This makes coaching rumors from the past 15 years look reasonable instead of hot take theater. I can't believe this was posted, let alone believed. Have we forgot how SVG operates?
I think they will fair well enough during his absence and then get hot when he gets back into game shape. With a better bench he and the starters won't have to dig out of as many holes
The argument that they were an 8 seed and got swept in the playoffs (by the champs) is a lazy take. What you're missing is Tobias Harris only played 26 ish games for them last year and the bench was a dumpster fire outside of a resurgent Stanley Johnson once he got out of injury slump. Back up point guard and PF/C have been solidified, Stanley plays 3 positions and the other two back up shooting guards could have a break out year. All signs point to a larger jump. Yes the injury to Reggie is concerning but I would argue that could make them more dangerous down the stretch with fresher legs. No one in the east should scare anyone including the cavs who just inherited the Kardashian curse
This is spot on. As a parent of a 1 year old in 18-24 month clothing, I was going to say the same things! Expensive toys are a waste as well. My boy has more fun pulling wipes out of the box and playing with half empty water bottles. Papa bought him a little tikes hoop and he enjoys the occasional two hand slam as well.
The sleep commentary is what you will hear the most. People get carried away with it. My wife and I took 6 hour shifts the first week and a half. By a month she had him in his crib and he was only waking once or twice a night which really helped our sleep. But then again we had a trick baby, that baby that is so good it tricks you into number 2! Lol
There is value in that and I won't disagree. But to have a dominant rim protecting rebounder in my mind will always be more valuable, especially in the NBA. A great example, Michigan could use a great rim protector right now. Hides a lot of defensive deficiencies and breakdowns.
As a Piston player it's Ben. The stats are close. Ben 6.6 points per, 11.1 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, and 1.4 steals. Rodman at 8.8 points per, 11.5 rebounds, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 steals. Stats in my eyes are close. And you have to give the edge to Ben with the leadership and work ethic that carried that team to a Championship some would argue they had no business winning. He was the toughness in his error that is more comparable to Mahorn or Laimbeer.
I'm not advocating either way. But Adidas contract is expiring with the NBA in the next two years I believe and they have already informed the NBA that they will basically be walking away once it does. I'm not sure what's going on with them but this seems extremely odd not to go after a renewal for a league that just signed an insane TV contract.
