The Spurs lost 60 games in 2023-24 and are going to the Finals.
-
The classic down 6 with over 40 seconds left and OKC can only shoot 3's. One of my biggest pet peeves in today's game.
-
It isn't silly. Developmental time is limited. Using it on a terrible skill is a waste of time and pretty stupid. I'm all for him improving his offensive game. But it has to be the three point shot. Or here is a crazy idea for a big man. Maybe learn a ****ing post move. Where is his up and under? Drop step? Baby hook?
-
Well, in 4 years he's shooting 35% from the midrange. Like I said, all day.
-
With a minute left in the 3rd quarter, the Thunder starters not named SGA have a combined 14 points.
-
He shoots less than 3 a game so it's not a big deal. But he is one of the best at it, shooting 49%.
-
It isn't the enemy of the good. It's the enemy of the bad, even terrible. Not only will teams not care if he shoots it, they will encourage it. Teams score over 1 point per possession, they would love if Duren is taking shots where he will shoot in the low 40's and score .8 per shot. That is a huge w in for any defense.

How many elbows does that french **** have to throw before someone beats his ass

Never mind. Dort is a free agent this summer.

How fast is OKC trading Lu Dort if they lose tonight?

Ausar Thompson Makes 1st Team All Defense
Deleterious replied to Deleterious's topic in Detroit Pistons
The three votes who put Duren on the 1st team. Frank Isola - Sirius XM NBA Radio Gary Washburn - Boston Globe annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Stephen A. Smith - ESPN None of the three had Ausar on their first team. Isola and Washburn didn't have Ausar on their second team either. https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2026/05/2025-26-Kia-NBA-All-Defensive-Team-Voter-Selections.pdf- 9 replies

Average point per shot mid-range - 0.835 Average point per shot 3 point attempts - 1.078

Wouldn't that be something? Hey Jalen, here's a bucket full of money. Now go learn the worst shot on the floor. League avg FG% from the mid-range this season was 41.6%. At that rate Duren would have to shoot >28% from three to get the same points per shot. That assumes Duren could even get to league average. He should be working on his three point shooting and totally ignore the mid-range. Mid-range shots attempted this season. Just over 22,000. Three pointers attempted. Just over 90,000.
-
$25 million. If he hits $30 million you have to trade Thompson, and it has to be done this summer. You can't have your 4th and 5th starter eating up 40% of your cap when they can't score 20 points combined.
-
He spent last summer working on a 3PT shot then got hurt 5 games into the season. If he develops that 3PT shot this is good value combined with his good defense. Still, quite a bit of money for a guy who hasn't proven that shot and isn't the most durable.
-
Mitchell and Jalen Williams both out tonight for OKC.

Stretching a contract is one of my red flags for terrible management.

Oracle. It probably won't totally disappear like Lehman did. But if things go south for AI Oracle will look like a very different company, possibly even bought by someone else. They have taken on over $35 billion in debt in this FY alone. They are up over $100 billion total now. They have pretty hitched their wagon to OpenAI by providing them with cloud service. If OpenAI goes belly up, things will get very interesting for Oracle.

Isn't that why Musk did all the arm twisting to get all the rules changed? Instead of the index funds buying SpaceX in 12-18 months like normal, they will be buying it 15 days after its listed. At a $1.5 trillion market cap that is going to be a massive buy and will artificially prop up the price.
-
Pretty skeptical that is legit.
-
I'm not sure this guy is UPS material.
-
Yep. Not quite sure when the other one was, but it was after the new year.
-
It's that time of year again. Where NBA teams drastically overvalue big men.
