    Additional context to the ball adjustment: League Averages .446 FG% (lowest since 2004) .342 3PT% (lowest since 1999) Some of this could also be attributed to the more physical defense that has been allowed so far this season as well though.

    His full quote really wasnt that bad honestly and he's right. Tatum/Brown at this point are just taller versions of Dame/CJ. Media outlets only giving bits of it make it sound worse.

    NBA players are notoriously finnicky when it comes to the basketball. Several years back, when the NBA tried to change to a synthetic ball, complaints were so loud that the league switched back to their original leather ball mid-season. Now, it's happening again. After years of Spalding providing the NBA with its game balls, the league switched to Wilson. Wilson said they have tried to replicate the ball as well as possible, but players aren't buying it. NBPA President C.J. McCollum of the Portland Trail Blazers said, "We're all still adjusting to (the new ball)." McCollum later added that he planned to discuss with players around the league to "get feedback" on the ball. Paul George of the LA Clippers was more direct in his criticism of the Wilson ball. George said he wouldn't use the ball as an excuse, but that "it's a different basketball. It doesn't have the same touch and softness that the Spalding ball had." Many around the league have suggested that the new Wilson ball has been a factor in shooting percentages dropping around the league to open the 2021-22 season. Several star players have gotten off to rough starts, but none have directly blamed the ball for their early-season shooting challenges.

    Meh, it was his very first game after sitting for an extended period to get back after an injury. Means absolutely nothing.

    Nah, its not unfair. Its 100% warranted. He is the poster boy for that rule change. Others did it too. He was the main guyg doing it.
  10. Now I do think Morey should get players that will help them but I dont think this package would help them much at all. Kuzma stinks and Bertans was an awful fucking contract the second it was signed.
  11. Klay was never a top 5 player in the league. Borderline top 10 a few yrs. He wouldn't be particularly close to the top of my list of snubs.
  12. Dame has come out and said multiple times over the last couple weeks that he doesnt want to leave POR. And even if he did, why would he chose dysfunctional PHI over better orgs?
  13. Thinking that the only way to improve your team is to add more stars is flawed thinking.................at best. Bright side it gives him a convenient excuse when his team fails...........again

    Again, if the Pacers did indeed offer Brogdon and Levert, Morey should have taken it and that would have helped them greatly. If Morey cannot find multiple high level role players that can help his team then he and his staff are not good talent evaluators.

    And if he is truly willing to do that he should be fired. He is not helping his team win, he is stroking his own ego.
  16. Yeah, the clowning of Simmons has gotten way out of hand. Wiggins has never in his life been remotely close to an all-defensive team let alone 1st team and top 3 in DPOY voting.
  17. They have Wggins. Add pretty much any other player to him and the money works. Its not that hard to get to the number needed.

    Reminder. League pass is free this first week.
  19. Dame coming out and reiterating that has no desire to leave POR ended the even remote possibility that they could get him. Also barring some major falling out with him and CJ I cant see them trading CJ either right now. By all reports Dame and CJ are pretty tight. I guess its possible if they have a terrible season/playoff finish but I cant imagine Morey is crazy enough to go through a whole season of this drama without trading him.
