No shot for NY if KAT isnt the best player for them 2/4 games. Knicks cannot both stop the lob and Castle/Harper nosedives to the rim. Or letting those drives turn into corner 3s. Its either a Vassell/Champagnie avalanche tn or Castle/Harper 40+ points combined
I can confidently say this Spurs team is team of destiny. True difference is the young trio is punching non stop good or bad. In itself will be more impactful than the Knicks wings+KAT letting the game come to them. Seems 2015 levels of inevitable the new guy stamps the league
@dfbsport@TA1297 To achieve a top 14 pick your season unarguably has to go poorly. Your players must reflect that. You just watched a 56 win season with signs of growth. But you think a bottomed out roster with low market value players plus a late lotto pick will fair better win now with Tatum?
@dfbsport@TA1297 In what ways were those guys unplayable in basketball terms. They werent the primary creators we need off the bench but the issue this playoffs wasn’t because young guys didnt step up it was roster construction
@dfbsport@TA1297 None of those guys listed played enough in the playoffs comparative to reg season mins to be considered “unplayable”. Kinda like the significant leaps they all took surprisingly to most? Pieces need to be added but those guys all have another level to hit
@CarlosAntunes@dfbsport@TA1297 Queta couldnt stop fouling its more development he needs not a lack of skill or effectiveness. He still has a ways to go in the playoffs while already being an effective player
@dfbsport@TA1297 And those guys are ready now contributors in the playoffs in 27? Which of their young guys were unplayable? That seems like a bit of a stretch. Queta was the only one who couldnt be trusted at times and they still desperately needed all his minutes
@dfbsport@TA1297 Why do you think you would be in a better position to contend in 27 coming off a bottom record with a lotto pick instead of rostered players showing development and trade value? No team just gets to tank unscathed? I really get this type of mindset for team building at all
Hey man sorry we fucked up like 5 calls in a row in embarrassing fashion heres a make up call next play no matter what that really wont fix any of our fuckups
@ILoveNESPORTS@StoolGreenie I feel like we should wait atleast 24 hours after a legacy defining game from a 22 yo to make Porzingis what if comparisons
