  1. Every time you think Luka is just your normal all-world basketball player he somehow surpasses expectations. Nico's interview was awkward on the Ticket. His success won't depend on media interviews I guess.
  2. Yeah Tatum has laid an egg so far. Reason to be optimistic is we have KD and Dame. They could both go apeshit at some point.
  3. Do the Eagles even have any cap room? They are paying Wentz a boatload to NOT be their QB.
  4. Worst thing about Pop is he's an asshole that talks down to anyone that dares to question him. Bro, you just had Tim Duncan for two decades, get over yourself.
  5. Texas' streak of 86 consecutive innings without leading is the longest since the Braves had a 96-inning drought in 1977.
  6. Nothing wrong with being the 2nd best player in the NBA. Scary part about Giannis is he can drop 40 and also be the best defensive player on the floor. As dominant as Shaq was he never known for his defense.
  7. Lulz. Luka is 22 and has Tim Hardaway Jr, Dorian Finney Smith, Maxi Kleber, and broken down KP as his teammates. If he has Trae Young's supporting cast he possibly makes the Finals. Give Giannis two hall of famers and he would win about 5 rings. Right now he will be an underdog each year due to having no other hall of famers on his squad. Will need good fortune like this year or Kawhi in Toronto. Like anything, context is important.
  8. I think Embiids a stud. Main concern is injuries and durability with him. If Kawhi doesn't hit the shot in Game 7 vs the 76ers, Embiids legacy is looking a lot different. Ben Simmons probably the most overrated player in the league 1 year ago. I've always thought Simmons was overrated.
  9. Kawhi is gonna be out injured all of 2022. I doubt he fights to get back early. Probably why he dropped. Dame is a top 10 offensive player. No one cares about defense in these type of lists.
  10. Lol nope. Any team with KD, Harden, Kyrie will be the favorites no matter the coach. Steve Nash is legit terrible but will win a chip.
  11. Think people underestimate Canada winning an NBA chip and Milwaukee getting one.
  12. Out of the prospects I've seen Cade is the best for today's NBA.
  13. Most nerds overrate deciding on whether to give the 7th vs 8th guy on your roster more minutes. Players vibing with their coach is important these days. Ty Lue would be the #1 coach right now in my book.
  14. Top 3 NBA chip favorites in 2022: Nets (KD), Lakers (AD), Bucks (Giannis) They are all modern day big men and bucket getters. Days of the 7 foot statues are over though.
  15. Steve Nash and Vogel confirmed the best NBA coaches.
  16. Ever since the KD draft I've thought "bucket getters" was always the correct choice and most franchises failed. Why Marvin Bagley went over Luka or Trae Young was just measurables vs a guy that get can get you 40 and win. I laughed out loud when the Kings took Bagley.
  17. Hot take but I think most coaches regarded as elite are overrated when it comes to giving them credit for championships in general. If Coach Pop didn't have Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard, Tony Parker, and Ginobili would anyone regard him as elite? I say no even though he seems smarter than 90% of coaches. There's probably plenty of awesome basketball minds out there that just never had the hall of fame talent so no one cares about them. Is Phil Jackson a genius or did he just vibe with super duper stars like Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Kobe, and Shaq.
  18. Say you are the Bucks owner and the GM walks into your office with this: "I know we just won a championship and Giannis / the team like Coach Bud but I have him rated as the 16th best coach in the NBA and we have the 8th best NBA head coach waiting to step in. Should we fire Coach Bud?" Think any reasonable owner would say Giannis would be pissed, fuck off.
  19. Think its less of a big man vs small man thing vs is this a guy that projects to drop 40 points some nights if you need it, else FO with a top overall pick. Ayton is a nice player and all but he's not a bucket getter and the Suns are about to max him. Would feel gross inside giving a guy that can't put up 30 a night a max contract in today's NBA. All the best players can almost score at will. Ayton in college: Mobley:
  20. If KD or Lebron don't want to play for guys like Mike Malone or Rick Carlisle then who cares is my thought. Go hire the worse coach that elite players like.
  21. None of the other coaches have surpassed the Bucks record because they don't have Giannis, lol. Lebron won a chip with three head different coaches. Are they all elite or it didn't really matter at the end of the day?
  22. The only free agent coach that I would have rated above Bud would be Rick Carlisle and Carlisle hasn't won a playoff series in 10 years. Who are the available coaches clearly better than Bud? List them. Before this year LeBron or Steph had been in 9 straight finals I believe. Would lead me to say talent rules the NBA. Make them happy. Giannis likes Bud.
