Houston is literally Larry Holmes Garden :flabbynsick:
This season is essentially a promotional tour of Wall & Woods as a core to lure free agents. Next year it's basically just those two, Gordon, House Jr, and Porter Jr under contract. Unfortunately there's no one realistically in 2021 free agency who would come here that would be a difference maker... and Wall will likely exercise his player option the year after, so he'll collect them checks through 2023...

Which means 3 years of what you're seeing now.. a kinda .500 to .600'ish ball club that gets praise for kinda overachieving but that "everyone" ultimately wants to lose so that Zion, Luka, Morant, Booker, etc don't lose out on a playoff spot.

in the bred 4s too:wow:



he clearly don't fukk with Malone not drawing up any plays for him so he's launching every time he gets the ball :russ: it's fukked up but a young player should get some dedication from the coaches in regards to his development :francis:

Denver has gone as far as they can with Malone
I'm not going to lie I want Jokic to rest a few games because I really don't think Malone coaching the offense at all:russ:Every Nuggets possession is a two man PnR, give and go, or Jokic high post. He got at least another year of being safe from the axe since he dodged two gentlemen sweeps last year. A really underrated part of how bad Malone is as a coach is his rotations

A couple Malone WTFs
-Cancar got his first ever meaningful minutes when Hartenstein been the backup C the whole season, but Hartenstein also only plays once every three games.
-He's starting the ghost of Paul Millsap over Jaymichael Green and even though Green has showed he's a better offensive and defensive player (not for nothing either but MPJ has played his best on defense at the 4 because he is hit or miss at best at the 3)
-He's starting Will Barton at the three even though Will's been a non factor on offense most games and his defense is on par with MPJ
-Only the point guards and Jokic have plays run for them so Bol Bol and MPJ have to get theres wherever they get it. This works for MPJ but Bol defers most times so he can't get any kind of rhythm

Mike Malone is not good at adapting on the fly, his rotations are suspect, and he gotta be one of the worst coaches in the league at using time outs. He's not a bad coach at all, and he's a really great coach for young teams but he's not the guy for this squad

Kerr's take on jumping in for fouls:



Steve Kerr on Doncic lean in fouls: “I fault the league for basically gifting those calls to all of our players. Our guys get them, too. To me, it’s not a basketball play. If you jump 3 feet forward, I don’t think you should get a foul when all you’re doing is looking for a foul”




:lupe:

Vogel on drawing 3PT fouls: "I'm encouraging my guys, when they have defenders off their feet, to jump into them and get 3 free throws... Especially when it's their best player, to pick up fouls and get themselves FTs... We have a joke that when somebody does that, they get the day off tomorrow."

:scust:

They may get bounced out in the first round this year. It's not just escaping the gentlemen sweeps.. remember the year before they needed 7 games to survive vs a rebuilding 7th seed Spurs team.. and then went another 7 games life n death vs an injured Blazers squad, choking game 7 at home.

For whatever reason they be bullshyttin waaay too much.. and it'll catch up to them this year if they find themselves a 4th seed or lower.
