In 2022-23 Danny Ainge had a choice of direction in January. He could have given that scrappy .500 team reinforcements to get them in playoffs which may have also sabotaged Minny (we could have finished above them and not give them help with Conley). There are signs that similar choices may be...

So if our talent exceeds expecations and our young guys play too well the coach and FO should sabotage them?

Ace has looked like he is processing stuff out there, which is the opposite of what he should do. Hardy needs to get hm to play his game whatever mistakes may come with that and leave the processing to film room and practice court. NBA speed is merciless and the only way to keep up pace is to...

Man Keyonte has played 3 halves of great basketball and you choose to grade him based on the 1 half where he didnt. You are so glued to that shtick you cant even acknowledge clear and obvious progress that literally every other human being can see,

Your tunnel vision is so rxceptional it neds to be studied.

Or Will Hardy is being allowed to work his magic once again. Like in 2022-23 and 2023-24 before the tires were blown.

I dont know what to take away from this game without overreacting. We looked so good moving the ball and we got practice shots all game while actually forcing Clippers to take much tougher shots. One reason for this blowout was for sure the Clippers being somewhat unserious with their approach...

Are you saying NBA GMs dont make idiotic moves? Those idiots existing is the logic Danny used for pricing his trade chips. Now his son is betting on them not existing by waiting on the Kessler deal.

Yeah I dont get this "wait it out" approach. System fit is also the dumbest argument when you dont know what the NBA will look like in 3 years time and thus the system may change. Like if they abolish the 3pt line then Kessler becomes a god (joke, but the principke applies). Bottom line is...

Sorry but no can do. Im drowning on work and barely got time to post once or twice a day.

To be fair ANY player looks better when the ball is passed around... but I get what you are saying. Lauri turns into a force multiplier on offense when the offense flows and the ball doesnt stop.

I can tell you what they doing: A dollar store bargain bin meme would also work here.

I feel like these lists are always too much influenced by name recognition and fan appeasing. Walker was our best player last year and even if we could shrug off Lauri's year as "down year" I dont think anyone can argue that Kesslers year was an anomaly rather than progress.

To me there are too many moments where I feel sort of awkward about what he just did... and not enough of those moments where I feel impressed by him. But this is a hype and appreciation thread, so I will end this with a positive note by saying he sure looks better than he did last year.

This "will Flagg be a star or not" debate is pretty hilarious if you deep dive into the arguments. Naysayers are not trying to deny what he is (a smart well-rounded player), and his supporters are not denying what he isnt (a self-creating scorer or a great shooter). But for whatever reason both...

@MT Steve been selling for years that Hardy doesnt care about defense. Whether the problem has been in priorities, competence or personnel... I dare not speculate. But it would be foolish to deny us being systematically bad under Hardy. I think the personnel is now slightly better. Sexton and...

Like the more I think about it the less I like the idea that Flip would run with Nurkic instead of Kessler. They have pretty similar strenghts and weaknesses and dont really compelement each other in any ways I can think of. Whether Hardy thinks Flip is ready to play with the big boys or not is...

If I think about our frontcourt options I think with Kessler+Lauri you need shooting, passing and playmaking help and with Nurkic you need defensive help out there. So thus my initial 4/5 pairs in rotation would be Kessler + Flip and Nurkic + Hendricks. 1-3 is more fluid and Hardy has shown he...

I cant decide on the 3rd. Do you guys think Flip can play with Kessler? I really liked him towards the end of last season and then he dominated the SL.. but the fit seems awkward.

My top 1 shot of the last 5 years is the Ja Morant shot where he caught Steven Adams full court heave in the air and shot it in from behind the backboard all in one motion.
