Russillo went through it and they've always had turnovers. IMO, if they're going to turn the ball over, they need to have the offensive efficiency, which at this stage is probably going to come from movement.

And defense is the killer for them. Turnovers is fine if you can get some back. If you turn the ball over and they score, it blows.

True they have always turned it over but I was thinking more of the 20+ they had in Game 6 through 3 quarters. They can't do that against Luka lol.

It's just his troll shtick... if there's a majority opinion out there, he's arguing the opposite.... and the weirder or dumber it makes him look, the better.

Hell, he said something in a craft beer thread a while back about how craft beer sucks, then must have forgotten he planted that bait because several hours later made the opposite remark.

After reading your replies I get you don't like white guys in the NBA lol

I like Caruso who is a joy to watch. Birdman was fun to watch even though that was years ago.

I don't like the european style of basketball. Jokic and Doncic play it to a tee. Like how Embiid and Giannis play, so its not solely euro and rest of the world hate.

All of those guys are ****ing hacks. They are effective and good, don't get me wrong but I hate to watch them play. I feel like Schrempf played a little different but its been so long I dont know.

Dirk Nowitzki is offensive to basketball. Big, tall, slow mother ****er who just used angles and a high release point to score effectively.

I don't mind Rudy Gobert. Steven Adams, Clint Capela. Kristaps is kind of a let down but hes kind of fun to watch.

Wasn’t that in the Game 1 that the Grizzlies lost?

I could be wrong. There were so many Wolves meltdowns I thought would get put away that it’s all one big blur of disappointment to me.

Now THIS is basketball. Lol at the guy who tried to take a charge. Standing motionless with your arms to your side, you know, the universal I suck at defense so I just want to take a charge pose is never a natural basketball move. It should never be rewarded with a charge. You shouldn't HAVE to stand like that to get a charge call if refs were worth a shit.

This was the huge dunk in game 5 that turned the momentum of the game before Ja just completely took over in the 4th. I was at this game and could definitely feel the momentum shift with that dunk. That dunk pretty much won the Grizzlies the series.

Jaden Ivey would be nice but I bet the Thunder think they are set in the back court with SGA and Giddey.

Dallas Mavericks were 16-18 on December 29th and then had .750 winning percentage the rest of the season to finish 52-30 and seem better prepared for playoffs after trades at deadline.

Boston Celtics were also 16-18 and finished 51-31, but finished the season on a 26-6 run.

Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors were solid all year and finished 53-29.

Any of these four teams could win it all.

He’s got that MJ mentality where if you piss him off he will go off. They were down 0-2 and Lukas walking into the locker room and you can here him saying “everybody’s a tough guy when they’re up”. Devin Booker and Chris Paul did their damndest to intimidate and he destroyed them in game seven. He was laughing after every three pointer and talking shit to the crowd. I love it.

I don’t watch or follow college b-ball so don’t know any of these prospects but that Chet dude looks like a more skinny Shawn Bradley.
