August 30, 20205 yr game over. porzingis' ass better be ready to go 82 next year or we might as well move on. Doncic cant do it all by himself. THJ is not consistent at all and Kleber is meh.
August 30, 20205 yr And Leonard does what luka just got called for 10 times a game with no call...or a densive foul. Edited August 30, 20205 yr by Pato del Muerto
August 30, 20205 yr Well they got it back down to where it’ll keep my interest into the 4th. Need to at least make them score with jump shots. They won’t miss layups.
August 30, 20205 yr So they need a good perimeter defender and a rim protector. The next step needs to be defensive.

THJ is not consistent at all and Kleber is meh. 82 huh. That's funny. If he he's 100% all year he wouldn't play 82, nor should he. In addition to those two 1sts, if they'd never played for us and we signed (a healthy) Powell and Brunson this offseason, I'd be pretty stoked.
August 30, 20205 yr We’ll see how Powell’s athleticism is after the Achilles. That’s his biggest asset.

It was just meaning a full season.
August 31, 20205 yr Luka finished this season shooting 46% from the field, 32% from 3, and 76% from the FT line. In the playoffs he shot 50% from the field, 36% from 3, and 66% from the FT line. Watching his post game comments, I can almost guarantee you the taste of this playoff loss is gonna fuel him to another great leap in productivity next season. Hopefully he gets his 3pt% up into the mid 30s next year and clips over 80% from the FT line while maintaining his other stats. Given the leap he made this past season I look forward to an MVP caliber season next year.

Good news is he's too tough for that. not having Porzingis is a killer.

Don't do anything stupid and ruin cap space for 21/22. If you can make a smart trade, add a couple of league minimum vets that want a chance to win, great. They definitely need a goon, and a rebounder and good wing defender...maybe they get those in the draft(if they can find a 3 and D version of Brunson with that 31st pick it would be amazing). 20 hours ago, CBT said: Fuck yeah.

Yep, hope he takes the Dirk route of getting better at at least 1 thing every offseason for the first 10-12 years of his career. Fix that 3 pt shot(really he NEVER takes catch and shoot 3's...he takes those dribbling and step back 3's that are not as efficient) OR fix that FT shot. Either one makes him that much more deadly.
August 31, 20205 yr looks like Luka shot 80% FT w/ real madrid for his career. Last 2 seasons - 16-17 = 79%, 17-18 = 77% He was ~6% better in the tourneys vs league (83 vs 77). He did the opposite in the NBA playoffs (66% in round 1 vs 74% career). so Euro vs NBA he has dropped 6% on FT. YoY he improved his FT % by 4.5% from his rookie season. He averages 2.2 missed FTs per game on 9.2 attempts. so no reason to think he can't get to 78% next season w/o really trying. His 3-pt % actually went down YoY by 1% (31.6% this year) . Playoffs it increased to 36.4% 2-pt FG YoY increase was + 3.6% (46.3%). Playoffs it increased to 50% so everything about this says clutch except the FTs. go figure.

True but he still needs to get it up to a season long percentage comparable to what he shot for the playoffs (36% as opposed to 32%). Plain and simple he needs to become a more dead eye shooter. Doing that makes him even more devastating with his dribble drive and passing ability.
September 1, 20205 yr Luka has one of the highest, if not the highest, usage rates in the league. Catch and shoot threes are never going to be his game.

Catch and shoot threes are never going to be his game. yeah, there would have to be 4-5 passes in the possession for him to get the ball back in a catch and shoot position. which sometimes happen, but not often. he creates the catch and shoot opportunities for everyone else.

Lukas only gonna get better because of it imo.
September 2, 20205 yr so doncic get 15K fine. NBA gonna NBA. couldn't just fine Morris for clear intent to injure. can Laimbeer or Mahorn suit up for us.

September 3, 20205 yr The guy who was 2 feet away from Morris when he popped Luka in the face and didnt go a goddamn thing? Bobby Portis. Floor spacing big (theoretically). Crazy mfer. Knicks like trading with us

September 3, 20205 yr Locked ON Mavs had a breakdown of some second tier FA's . Dragic and Jerami Grant. Theyre up against the cap but have some ability to make some moves.
September 3, 20205 yr Portis smashed his own teammate's face. Hopefully he would have the same mentality to the opposition

Hook 'em. ____________ Nuggets played some bully ball with LAC. It rattled them. For Luka, the Nuggets beat the Clips' Loco. "Remember the Luka!" ~Old Balkan toast.
September 16, 20205 yr Was there much talk about going after Jimmy Butler this past offseason. I've got admit I thought he was an overrated malcontent, but he's proving me 180 degrees wrong. He's a great teammate to great teammates and apparently Philly and Minnesota were lacking in that department.
September 16, 20205 yr just wanted to come here and say Fuck the Clippers. Go get your fucking shinebox and get the fuck out of the bubble. tremendous choke job. there... that was petty, but i feel better.
