We can be both.

"No!" interrupted Owl, who was wise
"I have good eye-sight, insight, and foresight
How could an intelligent hare make such a silly mistake?"

Ah...I don't get the reference.

That's "Game of Thrones". The White Walkers.

 

[THE HCP]

Interesting. I wonder if they’ll play better without him.

No

 

[julius]

That's "Game of Thrones". The White Walkers.

I understood that part, I just haven't watched the show to understand much else of what you said.

 

[THE HCP]

The White Walkers.

That is the new nickname for when Meyers, Zac, Stauskas, Layman and Nurk are on the floor together.

 

[dviss1]

Billups on why he didn't take the Cavs job:

 

[Sarni]

Toronto are amazing. Not a single player over 20 points last night but 4 got 17 and one got 16, ultimate team basketball. Kawhi didn’t even play and they beat Lakers and Jazz with ease. One loss in 11 games and it was without Kawhi and against Bucks team that has been as impressive as they have been.

 

[Sarni]

Davis will leave New Orleans this season or next Summer at latest. It’s not working. They started off well but it turns out that unless he plays at 101% they are hopeless. He’s not going to stick around accepting that for much longer.

It would be interesting to actually see that lineup.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Yeah, who needs guards?

 

[Sarni]

LINK?

Just my guess work based on his contract situation and Pelicans shape.

 

[kjironman1]

Yeah, who needs guards?

Stauskas is a guard and Layman has handles.

[illmatic99]

Dame is at .433

sigh

 

[BonesJones]

Dame is at .433

Dame also shoots many more 3s.

This isn't unexpected. It was very predictable. I'm just waiting for Jaylen Brown to make a similar fuss and force his way out. He's my dream SF for our team.

Eh. Not really much of a needle mover.

Rozier? Agree.
Brown? I'd trade half our roster for him.

What's the deal with Gordon Hayward? His numbers are shitty.

 

[illmatic99]

What's the deal with Gordon Hayward? His numbers are shitty.

He hasn't played ball in a year and still looks like he's moving half speed. I'm guessing he'll come back but that contract is looking horrible at the moment.

That, and they've got too many players who can play and want minutes. They play too slow to actually make this depth work in their favor. Too few possessions, not enough numbers, not enough minutes, etc etc. And Tatum was anointed too early. They also have 4 first rounders coming in next summer. There really is a thing as too much.

I haven't heard this announced in the media until now (Simmons Tweet). Simmons must want him out and wants to help the cause, even though it may lower his return value.

 

[Lukee]

Celtics are weird. It seems like they were playing best basketball without Irving and Hayward. Something is off there, it's still early, but Hayward doesnt look the same and should be benched, but they won't do it.

I hope they crash and burn, but I like Stevens.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

YES!!!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Dame also shoots many more 3s.

The real killer to me is efg, steph on his carreer is at like 58%, dame is at basically 51, and westbrook is at 46% - Westbrook has never gone over 50%, where as Dames has gotten better every year except one.

 

[illmatic99]

Burn it down in DC. Austin Rivers is the voice of reason. lol

I prefer to use TS%, as it also includes FT shooting. Dame is currently at .621 and Russ is at .529. For their careers, Russ' best season only beats Dame's rookie year (barely).
