As a german i think you needs to chill. If you put the best possible team together you will win it 10 out of 10 times. This hasn't change since 1992.

If they get a real center and a coach that knows what He's doijg they win 10 out of 10

Noah Lyles made y’all look stupid as fukk.

Also the current nba play style is fukking buns .

-I’m late maybe this been addressed but….Ingram had a ‘illness’ after getting benched? Am I following this right

-Kerr exposed. The foreshadowing was when he was close to having Ant come off the bench on this talent barren team

- That also ties into Draymond-ification of US hoops. These analytics white boys have gone away from actual pure talent. Ie why tf is Josh hart even on the team…Cam Johnson overrated. JJJ in another era would be a dominant big man but in this era he’s a ‘switchy 3&D big’. Man had 8 and 3 outplayed by old school brute strength Daniel Theis

All these euro teams even with a big oaf were scoring down low

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Most post ups per game in the NBA last season:

1. Nikola Jokic (Serbia)
2. Joel Embiid (TBD)
3. Nikola Vucevic (Montenegro)
4. Anthony Davis
5. Jonas Valanciunas (Lithuania)
6. Jusuf Nurkic (Bosnia)
7. Domantas Sabonis (Lithuania)
8. Luka Doncic (Slovenia)
9. Alperen Sengun (Turkey)
10. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece)

Thanks for the stats fam. You can tell the Americans are severely lacking in the post. It’s sad. This is a clear hole that needs to be addressed. Less Chris Brickley, more working with older players with legit skillset like Dream, Duncan, KG etc

Grant Hill.

Who did you want that he didn’t get?

 

[Hoodoo Child]

You can blame Brunson, you can blame Reaves, you can blame Hali etc, but the major seller of the game was JJJ. DPOY but he has trouble rebounding and defending .

Blame Kerr

The wings are one thing. Guards, they'll be fine. The rebounding is a problem.

Last year's league leaders in rebounds per game, 9 of the top 11 were foreign bigs. Randle was the only one in the group that's American.

Looney would be perfect for team USA. No ego, a brute down low and rebounding machine. Nasty screen setter too.
