I agree that Mirotic's ascendance is the most likely spot of internal improvement. It's not clear at all that Doug or Snell have high ceilings as...
I wouldn't be surprised if most NBA players think they're secretly capable of doing things they're not well suited to because they have large ego's....
I'm surprised other coaches haven't done it before. I mean.....really? Having a good rapport with the best players on your roster isn't really...
I always got the impression Melo wanted to stay in NYC for financial and personal reasons and psychologized the arrival of Phil Jackson and Cap Space...
Well Denny it's been nice reading your posts around here but to each their own. Enjoy your new fandom and feel free to linger around if you feel...
I understand what you're saying, but when healthy he can score pretty effectively one-on-one and do it against very good defense, so I consider him a...
I openly admit that using the words "great" and "Doug McDermott" together in the same sentence with regards to his NBA production sounds absurd....
This sums up the issue rather succinctly. When I think about where the great might come from, four possibilities come to mind: 1). Derrick 2)....
I don't think it's as bleak as you think. Most of the time a lot of things have to go right for you to be a serious contender. The Warriors last...
Does Taj count as a 2-way guy?
If it is "bone-on-bone" then the best thing would be to run headstrong towards small-ball as our means of competitive advantage. Lots of Taj/Mirotic...
This seems like an important issue to talk about. Jo's made his mark in the league by being a scrappy and talented defensive hustle player who's...
The Bulls figure to be near the top of the Eastern Conference this year, and have a small albeit legitimate chance to make it to the Finals. I...
The big reason for hope with Snell is that it's very easy to play the matchup game with him and it would only take marginal improvements in a variety...
Taj is a much more valuable basketball player than any of those guys. Wouldn't do the deal. I think backup PG is our biggest problem area on the...
I agree that Snell is an anthropometric All-Star and that's one of the reasons his game translates easily. If he had McDermott's measurements he...
The one nice thing about Snell is that it's really easy to stick him in a lineup. So he can find minutes despite not standing out in any particular...
Great post and I agree. Winning and developing talent are compliments not substitutes. Another way to look at it would be to look at contenders...
Just so we're clear, I'm talking about a season that's EXACTLY like last season. Can't get off the bench, abysmal shooting, confidence issues, being...
I agree that if Doug's going to take a while to find his spot in the league his salvation in the interim is likely going to be his shooting. I mean,...
