Whether he did it by luck or on purpose is moot at this point. Hou and OKC (the 2 new super teams) are just poor man's versions on GS. GS will run then out of the gym barring injuries (plural).

Pels theoretically cause them some match up issues but it also could backfire miserably and cost NO AD in the long run. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Pels finished 4 or 12 in the West but they should be fun to watch.

Yeah, it's moot now, but this wasn't some design by Dell Demps to build a roster to take on the Warriors.

That's what I love most about this team, they're built completely opposite of what Golden State is and what everyone els is trying to copy. The Pels strength is GS weakness and nobody in the league can matchup with this front court. Everyone els is trying to copy the Warriors but that can't be done the best way to challenge them is to build in the opposite direction with your bigs and inside game. I don't think they're going to be able to be better than the Warriors but I love the way they matchup with them now. Plus adding Rondo is the perfect point guard to play with Boogie and Davis he will give them so many open looks and easy scores at the basket. I know the big concern is spacing but the NBA was played at a very high level long before teams were jacking up 1,500 3s per year and with what Boogie and Davis will be facing in terms of individual matchups they could both be in the top 10 in FG%. Also what we lose in shooting with Rondo we makeup for it with how well the 2 bigs shoot the ball. If they play at the right pace and pound the rock inside there's no reason they can't be a rich mans version of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Reading comprehension is not needed? It was a question not a statement.

About as embarrassing as you are not learning grammar. If NOLA doesn't make the playoffs then was it a good trade? No.

Cousins will be there this year so how is that irrelevant?

95% of the league wouldn't even want rondo as the last man on they bench. And we found a squad that's gonna hand him the reigns.
Rondo is a secretively great guy who will latch on to his new city. Guy that's ready to share the ball who knows how the game is played. He's achieved at the VERY highest levels and monitored GREAT players' egos.

This is a great signing.

I'll give you another chance

Explain why Houston will use the M2O
Also what is M2O

Or

is the SPR what Rox use and who else uses it


These are generic terms and taught by all coaches/schools

Their bench

Reins.

I disagree on 95% not even want rondo on their bench/team.

No worse than 65%.

because they're not going to do shite next year.
But they can start taking the steps to contend in 2-3 years from now.

He thinks he's smarter than his coach and undermines them at every stop. For a weak organziation like the pels that spells trouble.

That was funny. I give S some due in that He knows his x and o better than most here but to call out the person he did is one of the worst posters here to call out on x and os.
