He brought the team together and created culture. Before he was the coach the team had some serious chemistry issues and Hornacek could not control the locker room. The Morris twins were one of the main contributors to this. He will be the coach until the talent develops. They can hire a good coach by then. But if they start winning with Watson he will stay

Low key underrated part of the Jazz buzzer beater? Watch Willie Cauley Stein's on ball defense on George Hill.

Granted, George Hill isn't Allen Iverson or anything, but WCS has insane lateral agility and athleticism.

I don't know if the Kings will ever get their shit together, but if they do, WCS is going to be their defensive anchor. He has the ability to wreck pick and roll teams.

Don't get so defensive senpai, I got nothing against the Mavs. They're bad right now tho, and I don't think Mark Cuban is helping. He's an obsessive weirdo.

Rick Carlisle is the best coach in the NBA right now tho, even better than Pop imo. And the city loves the team.

Not hating, just stating the obv. They aren't good and won't be until they start drafting better or Cuban chills out so they can get FAs.

>>74525701

Don't get the green text?

>>74525716

It's way too early to tell if he's a good fit there. It can take a while as we've seen. The key will be finding a role not just for Boogie and AD together, but also Jrue. If they don't start clicking by the end of the season it'll prolly be time to worry.

Blame Durbitch the GM. He made the moves to send Waiters out. He then made advisements on Ibaka and left the team as it was being rebuilt around him.

I think Pop is a fantastic coach who has benefited from so much stability at the ownership level. I look at the Spurs like I look at the Steelers in the NFL.

I think Pop is fantastic, my no 2 in the NBA btw (Spo 3), but on a level playing field Rick Carlisle is going to out-scheme any basketball mind on the planet. He's that good.

>>74525742

Not counting Oladipo. But yes. Look at them, in the last games they are just straight up worse then the Nets.

I am fairly positive that if Westbrook was on the nets he would have a much better team score right now.

>>74525738

OKC isn't bad. They have a bunch of good role players. The problem is the team looks like it's missing a top tier scorer. I know, it's weird

Only mentally tough players can play for the spurs. I'm sure most NBA stars wouldn't want to play there mainly because it's not a one-man show anymore and you're not doing whatever you want with the ball. You have to work with the team and keep your ego in check.
That's the sacrifice needed to win rings, and CP3 won't do that.

Westbrook nor Harden are getting the MVP this year. Look at every season and the player selected from each team, they are either 1st or 2nd in their conference for their respective team. Harden could do it if they clinch the number two spot away from the wounded warriors or if the spurs slip up.

Before KD's injury I'd say it was going to be KD but I can see hardin winning it now, # 3 in the west is still high enugg to merit mvp with his dantoni padeded stats

D'antoni will also be COTY

If Westbrook wins it's because of muh triple double

Look at their roster. I dare you to recognize 5 names. You can even have AD, Boogie, and Holiday for free

srs question: how do they figure out where players shoot from to make shot charts?

i know they have cameras now that track the ball (SportVU), but they have shot charts going all the way back to 2002, when they didn't have cameras installed

Lebron James or Kawhi now that KD is ded.
When you average 25pts and 8 assists and almost 9 rebounds a game as Lebron or if you are Kawhi Leonard who has improved so much from last year and now makes more 1 more ppg than lebron but less rebounds and assists (6, 3) but Kawhi is better defensively 1 on 1. and is knocking on a 50/40/90 season

Is there a coach who had a team of almost nobody's besides Dirk and old man Kidd, Chandler and took them to the championship against Lebron (arguably the 2nd best player of all time), D Wade, Ray Allen, and Chris Bosh?

>>74525957
pretty sure everyone even the biggest lebron haters will admit that finals loss was a fluke...

they play that series 100 times and the heat would've won

People need to stop pretending that team was a bunch of scrubs. They had a bunch of grizzled vets, former allstars, and good role players.

How much do you think Mark Cuckban paid the refs to win this game because he thinks Westbrook isn't MVP?

>>74525999
that sentence doesn't even make sense...

>>74525999
westbrook went to the foul line 13 times, i guess cuban didn't pay the refs enough

>>74525971
>pretty sure everyone even the biggest lebron haters will admit that finals loss was a fluke

I dont understand how people call a basketball Finals win/loss a "fluke" if you have 4 chances at it unlike in the NFL where you only need one win and it can happen on a lucky play.

>>74526015
13 isn't enough for a guy who always drives and gets hammered.

>>74525971
choking the finals away is not a fluke, that is your own fault

>>74526020

LeBron literally had the worst series of his career. He just straight up vanished at times. The mavs didn't really do anything special to defend him either. It was surreal and hilarious

>>74526038
He's actually shooting like 50% right now.

Doing pretty good

>>74526020
they got really hot and hit a bunch luck shots....

7 game series sin't some magical scientific number that takes out randomness, imo you need to play at least a best of 10 series to do that

>>74526039
If he does drive as much as Westbrook, then sure.

The NBA is so catered to defenders it doesn't even make sense. Why reward some fuck who stays in the paint and JUMPS AT the guy who just beat his own defender off the dribble?

It's utter drivel.

That blatant travel by Cousins yet they get no call

This has to be some bullshit

>>74526052

Luke is actually running GSW plays for him, with Randle being Draymond in this situation...unfortunately Randle and Dlo are also shooting poorly and the Pelicans about to make a run

>>74526049
>LeBron literally had the worst series of his career. He just straight up vanished at times

How does this prove that the Finals loss was a fluke if LeBron didn't show up? Sounds like it was his fault the Heat choked the Finals away. That Mavs team wasn't a bad team either, it's not like the Heat went against a bunch of literal who's

if he was such a good coach why isn't he wining any more?

>>74526104

People literally thought zone defenses were going to end offense as we know it (I guess they were sort of right) and that every game would end 69-70. A lot of those changes were bracing for zone defense being allowed.

Someone give me a quick rundown on the thunder game

>>74526146
westbrook had a bad game but still put up 29 points
kanter and adams had great games

everyone else sucked on offense and the entire team sucked on defense

>>74526146

The Brodie malfunctioned

>>74525909
Nice list but a lot of work needs to be done. There isn't a big enough sample size to say Walton is average.
Donovan should be higher than Lue at least. Maybe take Lue and put in the real coach- Lebron- and then put him in Tactician.

Yes yes because he's had a great roster like the last 5 years right retard not a single star player and a declining dirk and yet this season will be his first losing season

Jordan Clarkson is so talented but he decides whether to score or pass before he crosses half court and it's super predictable.

>Cousins- 8/18
>Ingram - 6/11

>>74526192
if they carliele is so good why didn't he insert before now????

this is just taking credit away from curry and attributting it to a coach...

nerlens noel is a GOAT and is going to lead the mavs to a championship sometime this decade

>>74526126
>it was his 1st year playing with wade they were still trying to figure out thier team dynasmic....

And they made it to the Finals on their first try. Not the first time LeBron has been to the Finals btw.


>the mavs got super hot and hit a bunch of shots they had no buisness making, then ppl attributed it to carslie's "coaching"

The Mavs getting hot doesnt mean anything, it just means your team came unprepared. The Mavs made shots they had no business making? Wtf does that even mean? Sounds like an excuse a sore loser makes to discredit the better team.

I still don't see a fluke loss by the Heat. The Mavs blew up the next season and the Heat got better.

>>74526189
Does Ingram dare I say it
have some potential in this league

>>74526193
Joerger is a bitch.

>>74526204

hey man i made you OC, not even a thank you? rude tee bee aich

>>74526203
He's better. Cousins is shooting like 40% and Ingram is over 54%

ingram is such a fucking bust

>>74526189
They are actually running plays for him, which is nice. Randle is visibly moping, getting real tired of this guy

Lakerfags on a scale of 1-10 how mad will you be when you lose this year's 1st rounder to philly, especially when it ends up being #4?

>Dirk and Seth Curry had no business making jump shots

>>74526239
who the fuck are you quoting???

>>74526126
The Mavs were just an overall better team.

Looking back, hindside is 50/05.

>check boxscore
>Ingram still can't hit free throws

>>74526231
Lakerfags are pretty confident they won't lose it. Check any Lakers forum. They think Silver will rig it for them.

>players who are known for shooting had no business making the shots they were shooting

>>74526231

Not that much. The guy i want is Jackson at 3, and he won't be there at 4 so it doesn't matter. If we get 2, I would trade down to 3.

It completely changed it. To me, I think it was completely disrespectful to everyone from [NBA senior VP of entertainment and player marketing] Michael Levine to [Warriors president and COO] Rick Welts and all these people who've done these things to change the game from an entertainment perspective.

Does the music really matter that much or is draymond just being a bitch

How are Lelkers fan still optimistic? None of their young core seem promising superstars.
