Hoosierhoopster Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 6 hours ago, 5fouls said: Stevens has certainly not achieved what Pop has. But, Pop's not winning another championship anytime soon. From a historical perspective, Pop will probably always rank ahead of Stevens. But,. for strictly looking at the here and now, in 2018, you can make the case for Stevens. KoB covered it, Pop’s elite coaching doesn’t go down because he loses players, and he’ll probably still get this Spurs team to the playoffs — if anything, his getting last season’s team in despite all it went through was further testament to his coaching. Like I said I think Stevens gets there, he’s really good. But he has to win first, as in conference and NBA titles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 If I'm the owner of the Lakers, Rajon Rondo is not on my team any longer. No place in sports for crap like that. If I'm Chris Paul, I'm probably going after him before the opening tip the next the Rockets play the Lakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the Spurs would be better with Stevens? Honestly the answer to both those questions might be yes, for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Well, he spit in his face, that’s what started it. As a former hockey player I really don’t have that big a problem with punches generally, but man if you spit in someone’s face, better be ready for whatever comes back at you. LeBron gathered a collection of headcases,. Be careful what you ask for LBJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Some of these NBA scores are wild. You've got teams putting up 140. GS gave up 81 in a half to Utah. Play small ball, spread the floor, play fast, and launch threes, baby. Edited October 24, 2018 by BobSaccamanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to cross stream on my threads, but it really underscores why we are unlikely to see a lineup that puts Morgan at the 3 or even frankly see Davis play a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 The only thing about the early NBA games that I have not liked is that there are way to many touch fouls called but all sports are about offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an entertaining game though -- was watching it and thought it was over when Reddick hit that crazy 3 for a 4-point play with something like 5 seconds left.

SteveS Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 You know it’s a crazy start to the season when the Nuggets are tied for the best record in the NBA. Of course they have two former Indiana Mr. Basketball recipients in Gary Harris and Trey Lyles. But still ... it’s the Nuggets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good and easily in the MVP consideration(yes I know its only 5 games in but still). Is this his last season under contract? Side note, Pacers took care of the Spurs which was nice considering their bad game against the Timberwolves, very good ball movement, very good bench play and for the most part very good shot selection. Sabonis and Tyreke off of the bench is so lethal. Could either one of these two win the 6th man of the year?

When the Pacers move the ball like they did last night(34 assists) they are a very good team. When they struggle is when they don't move the ball or have no player movement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, and note the balance again -- Vic took 12 shots, but Evans took 14, Young and Sabonis took 9, Turner and Joseph 8, and Bog, Collison, and McDermott 7. Compare the loss to the T-Wolves: Vic took 23 shots (and went 8 of 23), while closest other players (2) took 13. And they lost by 10. I'm going back to what I said earlier, balanced scoring/distribution for this season's team is key. When Vic tries to do too much, they can struggle.

Saturday against Brooklyn they had 9 in double figures and last night had 7. the bench has been great every game except the game against Minnesota and if they can dominate like that then they will have a great season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Before last nights game I believe I heard Quinn or Chris say our bench was ranked 4th so far. We were 1st entering the Timberwolves game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
