It seems Jimmy Pushups is already in trouble, though I doubt Garpax will fire him:
Sources say Boylen remains unpopular in the Chicago locker room, which isn’t surprising given that his tenure began with a near-mutiny over his grueling practices and formation of the much-derided “Leadership Committee.”

Re: NBA Thread
So if you were starting an NBA franchise today you taking Luka or Giannis? Or somebody else, maybe AD?

Re: NBA Thread
Luka, easily. He can impact the game in all the most important areas. Giannis will never be able to shoot enough and Large Idiot is just a big, which would be fine if it was 1985, but it's not.

Re: NBA Thread
I would take Giannis for his defensive impact, but it is close. They both have the "it" factor you are looking for in building a team. Plus, they don't the AAU miles of domestic players.4/5 wrote:So if you were starting an NBA franchise today you taking Luka or Giannis? Or somebody else, maybe AD?

Re: NBA Thread
Can he get his own shot in crunch time? I have my doubts. He'll just run in the lane and try and dunk. That will work sometimes I guessMonkey_Driven wrote:Are we really judging players based on game winning shots?verb_to_trust wrote:Name a Giannis game winner. Does one even exist?

Re: NBA Thread
They're both generational talents. I don't think there's a wrong answer. Luka is obviously more complete offensively but Giannis is and will continue to be much better defensively.
I think Giannis is probably the safer pick but man Luka's offensive game is just so pure.
I think I'd slightly lean towards Giannis for his two-way dominance.

Re: NBA Thread
Another crushing Bulls loss! I've honestly lost track of how many times Zach has botched the final shot of the game this season.

It's okay, last night was a chance for our other rookie to ball out. And Jimmy Buckets with that shot to force OT.verb_to_trust wrote:Herro to Zero
