ask ko lang, if you were a gm to an nba team, have cap space, would you sign a player like christian wood..?
kasi nung binalewala sya ng pelicans, nglaro sa detroit at bumuka ang bulaklak (sa oppensa) binitan din ni troy weaver..

He is a serviceable player who can give you scoring punch off the bench. His salary needs to be commensurate to his skillset though. 12 to 18 minutes per game playing time.

The problem with Wood is that he rarely plays defense. He may get a block or two in a game but that is because of his height and wingspan but watch him play closely. He rarely can keep his man in front of him. He often misreads simple plays and blows his defensive assignments, He is a pick and roll liability....this is the play that will be employed against them again and again in the playoffs. If you give major playing time to someone like that then its the equivalent of playing 5-4 on defense. These are the obvious reasons a casual fan can see when the player is on the court. We do not know his type of character in the locker room or when coached.

The players that are worth the money and playing time are players that play two ways...defense and offense. There is a reason why he is on his 7th team in 8 years.

DAL is down by 12 against the Heat.

Watch how Jimmy Butler punishes them for their lack of defense.

the detroit pistons secured the top lottery odds.. yahoo..!!

Afaik, the bottom 3 teams have same odds for top pick. 13 percent for the bottom 3. Same lang.

The post season playoffs is slowly slipping away from DAL.....down 6 with 3 minutes to go.

synchro_01 · « **Reply #3697 on:** Apr 02, 2023 at 09:55 AM »

Bye bye DAL.

as expected..Butler killed them in the final 3 minutes. 5 straight points.

I don't think its him that's the issue. Mahusay na Coach si Kidd. It's the cast of players that they assembled.

Same deal with Vogel before. He was fired and replaced by Ham. 11 of those players that Vogel had in his final year with the Lakers isn't in the NBA anymore after that season. Pelinka gave him a flawed roster. Vogel was coaching a bunch of players that are not NBA caliber.

Trevor Ariza
Carmelo Anthony
DJ Augustin
Kent Bazemore
Avery Bradley
Darren Collison
Seiku Doumbouya
Wayne Ellington
Mac McClung
Rajon Rondo
Isiah Thomas

If you give Vogel the current Lakers lineup I'm pretty sure he will do a better job than Darvin Ham.

Same deal with Coach Kidd. He is currently coaching a flawed roster. Their roster is geared towards offense and that's about it.

Kanina halftime with MIA they were down by 12. The final 2 quarters palitan lang halos ng baskets yung 2 teams. DAL couldnt make a 10-15 point run because they couldn't get stops in succession.

yes sir, top buttom 3 will get 14% chance, but the detroit can't get lower than 5, un nga lang, mas malaki chance to get the 5th pick with 47.9%..

Matatalo pa ang Warriors sa Denver Nuggets minus Nikola Jokic.

These are obvious signs that the Warriors will not repeat this year.

If the Warriors lose, the Lakers will just be half a game of the 5th spot.

Yes. It helps also that the Lakers own the tie breaker against the Warriors so if they finish with an identical record then the Lakers will be seeded higher that GSW. Against the Clippers though they do not own the tie breaker. They need to finish with a better record than the LAC.

LAL and LAC will be on THU. The 2nd game of a back to back for the Lakers (UTA will be on Wed). The Lakers vs. Clippers game will be BIG.

Redemption for Westbrook perhaps? We will see.

Yeah, it's going to be messy in the WC when the regular season winds down this coming week, with several teams most likely ending up with the same win-loss record. Sakit nito if a team fails to make the play-in or fails to qualify outright to the playoffs as 6th seed because of the tiebreaker rules.

No games tomorrow to give way to the NCAA championship game.

Warriors remaining games: @home vs OKC, road games @ SAC and POR

LAL remaining games: road games @ UTA and LAC, @home vs PHO and UTA

LAC remaining games: @home vs LAL and POR, road game vs PHO

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins Expected Back in Action This Week

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins is nearing a return to the team and is expected to be back early this week. Wiggins, who has missed 22 consecutive games attending to a family matter, is expected to be back in the Bay Area as soon as the next 24 hours.

It is unclear how much Wiggins will play in the team's final three regular-season games, but his return would come with enough time to prepare for the play-in tournament and playoffs beginning next week. The Warriors are currently the sixth seed in the Western Conference.

According to Shams, Wiggins plans to attend their next game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The reason for his leave of absence since February is that his father, Mitchell Wiggins, has been dealing with a serious medical condition.

In other news, Shams also reports that the Dallas Mavericks are considering to shut down Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving for the remainder of what has turned out to be a disappointing season, to say the least. From Western Conference finalists to possibly missing out on even the play-in tournament.

It remains to be seen if Wiggins is even fit to play as he may not be working out during his absence while he was attending to his personal issues.

^^^ Feeling ko si Kidd might be axed but it is way too premature and unfair. He had the team positioned at #4 seed prior to the All Star Game AND they reached the WCF last year. It is when management tinkered with the roster that they plummeted down the standings.
