Do we have 24 minutes per game to give to Vando? Feels like he and LaRavia competing for the same minutes. I think Rui's locked in at like 30ish...
Yeah teams are very willing to just switch LeBron/center P&Rs now and he can only blow-by the bigs that switch onto him a few teams every game....
I don't know why the Kings wouldn't just play Ellis at PG. LaVine, DeRozan and Sabonis can do all of your ballhandling, Ellis seems like an ideal...
I'm most interested to see what he can do to punish switches. Compared to the P&Rs he was running with CP3 in Phoenix and Scoot/Simons/whomever...
We're not getting Giannis either. He already couldn't bring himself to force his way out of Milwaukee this summer, I can't see him going full...
They realized after the 2022 Finals that Tatum and Brown as your Top 2 leaves a bit to be desired from a playmaking/creation standpoint, so they...
Not a good update on Thiero. Probably won't be a contributor until 2026-2027.
Tangential to the Horford conversation - I'm very interested to see what happens with the C Bags over the next year. There's already video of...
20/10/2 with good defense is probably the 3rd best center in the league behind Jokic and Wemby lol, maybe 4th if Embiid actually plays more than...
We won the Warriors series largely because we benched Vando and gave most of his minutes to Dennis, Rui and Lonnie. And that's the best version...
I'm keeping an eye on Kessler next summer or maybe at the deadline if Ayton doesn't work out or works out so well that he becomes too expensive.
Austin was targeted on defense because we were so switch heavy. We were willing conceding Austin switches onto Randle during that series because...
Yeah I don't get it either and can't think of another example of this. Even if they thought he was awesome and the best coach in the league,...
It would take way more than that for teams to change how they guard him. No one is thinking twice about leaving Vando to help on Luka, LeBron or...
My pause on this is that we'd be really thin at guard (Austin and Smart are really our only legitimate guards, Luka isn't a guard). Gabe is kind...
Doesn't playing Vando in those lineups kind of defeat the point? If the point of Bron/Rui at the 5 is to play true 5-out on offense and force the...
Smaller defenders work on some wings, but yeah not Luka. Clippers tried it with Pat Bev in those playoff series and Luka annihilated him. We saw...
Would be funny if we got DFS back for Gabe lol.
So VanVleet tore his ACl. That is a huge loss for the Rockets, he's the table-setter for a team that already had a clunk halfcourt offense....
Yeah I'd be into that. I know Thybulle is a really good defender, but is he the same type of defender as Gabe? Is he a POA, screen-navigator...
