If we wouldn’t need to hide KJ on defense in the NBA, then let’s just use him as a 5 in college Huh? He's an awful 5 in college. Nobody is suggesting they'd use him as a 5 in the NBA. But he does have the size speed and strength to guard the 3 in the NBA. Weird morning around here. I was poking fun...

Defensive metrics ( largely +/- vs the offense when player is on the court ) support Gobert here but stats/metrics are just kinda meh when it comes to that. In this case, I would very much bet because the Spurs defense is so shitty that Wemby gets more opportunities for those stats - i.e. dudes are...

KJ Adams isn't going to play in the NBA, come on.

You're having trouble following the convo.

I get it. Hard to jump in halfway through.

To be fair, it's somewhat of a useless hypothetical scenario.

Absolutely.

I also made that original post in mid February, so there's that.

Interesting.... https://www.instagram.com/p/C6r0FDlBfna/?igsh=aXJjdnprb3EwNGFp The NBA isn't giving DPOY to a player whose Spurs team was 24th in points allowed (T-Wolves were #1) and 23rd in fg% allowed (T-Wolves were also #1). and yet they gave rookie of the year to Wemby over Chet. Also, those a...

I'll believe it when I see it for Furphy. Mock drafts are fun though. I think KJ Adams is a more viable NBA player right now than Furphy. At least KJ could defend multiple positions. Furphy does nothing at an NBA level other than make wide open 3s. KJ Adams isn't going to play in the NBA, come on. ...

Well the Thompson twins are freakishly athletic guard prospects who are young and there is hope they develop a shot Kj isn't 19 nor a guard I get it. But you mentioned 6'7 guys who can't shoot, so I was curious if I could find many in the league right now. Shooting is almost a prerequisite in today...

Floppers

Fwiw (not much more than my post) during the regular season.... Boston beat Indiana by 51. Then lost to them by 10. Then beat them by 17. Then lost to them by 2. Then beat them by 5. Boston beat New York by 4. Then beat them by 16. Then beat them by 10. Then beat them by 14. Then lost to them by 9....

Not sure if Boston should want Indy or NY?

Indy probably more balanced. But Brunson is on fire right now.

True. I just meant that the 76ers actually had their full compliment of players, even though Embiid wasn't 100%.

It’s the Eastern semis.
( also I have Celts -8.5 )

I don't see how anyone left in the east can challenge them over 7 games.

The 76ers should have been that team.

Cavs overmatched. Celtics look semi bored.

This is a big series for Boston. Not necessarily that the Cavs will challenge them, but it'd be big to win in 4 or 5 games and get a few extra days rest before conference finals. Sure seems like Pacers/Knicks will go 6 or 7 based on game 1.

Just saw Zach Edey in my building. Wished him good luck in the draft - and left him alone - for those of you who find fault with and criticize me for talking to/with athletes. There are a lot worse things you could do than be nice to strangers in public. At least you're not (as far as I know) someo...

Pacers down 1, 12 seconds left, with the ball, refs call like the most ticky tack flop of a screen…gross He technically did it, but who makes that call with 12 seconds left? Lol Not as bad as the "kicked ball" when it was tied just under a minute. When the Pacers had a clean steal and pro...

If I'm an official I don't call that but I understand why it was called. I also think a borderline call like that, on review, should be able to be countered/reversed with a clear flop, which that was. Fwiw, I think they probably wanted to overturn it because it was a flop, but couldn't because he c...
