This. This is why I have always hated the "poor family run business" crap. They were so terribly run, business wise. They were worth billions and...
This. Shai is nowhere near as efficient if he doesn't get an unfair unethical whistle. Players and coaches talk about it even in post-games, they...

After Game 1, how is WMC a top thread, but this one is not?! Game 1 gives us reason to be wildly optimistic! Lakers in 4!!! [spoiler] [/spoiler]
Yeah, I'm pretty scared that Boston might win this year. They're 1-1 vs OKC with a +8 PD, and they won by 10 after Tatum came back. I think Boston...
I agree with both of you that Houston will or should try this, but don't think it will work. Mainly due to what you said here. If they make...
I think we're looking at the same thing through different lenses. You note the good things Vando does but discount them. Like 1-2 from 3 is good...
Right, we might not shoot as well, but we might not be quite as bad in rebounds or turnovers either. They had 21 o-rebs and we had 3. That is...
I agree that this was their plan, I just think it's a stupid plan. Even if all of the above happened - you still need a legit backup PG. Sheppard...
Yep. I thought Udoka was better than this, prior to the last year or 2, but apparently he's not. The front office failed the Rockets the most...
Yeah, keeping Smart to 34 min is one of JJ's better minutes managements. LeBron and Kennard at 38 is acceptable, but I don't want much more unless...
Here is the depth chart and all the lineups JJ played in Game 1. (listed mainly in defensive order) 4/18/26 vs Houston Rockets Defensively:...
Vando was crucial in spots tonight. He was part of our best unit (Vando/Kennard/Rui/LeBron/Ayton) that opened the 4th and went +5 in 5 minutes,...
He will be crucial defensively, to limit Sengun 1-on-1, when Durant comes back and we start doubling Durant more and Sengun less.
I assume you mean the lineup at the beginning of the 2nd Q, which was Bronny/LaRavia/Vando/LeBron/Hayes. I agree that this looks bad offensively,...
Kennard was on fire tonight, but it was no fluke. Even if he didn't go 5-5 from 3, he could have gone 2-5, and it would have been an entirely...
LeBron raving about this in the post-game, and his mom getting to see her son and grandson in the same game in the playoffs, makes it clear yet...
F*** Karl Malone
Thanks. Yeah, that makes the Bronny contract very frustrating. I don't mind him being on the team, but should be a 2 way, not taking up Goodwin's...
And would the consequences of going past the 1st apron been worse than having Goodwin? I know the 2nd apron is a no-no, but don't know how harsh...
