Strength helps you get easy shots. Compare with Luka, who is a good, though not unusual pure shooter. Yet Luka always gets a good look because he...
Playoff series become very matchup and strat dependent, and teams will pick apart your weaknesses. The challenge with Gobert is that, like most...
Mitchell is better than Green, but that's not the question. Getting Mitchell means that we now have an undersized player who will prevent Amen and...
Mitchell is solid, but he is ball dominant and yet well below the top tier. A team with him as it's #1 option can't win a series vs players that...
If winning in the playoffs is your goal, then your best player needs to be better than their best player. Certainly Jalen's gotten better over...
Yea, agree. Though, in my opinion there is a lot more talent parity than there used to be. There are a few megastars, and then there are way more...
Morey's best era was early when he was making contract and analytics-oriented transactions that other teams didn't understand: Scola for trash,...
Harden simply is the player he has always been— a high iq player with great handle and vision, but non-elite shooting and physical traits. His...
Calvin Ridley was coming off a 2nd team all-pro NFL season when he got suspended for this.
Prob true, but it's not public information how much action there is. It's easy to imagine that Ohtani's interpreter was encouraging him to throw...
Yes, we're in agreement. I have no moral problem with the gambling. But I personally would like to see players play excellent basketball. If the...

There are $$$$$ to be made, unfortunately in ways that are undermining the product. NBA reffing is already quite entertainment-driven, rather than...
The sky is the limit with Amen. There are a lot of simple things he can improve on in his 3pt form, such as shooting with his legs and...
For comparison, Robert Horry has a career PER of 13.4. PJ Tucker has a career PER of 9.9. Lou Williams has a career PER of 18.0.
PER is not a good metric for comparing these two players. On offense, PER correlates with usage. While it penalizes players who are inefficient,...
He only needs more strength because his form is bad. Sabrina Ionescu shoots 3s 50% better than Jalen.
Ok I'm glad you've seen it. I haven't watched enough full games-- will have to look for that more. It doesn't bother me if he's not the team...
He has a good work ethic, but it doesn't seem like coaching is the problem to me. I just don't get the vibe he cares much about winning. Kobe...
Harden has always been incredibly skilled with one of the best bbiqs in the league. But he is not physically dominating, which hurts him in the...
