Some GM is going to lose his job over the pick. I did learn he is from Detroit and played at Cass Tech for two years before transferring to IMG. I also learned Vanderbilt has a player named Chandler Bing. the nba does not care about defense. Quote

You have to be able to keep your guy in front of you. It’s a killer if they can drive the lane with ease and either kick for a 3 or take it all the way for 2. Quote
Deleterious Posted Sunday at 11:57 PM Author Posted Sunday at 11:57 PM Good, well run teams still care about defense. It's no coincidence that the four top ranked defenses are OKC, Detroit, San Antonio, and Boston. 1 Quote
Deleterious Posted Monday at 06:21 PM Author Posted Monday at 06:21 PM They have both picked it up after Ant went down. Quote
Deleterious Posted Tuesday at 01:15 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 01:15 AM Cam Thomas cut by Milwaukee. Another smaller guard that plays no defense. Welcome to the Shanghai Sharks. Quote
Deleterious Posted Tuesday at 03:32 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 03:32 PM I have been trying to fight it, but I don't see how he doesn't win MVP. Unless voters completely ignore the defensive side of his game, which wouldn't shock me I guess. Quote
Hongbit Posted Tuesday at 03:58 PM Posted Tuesday at 03:58 PM I can say with near certainty that voters will be completely ignoring the defensive side of his game. 1 Quote
Deleterious Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Since the all star break. San Antonio is 16-2. OKC is 15-1. Quote
Deleterious Posted Tuesday at 07:44 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 07:44 PM Meh, you idiots bargained for this. Suck it up and live with the results. Quote
Deleterious Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago The west is odd. The two best teams in the league are in the west. Then about 6-7 very mid level teams. Then some absolutely terrible teams. Golden State would be 4 games out of the playin in the east. Quote
Deleterious Posted 8 hours ago Author Posted 8 hours ago Not sure how you recover your value at $10 billion in Vegas or even Seattle. Detroit is the #14 media market in the country. Seattle is 13th, Vegas 40th. Forbes values the Pistons at $3.65 billion, so call it four. An existing team in Seattle or Vegas is going to sell between $3.5 billion and $5 billion. That price gets you everything, the stadium, the practice facility, the staffing, all the equipment, etc. When you bid $10 billion on expansion, you then have to spend more money to acquire everything I just listed. I don't really understand the finances here. Quote
Deleterious Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago Something else to consider with two teams being added to the West. A current Western conference team will be moved to the East. Memphis, New Orleans, and Minnesota are the three talked about. Most feel it will be Minnesota. Another potential top 5 player added to the conference isn't the best news for Detroit. Quote

Deleterious Posted 4 hours ago Author Posted 4 hours ago Sorry. I don't think the 21st ranked defense can be a contender. Quote
