2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

Pistons are the better team man, come on SVG

They're not the better team.

They could be eventually if SVG has full control though.


It's crazy to think that Drummond could be playing for GSW right now but they chose Barnes.

His crazy sister in law but really though who's Solange. Insert @EightFiveFresh Wiz shoulder shrug gif.

If Nash shot more his efficiency and assist rate both would've dropped and so would the team's O Rtg.

So was that 2004-2005 playoff run an anomaly? He shot more than the regular season (11.4 FGA vs 17.8 ), his FG% went up (50% vs 52%), his assists were about the same (11.5 vs 11.3) the assist rate dipped slightly (49 vs 44). The offense was as efficient. The guy is such a great shooter, I just don't know man.

Coulda waited for Bogut to get healthy and trade him for more offense off the bench too.

Yep it's that easy

Why does he want to come back to coach a losing roster

Why does he want to come back to coach a losing roster

They will make the playoffs next season. so basically he would be coaching a 1st round exit either way to be honest.

SVG?

probably because he is getting that player personnel power he probably can't get in a more established team.

No shots at you, but I never understood why people focus on the NOW. 

To think a team/roster is gonna stay bad forever is foolish, so if you're confident in yourself and your ability; as I'm sure SVG is, why not take on a losing roster?

Those numbers are a little misleading because his minutes went from 34 a game to 41, his assist rate dropped. His TS% did stay the same on a higher usage rate though so it's a fair point, against three top 10 defenses too. It's always tough to use 15 game samples though, I'm not sure he could've maintained that over a full season.

Being in the East also helps. The West is so loaded that even with a more talented roster, it's hell to just make the playoffs. You don't even have to have near a winning record to make the playoffs in the East.

How can you blame SVG for not wanting to be Lacob's puppet?

Look at how he treated Mark. You really think any respectable coach wants to be spied on at practices and workouts? You think SVG wants to be walking on egg shells everyday he walks into those Warrior facilities?

I know the talent difference between GS and Detroit is obviously significantly huge... But no one wants to go to work and feel like what they're doing is being micro managed and overruled by people above them.

If he has an opportunity to be his own boss and not have to worry about Lacob and his posse watching over him every day from the rafters... How could you blame him for considering?

 

[awwsome]

Yep it's that easy

Don't be mad bruh.

 

[MVP]

Ten years ago today...damn I'm getting old.

 

[licensed to ball]

What's weird is my dude Jumpman was appalled by the front office for how they treated Mark, but now he's laughing at SVG for asking for control so he's not treated the same way Mark was. As if the Warriors front office is full of Mother Theresa's.

Would you want to be in Marks shoes? So why would SVG?

Pretty respectable request IMO. It ain't like he asked for ownership. He doesn't want to be micromanaged and spied on by dudes who're illegally recording meetings and practices. He wants his own staff. What's wrong with Tha?

 

[Cashflow]

The East could potentially be wide open for the taking next season. I'd hop all over that Detroit situation if I were SVG.

I wonder what if any free agents the Wizards will attract in the offseason. With there youth and success this year I'd expect players will give them a look. Could a Lebron or Melo shock the world and come here?

I'm not mad at all. Just the stupid stuff that gets posted in here go a trade this person and get this person. NT GMs always give me a good laugh

 

[trynafeelmink]

If SVG goes to the pistons there a playoff team.... They SEVERELY under performed IMO. With Drummond/Monroe i see no reason they couldn't fight for an 8th seed in the east, especially considering the Bucks with the same B.Jennings did the exact thing the year before without Those two big men & josh smith.

And speaking of SmithDo you think he could take his game to a new level if coached by the right guy? I mean the thought of him going to a SA or DAL and finally being in a system that he'll be demanded to respect has always been appealing to me.

I would Def take Josh at 12 a year over splitter @ 9 a year.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

It doesn't take much to make the playoffs in the east win 33-37 wins should be enough to get the 8th seed

 

[antidope]

I guess, but is that really worth it? I'd take a shot at a title with GS (I think they can do it one day fight me) over the Pistons who will proabably make the second round at best

 

[trynafeelmink]

The Warriors as constructed aren't going to be better than the Thunder, Rockets, Clippers & maybe Portland for the next few years..

In the East you have a elder heat team,
Indy

& then who else? Every other young team is in the exact position the Pistons are in

Eh, GS's roster is still flawed as currently constructed and don't really have any flexibility moving forward in the immediate future until 2016 at the earliest. I mean Mark Jax got them to play defense finally and they still fired him. Don't see GS being better than OKC, LAC, or HOU and POR in the next 2 years.

 

[antidope]

You'll see. 26-12 year for Steph Curry is coming and then you'll all see.

 

[grandtheftbike]

if steph avgs 26/12, i'll eat the blazin wings

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Its funny to me that people don't realize that while Mark Jackson might have done an ok enough job to be still coaching, he was pretty much an *******. When Jerry West wants to watch your practice, you let him watch your practice. He acted like an ******* and lost his job for it, simple.
