Honestly happy with the trade, I thought GSW were going to get more for D’lo.

by CBarca Thu Feb 06, 2020 9:40 pm

Wow. Feels like Wolves killed it there. D'Lo is a big upgrade on Wiggins, and Spellman is a contributor. Second round picks are not really all that valuable. Losing a first hurts but I feel like Timberwolves have done well honestly

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Feb 06, 2020 10:13 pm

Considering Wiggins is not very good and a terrible fit with Golden State I'm inclined to agree.

Terrible fit allowed to what they had?

If anything DLo was the worst fit possible for that team. A ball hog and terrible defender in a position where he’d never even play meaningful minutes next season.

DLo is also incredibly overrated after his false all star selection

Giannis is the worst GM of all time

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Feb 07, 2020 12:21 am

At least D-Lo could take some playmaking responsibility.

Wiggins in that team has to...

A: Defend at a high level

B: Make 3s at a high level.

Neither of which he's proven he's capable of, he's a horrendous fit based on what he's shown he's capable of so far.

JJ's reaction rofl

We cleared the bench with 6 minutes left 27 up we ended up only winning by 6 lmao.

That lineup will probably never see the light of day again lmao.

Giannis is walking to the finals Laughing

The amount of people who get paid to watch Basketball and actually don't is startling.

People making a big deal about PJ Tucker playing Center when he's been doing it for the last month and Webber saying this lineup will be the first time this happened in 50 years when again they've been doing this for a month.

Haven’t seen the game yet, but had the result spoiled already ffs. Life as a European NBA fan.

Detroit accepting pennies for Drummond Laughing

Gave away pennies to get rid of him. No idea why they kept Rose then. Should've probably gotten something for him if they're looking to tank.

Clippers have a better "small ball" line-up than Rockets if necessary ?

Beverley-Kawhi-Morris-George-Harrell. Good luck.

by El Gunner Fri Feb 07, 2020 11:48 am

don't forget Lou Will

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Feb 07, 2020 12:01 pm

Glad the Rockets won, the stupid as hell takes regarding their line up by people who clearly hadn't seen them play were annoying.

I think that was the point of the move for the Rockets, to match better with these teams. Doesn’t mean they’ll win necessarily but at least they will compete now as opposed to what the Rockets were before the trade, which was a 99% chance of a first round exit.

by CBarca Fri Feb 07, 2020 12:28 pm

I love hating on people who don't watch games as much as the next guy, but it's one game

And yeah it's fair to say rockets have been playing small ball as their primary lineup for a while, but now that they've made a full switch I think it's fair to take a wait and see approach.

But it's not, they've been playing small for over a month.

They made the trade simply because of it's success. But that's missing the point.

And January was by far their worst month because of it.

Good game last night though.

Can’t wait for when playoffs come and we finally decide to go small.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Feb 07, 2020 1:46 pm

Pretty sure that's not true but okay.

But regardless, the issue is that they've been doing for a month and people are acting like it was forced upon them by the trade lol.

Not to mention the selective as hell commentary to suit their agendas and bias.

It was terrible.

by Freeza Fri Feb 07, 2020 2:11 pm

They were 7-7 in January. Think they had a 4 game losing streak that was abnormal though. But Harden had a terrible month by his standards and the record reflected it.

That wasn't reflective of their choice to go small though, it was reflective of Harden sucking ass lol.

Besides I'm not arguing this is good or bad, I'm arguing people are morons and hearing people give out trash selective commentary and make it abundantly clear you don't actually watch games are trash.

by Kick Sat Feb 08, 2020 8:47 am

That non-call on Dame was horrific and ruined what was shaping up to be an excellent finish.
