It was a no brainer. You know I posted this should be considered as well by your team

TimeLord had to go. You already have a logjam of bigs with Porzingis and Horford, plus TimeLord despite his injury record for me is the more important piece even more than Brogdon

Now I would argue y'all are the favorites in the East maybe the entire league self
It’s not an argument, it a reality that based on our roster we are the favorites. Infact, over the last 2 seasons we have had high odds. Big credit to Brad Stevens for continuously making this roster competitive at the highest level.

With all that being said, we have a coach who is more obsessed about himself and ego than staying out of the way of the team. The way we lost to Heat last season still haunts me and it has everything to do with coaching.

The only question mark on your team right now is the coach - he could get outcoached, even with all the talents you guys have

More like "Would", infact "Would always get outcoached".

There is also the issue of holding the superstar players accountable and disciplined.

Bruhhh and we are also forgetting Khris in this equation. Not having to be the second option on offense is perfect for Him. Assuming everyone is fit, you are going to see a few more 40points game from Him with how open He'd be.
Every Middleton iso this up coming season will be against the 3rd best defender the opposition has and that will be huge for the Bucks.

His comp entering the draft was Jared Goff. Looks like a much more mobile Jared Goff which is not a bad thing at all.

Demeco Ryan has found something there

The two issues like you pointed out first one is the coach I'm not totally sold with his rigidity and infatuation with 3pt spamming

The other issue is size. Which I might have overlooked initially. Y'all are not a big team, even Porzingis these days wants to play like a guard and spam 3's and that's ignoring the injury history which will leave you with Horford who was pretty much aging in real time as we were watching in the playoffs

Looking at the Bucks the size advantage might be a problem for you guys

I saw him take a quick release 3 in last night's game and I said to myself, nah, this ain't CP3 grin. That was the only 3 he attempted for the entire game.

Jordan Love is annoying the hell out of me right now.

Man can’t have 2 decent halves. The only thing that has kept us is our defense.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:26am On Oct 10, 2023
Nothing wen anybody go tell me, J. Love is color blind.

There is no other way to explain those 3 INTs angry

The Celtics have hired Jeff Van Gundy as a senior consultant for basketball operations.

The egotistic Meerkat is getting all the assistance he needs to stop getting in the way of this team from winning a championship.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:38am On Oct 18, 2023
Phillies pitching has been filthy this postseason and when you combine that with power hitting from Schwarber/ Harper then you may be talking about WS champions.

The kid's already superb with his shooting especially off the dribble, decent speed, blocking, handling plus his unreal height as evidenced in your clip, Basically a porzingis with more advanced abilities, spurs fans will probably be licking their lips at the prospect of a probably bigger superstar than Tim Duncan if all goes well

I told a fellow fan real madrid will consistently make the playoffs if they were based in the NBA, he didn't agree, It's only them and anadolu efes of turkey from Europe I believe can hold their own against some NBA teams despite the difference in rules and talent, Afterall the Mavs biggest star Doncic was nurtured at real madrid balocensto

The Harper vs Trout arguments always comes up at times like these. I'm sorry but Mike has to find way to leave the Angels within the next year or two. Ohtani is most certainly gone next year.

Trout would always get the nudge over Harper because he is better and that’s the truth. However, Trout’s career will be significantly tainted if he remains with the Angels and Harper goes ahead and wins a WS championship.

Trout’s situation is one that even the MLB tried to rescue. The MLB tried for 2 season to make him the face of the league but that failed because Mike doesn’t really care about the limelight. Now the league is struggling with a face, especially since F. Tatis Jr of the Padres has a lot of issues.

And yes l Ohatani is done with the Angels. I expect one of the traditional big teams (Red Sox/ Yankees/ Dodgers) to land him.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m):
Lmaoo Mavs that did not even make play-in last season. They were not a top 10 team in the West ffs and worse Kyrie and Luka played a combined 5 minutes of said game

Poor reference point and peak pre ejacing going on here

Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 7:51am On Oct 19, 2023
grin Someone did a salary dump for a 23-year-old PG who averages 20 points per game.
Poole is obviously in a perfect situation with the wizards, he gets to play on his own team with less demand for defensive attention but the warriors goofed trading him for a bag of chips.

Poole is a starting caliber PG in the NBA.
