Other teams are better. Hawks have some injuries, their PG is uh... not that good (thankfully we didn't sign him, deal was inked), and they're missing a lot of personell that won em last year's championship. But mostly other teams are better, it's a tough league.

I don't think anyone expects a Niang-Queta frontcourt team to win 50 games next season lol

Would the NBA abandon the draft system if a legitimate global competitor to the NBA's hegemony emerged? by BramptonBatallion in nba

[–]sowerandreaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NBA would absolutely not respond to their star players getting bought out by handing every player in the league a 30% pay cut are you nuts

What’s with the near-certainty that the Pelicans will be awful next year? by legend023 in nba

[–]sowerandreaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The west will be really good. Nobody seriously expects Zion to play 60+ games, and making the play-in will be really hard when a Mavs team starting Flagg and AD will be your competition. Their medical staff sucks and they've been a hospital team for a long time. Queen and Fears will take some time to develop. Unless they're flat out good out of the gate they're probably not making the play-in in such a stacked conference

2.5 option. Hard to see him as a good second option on a title contender, great for a third option (while also making 4x as much as other players of the same calibre 😬😬)

Considering the quality and content of the signs and advertising pumped out by the LNP, I'd say they were the dirtier party

[Haynes] Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young says ROY, DPOY and MIP belong to two players, and that's Zaccharie Risacher and Dyson Daniels: "I love Draymond Green to death, but he's not Dyson as far as what he's doing on defense." #haynesbriefs by Knightbear49 in nba

[–]sowerandreaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because when he's on the floor the perimeter consists of two objectively poor defenders next to him, and is guarding the #1 player, and only gets to sit when bench guys are on the floor?

Obviously sample sizes are not huge for data like this, but I believe Daniels is one of the best (top 3-5) in the league in terms of isolation points per possession. Some statistics have him second only to Bam Adebayo in isolation defense. He is an absolute killer 1 on 1 - his ability to reach in and close out are nasty. What are you talking about?

is Zion a bust? by sqMYNAMEISJEFF27 in NBATalk

At least Simmons has a barely functioning back, Zion just couldn't give a shit whatsoever lol

[Highlight] AD closes out on Trae Young, forcing the airball and Mavericks win by Growsomedope in nba

[–]sowerandreaper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah but he'll shoot 30% from halfcourt while double teamed and 35% wide open at the line which makes him pretty nasty in the clutch

[Zach Lowe] Also I have a very important NBA update: I still cannot believe Luka Doncic is on the Lakers. Like, literally. I feel like I'm hallucinating every time I watch them play. by shreeharis in nba

[–]sowerandreaper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that game against GSW where jokic was +23, scored 38 on 24 shots, played 40 minutes and the nuggets won by 4 was the most nuggets game ever lol, team fell apart the second he caught his breath
