Should be a better start to the season with Russ and Plumlee on for a full season. Of course we need Kawhi & PG healthy but the point guard spot and no back up big killed the team at the beginning of the season last year. Then the Wall experiment, the Reggie and Morris fall off but still getting big minutes was a mess. Gotta move Morris and get KJ, Kobe Brown, and maybe Moussa some looks at PF. That was a huge weakness for us as well. We'll see
PG takes games off with the Clippers in a way that he never did with the Thunder imo. If the choice is not saying anything at all or saying the stupid shyt PG does I'd choose silence 10/10. I don't need either of them to speak -- but if you do people are going to hold you to it. They just need to hoop. Not punt the regular season -- I'm not talking about load management, at their age and given their history you gotta be smart, but acting like the regular season doesn't matter is not acceptable given the history of this team.
That's the case now -- I don't believe that's been the case the entirety of their run. Also, playing the Kings, Grizzlies, Thunder, Pels, etc. is MUCH different than having to play Nuggets, Suns, or Warriors first round. I agree its likely match up dependent but punting the regular season doesn't give you any room to maneuver.
Facts. They definitely have to take the regular season more seriously. But also playing youth helps out tremendously for the regular season. The post season is for the vets and stars to shine and do their thing but the kids getting minutes takes a lot of pressure off during a grueling 82 game season. With our stars injured and load managing the regular season away, it didn't help when Reggie, Morris, Wall, Batum, Kennard, Norm(hot & cold) all got big minutes all season long. They're good somewhat good pieces if our stars are playing but on their own we were just spinning our wheels and going nowhere.
Just like us, heath is going to play a big factor in these teams success. Nuggets are solid all the way through. Dubs are old and just got a ton older with CP3. I see a lot of load managing for Bron this season. KD has to be healthy and he's getting up in age. Kings will make the playoffs. Gotta see how the JA situation pans out for Memphis. Gotta see if the Thunder has found their core. shyt is definitely going to be wild no doubt about it.
Definitely down to move Norm and Morris for sure. Not sure if we need Harden after resigning Russ. I actually want to see Mann, Bones, and Boston get their due this season.
This is a great point becuse i think a lot of the top seeds were teams that were the healthiest. I think the year the Suns beat us the had the best injury luck that season. Folks were saying the East was better than the West and that lasted, what, one season? Whoever makes it out the west likely going to be whatever team was the healthiest.
I think if that was enough to get it done they'd have already done it. Morey want a Rudy Gobert package
for Harden.
It’s gonna be enoughI think if that was enough to get it done they'd have already done it. Morey want a Rudy Gobert package
Imma be real I was big on bones before the draft but I don’t think he much of anything after watching him in the league with the mindset he has now..
It wasn’t even impressive nothing he was doing .. he an nba player show me something .. hopefully I’m wrong but he trash frYeah I saw that. He's like Skip to my Lou-Rafer Alston. He has his And-1 street game and switches it up to his organized NBA game
