Should've been updating stuff but I've been laughing on RealGM too muchWhere's my extensive breakdown of why Tony Parker had 24 and 11 and Monk dropped 20 in what looks like a decisive win. I was on a company trip bum fukk nowheresville Georgia and missed the gane.@42 Monks @Tobias @Henry Orbit @Morose Polymath
Jeremy Lamb is wild disappointing and playing like he don't know its a contract year. Don't let the steals fool you, he can't even front post defenders and because of that the switch heavy defense goes to shyt since he always needs help. Offensively, he's turned into old Stephen Jackson. Yal know how that looked
and I'll leave it at that.Tony Parker was a great signing. Even when he's putting up no numbers, he's the spark plug - and low key the best at collapsing defenses because he's ALWAYS in the paint. He seems to have chemistry with everyone too. Damned good addition. He had Tyler Johnson ready to cry last night. Defensively... he's no worse than Monk and Lamb anyways so its whatever. Guys can cry about it, but he's a great net positive to the team and the reason why our bench is an asset for the first time in a fukking decade. He also lets us play extreme small ball too. You'd think a Parker/Kemba/Monk or Lamb/Batum/MKG lineup would never make sense but what do I know. shyt works don't question it.
Monk finally got his confidence back and its just obvious dude is a streaky shooter. Nothing wrong with that, but because he's a pretty boy when it comes to going to the rim he doesn't get fouled that often. Shooters need to get to the line to break slumps and he hasn't learned that yet. He's a better playmaker than people give him credit for and he's a guy you always give a chance to in late game scenarios. He's clutch so you deal with the mistakes. Its basically his rookie year and he's got a real role for once.
Graham is fukking legit. End of discussion
Marvin Williams is officially headed to Larry Holmes Gardens. He does what he can, but he's basically super Anthony Tolliver at this point. Sad to see.
Zeller put on muscle this offseason. Which would be great if this was 2006. He doesn't get bullied inside anymore, but he's WAY slower off his feet and can't guard the perimeter like he used to.
WHG can't run at the rim for shyt. He's discount Al Jeff but thankfully Borrego has already realized that he's a pick and pop center and not a PnR
Biz can hoop still. And Borrege ain't like Cliff about it. Cliff would pull him because he fouls too much. Borrego will put Biz in and say "don't come back until you foul out
if they die, they die"MKG is back
Batum is inconsisent as fukk with higher highs than last season.
Miles Bridges is good and taking Marvin Williams spot permanently any day now. I still can't believe he's any good. I won't.
Kemba is low key a better defender than he is a scorer but no one cares about defense these days
Borrego is at the very least better than Cliff and its wild how he's installed the SA switch heavy defense in such a short time... I'm not saying he's a great coach or anything but he's definitely showing that he's better than most.
