One day we'll have a talk in here on how we value offensive impact and defensive impact in basketball and if ppl view them as equal or one more than the other

There's 2 way players who aren't better than certain players but it's always used as a crutch to prop them up

Finals starts next Thursday?

Denver might as well take a little vaca and hit Cancun with the Show.

See 0:30 is what I am talking about with Adele asking Rich basic questions and him being annoyed

So Anthony Davis is American Gobert?

American Giannis minus the HB dive

Lakers had the best defensive rating in the playoffs going into this series against a team that most consider to have 3 weak defenders starting. And got swept

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Maybe. After playing a whole 48 only to see your number 2 go out like that, I’d be hot too. Add to it all the time spent rehabbing. Maybe he wants to be a family man.


He ain’t retiring.

I see you are excusing degenerate behavior

 

[IATT]

Their just happy to see LeBron AND the lakers lose

dont forget the 2nd part of the equation.. always a good day when certain teams catch an L

 

[Brownstone]

Reaves & Rui are both restricted and will both be retained at whatever price.

They’re going to actually get lucky with D’Lo. None of the cap space teams are going to pursue him hard so they should be able to retain him on a good deal easily.

They’re probably getting unlucky with Dennis. They don’t have his full bird rights & he likely gets more than $4M on the market.

So you lose Dennis but retain Reaves, Rui, and D’Lo. D’Lo will be on a reasonable contract & will eventually be traded by February for a guard that can actually play past the 2nd round.

Bron/AD will get their off-season surgeries, come back healthy & the team will be in a far position to deal with any future injuries now that they have good role players. Bron won’t have to play 38-40 mins when AD is out & vice versa.

They’ll be right back in the mix.

I’m far less worried about them compared to a team like the Warriors.

Define reasonable for DLO? Taking a paycut entering your prime with no injury history and while coming off earning 30 mill annually doesn't really smell discount to me

If both series end in a sweep tonight, is the league really gonna go 8 days before the Finals or can they flex the start earlier?

 

[pmatic]

Insightful stuff from Melo.

 

[trynafeelmink]

you could go down the list of the past 20 championships to see how much defense matters even in a modern league that is built around giving the offense advantages

 

[HIM]

If anything, Melo announcing his retirement during the playoffs him trying to steal the shine from Bron.

Discussed this yesterday but Denver had more 2 way players and that’s what mattered ultimately. AG, KCP & Brown we’re better 2 way players than any laker role players.

I got a quick request tho. Look at Dlo’s defensive rating for WCF & show me AD’s defensive rating for the WCF with Dlo and without Dlo. I just wanna see

They can't. I was watching PTI yesterday and they brought it up. Can't flex the schedule.

I thought melo was retired already since he did not play this yr. Not sure that would've been bigger than anything playoffs related

 

[danger style]

“Lil Nicky”? nick. don’t ever let them play on your name like that!

Pizzo's figured out gambling everyone. Just bet on his favorite team and player. Who knew it was that easy all along?

 

[storm2006]

I imagine you can't because ABC has dedicated those specific 8:30PM slots to you and they have other programming and have other programming scheduled their leading up to June 1. The bigger issue is probably arena availability and them dedicating those days to the Finals, though.

American Giannis minus the HB dive

Naw. Giannis doesn’t check out of games.

 

[noblekane]

25 pages? come on yall

That's unfortunate, feel like that would drain a lot of the momentum the league's built up during one of the most intriguing, crazy and unpredictable postseasons in recent memory.

A full week+ between series would be wild
