The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[elpablo21]

Not really tripping about the path Pop took either way. The team wasn't winning that much regardless and 60 games wasn't going to really screw up anyone's trajectory. No matter how annoying Sochan at PG minutes were tbh

IDK if its Laissez Faire, but it was too experimental at the start of it. You look at things post the move to center and its all been stellar/when the game started getting easier for him. It was always there, we all knew it was there, and maybe it should have been done earlier, but its not like Pop is oblivious and not seeing the truth.

i understand it takes some time for a rookie to get involved and comfortable with his surroundings, but pop may have well stayed home the first 20 or so spurs games and the results would've been the same imo.

i'm not a coach, but i found it kind of frustrating as a fan of the game

Like I told y'all. When the Warriors are doing well this thread knows no peace.

The nastiness infects every corner of the thread, like a parasite

Delusional Dubs fans be coming out of the vents like the Flood in Halo. Every day I open this thread and it is...

"5 ON DAY WAYYYYY"

I think the only egregiously bad Pop decision playing Sochan as the de facto point guard. I think it was defensible to start Collins next to Wemby to start the season and to play him in six minute spurts.

Agreed. That is the too experimental part of it all.

I don’t have actual data to back this up, but I believe a high percentage of people with the name “Lester” are agitators/trouble-makers.

Houston system was ridiculous. They had a limit on midrange jumpers. Makes perfect sense why they always crashed and burned (and it wasn't the warriors every year so don't start the excuses).

They definitely could’ve made it a point to work on developing Sochan’s ball handling and distributing while also having an actual point guard out there alongside him.

Lester Quiznos isn’t NBA talent,too trash to be talking like that to anyone even ifs Grant Williams

Last night I had a dream that this was the ECF. I didn't even know this game was being played today. I can feel it.

Big man picked up some early fouls plus the volume scorer took 4 less shots than he normally does

I went 4/6

I want to like this. With all my heart, I really do.

But you have been on a ridiculous cooler with your NBA takes, I just can’t.

Thought that was a rep. Disregard.

Wemby is the best player in the NBA and the gap is getting insurmountable
