@UofBasketball West has actually well constructed and thought out teams, I don’t think Philly or Miami will be that good, certainly not better than SAS and OKC, I still think only the Knicks can challenge them, and maybe Boston
Too many people overate guards like Powell, Herro, Reaves, Keonte George, Lavine. If your not a top 10 scorer in the league you simply need to provide value in other ways, very least be a good passer and an average defender, super low on these high volume guys with no D
@sixringsofsteeI Cowards nearly 23 and was a good player last year he should be dominating summer league, especially the California classic. Egor looked much improved but I still wouldn’t hold my hat on it
@HeisenBurghh@EricSal_7 Our three best players are 22, 21 and 20 most of our improvement will be driven by then, no point investing too much money and assets into older players
Miami’s starting five (provided they resign Powell) is good enough to compete with New York, the problem is the regular season when u are forced to rely on your bench. Can they get a high enough seeding whilst also ensuring Giannis makes it to the post season healthy?
All the spurs needed to do was attack the paint and use all of the shot clock once the lead was still 30 damn near half way through the 3rd, instead we chucked early shot clock threes and bricked them all, could soaked up 3 mins easily and iced the game w fouls
Brunson has shit running down his legs shooting tour dates and is by the fair the worst defensive player in the series but gets a pass bcos his teams winning
The fear for the Knicks is the Spurs three guards, plus vassel, Wemby and even Johnson at times will relentlessly hunt Brunson and KAT on switches, SASs guards are too big and will murder Brunson, forcing help, leaving either Wemby in single coverage or an open three
Kornet will be unplayable against KAT and Robinson will be unplayable against Wemby. Except KAT will inevitably, like always, be in foul trouble, forcing knicks to either blow up their offence with the Robinson v Wemby matchup, or go small against the great rim threat itl
KAT’s ability to stretch the floor will cause real problems to the SAS defence, we saw this challenge v Twolves when Naz was hitting threes, however it’s likely Wemby will ‘guard’ hart and ignore him completely
