perfect time to visit canada

i dont think the rest of Canada pays attention that much. Same goes with Baseball

Returning from the Raptors' historic victory, Kawhi Leonard opens the fridge and considers its contents carefully before deciding on the leftover lo mein. He settles in on the couch and resumes the episode of "How It's Made" he was watching before he left for the arena. He smiles and chuckles to himself. "So that's how they make shoelaces."
celest zephyr
Congrats to both the Blues and Raptors on winning their 1st title.
night dagger
downtown toronto is just people screaming and honking right now
river cradle
Wouldnt expect less
rustic ore
Did the Raptors finally seal the deal?
If so thank fuck
Finally that GS Dynasty can die
rapid umbra
was the klaw the spur's #1 player when he was with them or was he still developing?
rapid umbra
thx
celest zephyr
Twitter
rapid umbra
yea if you go back and watch the replay im not surprised
rustic ore
Damn, big RIP to him but again. Dynasty is over
celest zephyr
sucks for them
rapid umbra
more people will start watching nba again

RIP to the Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, wouldn't wish Alzheimers or Dementia on anyone š
celest zephyr
Last night was intense holy fuck
But damn I just saw the article
Klay tore his ACL
rustic ore
Sucks that Klay and KD are gonna miss all of the 2019-20 season but shit happens
celest zephyr
I see both of them coming back during the 3rd quarter of the season but this changes a lot
When it comes to free agency
rustic ore
Dude it's June, they both just got injuries that take about a year to heal fully. The only way they'd come back is to play in the Finals
celest zephyr
I don't usually watch Bellator cards but today's card is pretty good
rapid umbra
main event coming up
bitter rover
I dunno how to watch bellator š¤·āāļø i would if i could lol
rustic ore
@bitter rover I know a site to watch free livestreams of it if you want
Only annoying thing is you will need your pop up/adblocker on cause it has a decent amount of annoying ones
bitter rover
Ahh yeah, i dont watch the shows the live tho because of the timezone
Thanks anyway
rustic ore
Let the NYK salt mines flow, the fact the Lakers got what they wanted is hilarious. Now watch them screw up and not make the playoffs again 
rapid umbra
fury fight tonight
celest zephyr
Yeah I will probably watch it
But also regarding the LA trade
I donāt know how I feel about it
Oh and lakers lost a bunch of picks
Lonzo was their best dimer and Ingram wasnāt exactly consistent but he did show up when needed of him
At least they didnāt lose
Kuzma, who was IMO the 2nd best laker after Lebron
Josh Hart isnāt a loss at all IMO
rustic ore
Lakers screwed themselves imo, you gave up the everything and the kitchen sink for a dude who was going to come to you next summer anyways
Guess they just didn't want to waste another year of LeBron's career š¤·
Though to be fair even with AD they ain't doing much this year anyways
celest zephyr
I mean with KD and Klay out next year
The west has been completely blown open
Guess they want to push for one ring before Warriors return š
Supposedly they are targeting Kemba Walker now
rustic ore
I don't see him not taking a supermax with Cha
celest zephyr
He would be a nice addition but it isnāt worth half the organization š
rustic ore
Even though they're bad that would be a lot of money to leave on the table just to be a third wheel to the LBJ and AD
celest zephyr
Maybe but I genuinely think he is sick of money and wants success
He just had his best season IMO and they didnāt make playoffs
I think he could play a far bigger role then AD
That is if Lebron letās him take as many shots as he does now š
rustic ore
Yeah but he just made an All-NBA team so that just made him eligible for a supermax, on that note big RIP to KAT for losing out on 32 million for not making it
They seriously gotta change that format imo, give me the best players regardless of position making All-NBA so that dudes like KAT don't get shafted out of big bucks they rightfully earned
celest zephyr
Klay also loses his supermax
He is signing regardless but Warriors get some extra money to make a few moves
Yeah the format is odd
I literally just found out it about it when that reaction video came out of Klay
rustic ore
Yo I don't even know why Pels fans are salty right now, I'm on a fan site for them telling one dude to politely telling a dude to chill with saying stuff like "Fuck AD" and I apparently triggered some dudes
celest zephyr
Zion actually seems to have something being built around him
A lot of people thought Zion would be a real waste at Pelicans considering they weren't able to do anything interesting with AD
Aside from Cousins..
rustic ore
They also got LaVar 
celest zephyr
Lavar just confirmed that lakers will never win a ring 
celest zephyr
Fury fucked him, was faster then expected
rustic ore
I demand Tyson Fury gets a rematch against Wilder
celest zephyr
I do as well, looks like the highlight of this fight
was the post fight singing from Fury
rustic ore
So apparently OJ Simpson has started a twitter account, first tweet went about as well as you imagined
night dagger
lmao
@therealOJ32 is the only official one
thats just funny
somebody already hacked it and wrote "I killed her"
celest zephyr
lol
night dagger
Kawhi drives a 97 Chevy Tahoe lol
rapid umbra
good man
celest zephyr
That guy..
celest zephyr
rustic ore
Still think he's leaving to join the Clippers but I have to admit, it would be nice to see him stay in the East
celest zephyr
š All I can do is hope and pray
rapid umbra
i forgot lobov vs paulie is this saturday
celest zephyr
What a fucking joke of an event
And the biggest joke is going to be people like me
Who are going to watch it regardless of how ridiculous it is šš
celest zephyr
loooool
regardless the draft, looking forward to see how later of the 1st round goes
rustic ore
Really curious who the Pels take at 4, if they stay there that is
celest zephyr
i think theyll take garland
unless rj slips down and then itll be crazy
rj and zion back together
rustic ore
Kinda wish Dolan was dumb enough to not take him but they kinda have to
rustic ore
Wow, don't quite think that was a great move but hey, it's their team
celest zephyr
no it was def not a good move whatsoever
night dagger
tampa lightnings suck
celest zephyr
dry surge
Nah
dusky sluice
I donāt know anything about sports
celest zephyr
What did you think about big bol's late pick?
dry surge
Bol bolās medicals were pretty bad
Also foot problems at such a light weight is a red flag
celest zephyr
Has his foot healed?
dry surge
His mechanics for someone so tall and lanky are an issue as wel
celest zephyr
I remember he got injured back in December.
dry surge
It has, but these kinds of things are recurring
Similar to Porterās back
Justin Wright Foreman is a baller
Also Shamorie Ponds
Hope someone nabs him soon
celest zephyr
I completely forgot about Ponds, he kinda vanished after those upsets
dry surge
Great handle and shot off the dribble
Only concern is his size and build
Watching Bol Bol drop was tough, and he definitely looked so done when he did get picked, but I get the concerns
celest zephyr
I genuinely hope he proves the doubters wrong.
dry surge
Yeah itād be nice but the injury concerns are scary
Humans arenāt built to be that large and lanky and play a sport like basketball
His help defense and awareness is also a negative
Gonna need to have him in a zone
celest zephyr
I am literally only paying attention at the 59th pick at this point
You think anyone is going to be pick up Tacko Fall, we got a few picks remaining
dry surge
Suns laid an egg this draft
Jesus their trades and picks were terrible
Hawks and Grizz are going to be fun to watch
And yeah Tacko Fall might not get picked. Heād be a nice signing undrafted
dry surge
Offer him a camp invite
dry surge
is your team the Lakers
honest umbra
its what happens when u got the GOAT and the BROW on the same team
honest umbra
thats the right way to fall
we can also have 27 mill in cap space
i loved the first 10
especially top 3
especially when rj got all them cheers
dry surge
Making so many mistakes but still ending up winning because itās a storied franchise
honest umbra
ye
celest zephyr
But imagine if you had 32 mil in cap space 
dry surge
Love RJ, cool dude
honest umbra
celtics did everythin smart for the last 7 years
they in shambles
we stupid
and we title contenders
dry surge
I have some concerns, but heās the best pick there at 3
honest umbra
yee only if we had a real gm who knew how to work cap space
and made pelicans wait till the 30th
dry surge
Nah Celtics crashed their proverbial car this summer
From losing Kyrie and Horford to this draft
Yikes
honest umbra
yea
dry surge
Yeah but I think they can clear space either way, nothing too difficult
honest umbra
their starting lineup gonna be rozier brown tatum someone someone
dry surge
Lakers are gonna be good
honest umbra
they aint beating no one
dry surge
Just gonna be about picking the right role players
honest umbra
i wanna spend all 27 mill on 3 and d guys
dry surge
Need good spacing on the court
honest umbra
pick up pat, ariza, those kinda players
celest zephyr
Thatās literally all you guys need
dry surge
Yeah those are good role players to surround them
celest zephyr
I would have been triggered for you
honest umbra
hes also my dad
celest zephyr
If you guys traded Kuzma
dry surge
Iām a big pat bev fan despite him injuring Westbrook
dry surge
Yeah Ingram was getting going
honest umbra
especially late season averaging 20 on 54 percent
he was a player
but i can see why we needed to trade him
pelicans prob prioritized him over kuz
who is a one dimensional scorer
its aite
dry surge
Pelicans did work to obtain assets but Lakers are set up well
honest umbra
all i gotta say is thx u lottery
for giving them a star at number 1
and for giving us number 4 pick
when we shoulda been 11
but if they wasnt petty (aka dell demps)
they been coulda had kuz in feb
dry surge
Lol yeah both sides screwed up earlier on
Man watching Zionās interview had me balling
honest umbra
zion humble n good
dry surge
Love him so much
celest zephyr
Had me in tears
dry surge
Hope he stays healthy
celest zephyr
Itās a shame the pelicans wonāt do anything with him
celest zephyr
Just like how they wasted AD š¬
dry surge
Nah they have a chance
honest umbra
zion a generational talent
honest umbra
they surrounded him with better pieces and assets
than they ever did AD
in 8 years
lmao
lonzo ball is a hella good POINT guard, idc what u say about his shooting
holiday an all star
ingram without hella pressure will control the ball well
and hart is a top tier bench player who d's up well
celest zephyr
What did they get from the hawks trade?
dry surge
Also their other pick is gonna be a great defensive wall
celest zephyr
Just more picks right
honest umbra
not to mention if they get randle back who is walking 20-10
dry surge
Yeah Randle is a baller
dry surge
Idk if heāll stay in NO though
honest umbra
he prob wont
dry surge
He is unrestricted?
honest umbra
especially with who they drafted
at 1 and 7
their second pick
was a big mans too
dry surge
Heāll prob get a pretty fat check this summer
dry surge
Oh thatās why his name was familiar
honest umbra
bruh he had him come up
inhis interview
u even watchin son?
but shai lowkey nice
if his cousin anything similar
pelicans got a good 1
dry surge
Wizards are also confused as hell
They lost their GM and are just rolling without a GM
dry surge
They didnāt schedule ANY workouts with draft prospects until the last week
honest umbra
one thing is lakers picks are ALWAYS nice
they arent always stars but they ballers who hang around in the NBA
dry surge
And the person they ended up picking wasnāt even the one they worked out
I REALLY wanted Knicks to move up to get Rui Hachimura
honest umbra
kuz, zubac, clarkson, mo wagner, svi are just a few examples
in the last 2 years
oh that weeb?
u wanted that mans?
dry surge
Heās great
honest umbra
he aight apparently
dry surge
Amazing tools
Needs to get his jump shot mechanics locked down but he is great
Hard worker
Humble
celest zephyr
Doing history for Japan
honest umbra
and i actually mean nice this time
like this dude attitude nice
japanese too respectful
dry surge
He got picked way too early by the Wizards
Theyāre really lost out there
Beal needs to get out quick
But my favorite young team has got to be the Grizz
celest zephyr
Loool they are offering Beal a fat extension
celest zephyr
Itās a wrap
dry surge
thatās a strong as hell young core
celest zephyr
dry surge
Coby White reacting to Cam Johnson getting picked 11th by the Suns is hilarious
He was a late 20s to 2nd round projection
honest umbra
actually
next seasons the rl season
warriors out of the count
bruh he smoked a big one, jeff
celest zephyr
Lakers are winning it next season TBH
honest umbra
ye its over
might as well pack it up
we got the GOAT
the brow
thats all u need
i just need kobe to pop in once here and there, drive in the kobe mentality
celest zephyr
Next season is the only opportunity to get Lebron his 4th
honest umbra
and championship guaranteed
celest zephyr
And final ring
celest zephyr
dry surge
Iām just glad Knicks are approaching the offseason intelligently and ignoring the manchildren media and memers
celest zephyr
The media is really pushing for a knicks agenda
honest umbra
ye too bad dere trash
celest zephyr
Smh you got half the FA linked to the Knicks somehow š
dry surge
Nah theyāre not
Theyāre pushing an anti-Knicks agenda
FAs are always linked to the Knicks because theyāre a big market team
Helps improve their stock and price on the market
celest zephyr
bro
dry surge
Itās all noise from the agents
celest zephyr
u tryna tell me bol bol has bad mechanics
dry surge
Yes
celest zephyr
wrong
dry surge
Incredibly bad mechanics
honest umbra
nuggets taken chance on micharl porter jr who is gonna be hella amazin
and now bol bol
celest zephyr
@honest umbra big agree
he has a crazy 3
athletic and good on his feet for a big guy
honest umbra
literally he can work on mechanics
hes on the floor hella despite being tall
only thing im worried about is injuries
as with all tall ppl
but he literally athletic af
honest umbra
he aint dragging his ass
down the court
he sprintin
shootin the 3's
woopin here and there
dry surge
michael porter jr.'s back injury is a terrible one, around the L3-L4 lumbar section?
dry surge
he needed a microdisectomy
dry surge
those back injuries are always recoccuring
honest umbra
they made 2nd seed without mpj
dry surge
and the spasms you get from them are debilitating
honest umbra
literally no major risk
14 picks are either stable or busts
he was projected 1 for a reason
HE IS A BALLA
celest zephyr
Jeff hitting us with the medical facts
celest zephyr
yeah i mean a back injury is very serious
honest umbra
and demolished in the nba
i could careless what u shoot
for one year
under a diff system
spoiled by other players
dry surge
well zach lavine has better physical tools than MPJ
honest umbra
cam reddish went 10 becuz ppl hella underrated him
celest zephyr
i dont think cam has the right mentality to be a killer in the nba tbh
dry surge
MPJ is a 1-2 shooter, hands at forehead, low release, off balance on the sway
celest zephyr
i might get proven wrong tho š¤·
dry surge
cam is probably the worst finisher in this draft
celest zephyr
Yeah deadass Cam is going a big surprise
dry surge
he's an amazing catch and shoot player, and knows how to fill the lane
but anything at the rim is a no go
had the worst FG% within 3-5 of the hoop
celest zephyr
cam is not consistent
dry surge
you can blame it on spacing, but the eye test will tell you enough
celest zephyr
He lived in the shadow of Zion and RJ
i dont know if his game changed in college but i remember watching in hs and he had great games and then horrible games
honest umbra
and even then i only remember zion, not rj
mike is an overrated coach
i know zion's 100/10 becuz of those games
dry surge
even with the shadow, if you're a good finisher you're a good finisher
honest umbra
he literally did not run the team well
dry surge
he just freezes up and locks up at the rim
on simple dribble drives
stiff handle, no left
honest umbra
he literally hit some of the biggest shots
of the season
and hes literally a shooter aint he
why he is he driving so much
dry surge
simple drives
honest umbra
plus u can learn driving mechanics much easier than fixing ur shot
celest zephyr
cam just doesnt have the right mental bro
honest umbra
bro
dry surge
i think that has something to do with it
celest zephyr
We canāt say anything
no
About his mentality
off hs too
i watched him since junior
honest umbra
in hs, he literally had the best mentality
dry surge
he never seems to want to take the easy two off of dribble drive
honest umbra
wasnt he a touted top 5 pick
dry surge
i mean if all of your exposure to draft prospects is BallIsLife, sure
honest umbra
he was an absolute killer
celest zephyr
yeah but thats because hes good at the sport
against high school players that all you need
he still played rlly inconsistently
on and off games
honest umbra
as like all hs players
i literally saw lonzo games
at my hs
dude would either go off or blank
celest zephyr
yeah and zo is a semi-bust bro
celest zephyr
š š š¤
honest umbra
dude literally has one of the highest IQs for a PG in the game
u talk about mentality, he has that shit
dry surge
ngl this is od cringe lmao
honest umbra
i just think yall are making hella early judgements
on most of these players
acting like the right staff + new city + new techniques
aint ever changed a player
celest zephyr
man someone better pick up my man tacko later on
dry surge
well it's nice to be optimistic about the future prospects and want the best for them, but what's physically and factually available like their statistical performance and their physical tools can tell you A LOT about a player
i did a summer internship in HS for a basketball analytics company that had cole zwicker on board
honest umbra
i don't mind too much about the statistical performances
dry surge
he taught me a lot
honest umbra
that mans who the spurs picked at 19th
was apparently ranked 2 by analytics
which is aight whatever
but the actual recruiters had him going at what, 37?
stats can be skewed easily
i'd much rather focus in on a player who played in high leverage situations here in the US against similar talent kin players
than someone who could have easily balled out backstreet of romania
some game translates, some do not
honest umbra
by whatever analtyics
dry surge
19 is a bit high for him, but it's a great fit
and when you're a team like the spurs you draft for fit over best available
honest umbra
one of their mathes dudes at espn
dry surge
especially at the mid range level
ESPN has probably some of the worst analysts out there
honest umbra
ye but im sure they know math
dry surge
they employ stephen a smith
dry surge
you could hardly call them analysts
honest umbra
no bilas ranked him 37
so when the analysis came up
it made bilas look dumb af
which is also accurate (hes pretty dumb)
dry surge
bilas is an idiot yes
honest umbra
but u cant convince me that mans is the 2nd best player in the draft based on some math analytics
dry surge
where was he number 2?
honest umbra
bruh im in data analysis and dont fully believe in this shit
dry surge
i'm pretty doubtful any credible analytics department had him 2nd at that spot
most analytics departments also don't rank based on availability
they just have a big board before the draft
honest umbra
if none of the kids had names
just put em numbers on their board
and put numbers into one of them analytics machines
u think draft would look the same?
i doubt zion would even go first in that case
dry surge
samanic is a versatile big, fluid for his size. nice pedigree playing for FIBA and winning gold in the U18 championship
i'm pretty sure he got MVP in that series as well
high IQ and slasher and has a good stroke on the perimeter
honest umbra
i also think doing well overseas is a bit overrated as well
dry surge
he's a good stash player
the overseas competition, mainly in the adriatic quarters, is leagues better than college level and g league level
honest umbra
i agree
dry surge
it's a pretty nifty indication of maturity at higher levels
honest umbra
but it's also unrealistic to expect the same level of success here
most succcesses are exceptions
dry surge
positionless basketball is in now, and no one has been doing positionless basketball better than FIBA
honest umbra
and not enough of them
literally 5 players to go to us instead of college FROM here, includes brandon jennings in italy and like 2 this year? including lamelo ball
dry surge
the average level of play is higher overseas, so the ones that standout overseas are high impact and noticed highly here in the states
honest umbra
some leagues are stronger/weaker than others
honest umbra
lamelo is a good player
dry surge
FIBA is the main breeding pool for international talent
dry surge
i'm aware
honest umbra
though hes gonna get swatted 100 times
before he learns
he needs to do shit differently now
especially when hes calmly driving
his decision making on the ball has improved drastically
and his nonexistent defense or highlight defense has become more on play
he'll struggle for a bit but he'll be good there and here
idk where he'll get drafted
dry surge
i haven't started digging into next year's prospects yet
i started this year's research about 5 months ago
watched a lot of tape of fringe prospects
honest umbra
ye but i aint saying reddish and bol bol will be amazing
im sure theres merit as to why they dropped
these team analysts def know more than me
thats literally their job
dry surge
like i said
it's fine to be optimistic and hope for the best for all of the players selected, it's just that there are clear indications of why they dropped, like you said.
honest umbra
but I personally have a knack of believing players like that tend to pop out
and that sometimes the shit on the scouting reports/stats sheets
isnt always whats the same on the court
like why was markelle fultz drafted 1st when he was so shit
dry surge
the thing is, the stuff on the scouting reports and stat sheets are direct results of their actions on the court
honest umbra
nobody's gonna draft on intuition. jerry west had a plan picking kobe and vice versa
dry surge
because philly is dumb
honest umbra
their actions are justified
honest umbra
but bol bol to 44th is insulting
when he did more with less and proved most haters wrong
dry surge
it sucks for him, and i had him late 20s
honest umbra
is he injured now btw?
dry surge
no he's recovered as far as i'm aware
dry surge
but the talk amongst executives are that they were high on bol bol until he came in for workouts
honest umbra
who else they got
dry surge
his workouts and medicals scared the teams off
honest umbra
im not surprised about medicals
tall players of his size dont work
out
but hes also different on many levels than many in the past, hes actually athletic
dry surge
i wouldn't call him athletic
honest umbra
his mechanics are wack but not something irreparable
he has a bounce
he aint afraid of being on the floor
what was the injury that kept him out of oregon
dry surge
i said this before but
honest umbra
can u put some weight on chief
dry surge
208 pounds with a foot stress fracture is a major red flag
honest umbra
wtf
208 pounds
i know everyday boys running around
more than that
why aint zion teaching him
dry surge
everything about him is too "upper"
COG too high
any weight he puts on will probably be on top
dry surge
dribble is too high
honest umbra
why is the reason boban struggles
dry surge
can't get low to guard, so switching PnR on him is terrible
boban doesn't struggle as much as he's limited in his playing time and touches
he's extremely heavy footed
not a great help defender
good IQ, adept passer, and soft touch
honest umbra
boban has the weight but heavy footed
dry surge
but his tools are limited outside of his size
honest umbra
bol bol got the bounce but can easily get wiped out
dry surge
don't confuse wingspan for bounce
he's probably the worst help defender in the draft
defensive schemes are difficult for him
dry surge
couldn't do man to man because of the limitations to his body and oregon's zone usually got messed up because he never recognized passes to break zone and didn't pressure the release
yeah
but there's also more to medicals than just "this person has this injury"
various physical measurements as well as body kinematics are recorded and detailed by the on-hand physicians
bol bol is fluid for his size, but his jumping mechanics don't generate enough lift. he has long strides but he is also flat footed
dry surge
the length of his legs make him bow legged inwards and puts bad stress on his joints
specifically the ankle and knees
bol bo lcan't get low on screens, poor hip connection means he's a liability on switches and anyway with a lower center of gravity than him
rarely helps on defense
or rather, he's too slow to react
shot is silky smooth, and tends to settle (which is understandable because it's a great advantage)
but at higher level of play it'll become an issue
celest zephyr
Well, now all we can do is wait for the summer league/season to begin.
OP chapter š
celest zephyr

Imagine if Lebron plays long enough to play with/against his son š
honest umbra
which would be IRONIC considering lebron was one of the last
and his son would be one of the first
rustic ore
Think it's turning back to straight into pros
rustic ore
Damn, kid is only 14 and is already 6'2
celest zephyr

rustic ore
And that kid is a freshman in HS you said?
celest zephyr
yeah that photo was taken when he was in 8th tho
celest zephyr
knowing harold has made me desensitized to big people
everyone looks small next to him
celest zephyr
yeah we have a lot of cameras
rustic ore
Yeah rough for Bol Bol to go to a shit team like Miami, but hey at least there isn't a state income tax in FL so he gets to keep most of his money š¤·
rustic ore
Oh wow
Nice
Yeah he hit the jack pot then, Denver is one of the best teams in the league
They could take the west next season
celest zephyr
tacko fall š celtics
rustic ore
Jesus, they tackled the shit out of this dude
@celest zephyr @honest umbra @celest zephyr
rustic ore
Damn, ain't that the truth?
dry surge
i don't like his fit next to bron
rustic ore
He ain't going back to the Lakers
honest umbra
i mean shit, he might
but the reason he became an all star
was becuz he left LA
why would u go back
rustic ore
Right?
honest umbra
into all that glimmer
dry surge
he had a high usage rate last season
honest umbra
the thing is he went to an even bigger city last season
dry surge
not my ideal choice as a RFA
rustic ore
If anything if the dude is deadset on going back to LA he'll go to the Clippers
honest umbra
lmao whats up with the clippers
getting everyone
usually every other year "lakers getting this dude and this dude"
this year "hes def going to clips"
dry surge
just some food for thought:
honest umbra
they got 2 max spots well aware
dry surge
most of the reports about X player is going to Y destination is false
honest umbra
but still, they aint getting every1 š
dry surge
they're generated by agents trying to get leverage
rustic ore
I guess Steve Ballmer is a better owner than initially expected? š¤·
dry surge
clippers aren't actually in most conversations
honest umbra
and how many teams he has turned into contenders
rustic ore
That's fair
rustic ore
Plus Doc Rivers is a decent coach and they have a solid roster right now
honest umbra
i think rivers is overrated actually
1 championship to his name in a very good year, albeit
dry surge
doc rivers gets a lot of hype as a good coach because he happened to be the coach of teams with great players
honest umbra
but he didnt take a lot of other good teams past 2nd round either
rustic ore
He's got a ring though, how many HCs can say that right now? 4? 5?
dry surge
his plays are outdated, schemes outdated
honest umbra
how u gonna give up a 3-1 lead to a lackluster houston
i mean if uve lasted in the league as long as he has
im sure u can say that
kerr got a few, pop, spoelstra
dry surge
doc still runs floppy sets
honest umbra
i dont think doc rivers is a great coach tactically
dry surge
rustic ore
Who are the last 10 champs, Warriors got 3, Heat 2, Spurs 1, Raps 1 now, and then the Lakers when Kobe was still there
dry surge
he's pretty bad, fate
rustic ore
And the Cavs
honest umbra
lue gone
rustic ore
Yup
honest umbra
o
they made the finals twice
lost the first time becuz "ray allen"
kawhi won finals mvp second time
rustic ore
So Carlisle
dry surge
very definitively
rustic ore
Yo Mavs are gonna be something if KP is healthy
dry surge
i really dislike coaches who are "character coaches" and don't actually run proper plays and just go isolation
honest umbra
mark jackson was a character coach
honest umbra
i hate when ppl say its his team
like lowkey all credits dude, u was there
u put the foundation and the base
but the disrespect on kerrs name is insane
dry surge
yeah
honest umbra
u think making it work with how many stars he got is easy?
i've seen him run some absolutely amazing plays
dry surge
kerr understands the modern game, and his sets are EXTREMELY modern
honest umbra
that raps turnover when warriors "shoulda fouled"
was so epic
legit kudos to kerr all the way
dry surge
he was the one who practically introduced the NBA to elevator plays
dry surge
they were non-existent before kerr brought them
honest umbra
nobody talks about kerr not fouling
thats how underrated he is
what are elevator plays in simpler terms?
dry surge
hard to describe, but it's basically when the shooter you want runs through a double screen that's set up side-by-side and they close together as soon as the shooter passes through the double screen "like an elevator door"
you'll know it when you see it
honest umbra
lol i actually know
