RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - KillerLeft - 08-09-2021 (08-09-2021, 04:43 PM)mavsluvr Wrote: I don't know. I don't think the Mavs are necessarily under the impression that Kidd is a BETTER coach than Carlisle. There's not really any evidence to support that, that I'm aware of. But he's a DIFFERENT coach, and that might be enough for guys who had issues with Rick. I don't object to this, but...would've been nice if the DIFFERENT coach had a history of being a GOOD coach, too. But, I've made my peace with Kidd. I'm going to give him a chance.

I'm right there with you. On all counts.

Yeah, I think the mavs will have some improvement just from having a different voice, but I agree it would have been nice to replace Carlisle with someone with a better coaching history than Kidd. It'll be interesting to see what happens in Indiana where they get a new voice AND a good coach at the same time. RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - michaeltex - 08-10-2021 (08-09-2021, 03:44 PM)DallasBasketball Wrote: Another way to look at Mavs position in the West is to just separate the 50 win teams from everyone else. IMO... LAC are a 1-horse show with a questionable lead horse. Success depends on KL coming back late season, but even that might be too late. LAL are a bucket of nuts and bolts without any framework for attachement. Your 04-05 analogy is right on. DEN is still a challenge, but without Murray??? UTA still has their 3pt shooters, and Gobert in middle. Kind of what DAL aspires to? PHX success depends on CP3 staying healthy and involved. MEM is poised to make a big jump in competitiveness. POR is just waiting on the other shoe to drop and either Dame or CJ leaving. GSW is a wildcard. If Klay comes back (after 2 years!) close to his old self then they could be a favorite, but I wouldn't expect much until mid-season. I see DAL as possibly top 4 with UTA, PHX, MEM and LAL being the competition. LAL because LBJ and AD are a lot, but I'm expecting one or both to miss time with injuries. RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - HAguiar95 - 08-10-2021 Really can't see Dallas going higher than 5th. DEN, LAL, UTA and PHO are a tier ahead for sure. Now in a Bo7, maybe we can beat UTA and DEN if the stars align. Obviously anything can happen as far as injuries go. RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - Chicagojk - 08-10-2021 Warriors second round pick Nico Mannion from 2020 is discussing a contract with Virtus Bologna. Interesting. He played pretty well for the Italian Olympic team. I thought he would get a spot on the Warriors team but mainly play G-league. He needs minutes though. Interesting direction to take for development. RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - Kammrath - 08-10-2021 (08-10-2021, 09:10 AM)michaeltex Wrote: IMO... I think the West is wide open and there are no "sure things." I think the Mavs could easily finish top 4 (even top 2 in some scenarios, like with KP finding his old self). I also think the Mavs could also finish 6 or 7 seed in some scenarios.

I can’t fault you for putting Memphis in your top 4. Especially concerning is how well they matched up with our Mavs last season.

If the odds are 50% Mavs have home court advantage / 50% Mavs do not have home court advantage(or worse) Would you take the over or under? Over = HCA Under = 5 seed or worse RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - Jmaciscool - 08-10-2021 (08-10-2021, 09:48 AM)Kammrath Wrote: https://twitter.com/TheNBACentral/status/1425100266622394369 Wonder if Philly tries to call BS on not being able to call BS... RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - cow - 08-10-2021 Tank that trade value, Ben! RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - Kammrath - 08-10-2021 From Marc Stein: Quote:When Miami exercised Goran Dragić’s $19.4 million team option for next season on Free Agency Eve on Aug. 1, its willingness to surrender salary-cap space to retain Dragić suggested to numerous rival teams that the Heat knew they were getting a free-agent commitment from Lowry and knew they had a sign-and-trade deal in place with Toronto. The Heat will undoubtedly counter by insisting that they did nothing wrong — that they were able to construct a sign-and-trade so swiftly by leaning on knowledge gained from their extensive discussions with the Raptors on a potential Lowry deal before the March 25 trade deadline. Miami is likewise sure to point to Lowry’s status as the godfather of Heat star Jimmy Butler’s daughter as a further connection between the parties, since league officials have long held that policing player-to-player discussion is something they intend to avoid absent proof that the player is operating as a proxy for his own front office. Quote:What are the chances that either one of these sign-and-trades, or both, is voided by the league? RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - Mavs2021 - 08-10-2021 (08-10-2021, 01:13 PM)Kammrath Wrote: From Marc Stein: All I want to know is how exactly the league interprets "player functions as a FO proxy GM". Can it be any more blatant than LeBron admitting that him and AD invited Westbrook over for a trade discussion two months ago only for it to happen a few months later. Or that he recruited Melo? Of course rules never apply to the king, travelling or tampering. Technically the Mavs also tampered with the DAJ 2.0 signing announcement, but Silver probably let it go, because we had been punished enough already by DAJ 1.0 and actually successfully signing DAJ 2.0.

RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - jesusshuttlesworth82 - 08-10-2021 I wonder what percentage he shoots in practice and how much of it is mental. https://streamable.com/052ap8 RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - SleepingHero - 08-10-2021 (08-10-2021, 02:31 PM)jesusshuttlesworth82 Wrote: I wonder what percentage he shoots in practice and how much of it is mental. The fact that he doesn't attempt them is 100% mental. The 76ers are practically begging him to launch them up regardless of outcome and he still doesn't do it. The fact that he sucks so bad at shooting is 100% mechanical though. Dude is right handed and is forcing himself to shoot left handed.

The 76ers are practically begging him to launch them up regardless of outcome and he still doesn't do it. In the game, he doesn't get 30 shots to get in rhythm, no music, no opposition and really, selectively when the spotlight is on him. In the game, he has angry fans, possibly someone closing out on him, a shorter time, less predictable opportunities, and he might get 5 total shots in the flow of the game, and they all need to go in. What the video shows is that it is totally mental...unfortunately, that is often the absolute hardest thing to fix. When you shoot, there are mechanics that can be taught, but everyone uses loose principles to find their shot....When you think about Marion to Jamaal Wilkes to Mike Tobey (the Bill Cartwright clone shot), this entire deal is all mental, imho. RE: AROUND the NBA: MIA/TOR & CHI/NOP under investigation for tampering - cow - 08-10-2021 DFS often gets down on himself but still pulls the trigger. He credits the team believing in him and specifically "the head of the snake". Luka put belief in DFS and thus DFS believes in himself. Maybe Luka is a more nurturing teammate than Joel. |
