Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

This Hawks-Bucks NBA Cup game is really good

Hawks are becoming a team I really want to avoid early in the playoffs

Why? Schroder doesn't fit their style of play. He is too ball dominant.

Darn. I got caught out by the early start time.

If I keep having to hear "Mama Said Knock You Out" every 5 minutes during TNT's coverage, i'm going to snap. What an obnoxious song.

Jalen Johnson is far too tight on Giannis defensively. Give him some room. Make him shoot jumpers. Don't give up easier driving lanes / off ball cutting lanes.

Giannis's block on Capela was insane.

They must be looking to trade for big incoming salary?.Butler?


I like Paul Reed. We don?t need him, he?d be duplicative of Queta, but he?s good back up center, 3rd or 4th big.

Paul Reed would be good for Indiana. They have a big man shortage. They got Thomas Bryant for a big bodied center. Paul Reed can give them a quick mobile center. Pick and choose depending on matchups.

Did you mean Miami or Indiana? Bryant plays for Miami, which could also use a center.  Indiana has some depth, but not particularly good depth.

Ouch. That is some bad shooting. They are a combined 13-47 after Q1. Both teams stinking it up.

Yeah for Indiana. Thomas Bryant isn't great. I like the dual options of T Bryant / P Reed because they offer different skill-sets allowing Indiana to pick and choose how they want to matchup.

I don't think Miami need a center. I like their big man depth with K-Love (offensive big) and their 1st round pick K Ware (athletic defensive big). I expect we'll see more of Ware as the season goes on as he gets better acclimated to the league. He has potential.
