Tim Duncan's gtr

Was playing some backyard basketball with the family and they asked whether winner takes out or losers. Shyt got me thinking, how crazy would the NBA be if you score, you get possession again.

Good choices. Especially seeing that Dumars learned from his refusal to tank in Detroit.

Nah.. would be weird..

But one on one should always be loser to make it fair... Teams is winners..with outings... Basically forcing some defense..

Fukking shooters out there man..

Ironically that would lead to fewer threes. There would be a premium on getting the highest percentage shot every time. Then again teams would be looking to shut down the easier shots and more willing to give up threes.

So we're calling horrible free agent signings "anti-tanking" now?

Weak free agency and refusal to tank. He even admitted it.

Joe Dumars joins Woj

That team is still suffering from the effects of his reign.

Not really. Their moves since have been worse than when he was there. SVG been making moves and they have been awful. I really felt the move Joe made that I hated was Josh Smith to Detroit. It make no sense then. This is why analytics guys are critical to the decision making process. He felt it was a cheap deal only to realize Josh was being protected by Horford and his athletic ability was in decline. That was the one move that I felt hurt Detroit but not as bad as some of the moves after him.

That move along with others (keeping Monroe for so long...bringing in BJ) also stunted Drummond's growth as a player which goes back to my original point breh.

That BJ move awful for one reason. Middleton. BJ and Knight both really wasn't worth it. I felt like that move was silly. Great pick, silly trade.

How does he fit into a gtr though?
