Citing the trendy stats*

I like how the Mavs is building their team.

They acknowledge the power of the guards on offense
They went light on bigs (expensive KP to cheaper woods)
They can play Kleber-DFS at both small and big line-ups
They even have a 6th man in THJ, just in case

In theory. I could also see Doncic and Woods sulking their way into a team implosion.

Yeah, I think he's a great fit there as a roll man that can also stretch the floor. Powell and Kleber have been good with Luka, and he kinda provides a combination of the two offensively.

Weird how Dallas would see how the Porzingis thing played out and then turn around and take a chance on another three & block big with an awful personality.

Wouldn't Mo Bamba have been a better play for Dallas?

we don't have Steph Curry

I feel like in this revisionist Wiggins victory tour people are forgetting that aspect

I mean Wood only has 1-yr 14M on his contract so it’s a pretty low stakes experiment compare to the money that Porzingis is owed.

I'm old school I'm all for players being tough. But there is a fine line between being tough and causing irreparable damage to yourself.

Poor man’S Tobias

Tobias is a poor man's Tobias. Nothing is worse than Tobias. Now give us good value for Tobias.

Mik317 · Post #212 » by **Mik317** » Thu Jun 16, 2022 5:01 pm

He’s reverse Tobias rn. Lots of threes. Ass at midrange atm. Passing well. Kinda mid on defense

But no seriously if this was us there’d be a bunch of can The two Js coexist articles. They haven’t had good games at the same time this finals and that might be the killer

Robert Williams about to learn why Kawhi had his own personal medical staff. If I were him, I’d be asking myself if the Celtics would be acting the same if it was Tatum coming off meniscus surgery.

I dunno, regardless of contract, you gave up a 1st round pick do bring in a dogcrap person that likely won't get along with Doncic.

Mad respect to Robert Williams for playing through injury.

Joel Embiid does it on an annual basis in the postseason.

I hope Boston isn't taking advantage of him, though.

Contrary to beliefs of some, Tatum is not a very good shooter. He's about league average. The Finals is an outlier to what he normally is.

Yeah, i don’t quite get the narrative of Wiggins “locking up” Tatum by holding him under 40%. Tatum shooting under 40% over a random 5 game stretch is not an unusual outcome.

Kobblehead · Post #218 » by **Kobblehead** » Fri Jun 17, 2022 12:42 am

Tatum's just shoots a ton of bad shots. All pullup threes and stuff. If he had a normal shot selection, he'd shoot over 40% from three.

Negrodamus · Post #219 » by **Negrodamus** » Fri Jun 17, 2022 1:38 am

Yea, it's definitely Wiggins saving the Warriors this series and not Steph Curry throwing up awkward 3s that all go down. Dude's body just spazzed and he drained a three.

Oh my god Steph
