Reminds me of the Knicks, lol

AD is 13th in mpg, 11th in minutes played, according to basketball reference (not counting tonight's game)

Today’s game brought him from 11th to 5th lol

That would be like Sham posting all night long to reach 150,000 posts

Each post would be either "No" or "Jesus" so he might pull it off

The Heat got crushed by GS at home.

The Bucks lose to the Lakers in Milwaukee.

Mikal 3rd on the list. Perfect for the Knicks

Nice to see Adam SIlver pulling the necessary strings in order to have his number 1 cash cow Lebron in the NBA finals.

Hooking an arm versus going for the head and throat area is an easy call i think.

Is SGA the best guard in the league, all due respect to Jalen?

Looking forward to Canada in the Olympics this summer with hopefully the best backcourt in the world, SGA and Murray.

Dr. Bluntson says maybe if Daigneault didn't coach to win every game and if SGA didn't play 70 games and 34.4 mpg he wouldn't be banged up! FIRE HIM!

AD playing 52 minutes and SGA playing injured. These coaches keep trying to win meaningless regular season games for no reason!

Getting Beal basically for the fuq of it was so stupid IMO. He's so redundant with Book and Book is just better at what Beal does at this point than Beal is. And on top of that you basically locked in that your perimeter defense with your best 3 players on the floor was going to be at best below average.

So the actual Net Rating numbers are good when they play together according to Cleaningtheglass but, there are definitely some warning signs. They're defense when their Big 3 plays together is awful. It's in the 37th percentile. So, I think the root of their issues in the 4th quarter, where they have struggled the most, is that when opposing teams can lock in defensively they can stop them enough to beat them while the Suns can't stop a nosebleed while their big 3 are on the floor.

Of course. I'm not defending Green, I just hate when players hook the arm.

Absolutely, I'm with you. A hook in pick up ball might cause a fight. :lol:

Every team seems to be facing injuries heading into the home stretch. Let's see how healthy the top teams are once the playoffs start.

LeBron addresses something that I feel is so underrated in terms of evaluating players, especially guys with scoring chops: How good are they at making reads?

I used to have this debate on the other board, the reason i never liked Cam Thomas' game is because dude can't make the correct reads to save his life. People get caught up in someone who can get buckets 1 v 1 but if they don't know what to do when they start drawing gravity they can hurt a team more than help it regardless of how good they are at scoring.

Like, Isaiah Hartenstein's biggest strength offensively to me is his ability to read the floor from the center position. It's what makes him a better fit in the starting unit than Mitch (who i think is a solid player). Those 2 to 4 assists and hockey dimes add up quickly
