ATL: The 2019-20 Season Has Begun

[msiris]

It's Cleveland but Brogdon is crushing.

I’m gonna be so pissed if this is for real and his efficiency really does translate to higher usage. He was REALLY good for us last year and I would’ve preferred to keep him over Khris.

Just another bad move by the Bucks. They already miss his ability to get to the rim. A lot of people cant see talent even if it bit them in the ass.

they lost

also brogdon did not want to play shooting guard anymore

He had the best +/- of their starting 5 by far. Sumner was starting. It's a trial whether their spacing besides Brogdon works. Combined 2 3's among the rest of the 4. He had 4.

And it didn't matter what position he wanted to play. He was a rfa and would have manned whatever position Bud deployed him at. Also isn't the type to sulk.

Wonder how long these rationalizations will go on.

i'd rather not match a guy that doesn't want to stay

i don't understand why that's such a crazy idea

[Coach Carter]

And they said he couldn't play the 1.....Watching an unselfish brogdon pass the rock and doing a good job at that, hurts. I guess he just wanted more time on the ball so he can ''get his'' as well as feed his teammates. Had he stayed, i don't think we would've utilised him this well. Remains to be seen what they do when dipo returns but for the time being, he has opportunity to flourish in this role.

Dennis Smith is getting booed at MSG. Crowd is chanting "we want Frank".

LuessiT, take a bow.

Oh I don't particularly care if the Knicks fans favour him over DSJ or not. I care about finding out wether I'm right or not labelling Ntilikina as a potentially good NBA player. And the fastest way to find out is Frank leaving.

It's good to have friends who care about you.

It's kind of kooky to concede better fitting, core talent, for next to nothing, when the guy isn't a cancer. He never had a negative influence on the team on or off the floor. His issues with role were minor and is fixed with winning. He acknowledged playing the 2/off the ball worked for him. It's what catapulted his rep.

The real reasons he's gone are: Lasry didn't want to go well into the repeater tax, he did want to partially put his stamp on the team, and the illusion that it wouldn't be much of a loss was created by the rest of the team sucking when he came back v. the Raptors and not falling apart after he got injured in the regular season. But that was w/ Hill playing like he was in his prime and Mirotic lighting it up. We're rationalizing why losing Malcolm was good or even ok for us. That was the reaction by few at the time.

The Suns have a bunch of players doing a a lot of good things, except for scoring big. Some nights Booker can do that for them, and on those nights I reckon they can beat anybody. The vets will do their job, it all depends on Booker really.

Barney's movie had heart. But Basketball in the Groin had a basketball in the groin.

Oubre is capable of doing it too on some nights, not consistently though.

With Ayton, that gives a 3rd guy who can do it.

i'm not rationalizing - i'm more than happy to drag the organization for the middleton contract

let's let the pacers win a game before we crown brogdon the new mvp

Warriors getting beat down by OKC. I'm not sure where they turn because they simply lack enough rotation level players. Maybe they try to mive Russell mid season for a package of playable role players.

Yeah, they are better off just giving up and tanking. Amazing that 2 finals teams are afterthoughts at this point.

No idea why they wasted so much money on Draymond and DLo. They are sitting at 150m until summer of 2022 and only drops because Curry is off the books. They will be paying Klay, DLo, and Green 98m in 2023. There only hope is a full Klay recovery and hitting on a big in the lottery.

The Thunder have a lot of guys I'm intrigued by: Ferguson, Bazley, Danilo, and even Paul.

Likewise. They might mess around and stay in the hunt of a low seed if they don't make a move or 3.

They will. Presti is too smart to let Gallinari and Adams (and Ferguson, to an extent) leave for nothing.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

Draymond Green and Chris Paul are on the court and Curry is the one who is getting a technical for hitting someone in the nuts.

Warriors getting whipped again
