Keegan Murray turned into a great ISO defender .56ppp on A- match-up difficulty (bball index; guards top perimeter players)

Miles Bridges NOT GUILTY. That means he could be our star F of the future to replace Tobi!
Get Bridges and KPJ in here for a massive boost in talent and athleticism.

This wasn’t for the original assault. That one he pleaded no contest in exchange for probation.
This isn’t an exoneration of his character. Still a POS.

Finally, we can have “violence at the rim”.
With their athletic ability.

Official veredict doesn't matter, Negrodamus knows all the details and has insider info about the case, Bridges is guilty and is a POS!

In the post, the mother of Bridges' two children detailed the injuries she allegedly sustained during her domestic dispute.
According to Johnson, she suffered "a fractured nose, wrist, torn eardrum, torn muscles in my neck from being choked until I went to sleep (with) a severe concussion."
The athlete's wife also shared a series of photos showcasing various bruises and marks on her body. The post ended with a heartbreaking video of her son detailing what he allegedly witnessed.
"Daddy choked mommy," her son explains in the video. He then goes on to reveal that during the violent dispute between his parents, Bridges threw Johnson’s phone out the window, presumably to prevent her from getting any help that would put the budding NBA superstar behind bars.
The no-contest plea means Bridges, who was present in court, is accepting the punishment and the conviction without formally admitting guilt in the case. Bridges was accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend in front of their two children in May. In July, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon's office filed three felony charges against Bridges, who initially pleaded not guilty to all three.
This is the initial court case. I don't need his "exoneration" from breaking his probation to destroy his wife's windshield with the kids inside the car to suggest he's still a POS. Unless Miles Bridges can go back in time and prove that he didn't beat the hell out of his wife in front of his kids in court, it'll be hard to convince me otherwise. Feel free to draw your own conclusions, Bum Adebayo!

Damn, I said how good Deni Avdija is and how we should've traded for him, now that he's exploding it's too late.

He was definitely mentioned as a trade target earlier this year.

Yea, I actually mentioned him before that other guy did. He was pretty late to being interesting in Deni Avdija.

Re: Around the League: 2023-24 Season
I've got receipts from 2022 on Avdija!
But this whole "we missed an opportunity there" idea after a guy has a big game is kinda silly. As though we know he was available (they just signed him to an extension this past summer) and for what.

I predict he will bounce back after the ASB and the team will be looking good, his buddies in the media will be praising him, but then he will flame out in the playoffs. This is the typical Doc's coaching arc. Then it will be at least another season of the exact same thing until they fire him.

The Bucks are kinda stuck. They have no ammo to make any significant trades and they are currently paying three coaches.
Glenn can coach up low talent teams to a surprising fifth seed, and then lose in the first round. You give him real talent and he will choke it away every time. He hasn't done anything since he left Boston.
Also after losing last night to a Grizz team that was playing G-Leaguers... he threw the entire team under the bus. So, so, so happy this loser is not here anymore. We tried to tell Milwaukee fans, but they insisted nothing was worse than Griffin.

We just need the Knicks and the Celtics to be battling it out on the other bracket while we wait to see who will emerge as the winner between them for the Eastern Conference finals after facing the Bucks in the second round.

Re: Around the League: 2023-24 Season
I was gonna say, Adrian Griffin has got to be shaking his head in disbelief right now. I really tried to like Rivers while he was here, but it was forced and the truth came out every damn postseason. We should have NEVER lost to the Atlanta Hawks. That alone should have told us enough.
I do think that this is the classic trend of Doc Rivers teams. After the break, the Bucks will have a nice run of games, BSPN will hype them up, Kendrick Perkins will say some stupid $hit, and they'll be either the 2 or 3 seed in the playoffs. After that we all know what will happen.
So glad he's no longer here. I could not support him any longer after the game 6 collapse against Boston. I'll never forget that loss. We had them! Tatum hit a big three and Doc never adjusted and that was all she wrote. Just a crippling loss. That game 6 loss was the worst loss I have ever witnessed this team take. We collapsed against Atlanta as well in game 5 I believe, but that paled in comparison to the Boston loss last season.

Re: Around the League: 2023-24 Season
Scoot Henderson has quietly gained some traction and shown improvement over the course of this season. Still a long way to go to live up to his draft position but I’m impressed by his ability to course correct & improve mid-season.

The thing I’ll never forget about Doc in that Hawks series was that he essentially forfeited game 1 because he decided Danny Green would guard Trae Young.

They should have beaten ATL in 21 and BOS last year even with a hobbled Jo.
