I thought you said you don’t care?

Adams has been y’all most impactful player in the last two wins. That should tell you everything.

Hint - GS don’t have any frontcourt depth.

Looks like Adams being gone actually hurts them more than not having an actual PG. Their rebounding and defense in general has tanked without him.

At this point, Ime is defensive MDA. I watched MDA for 4 years make zero adjustments while having other worldly offense. This team was playing standout defense for a lot of the season until Adams’ injury, but from the start the offense has been stuck in the mud hoping for KD heroics, who has played at an MVP level for the majority of the season. Eason has fallen off a cliff for some reason, and DFS has provided nothing. They’re getting a LOT of minutes to do nothing and Ime just folds his arms and lets nothing happen just like MDA used to.

Tonight's Lakers-Rockets game is a PRIME EXAMPLE of WHY I've been telling yall for YEARS that Kevin Durant is the single most overrated player in the last 25 years. This is always who's been when he doesn't have an ALL-NBA Point Guard or Steph Curry next him. If you put too much on his plate, he becomes a turnover prone liability and all his limitations are seen. He's strictly a one-on-one player and when you pull him outside of that role, he gets exposed for what he is. Even when he's hyper efficient, this is how he's looked in many playoff series pre-Steph Curry.

I see a certain poster is in here c00ning it up on behalf of a “black” coach that says he doesn’t see color :mjlol: No surprise because he still thinks Steve Kerr is a good coach :bryan:

Mazzulla inherited the healthiest team in the league the past 2 years, benefited from lopsided trades from tanking teams and has 2 borderline superstar players in their prime. They fire up more 3s than anybody and when they make them they win. When they don’t, they lose.

As @DraymondT has spelled out, he has been thoroughly out coached time and time again.

Ime has taken a team with very young players and made them into competitors playing unselfish basketball. Mazzulla would’ve been on his way to being fired if he was coaching the Rockets.

Udoka stood no chance after this jinxing ass fool was behind him. Meanwhile, Mazzulla is flourishing in Boston.

The only thing that Ime has proven is that he's a good motivator, but that doesn't make you a good coach.

TheColi has this infatuation with these type of coaches out of some false sense of pride that they buck the trend of the league (where they perceive coaches are all about analytics). None of these cats could tell you a cotdamn thing that he does well as a coach, they just get up on that rostrum and do their best Dead Mike impression about him being Black.



The shooting isn't there because they're not creating good looks.

Now dig -

The Rockets are last in the league for assist rate, and they're last in the league for shot generation (which measures the quality of shots a team creates).

Jabari Smith Jr. was one of the best shooting big men in a long damn time coming out of college; FVV has had multiple seasons being an efficient high-volume 3-pt shooter; JG has an extensive scoring skillset; Sengun is one of the more versatile scoring big men; both Amen and Eason are two of the better play-finishers at their respective positions.

They have the talent. It just needs to be utilized properly.

They're in year two under Udoka with the same roster, so they should be a lot further along the curve than they are on offense. They don't play for one another, they don't screen for one another, they stand around watching when one another on offense, they don't play with any confidence and they take the path with the most resistance to score.

It's ugly ass basketball, and there's no excuses for it.
