In my heart I’m not much of a Tim Duncan “hater” but I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to spread the gospel Here’s a snippet of my argument for Kevin Garnett’s case as the best power forward in NBA history

No one in the league iterates faster than Minnesota, who are surrounding Ant with his 3rd distinct supporting cast in 4 years of contention. Their aggressive use of the space created by the Randle salary dump embodies their approach this offseason and in years prior.

Duncan Robinson instructed Paul Reed to slip the flare BEFORE the play DRob knows CLE wants to show 2 on Cade, so he ghosts the step-up screen and veers into Reed's screen CLE scrambles -> Mobley has to show -> Reed slips & it's a wide-open layup with Spida in weakside help

Every season Cleveland keeps Donovan Mitchell on the roster further depreciates the 30+% of the cap they allocated to Evan Mobley. 1 of the most glaring examples of incongruence between a team’s two best players in the league, CLE MUST make a decision between them this offseason

Are the Rockets the best negotiating FO in the league? Are they consistently drafting players who are just sub-max contract level? … or did they create a system that suppresses offensive development that enables them to compete while getting young talent at a discount?

Cleveland has quadrupled down on a roster that will remain incongruent unless they acquire one of the most valuable archetypes in the league. While Peyton is their most promising spin yet, I’m skeptical whether he can plug the many holes in the backcourt AND frontcourt.

THE PATRICK WILLIAMS THEORY The most detrimental players in the NBA are the ones who quietly diminish their teams’ ability to rebound, win the FT differential and TO battle and knock down more shots than their opponents.

Aaron Turner is right, Jonathan Kuminga was, in fact, the Hawks’ best player last season.* (as long as you completely ignore sample size, the quality of the opponents faced, 3P variance, ATL’s rotations and assess impact solely off of on-off data)*

my thoughts on why the Hawks traded away their former #1 pick 2 years into his rookie contract plus OKC’s cap work, my skepticism for Zacch’s scheme fit in Dallas & whether Dort/Risacher will continue to be bottlenecks for their new teams

The 5 players to average at least 5 OREB per 75 and 8 DREB per 75 last season, sorted by OREB per 75: 1. Mitchell Robinson (former Knick, lost to BOS in free agency) 2. Donovan Clingan (POR cornerstone) 3. Moussa Cisse (extended offer sheet, potential Knick) 4. Andre Drummond (Knicks signed him in FA) 5. Robert Williams (POR unwilling to trade, injury risk) With Clingan/Timelord unavailable and Mitch cost-prohibitive, the Knicks have done a great job using minimum contracts to approximate what Mitch brought to their roster. Cisse has a massive frame & hits all the rebounding thresholds despite his inefficiencies on offense, NY is likely betting the stronger offensive infrastructure will help him be a better finisher. Finding proficient rebounders is relatively trivial, the brilliance in the Knicks roster construction strategy is the way they structured the rest of the roster appropriately so they can identify players who complement the core without venturing into the 2nd apron. Dallas has a tough decision to make, you need these cheap contributors as you continue to build out around Coop. They like Ryan a lot (I wouldn’t hesitate to replace his slot with Cisse to be honest) and I don’t think they’re in a rush to trade their expirings. Cisse is worth retaining but is the cost of sweetening the pot for a team to take PJ/Gafford/Caleb Martin worth it overall?

There are objective benchmarks and conventions in both the basketball and film world, but our interpretations of the techniques and efficacy of directors and lead creators MUST be contextualized within the individuals unique playstyle/filmmaking approach.

Fox’s struggles vs the Wolves was preceded by another guard whose efficacy is similarly dependent on their star big, Jamal Murray Near career-low rim frequencies in the RS led to subpar offensive process vs the best drop big ever Murray could grift/get up 3s, Fox is in trouble.

Joe Johnson’s exceptional touch & feel at his position, plus his off-ball reps from his time PHX, enabled him to peak as the ideal complementary wing creator, the Khris Middleton of his era. He was robbed of his destiny as a huge piece of a championship team.

There’s a massive gap between my perception of Nate Ament and the teams that are valuing him as a T10 pick in this draft. The Nets & Bucks are setting themselves up to make the same exact mistakes that have led to their underwhelming draft performance in the last 5 years

Zaccharie Risacher received his 1st career DNP-CD tonight, the latest indication of the Hawks’ deprioritizing his involvement Here’s why the lineup data + my hand tracked data vehemently supports Quin Snyder’s decisions to reduce Zacch’s role as the playoffs loom

all of Cooper Flagg's Iso floater FGA from his league-leading efficiency on such shots (as the youngest player itl) his apparent ambidexterity/versatility in how he gets his floater off may prove to be a massive part of his game (and a helpful tool vs Wemby for years to come)

The gap between Podz’ perception & his IMPACT is the largest I’ve ever seen within a players’ own fanbase He’s consistently won his minutes by complementing Curry & positively impacting the possession battle, just to be met with constant unmerited vitriol by GSW fans!
