No one in this league is going to the playoffs without a star guard who can score and pass. Even Denver is way less effective without Murray and has a center with guard skills. Wemby needs trial and error until he figures his game out. I think the main issue is Chet. People have been comparing these two since u19 basketball. Chet's offensive maturity isn't mirroring well juxtaposed to Wemby's. But Chet's 2 years older and playing with a star guard that attracts an enormous amount of attention. Chet's shot has been figured out years ago and is respected so he can pull off more moves off the dribble with better spacing

Tatum had 2 agile 6'10 defenders on him. Isaac and Franz made his life very difficult.
To that redditor who yesterday said the GSW announcer sounded like Tucker Carlson, thanks a lot. I simply can't unhear it now.
Every time another draft expert tells you that you don't draft for fit, you just take the best available player and figure it out, show them a picture of the Pistons starting 5. I get it when it's a generational talent but other than that, if there's little to no gap take the best fit.
The refs are doing nothing wrong. It's clearly stated in the rule book:
An official may assess a technical foul, without prior warning, at any time. A technical foul(s) may be assessed to any player on the court or anyone seated on the bench for conduct which, in the opinion of an official, is detrimental to the game.
So they have opinions and are exercising their opinions at any given moment. A ref can just go: "Technical foul! Annoying face detrimental to the game!"
I've never heard of this conversation formula. 240 Just seems off like how is Paulo Banchero the same height and weighs 250 with his huge head and big arms and legs and skinny KD is 240? How is Giannis 6'11, 242? It's not crucial just funny
6'11 in shoes maybe. But there's no way he is 240 pounds
No but... I don't think he is a lead point guard. He is a wing creator. The ball should be in his hands at specific times. They need a lead ball handler who has a tight handle and can create space with ease. Cade should get the ball on the move and not play the 'Luka' slow paced methodical game. Luka is stronger than 95% of the league.including bigs. Luka is a way scarier shooter on the move. Cade can't handle the double teams that know his playbook. He loses the ball and always seems gassed by the end of the game. He should play a bit more like Tatum.
Who said I'm not appreciative? Actually stated just that. You're the one nitpicking as if your life depends on it. KG - you're right. The rest were older at that point.
He was a top 5 prospect until he got injured. In highschool he also showed a nice shooting touch. He has a lot of basketball in him. He's way more than a flying agile big (aka Jaxon Hayes).
While amazing he's younger than that list. Players used to play college. A player like Kareem coming out of highschool would set a different bar. He played 4 years. Parish was probably around 41in his last season. Kareem at 38 in 1986 was 23.3 ppg, 6.1 reb and 3.5 assists.
MJ at 38 was 22.9 ppg, 5.7 and 5.1.
This is not to discredit LeBron. What he's doing is unprecedented. Just to put into context the other players you compared them to in their 40s

So Monty Williams who needed Chris Paul to save his career and his top assistant Stephen Silas, a basketball terrorist in Houston are making bad decisions and just telling players to play hard? Well I'll be damned who would've thought?
