Great move to fire Brooks. Hopefully this team goes the way of the Bulls after Jackson was brought in.
 
Bill Simmons also said that KJ McDaniels was a poor mans Scottie Pippen. Simmons is the equivalent of a radio shock jock.

Not even close to the same, if you listened to the podcast he makes a comment saying he knows this is crazy and is basically just saying it because he really like KJ and he doesn't believe the comp.

Good try though.

He qualifies is because he knows its crazy but its what he actually believes. In hte first month of the year he was all over this comparison.

Go look up Noel's comps......the highest percentage is Larry Sanders. You know it's okay that every player doesn't have a crazy comp right? Like, some players just end up being pretty good and not great........not sure if you realize this or not.

I don't care about a players comp which is based on a statistical output after a player has had 1 season. I didn't see Ratliff play all that much so its hard for me to say whether he is that player or not. It doesn't change the fact that I think Noel is going to be a stud in the modern form of how the NBA is played.
 
Russ in LA and KD is Washington with OKC having Ibaka and Kanter with Billy Donovan on the bench is going to be AMAZING.

Even if that happens I will still have comfort that Presti will be able to draft great players and another cycle of entertaining basketball will start again.
 
Fun fact- sixers were better with Noel off court. This was bc the offense was 6 points worse with him on floor.
 
Hello Kevin Ollie.

Sam Presti made call of firing Brooks w/out consulting his players. Was about the long view more than it was last season

Russ and KD looked up to Ollie a lot when he was on the team.

Regarding the latter that's FOS just to get some views.
 
Noel is a stud, BRule and harperfan just never want to admit they're wrong, which is often.
 
He has talent but he is nowhere close to a stud right now. You cannot be a stud being a negative on offense. You cannot be a stud when you're team is better with you on the bench than with you on the court.

For him to be a stud he's going to have to make tremendous strides on offense. If not, he's going to be at best Tyson Chandler. (Has a ways to go for that)
 
It's not my criteria, but i'd like my PG to be able to be a threat late in games shooting the ball.

Russ' shot is fine when he doesnt shoot a bunch of 3's, he has a great mid-range jumper.

Russ shot 31% from 3-10 feet
40% from 10-16
36% from 16 feet to 3P
30% from 3

Wall shot
40 from 3-10 feet
42% from 10-16
40% from 16 feet to 3P
30% from 3

You must really hate Russ, man

LOL no i dont.

But Russ shot more than Wall.

Wall is more of a faciliatator than scorer.

Noel is a stud, BRule and harperfan just never want to admit they're wrong, which is often.

Well there you go...
 
Well the Hawks have played like ballsack and tried their best to pull an Atlanta sports team so far in this series. But up 2-0, so I guess there's that.
 
It's concerning that the Hawks cannot for the life of them put the Nets away.

Winning is all that matters, but against every other team in playoffs they lose these first two games. Play like this against Washington and they are being sent home. Need to play a full 48 minutes.
