Burgold Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I wonder if part of the problem is layers and coaches came into it thinking that this was a set-up year, a year before Durant, and that built in some complacency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckus Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) I think we end the year at 11th or 12th in the east, in year 6 of the John Wall era rebuild. What a disaster.  It is so depressing to watch a team like Boston go on a multi-year championship run. Completely rebuild their roster in 3 years. Bring in a new coach. Gather young talent. Aquire draft picks. Meanwhile, we keep on our 10 year plan. It is embarrassing. Edited December 12, 2015 by Duckus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I feel happened with all the moves towards making sure we had cap space next year instead of building on the the success from last year this season. There's no plan B if Durant doesn't come here, and we all see it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) over/under: 4.5 games missed for Beal's latest injury   he could amputate his leg and still make it back for Nene and his "strained calf" Edited December 12, 2015 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 We are giving up 10 3s a game and allowing 40 percent from 3. Dead last in the league. Last year? 8 3s and 35 percent from 3. What's crazy is that, in theory, we should be better at defending the three ball by going small and not playing Nene at PF. You get a faster defender for rotations and closeouts to the perimeter. But our three point defense has become the worst in the league. We're getting torched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real long term vision, just band aids every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Are injury clause contracts in the nba a thing that exists? Because this team knows all about handing out big money to injured players. Seems to be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I still think some team will give him a max offer  teams are stupid Not with his current numbers. He's shooting so poorly and turning it over so much that his advanced metrics are pretty bad. He would struggle to get Danny Green money if the contract were based on the numbers. 14.8 PER is below league average and his 98 ORtg is particularly terrible. Two fairly serious injuries already this season also hurts him too. But I also expect him to pick up his level of play and improve his numbers. I expect him to come alive for a stretch run, and for him to play big in the playoffs if we make it. That's his ticket to a max contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Has Beal ever had a good PER? 14.8 is higher than any season average he's had in the NBA.  For Comparison purposes, here are the PERs for other SGs in their 4th year: James Harden 23.0 Jimmy Butler 21.3 Kevin Martin 21.0 Klay Thompson 20.8 JJ Reddick 15.0 DeMar DeRozan 14.7 Wesley Matthews 14.1  Beal needs to get healthy and produce some big numbers. Or he needs a desperate team like Dallas to make him an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommiesGo Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) I'd kill for the D'Antoni offense right now. If they miss the playoffs do Ernie and Randy finally get the boot? Edited December 13, 2015 by GoSkinsGo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I wish I had your confidence in him SM Put it this way, I have confidence in his ability and his personality, but not his health. He was playing at the level we needed before he got hurt, and then for a brief moment before this new injury popped up. The issue is that he keeps getting hurt and it keeps killing his ability to consistently produce. But if you determine Bradley Beal is a key piece of your foundation, then I don't think you can let fear of injury push you off that determination. Even with a player with Beal's extensive injury history. Future injuries are still too unknowable. Steph Curry had the injury prone label during his first contract and has been a rock since he signed his extension. On the flip side, Westbrook and Durant were tanks that were near the league lead in minutes played during their first contracts and then lost a lot of time during the second deal with serious injuries. Unless you're talking about old players nearing the end of their careers, injuries are mostly a crap shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Damn that drive was nasty. Dallas' defense is soft. Every half court possession needs to start with a Wall drive to the rim as our first option. Oubre's rebounding is fantastic. Dallas's perimeter defense sucks and they don't have many rim protectors. We need to exploit the crap out of this. It will open up the entire floor for us. So Dallas got a bunch of offensive boards in that first quarter and had a +4 turnover margin. They had tons more possessions and we are only down two. This is a winnable game. Just need to attack the rim relentlessly. Oubre needs to get like 30 minutes tonight.

Going Commando Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Attack Wall Randy needs to be in Wall's ear: "no pull up jumpers before the five second mark. Don't care if you foul out on charges, drive every time you get a glimmer of a step. March needs to do a better job on Pachulia. Pachulia traveled on that possession, was in the key for more than three seconds, and then fouled Gortat as he came down with the rebound. Called for none. Impressive.
