ATL - LMA retires with heart issue - pg 78

[jschligs]

Miami does not have a weak point in their 10-11 deep rotation - I think they are going to be a really tough out.

Well, they have a weak point in terms of injuries which is a huge factor.

I've seen these guys play a lot. Smart teams make Robinson play defense by relentlessly hunting him. The Bucks need to figure out a way to do that whenever he's on the court.

I was watching the game ...was that yesterday? ...against Portland and when they went at him it was a bucket of a foul.

This was probably my biggest complaint about the Miami series. Idgaf if he's guarding Wes Matthews; you give him and his measly 7.4 ppg the damn ball. But noooooo, let's let Khris work on Iggy or Butler or Crowder and let Giannis charge into Crowder with Bam waiting for him at the rim.

Other than Crowder, Miami's shooters couldn't defend and their defenders couldn't shoot, but Milwaukee let them off the hook the entire time on both counts.

Slight correction:

16 trades
23 teams
34 draft picks for OKC the next 7 years
46 roster players

ETA I really cannot get over how many draft picks they have. They could screw up 33 times, hit on the 34th, and be good. Lol.

I don't really have any jealousy over OKC. I dont think any of those picks are valuable except their own and they look to be too good to get a stud. It's not even like they can trade 3 future first for an entry level all-star until they have someone to actually build around otherwise they building around an entry level all star.

What?? They own Houstons draft for years. The Pels picks largely suck but OKC has a real treasure trove.

They have a pick swap with Houston this year if Houston isn't top 4.

After that they own houstons 24 and 26 1st round picks both top 4 protected and turn into 2nd rounders if not conveyed.

So yeah thats nice. Houston is a **** show so I guess even if they try to be competitive maybe they end up like the Nets and still suck but generally with any level of competence you can be at wost late lotto bad if you try. OKC better hope those picks convey because dropping to a second rounder is quite the downgrade. Houston was dumb doing the westbrook trade but at least put that top 4 protections on the picks.

Minor thing but one of the '1sts' that gets reported that they have is straight up fugazzi, the Warriors 21 1st is top 20 protected or turns into a 2nd. Ain't no way GS finishes with a top 10 record this year.

Heat are the only team that scare me. We couldn't defend their guards before n now they added dipo. At least we no longer have to see kelly f* Olynyk's face every time he drains a 3 after brook leaves him open.

When we finally started going after Robinson they literally had to stop playing him. Maddening.

How many games did it take before we started going under screens against butler? Just a poor all around job in the series.

It was like literally the key to the series that any casual/National color commentator could easily pick out before the games started. Attack Robinson, Herro, Dragic in that order and try to play them off the court.

Bud is like, nah. Giannis, 1-on-4 is how we roll.

So what you're saying is we need to try Donte as a small ball 5.

[FrieAaron]

Just to make sure I'm reading that correctly, they're saying top 99% in finishing at the rim when adjusted for difficulty. As in terrible?

[Prez]

That Heat series by Bud was one of the worst playoff coaching performances I’ve seen in a while. Just the most basic ass adjustments that everyone was calling for and we push that to series to 7 at least. If we had basically any other starting PG besides Bled we win.

[emunney]

Yep! Adjusting for shot difficulty, which I'm not sure what data they're using to control for that, he's better than only Donte and Boogie, which means either Donte or Boogie are the worst.

[Ron Swanson]

For how much of an outlier Drummond is in both size and freakish athleticism, it's pretty pathetic how awful he's been as a finisher throughout his entire career. I'll never forget the playoff series vs. the Pistons where BroLo absolutely stonewalled him and it looked like he quit right on the floor. So yeah, I expect he'll fit in perfectly with the Beta crew over in LakerLand.

[paulpressey25]

John Hammond and Jeff Weltman are just made for each other. Here was Weltman on the Magic trades yesterday.

Someone told me after the deadline that there were only three first-round draft picks that got traded Thursday, and they were all traded to the Orlando Magic. So the league understands how precious these picks are

If McKinsey could write a consulting manual for NBA GM’s, these two would author it.

That's how Giannis rolled too.

Every pick and roll he ducked the screen instead of making them switch. Instead of getting Robinson or Herro on him. Every single one.

[MickeyDavis]

Wood and Brown starting for Houston, DJ and DJ in the rotation. And they lose to Minnesota. Easy to get box score numbers on a bad team.

I sometimes wonder if having to deal with a brain dead PG was related to the unwillingness to adjust. The Bucks have been making nonstop adjustments now that they have a smarter roster.
