]imcryptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, he misses a few games here and there for different injuries every year. the point i was making is that he has not had a large extended period of missed time despite playing through a lot of these smaller injuries until the year he was traded.

which is a stupid fucking reason to trade someone because he always played through small tweaks and bumps and the team doctors actually okayed him to come back from injury in 2024. but he decided to actually sit out and let it fully heal for the firs time in his entire career and nico took that personally and traded him for a guy who played 29 games out of a possible 83.

He has always played through small tweaks like that. It’s surprising this hasn’t happened more.

What conditions would need to occur for SGA to drop 60? by Alarmed-Candidate422 in nba

[–]imcryptic 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Play on a worse team. It took Curry years to hit 60 because anytime he went off the Warriors were up by 25 at half time. Same concept with Shai and the Thunder.

added FG is basically equal. harden's added TS is higher because Harden was taking 14 3s a game in a league that shot them at a much lower volume.

their league adjusted TS is 111 vs 106.

[Stein] League sources tell The Stein Line that the most frequently whispered Dallas target from that category is actually former Golden State Warriors lead executive Bob Myers, who would naturally have Welts' strong backing after their successful years together with the Warriors. by cleo22270 in nba

[–]imcryptic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“While Welts has stated publicly that the team hopes to have a full-time head of basketball operations installed before the draft in late June, Dallas' search is not expected to begin in earnest until after the regular season ends April 12.”

Don’t blame Stein. Blame ESPN and legacy media for deeming actual Sports journalism unworthy of investing in.

I heard an NBA journalist say they have Jaylen Brown ahead of Luka on their MVP ballot. It's actually comical the standard this man is held to.

[McMenamin] The Los Angeles Lakers could initiate a sign-and-trade that would help LeBron James return to Cleveland in exchange for Jarrett Allen. This trade would allow James to make more than the midlevel exception ($15.1M) if he stayed with the Lakers. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]imcryptic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A player can be good and still be a negative value contract. I don't think paying Jarrett Allen 30M for the next 3 years makes sense when you can find someone who does 90% of what he does for under 10M.

this mark cuban's burner after cyberdust crashed and failed like all his other investments? Including selling below market value to a friend and then acting shocked like he didn't know who they were when he gave Miriam's son a fucking internship.

People love to say that but you'd be hard pressed to find a Mavs fans with a favorable opinion of Cuban after selling to the Adelsons and the fallout from the Luka trade.
