My job: Positivity

[KingSpeed]

Ok guys. It’s horrible that Nurk went down but our season isn’t lost. We’re probably the only team in the league with THREE back up 7 footers. They’re all elite for different skills. Kanter with his inside scoring and rebounding. Zach with his intense defense. And Meyers with his shooting and passing. If any team in the league can survive and injury to their starting center, it’s us. I hate what has happened to Nurk. Not just his career but his life. But the season isn’t over. 3 seed (maybe 2 seed) is in reach and championship is still on the table. Go Blazers and Nurk, get well soon!!

Okay, I need to come over for a playoff game and I need you to do an ASMR on me about the positivity of this playoffs.

Because I ain't seein' it.

What is ASMR?

We have a shot still at getting past the first round. After that, we're done without Nurk though. I don't care how many backup 7-footers we have. We only have one Nurk.

I like where your head is at, but unfortunately the reality of the situation is somewhat different.

What is great about Nurk is that you don't have to choose between defense, rebounding, and offense. With the rest of our bigs, you have to pick your poison.
Kanter:
good: offense, rebounding
bad: none
absolutely deplorable: defense

Biebs:
good: swish3s, rebounding
bad: defense
absolutely deplorable: decision-making

Zach:
good: defense
bad: offense, rebounding
absolutely deplorable: none


Kanter is unique in the history of the NBA. He likely has the worst +/- of any player in history that has his rebounding and offensive efficiency.

We didn't win a game in the Playoffs with Nurk....it's going to be tough to win a series without him.

 

[kjironman1]

Meyers and his passing skills?

Dude does make some pretty good passes.

 

[Strenuus]

What is ASMR?

Look it up on youtube. There's a ton of variations on it. But it's pretty much just repetitive sounds that soothe the person.

I think Zach’s a good rebounder.

Do we have a choice but to start loving Meyers Leonard again?

Did you ever consider producing a motivational vid channel?

 

[stampedehero]

Nurk can move, set screens, catch, pass, create assists and score up to a three point line but seldom over it.. Kanter can live only in the post and lacks defensive thoughts. He is affected by kryptonite beyond the foul line.
ML's game should have been morphed into a carbon copy of Nurk's play assignments. He can hit threes but others can produce. We need a good hoop wolf like Nurk.
Our center position would be a great chance for ML to prove he is worth every penny of his 10 mil.

I really with that you are right.

Kanter hit two threes last night.

What is ASMR?

Now you've really confused Stren

 

[riverman]

The X factor going into the playoffs is how well Zach can stay out of foul trouble and stay on the court...without him we're thin at rim protection of any kind unless Meyers becomes the incredible hulk overnight..Kanter gives us Ed Davis type second chance pts and cleans up missed shots..can score over legit bigs in the paint and has a shooting touch. Kanter is only 26....he can learn to be a serviceable defender with a good floor general on the court with him. Dame ET and Rodney are probably going to have that role...Chief as well

It also snowed in Palm Springs yesterday.

You are correct. We need the rim protection Zach gave us in the win over the Warriors last month.

He needs to control silly fouls

I've posted this before but Caron Butler got hurt in 2010-11 season. Mavs went on 6 game losing streak. They were dead in the water. Their only All Star was Dirk. They picked themselves up, dusted themselves off, and followed Dirk's lead to a sweep of the Champs and a Finals win over the Heatles.

 

[hoopsjock]

Fuck it, I'm with @KingSpeed. We're gonna be a tough out still.

So many positive vibes?
Maybe we can't go wrong?
Woof Woof Woof!

Hey KingSpeed. This is a great thread. A breath of fresh air. I always love your positivity.

 

[Chris Craig]

Last time I went over to @KingSpeed (Erics) place for a game, he was suprisingly negative. I couldn't believe it. I was like Eric what hell dude, you were supposed to be the positive one.

Anyway, It's good to see your positivity @KingSpeed we need all we can get right now.
