What’s up with Hollinger….dude is on a mission to discredit Herro.

Herro is the 4th best player from his class, 3rd if Zion is Greg oden Jr and he literally can’t be put any lower

Now, if he had a legit rim protector playing next to him, the Heat might set modern day defensive records.

I'd actually go for Hartenstein. He's just scratching the surface. I was a fan of his in the draft. This year he was one of the better rim protectors in the league. I'm not sure how he ranks now, but at one point he was a top five rim protector. He's affordable too.

Yep hence why I prefer a defensive pest like bridges guarding best players and having our tallest player not on the perimeter. That’s why suns are successful coz they have ayton in the paint while bridges switches around..Like the spurs used to do with Bowen/Duncan..hence why warriors were successful with the 73-9 record with bogut in the paint and green out being a pest. In saying that the following years when green was playing centre and they dominated and won is an exception when they added durant..

If we have bam in that role that’s fine.. but your tallest player then can’t be 6’6 guarding the other teams 7’0 players.

Yeah, it's great when you can put constant pressure on the offense, but the defense can be exploited consistently. Switch, switch, switch, then Gabe is guarding the rim against the other teams big. Rinse and repeat.

Spobotnik does not want a rim protector. He values other skills.

Yep. Look at the Celtics.. why are they successful? Their centre (RW3) is 6’9.. Tatum and brown isn’t durant and Irving.. it’s because they have smart being a defensive pest and he’s a candidate for DPOY and the Celtics don’t get mismatches much often in the paint defensively.

I like what bam does but hate when we get murdered in the paint in return..I was on the get a PF before trade deadline wagon with a lot of others. If we don’t win it all I blame that as our slipped chance.. if we can get a tall PF that can shoot the 3 and defend inside in off season.. let bam do what he does, I believe this team will be much better next season

I hadn't looked at Love's numbers so I did and its beyond stupid. This is some Skip Bayless sheet. I'm not anti analytics but stuff like this does a lot to discredit analytic.

The numbers are not even close

Love: 13.4 pts on 42.5 FG % 38.4 3PT % in 22 mins
Herro: 20.7 pts on 44.7% FG 39.9 3PT % in 32.6 min

How is this a conversation. It ends at Love's 22 mins. It gets worse for Love when you compare the 4th quarter. Love is avrg 5.7 min (2.9 pts) in the 4th and Herro 9.8 min (5.6 pts). So one dude plays 10 mins more, scores more points more efficiently and plays virtually the whole 4th quarter, yet the other dude deserves the award for lesser contributions. This dude

This is sick and when you think about how Jokic made Bam look like a scrub this year, you really have to give Jokic the title of best in the world and another MVP.

Jokic is having one of the greatest years in recent memory. 27ppg, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 58% shooting from the field, 33 PER (highest ever). In retrospect, Embiid is averaging 31ppg, 12 rebounds, 4 assists on 49% shooting and 31.5 PER. And then there's Giannis averaging 30, 12 and 6 on 55% shooting and 32 PER.

Honestly, any one of these guys winning it is okay with me. Numbers are almost identical at the face value and the team records are almost the same as well. I'd favor Jokic though - I think he has less of a supporting cast than both Embiid and Giannis.

Small ball has made big men legit gods. Those numbers are wild.

We can't trust his 3 point shot.

Whichever C we put next to Bam HAS TO be a proven, consistent, knock down 3 point shooter or else the entire offensive flow dies.

Turner isn't a great shooter but a proven decent one.

C. Wood has the offense but brings suspect Defense, J.Grant can defend but he's playing more like a SF then a PF.
