Splash bros and the bad boys, gonna be a good show
GSW mid-key looking beatable this year...
Looking back at it, that CP3 hamstring injury was the end. Fukked up everything short and mid-term. Buddy was about to commence his magnus opus and he could sense it; swagged out doin the Curry mock shimmy, big bro'ing Harden to enjoy the moment/snap out his mental midgetry, had the whole team on another level. Now he's at a point where he prob needs the season off bc the hamstring has been nagging him all season, and Pringles ain't one for managing minutes or diversifying the offense to where we don't have to rely on 1-2 ppl doing everythingThey were beatable last year it's just CP3 got hurt and the Rockets missed 27 straight 3s.
Zach Lowe features Morris in his latest:
The stagnation of Markieff Morris
John Wall's occasional indifference has come to symbolize Washington's sullen listlessness, but on bad nights, Morris works just as well.
After a hot start as sixth man, Morris has reverted to his worst form as the Wiz have lost six of seven. In Phoenix, Morris had the vague outlines of a jack-of-all-trades -- a power forward who could post up, shoot 3s, make plays for others, and switch across all five positions.
Morris hasn't made big strides in any of those areas. When Washington asks Morris to blitz pick-and-rolls, he too often lurches at half-speed:
Teams are plundering the Wiz when Morris shows on the pick-and-roll, per Second Spectrum. He's a disinterested rebounder, perhaps the main culprit behind Washington being on pace for the worst defensive rebounding rate since 2015. Voracious glass-eaters know they can outwork Morris:
Morris' defensive rebounding rate is 5 percentage points lower than we would expect based on his size and his position upon the release of all shot attempts, the 16th-worst figure among 193 defenders who have been on the floor for at least 500 rebounding chances, per Second Spectrum.
Morris is unplayable at center, which is a problem considering the state of Washington's actual centers. Some bigs never develop into high-volume 3-point shooters. Playing next to two star guards quashed Morris's nascent passing. His regression everywhere else is more disappointing.
tbf he’s not lying. doesn’t mean Tatum is a top 10 player, he’s just really young, pretty good for his age, potential to be a franchise player and is on his rookie dealSimmons put Tatum in the top 10 of nba trade value
