Dont be sad it ended, be glad it happened

[–] awritemate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

We were. Let’s see how this giddey drama plays out. Not only on how it affects Giddey, but they’re a young team, one would have to assume this is going to affect them all in some way.

[–] Rydahx@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's not like he was carrying the team, some were already annoyed with him before this drama happened.

[–] SensibleRex@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah the last 10 games Cason was gaining more of his minutes anyways

[–] awritemate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Oh absolutely. In terms or rotation I’m sure it won’t have that big of an impact. But we’re also sorta pretty drama free for the most part. Will be interesting to see if this drama has any sort of knock on effects on the other young players. Im afraid that whole Chet deleting the twins post may be just scratching the surface.

[–] Harman3112@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Y’all weren’t gonna be able to pay all of them and giddey was kinda the odd one out. Wallace is also good. Could be a worse situation for thunder fans

Wolves good.

[–] SlayerSFaith@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just remember, however bad IND's defensive rating is compared to other teams', it's slightly worse than that because they don't have to play against themselves.

[–] UBKUBK@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Similarly their offence would be slightly better also, but already at #1.

[–] TopOfTheKey@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The Pacers are must watch League Pass.

[–] spritehead@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wow the same hot take we’ve seen for four years in a row what an innovator in the take sphere

[–] Number333@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If they keep saying it for the next 10 years they're eventually gonna be right.

[–] screaminginprotest1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Idk man. If the league keeps letting us get away with this, we might never be uncompetative.

[–] woKaaaa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Happy the Lakers found themselves defensively at the very least. Once we start hitting 3s we'll look a lot better

[–] NtLmr95@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
  1. Knicks... Wow

I've been saying this a lot more once I realized that Brunson is Him.

[–] smashacc@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Crazy that the rockets are already a top 5 defense, but it's also crazy that they're an average offense with that roster. Ime working black magic

[–] Albiceleste_D10S@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The crazier thing is we still don't know why he got axed in Boston!

[–] RVAIsTheGreatest@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Pacers are pretenders. On track for a bottom 10 defense in NBA history and very poor rebounding team. Not gonna be able to last playing that way.

[–] commandrr@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

counterpoint: everyone scores a lot and it’s fun to watch

[–] AliasFaux@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Someone called them the "Glass Cannon build" the other night, and I laughed for a while

[–] flamealchemist73@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

All they need to do is just outscore their opponents. If they just put up 160 every game, they'll win most their games.

[–] Mimogger@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

it gets exposed hard in the playoffs though

[–] campbellhw@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They need another good PF so badly. Buddy Hield and Aaron Nesmith are out here guarding 6'9" 250 players. Jarace Walker won't get there this year

[–] AstroFIJI@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Maybe they’ll be in the market for John Collins

[–] FuzzyYellowBallz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

False. If the best defense is a good offense, actually the Pacers have the BEST defense. Checkmate nerds!

[–] MySabonerRunsOladipo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Pretenders to what? They're like the 6th best team in the East and in the middle of a rebuild.

That seems about right.

[–] junahn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Heat’s success on regular season is totally unexpected. Haagen dazs junior is going off i guess

[–] rapelbaum@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

2 years ago #1 seed lol short memory

[–] junahn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I was trying make jokes about haquez jr but i failed i guess

[–] minceraftadmin@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I gotta admit, Miami being good is surprising. But it makes sense when you think about replacing their roleplayers they lost with an improved Duncan Robinson and the return of Herro.

I think Denver still would've won, but I think the series might have been 4-2 or 4-3 if Herro and Dipo were healthy. Although at the same time Herro being out is why Duncan got an opportunity which lead to him getting back into his rhythm.

[–] screaminginprotest1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Honestly dipo as the main defender of Jamal Murray might have been a big enough difference maker for Miami to take the series if we had him and herro both.

[–] Strange1130@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

OKC #1, HOU #2 -- The future is now, old man!

[–] MatFernandes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Give me revenge

[–] MatFernandes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Took me a second to process point n 8 lol

[–] Jicama-Smart@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

kerr does not make adjustments quickly enough. Letting Steph get mauled out there

[–] your_grammars_bad@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kerr is fine. We're out 2 bigs including our enforcer, refs absolutely hate us but aren't our main issue, Klay and Wigs are only now starting to warm up but Splash Bros are old and a step behind (Steph's effort on D is terrible in part because of all the above).

[–] sor2hi@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It would be great to see this animated with movement week by week.

[–] floatersforalgernon@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's interesting to see the Kings in the negative quadrant.

Nuggets right next to Sixers annoys me regardless of the actual graph position.

[–] sorendiz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

thank god that this one was posted right before we play the nuggets again with a very pissed off jokic who is probably going for 40/15/15 tonight, stop the count

[–] Puzzleheaded_Fox4684@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Indiana lol

[–] DwyaneWadeFutureMVP@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Is there something like this for the whole season?

[–] VeniceRapture@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Wow there's actually a worse defense than ours

[–] PanthalassaRo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Man the Knicks schedule has been brutal and the dudes are hanging around, hope the team can string a healthy win streak.

[–] draymond-@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

In the Warriors, all is well.

Delusional fans abuse and downvote anyone suggesting that our players are not good enough.

[–] Nix3Vx@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Have to love Jimmy Butler’s picture day.
