Good god I loved I love boosters and I’m trying to figure out how the get in the next @BootsRiley party
English
@fp_jr And let’s talk about Brandon belt while we are at it
English
Just imagine the score if Triple’s Alley wasn’t a thing. I think it’s time we have this conversation again.
English
@samesfandiari A ballhandler with size. Thats what has been missing.
English
@samesfandiari Can we hope that they don’t and are willing to give him up for very little? #copium
English
Eventually Thunder will realize he’s better than Ajay and JDub offensively.
The Warriors Invitational 🏆@BlqMgck
Yeah y'all can ignore it but..McCain hoop like a poor man's Steph
English
@BaseballJeff1 If we are doing this to make comparisons, it’s pretty early and milky never won a championship. But also, we know that mully was working for one of the worst owners of all time. Much more nuance in giants situation. Same ownership grp, diff maj owners
English
Random question. Did Chris Mullin's run as the head of the Warriors' front office affect his legacy? His tenure was more bad than good due in part to poor ownership, and he oversaw the "We Believe" Warriors. I barely even think of this when I see him on TV.
English
@MrGeorgeWallace I actually think a lot of these people have become the emotional support animal for these dogs. Is that something? And whatnot?
English
Why the hell do you need your emotional support dog in the damn Olive Garden? Those unlimited breadsticks got you stressed the fuck out?
English
@MiroslavCuk Luck has always come into play. I think this was your point. All championship runs involve luck. Can we stop trying to add asterisks to everything?
English
The Warriors were incredibly lucky to be able to sign KD because of a cap spike that will never happen again.
OKC was lucky to have all those picks when CBA made picks incredibly valuable.
SAS were lucky to get picks 1, 2, and 4 in consecutive years before it was made illegal.
Pančevo, Srbija 🇷🇸 English
@BDPeacock I know that the advanced analytics (whatever those actually are) say this is somehow better, but I just can't be convinced that I am supposed to enjoy it more. Also, when everyone throws 100mph, its also not fun to watch
English
@timkawakami I teach 9th grade English. The writing on those sites look like what my most average students turn in (who are probably using AI haha)
English
Sorry. I'm mean. But every time I get pushed to an aggregation site, I can't believe how terrible the writing is.
Every single click-bait BS story is just horrendous writing. Might be AI. Might be terrible writers who sound like bad AI.
Garbage-clicks = garbage writing.
English
@Eden_Eats Can AI make my bed? Can it clean my toilet? Don’t use it to do the one thing that sets humans apart from animals!
English
@warriorsworld Can someone compile a list of the players he has made these empty threats against? JB, KD, LBJ,…
English
Why does he do these lame ass threats? Never follows though with them anyways.
Polymarket Hoops@PolymarketHoops
Stephen A. Smith claps back at Jaylen Brown for scrutinizing him on his stream 😳 “Jaylen Brown be careful what you wish for. You really want me to start reporting on that level? You understand? Locker room, how the organization might think about you, how the city may feel about you, how Jayson Tatum may or may not feel about you, sneaker deals, endorsement deals, the list goes on and on.” (via @FirstTake)
English
@AndyKHLiu It’s ownership. Always remember it’s ownership.
English
Posey and Minasian might be more to blame tbh
Jake Clark@mrclarkinc
@AndyKHLiu Tony V is a joke
English
@samesfandiari 2. Owners were dumping bad signings for small salaries and picks: now we have salary matching in trades. But 1st rounders are super valuable? But they don’t really count in trades? And if you are over the cap there is no way to get under really.
English
@samesfandiari There are a few more: 1. Cheap owner keeps selling off 1st round draft picks because he doesn’t want to pay them: can’t trade 2 in a row (except now there is a cap on those salaries so no one would sell those off for bad reasons)
English
I would care less about new lotto rules if nba didn’t kill FA and trades as viable team building avenues with all the parity CBA bs.
Everything is reactive. No one thinks systemically or bigger picture. awful
English
@therealjcheng @TommyGunnNBA So much this! Westbrook has some sneaky low bball iq. So does kd. And even Harden. They can pile up stats but actually understanding the game and being able to see two passes ahead? Nope
English
@TommyGunnNBA Also has fans believing that they can be or are good defensive players. Seen this discourse with Westbrook for the longest time.
English
Unironically, this is a pretty good explanation for a lot of the discourse surrounding Kuminga.
His biggest fans see his eye-popping vertical athleticism as reason to believe he can be a STAR… when in reality, it just establishes his floor as a role player.
But, his “lack” of feel relative to most stars in the league is what stop him from having star/superstar potential.
Latif Love@realLatifLove
Athleticism (especially vertical athleticism) is often discussed as a ceiling-raising trait, but in reality, it's closer to establishing a floor for a prospect. Processing, feel, IQ, cognition, or whatever word you want to use regarding basketball intelligence is what raises a prospect's ceiling. That’s why I struggle with the idea that the prospect with a computer for a brain has such a limited ceiling.
English
@samesfandiari It is just painfully obvious they didn't learn from Jerry West. He said something along the lines of looking for at least one at least skill. Klay's shooting was the example I remember. What was Wiseman's? What was Kuminga's? I think this was your point a few days ago.
English
Endlessly funny Warriors were ahead of curve on this… then got their two lotto picks and didn’t understand this. Almost like..
Mavs Film Room 🐴🎥@MavsFilmRoom
A clip from 2021 of Mavs GM Mike Schmitz talking about the evolution of evaluating upside in the NBA Definitely think he would have loved Boozer, but the better question now is who does this apply to in the Mavs range 🎥 Rising Coaches YouTube Short
English
@samesfandiari They need to start getting rid of some of the rules now. Get rid of salary matching in trades. Or let teams trade as many draft picks as they want.
English
@BaseballJeff1 Our version of AI was basically plagiarism but you changed the wording slightly. It took more time but not much more thought. You felt accomplished thought
English
We did not have AI back then, but we knew a few tricks. Enlarge the period to a size 14 font, and your 8-page paper just became a 10-page paper.
Lo@lolo_tho
I was told by a 22yr old today that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without AI.
English
@bigkino217 @olddirty_baroo Wiseman was also made of glass apparently. Needed to play to get better, but was so bad when he played he made the whole team worse. Then he kept getting hurt. Worst possible combination of circumstances for that pick. Should’ve traded it but no one really wanted it enough
English
@olddirty_baroo Podz played as a rookie. Tjd played as a rookie. Post played as a rookie. Richard played as a rookie. Idk where this narrative comes from that Kerr won’t play young guys. He just won’t play you if you’re doing stupid shit that hurts the team
English
They should pick a rookie that doesn't fucking suck and then he'll play. Pretty crazy concept.
Kenzo Fukuda@kenzofuku
My takeaway from Steve Kerr and Mike Dunleavy's pressers is that all parties feel much more aligned based on Kerr expressing his desire to build a better foundation and saying the rookie will play. We'll see how that alignment plays out this summer.
English
@TommyGunnNBA I honestly don’t know what the dubs need most right now. My theory for years has been a ball handler with size. Someone who compliments Steph in the backcourt. Your thoughts on needs?
English
Good list! Would consider moving Mara down a spot or two, and Stirts up to tier 2… but lots of good players here, imo.
𝑫𝑱@30sLegacy
Here is my tier list for the Warriors pick at 11 assuming we stay there. Aday Mara pick would be A+ but at this point it’s unlikely he falls that far. Koa Peat may be going back to college.
