lol. Hood had a great game. I was really happy to be wrong in this game. I think he is providing good defense when he's in there, and he really seemed to take advantage of opportunities tonight against a smaller player.

This game has brought his playoff PER to 5.9 for this year. So....hopefully this is something he can build on.

A good game? Do you mean good gameS? It's all good though. Yes, his D was impactful. 3 blocks! He's averaging 16ppg in the series.

Yes, you need to correct everyone on everything. Im sure hes happy that its still all good with you despite his "mistake".
 
I see this series is going to raise a lot of poster's PIR (Poster Insuperability Rating)... some really really strong showings today.

Do you have any tips on how I can raise my PIR? As an un-ignore-able mod, it might be fun to be more insufferable...

You've come to the right person because I'm completely insufferable.

It comes down to the fundamentals: Offensiveness and Defensiveness.

Offensiveness includes the showy things: pedantry, sarcasm, aggressiveness... and more advanced techniques like disingenuous magnanimity.
Defensiveness includes a lot more subtle things only students of the game know: hounding, passive dismissal, irony.

You have to know the rulebook, and use the ref's blindspots to your advantage; you can't get away with casual racism, sexism, and homophobia without a deep knowledge of the rules and how they're enforced. You can't go hard with explicit hate, but casual dog-whistling and bad-faith curiosity typically don't get called.

It's a complete game, and we are an all-star group!

Seen him play in Utah and Cleveland. He's what he is. A low efficiency ISO/pick & roll scorer with weak defense, low ball IQ and a very very mediocre graps of the concept of a team game. Also, overrates himsself a lot.

Granted, he's had a few good games in the years he's been in the league. Every now and then.

The only thing I like is that he's an expiring contract and at ~3.5M he doesn't cost much. Very low risk move. Role playing guys I'd very much prefer to get on the team all make way more. Bazemore, Courtney Lee (if he can find his 2015 self), or even a SJ or Prince (which would have cost us more than 2 2nds/Wade/Nik).

Also, I'm assuming a CJ for Love swap isn't a option. That probably would've meant the Hood deal would've been included in a bigger trade. I think getting Love would give us a way better chance to make a postseason run than our current position provides. Maybe the injury scares our front office away, which is something I could understand.

Something I'd like to add:

Rodney Hood is 6-8. He's playing like an undersized SG. To put things in perspective, here's how he ranks among guards (out of 122 qualifying players (minimum 20 mpg)):

PER 13.2 (64th)
TS% 0.542 (61st)
3PAr 0.335 (83rd)
TRB% 5.1 (102nd)
AST% 11.6 (92nd)
USG% 19.2 (63rd)
OWS 1.6 (42nd)
DWS -0.1 (121st)
WS 1.5 (74th)
WS/48 0.057 (81st)
OBPM 0.1 (62nd)
DBPM -2.8 (113th)
BPM -2.7 (98th)
VORP -0.2 (106th)

What I'm saying is... don't build your hopes on this guy. At the price he's a decent add, low risk, but to expect anything more than a few games of high score output is too much to ask. He's no 1:1 CJ replacement, he's no reliable second or even third option, he's not a reliable shooter. His effective shooting percentages and true shooting percentages have always been below league average. His defense has been among the worst in the league. His rebounding and playmaking is non existent.

Anybody got some spare crow?
 
Can we extend a qualifying offer and then match any offer for Hood or not?

please help me NBA cap salaries experts!!!!
 
The priority MUST be Kanter, but if we could resign both that would be huge!!!

Imagine how much it would hurt if lose 'em both while paying 30 milions combined between Turner and Leonard.
