NON-JAZZ NBA PLAYOFF thread

[infection]

You know what stings is that Zanik was in the Milwaukee front office so likely they have his contact info... maybe they don't like each other though.

Its gonna be hilarious when the media sings DL's praises for going to get a mediocre 3-D guy with our mini-MLE two years later than he should have. What a roster architect this guy is!!! Super genius!!!

The problem is we’re going to sign a guy who can’t crack Quin’s rotation and will still be behind Niang.

Niang likely leaves unless he takes the minimum.

Niang likely leaves unless he takes the minimum.

I think he lost a lot of money in the past couple weeks. I think there are huge blindspots in both the FO and coaching staff, and they coalesce to create unique issues. A good example was Exum, who the FO loved and Quin… not so much. So we may end up signing a token guy who all the media can say “see, they identified a problem and addressed it,” but that guy won’t even be in the rotation. Oni served that purpose last year, to a lesser extent, that we pointed to him as the defensive versatility, when he had no chance of seeing the floor.

We’re likely to end up with a guy nobody has heard of but “hey, he was runner up for defensive player of the day in his conference two years ago,” or “in high school they called him Mr. Lockdown!” We’ll get the next iteration of the balance beam and hand pads.

How did you not link your two thoughts together... That is exactly what they do... but they bring in Dante for the minimum "remember when he locked up Harden for 3.5 possessions?"

Defensive need addressed!

It has familiarity... DL would get to say "see I told yall!" if it worked... it doesn't address the need but media can make it look like he's playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers. "yeah he could get a basic 3 and D guy but Dante lit up the 2013 worlds and has way more upside than that and he fits the defensive need... lolz".

Gotta laugh seeing Saric being able to seal Batum, thus allowing himself an easy entry pass for a layup when Batum bodied Gobert around.

It's actually ****ing pathetic.

The Jazz guards never threw him the ball... it’s really their fault... not Rudy’s. Quit being such a casual... Rudy is Shaq he just has no one to feed him.

Rudy is a terrible sealer. I'm not sure if you're being serious.

Also fun to see Craig stay in front of Jackson! Glad we stood by Oni when Craig was on the waivers...

I was kidding. We aren’t allowed to talk about Rudy’s weaknesses.

Someday Oni could be as good as Craig... gotta put a few more years in.

This Suns team is like ten men deep. With proven NBA caliber vet Kaminsky , jevon Carter and their 10th pick Jalen Smith not even cracking the rotation. Gotta give James Jones credit for filling up the roster real nicely. Setting up in every way for Monty to succeed.

 

[jom2003]

Can't believe Cam Payne does it again. That's all star caliber contribution on a min contract. Doing it deep in the playoffs too
