Around the League: 2022-23 Season 3.0

[Bum Adebayo]

Claxton sucks. Just a skinny dweeb who is a quick jumper that blocks a lot of shots. He can't guard anyone in the post and would be eaten alive by any post scorer in a playoff series.

He has the best defensive plus-minus in the league among centers

Shout out to BumAdebayo.

You got it wrong, I don't give a **** about plus/minus absolutely meaningless stat, it's all about ESPN RPM, and it looks like Claxton is the 22th best player in the NBA, helped by his amazing defense. He is basically a Jaren Jackson with considerably worse offense. Still, obviously a better player than SGA and Darius Garland

[Sixerscan]

Both those stats are worthless. There’s no good defensive all in one stat. Basically just another way of saying they have a lot of the limited inputs we have on defense (blocks steals rebounds)

Claxton certainly benefitted from playing with KD and Kyrie this year. Ever since the trade deadline his production has fallen off a cliff.

My gut feel is Bum Adebayo and Stormi are same person. I like the humor of both guys.

Jimmy Butler tired of losing.

Jimmy Butler tired of losing.

His contract is gonna be poison already the next season or the one after, he's basically stuck there.

Role players score 40. Star players 50-60 then 60-70.

man that clips/nugs game was insane...until overtime when LA seemingly bent over.

day started with a tough loss for us, but end of the day we are still in 4th, and didnt even have the worst showing of the day (cough dallas cough)

Malik Monk following up his 45 pointer with 12 yesterday was the most predictable thing ever.

I was just taking a look at the Western Conference standings and wanted to share our current record against the top 8 teams:

Denver 1-0
Memphis 1-1
Sacramento 2-0
Phoenix 1-0
LA Clippers 2-0
Dallas 0-0
Golden State 1-0
Utah 2-0

8-1

Not trying to discount their conference, but I think if this is the year we make the Finals, I really believe our biggest test will be in the ECF versus Boston or Milwaukee.

[Murray_17]

The Phoenix match is kind of an asterisk tho. Need to see how the KD-Suns look before making any judgment

[76ciology]

Now rox is signing WCS. Morey and the Rox FO shares the same excel sheet? I think they’re using the old file because McNair has the latest file and he’s using it with the Kings.

There's no doubt about it. Although we haven't seen Durant on the Suns. Feel like people are sleeping on how ridiculous that will be.

Regarding defense.

I like the combination of DFG% and on vs off numbers.

He was not so good in February but even a washed Dragic is a better playmaker than Shake Milton will ever be.

Agreed. He'd be a great fit next to Maxey when Harden sits. I know that Maxey and Milton are really tight but that's the business of the NBA.
