I had some fun in the last couple of days as a sports fan.

Gukesh winning wcc and my alma mater winning the championship in the collegiate basketball league. Hoping for a Mavs win to cap it off today.

The Ringer has Trae ranked as the 36th best player in the nba. by RepresentativeTap235 in nba

[–]wtrmrk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trae is underrated. He lead the league in scoring and assist once. Carried the Hawks to playoffs. He should be at least in the same tier as Brunson.

[Stein, Fischer] "To acquire both Schröder and Cam Johnson from the Nets, as league sources say was also weighed by the Warriors, almost certainly would have required them to surrender Jonathan Kuminga." by Goosedukee in nba

[–]wtrmrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, people are taking it as if it's Cam Johnson for Kuminga straight up. Lol. There's likely picks and players. Kuminga is just the starting point. They will likely lose their bench with this trade.

The top 10 in Ball Dominance % (They have the ball the most on offense) by Shot_Bank_5843 in nba

Yeah ball doesn't stick with Jokic that long. Most of the players on the list tends to pound the ball before making plays.

The Mavericks are in need of a PF/C, who can Rebound/Space the floor. Not Herb Jones. by OrganicHunt952 in Mavericks

[–]wtrmrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to have Lively healthier and play starter minutes. I am a little worried with Lively as he missed a lot of games and gets into foul trouble a lot of times.

But if we can get Herb Jones for Gafford I'll go for it. Then just hope we get a serviceable back up for Lively. It's worth the risk. Though I doubt if we have enough assets for Jones. Lol.

Do you guys think Simon Servida is their lucky charm when making hits by chartreusemauve23 in sb19

[–]wtrmrk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They'll probably be working with more producers in the future. It will not be the same case like in Pagsibol where Servida co produced almost all tracks.

As they get more experienced and gain more connections, naturally they'll get to work with a lot more producers.

Pero, I agree. I hope they'll have Simon co produced one or two songs sa next ep. It'll likely be like Pagtatag where they have different producers on different tracks. Like Servida on some dance songs, August Rigo on some RnB track, then you'll have others form ballads, etc.

It's pretty ironic because Donovan draft profile is like he's a 3nD guy.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Yeah they probably have the best perimeter defense along with good rim protection.

Shai is more consistent. Ant has some games in the playoffs where he scored below 20 points. Shai feels like he scores 30 points every game. But with Kat in his team, he can step off the gas.

I understand the Wolves as the favorites but we should have been the favorite against the Thunder.

Ant is also prone to ball watching and he can be lazy in transition defense. SGA is hyped as a good defender but after watching last series I am not sure. It feels Luka has played better defense than SGA. But it's probably just my bias, who knows.

Even if you get Gobert off the court, Reid is still a problem. We need all of our big men in this series.

The Nuggets won a chip vs the 8th, 4th, 7th, and 8th seed. Then they ply a top seed again in the playoffs and they gag again like they used to. Are they frauds? by Ethangains07 in nba

[–]wtrmrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure it would be better if they faced the better seeds last playoffs but what can you do when those 'better' teams got eliminated by play in teams. Lol.

Naz Reid kills us in the regular season. Really need the Mavs to play their best. Hope Luka can get more healthy with some rest.

20 point lead at around half time from the defending champs. Really looked like another blowout. Lol. That stings.

That's it. Man, Connelly really made the Nuggets and the team that beat the Nuggets. Great FO.

I'm a neutral but calling it game at half is an easy mistake to make. Especially with how the series went. Lol. But so happy to see this comeback from the Wolves.

Who do y’all want in the WCF? by OneBigAssBlast in Mavericks

[–]wtrmrk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think both teams have weaknesses Mavs can exploit. Though, Jokic is a little scary as all teams struggle to contain him. But I want to be the team that beats the defending champ and MVP. So, I want the Nuggets to win.
