Terrible coaching with too much emphasis on regular season success
So ridiculous not to see if he can play well enough to take Kevin Martins spot next year and avoid paying dude.

Brooks Reasons.Why is Derek Fisher getting minutes when Lamb is completely dominating the D-League?

DLeague stats mean something?
It does when the guy taking your NBA spot would get piped in the Dleague.

Brooks Reasons.
If we got the number one pick do you think Presti would trade Lamb and the Toronto pick for it?

Burke looks like Lawson redux to me, which easily makes him a top 10 pick. I have no idea why he's being slept on so much.
Also Bennett has tweener size, but he doesn't play like one. He has a post game and he has the girth to play the 4 already. If he was two inches taller/longer scouts would be losing their minds over him. I think it's good to remember what short, but strong 4s like Grandmama and Barkley were able to accomplish in the league. So don't write Bennett or Burke for that matter off because of their size.
burke apparently has a 6'5" wingspan which is excellent for a point guard. i'll chalk up his lack of hype with the fact that he can only play point guard due to his size and most bottom teams already have someone there. i think he'll shoot up around draft time similar to how Lillard did after being initially slotted to go 15-20.
bennett's issue is his defense, what position does he check?

We always say this about tweeners though, and all of a sudden are shocked when they aren't scoring as efficiently/well as anticipated, then to top it off they also suck on D.

He probably doesn't check any position. He can't exert max effort on both ends because of his asthma, he'll probably always be a liability on defense. He's still a massive improvement over any big we have on our roster. I doubt we're targeting him though. Noel and Smart are the type of player that Cho typically goes after.
I would: they love to run; they do shoot threes just not in the same stratosphere as us; their defense is better obviously but they have iggy and chandler. Not that many set plays, though Karl is a great coach and does do the x's and o's late in games.
I see them as doing everything we do, but better. But Asik is arguably better than any of their centers, and Harden is a better offensive force than anyone they have.
Gallinari is their best defender.
^lol no. Iggy is the best wing defender in the league.
Well Royce White's DLeague stats definitely mean he sucks, but yeah players who dominate the DLeague are usually at least decent rotation players in the NBA. Fisher wouldn't get off the bench in the DLeague.DLeague stats mean something?

The ESPN bottom line reads "Heat vs. El Magic." And that's really gross.

Stats show Gallo as being their best man to man defender.

1) let me see the receiptsStats show Gallo as being their best man to man defender.
2) Iggy defends the other teams best perimeter player so Gallo's man to man stats should look better

I just see a guy with star potential that has an impact on the game. Advanced stats show the impact he has.
That still proves iggy is the better defender?

Gallo defends small forwards pretty well but he gets torched by fours

It's almost like he's not a 4 or something.
Gallinari plays a lot of 4. None of those compare defensive stats. I can't find the site, but I saw a breakdown comparing both defensively and Gallinari was better at pps and better against guys like Durant and I think Lebron too defensively.

He plays some 4 depending on the match ups just like a lot 3's in todays NBA. He's not out there guarding Zbos and Milsaps though. He's a 3.
edit: KG out for two weeks with an ankle injury...
I cant believe some writers are saying that the heats streak is more indicative of a down NBA than of them being great.
Was anyone in the NBA in the 70s great besides the lakers and celtics?
It was more competitive. I wouldn't say the league was better though (mainly because 8th man on the bench from today's game would've been the best athlete on the floor most nights back then).

The parity in the league is at an all-time low. The Heat are good, but they're not facing much resistance either.
I think Branduil said it best:
"Why are people acting surprised that a team formed by collusion for the specific purpose of breaking basketball is doing so."

Yes there were great teams in that 10 year span....like...is that even a question?
LA set the record playing 15 teams above 500 and 18 below.
Miami has played 11 teams above 500 and 15 below.
If they match 33 wins it will be 14-19, almost the same as the 72 Lakers. If I had the time to compute total combined win percentage of their opponents, I think LA's would look more difficult.

Yea I didn't look up the specific stats so I guess it makes sense. the records do make it equal then but the writer was trying to make it seem like it was much harder back then. Thanks for the clarification.
I think Presti is desperate for size, so he'd probably do it and take Noel.If we got the number one pick do you think Presti would trade Lamb and the Toronto pick for it?
That has to have been from 2006 or 2007. People change, Dr. Blade.... lawl, looks like we got a turncoat here.

I'll fold, LoJ.
Anthony Bennett is a good alternative to suicide.
Even if he is a sieve defensively he is a beast on offense. With the way GMs and executives ignore defense in favor of offense I wouldn't be surprised if we were able to inflate his trade value and move him for something more valuable. And regardless he'll make Mullens look absolutely useless in comparison, which I'm pretty sure we'd both be cool with.

Williams scored most of his points from the perimeter in college, Bennett did most of his damage in the post. He's a faceup 4 all the way, he's just undersized.
