right. if you ignore defense entirely, he was only "pretty bad" instead of "omg make it stop".
i do agree with AD that you need more than 20 games to integrate westbrook with those three. also, don't discount that the spirit was sapped by...
this is what i was thinking, and it fits our extreme overcorrection model. watch, next summer, the roster will be nothing but unproven young...
is that right? if he plays AFTER the season is over to pad stats... man, if i were AD, i'd quietly ask out. he just gets murdered for not...
yeah, those were just HUGE red flags and perfectly emblematic of what the season would be. we were too good to try. even lebron's oft-requoted...
lol, maybe the vogel haters on twitter can pay some dividends. "lakers are incompetently coached. westbrook will blow up as soon as he's out of...
yeah, and that started from the top. lebron's "i drink wine and love life" stuff was a cover. he was miserable all year long. russ was even...
i think it's more than a little unfair for the press to just pretend like injuries weren't the main thing here. we'd be comfortably in the...
still does. but it's weird that we gave walton 5 years and wouldn't give lue 5 years. and it's doubly weird to foist an assistant on any head...
and playing without at least one of our stars. basically, he puts up numbers on losing teams and couldn't find his way with lebron and AD. just...
i'd like to complain about the play-in again. minnesota is 8 games better than the 8-seed clippers and 10 games better than the other two play-in...
i'm conflicted, but i think doug is generally accurate here. especially with AD going out there and playing hurt. that's why i was advocating...
lol so weird that everyone waited until now to pronounce them dead and pick at the bones. it was over weeks, maybe even months ago.
cry and cry some more. because nobody else gets hurt and everybody produces like AD when they aren't.
yeah, lue wanted 5 years and the ability to pick his own staff. which is fine for him. our reason for not picking lue was silly (and symptomatic...
eh...it's possible, but other stars of similar stature played for less than the max at the end of their careers. dirk and duncan played for...
also, the bulls are in 5th place. people need to relax on the derozan worship. he's kind of the same dude he's always been. good, not great....
right, but nobody gives up in july. lots of teams give up in february. russ's value will be at its peak then (which still isn't very high). i...
i feel like i've successfully argued the first part over and over. the second part is accurate. AD was subpar to start the year, and that was...
nah. everybody else just plays through these, don't you know? and nobody else misses games or large chunks of seasons except like...almost everyone.
