100 they make it to the 2nd round?

It’s a joke Phil Ivey

Paul Pierce played in the wrong generation. I know this might be a hot take for some of you, but I see a lot of similarities between Luka and PP. Homie would've cooked in todays league. Reggie Miller/Ray Allen as well.

Good morning. **** Paul Pierce.

Good morning. **** Paul Pierce.

I love this song

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Good morning. **** Paul Pierce.

As a lifelong Knicks fan, I agree with this sentiment. But he was pretty solid throughout his career.

Seeing him play live is entertaining (at least for me). Homie played so slow, but was a bucket machine.

All 3 of those players are HOFers in their generations though They would cook in any era

I mean no offense to giannis, but it was a special mix of bad stuff happening. The bucks don’t get passed a healthy nets

Yall gottah stop making all these excuses.

But Dame is delusional as hell.

Of course, they would. That's why they're HoF'ers.

But look at the volume of 3's we're seeing in todays league. I didn't research this, but I'm guessing they probably attempted 2 or 4 3pta per game. In today's league , they would be taking closer to 7-8 3's/game. You don't think Ray Allen/Reggie Miller would've been explosive players today?

Similar logic is also applicable for Paul Pierce. He was heralded during his day, but playing high screen PnR, elevator screens and doors/motion offense would've been advantageous for PP. He also didn't have nearly the type of spacing most players have now. Modern day NBA caters to his game.

Every athlete getting props from Cruz on Twitter should hit him with the Deadspin (RIP) treatment.

 

[Based Jesus]

Modern day NBA caters to everyone that could score, even if they couldn't shoot 3s

why him??

 

[rbk93]

Don't think there's a better alternative.

 

[getback]

why him??

Doesn't he have a history with Pop? Played a handful of years in SA.

 

[Based Jesus]

Is there a more successful modern coach than Kerr?
4 rings as a player, 3 as a coach, helped revolutionize NBA offense, he's a worthy heir

His refusal to cooperate with health and safety protocols thus far has led some team executives to speculate the All-Star point guard is attempting to leverage a trade.

"He's just not acting like he loves this place and wants to be there," one assistant general manager said.

Multiple team officials B/R contacted mentioned the possibility of a Nets-76ers blockbuster that would swap Irving for the disgruntled Ben Simmons, citing a natural solution for the league's two buzziest controversies.
