Around the League - '23-24 Season

[kekgeek]

We need to hire the Bulls offensive coordinator. They do a great job of moving the ball from side to side, getting the defense to commit, and then finding open shots. It's something we really struggle with.

I don’t think we have the personnel to play like the bulls unfortunately. They have a ton of elite put pressure on the rim guys like White, Ayo, Caruso, Derozan is an elite iso scorer, Vucevic creates space (bad shooter this year), they are all really good passers also. They can continuously put presser on the rim for drive and kick.

While the wolves have Conley who does not put much pressure on the rim, Jaden has loose handles, Rudy pretty much only rolls, Kat can get sticky, Ant would fit in with the bulls style, Naz is a terrible passer when he drives (I can’t remember the exact stat but when Naz drives and it does not end in a shot attempt the turnover % is crazy high *he is an elite scorer though). I just don’t think the wolves have the personal to play like the Bulls offensively

Beautiful basketball tonight though

Your last sentence is the most important one. Almost every team looks unbeatable given the given night.

Remember, they were playing Atlanta, the 27th best defense in the league.

And, the Bulls don't do that every night. They ranked #19 on offense for the season.

The Lakers went all out to try and steal game 1 in Denver. 45 Minutes for Davis, and Lebron and DLO were over 40. The fact they still were beaten soundly doesn't bode well for a long series. Playoff DLO showed up on time and Denver was Denver.

Dlo was horrific in the 3rd specifically, maybe I'm just feeling charitable after a historic Wolves win, but I feel bad for him at this point

I'm really looking forward to the Dallas/Clippers games. Hope everyone is healthy and ready to go for that series. I'm not even sure who I'm rooting for yet. Probably Dallas??

So many of the series have a major injury. Its just ours and Lakers/Nuggets that seems to have full rosters.

Very true, although I would add Cavs/Magic to the full roster club.

And actually, we will have to see if our series is actually full roster. SloMo is a reserve, but an important part of the rotation, and we don't know if he plays Tuesday. But more significantly, Allen has a sprained ankle and his status might be more doubtful for Tuesday. He's a key part of their defense and outside shooting, and it really hurts them if he can't play.

Lakers just gave their best and it still wasn't enough. Hopefully for the Wolves sake, the Lakers can extend it an extra game.

I really hope we're not gonna be the first home team to lose.
