@_driplaflare @Clippuhjon @KenHeLive Was a good shooter, rebounder, outlet passer. Not a switch defender, not a rim protector, not an offensive engine, not a dominant post player on crossmatches, not good in the GSW matchup, was getting paid more than Kawhi and Paul George. Not a super star or MVP tier talent.

@BronGotGame @PolymarketHoops @PolymarketSport @ringer Remember when that Nuggets podcast lady said Jokic IQ and leadership was gonna unlock Westbrook in a way Bron couldn’t

@OncheonR @ScionofCulture I see people say this a lot but given the violence rates in low SES areas if there was actually organized systematic targeting then every outgroup small business owner would be dead.

@big_business_ Hard to figure out a perfect system but play-in caliber teams like the Heat trying to win should not be in a situation where getting intentionally worse gives them much better odds at rising to contention tier. Free agency got wrecked with 2nd apron lux tax rule stuff.

@clairlemon @romanhelmetguy Is the conceit that these are all individuals in a marketplace acting like individuals and not ethnic cliques taking over offices and industries, or are we saying the ethnic clique thing is fine also ?

@Shane00 Early on before Wade’s knee issues the two-way impact of Wade + Bron swarming and taking over 5 minute stretches was elite. Later on it seemed like Battier 3 & D was legit more valuable in some of those playoff matchups.

@IAmJuniorLegend @TheLifeOfp24_ Yea on a contending team his role was stretch 4 defensive liability being paid more than Paul George and Kawhi . If Love was an elite impact prime David Robinson type guy like Bron Derangement FC wants to pretend then those GSW series might have been more interesting.

[Hiro Protagonist @HiroProRev]

@nbarealist23 Also skill. Bird is practicing and taking more 3s in the modern game and Kareem is developing his stretch big bag.

@BanisMajor What I do like is that they are talking about ball and how a team defensive schematic effort impacted the series, a lot of casual folk history of that series is Skip Bayless class narrative with no Xs and Os.

@Bitconnnneeeect @Buckeye937B Love wasn't a scrub but people really want to pretend that a defensive liability stretch 4 was a bigger deal than he was. CLE could get out of the East without him & he wasn't the right tactical use of his cap space for the GSW matchup which was the only matchup of consequence.

@LogicLeprechaun @NBA__Courtside Talent choosing their preferred work environment is good, especially when they already don't get that opportunity for the first five to ten years as a subsidy for less desirable work places.

[Hiro Protagonist @HiroProRev]

@LogicLeprechaun @NBA__Courtside Hot take a roster being built from tanking and having good players being compensated below their real market value is not more virtuous than a roster being built because players like the city or because the owner wanted to pay more $ for the talent.

[Hiro Protagonist @HiroProRev]

@JakTaitum24 @BanisMajor Realistically most stars who aren’t rim protectors getting defensive awards are juiced by name recognition and didn’t actually have better defensive seasons than the defensive role players who save all their energy for defense and don’t have offensive load.

[Hiro Protagonist @HiroProRev]

@SamQuinnCBS It would be better TV to have no cap and stacked teams in NY and LA against Wemby, let Wemby’s team stay good, don’t need Freddie Mercury with a shitty band behind him we need excellence and spectacle of the highest order.

We need to recover industrialization as a political project. Not merely look at past examples of how states ‘conducted industrial policy’, but come to see industrialization as an alternative to the anachronistic classicism of constitutionalism and legal fetishism.

[Hiro Protagonist @HiroProRev]

@jwsteigleman @KenHeLive “No impact” is silly, the Love lineups in Cleveland all had good offensive ratings from his spacing. A stretch 4 who doesn’t dominate cross matches in the post and who gets cooked on defense is suboptimal for his salary number in the GSW matchup.

@jwsteigleman @KenHeLive Did you watch the games
