The Heat's offense is predicated on having the best player who ever lived consistently playing MVP-caliber ball, and the Spurs' offense works best when their specialized PG using his physical gifts to beat his man. Those are poor examples. The Heat offense can't be replicated, and the Spurs' offense relies on creating mismatches that simply would not be there in your ideal NBA.
Roy Hibbert looks completely lost guarding Boris Diaw. Did you see that three?
The Spurs don't need Parker to run their offence... it's pretty clear this year they were fine with Parker injured. They were not fine with Leonard or Green injured. Because they are my type of players.
Indiana cannot score precisely because their players are not versatile enough. If they had Diaw instead of Mahinmi they'd be better off. Hibbert, Mahinmi, Bynum? LOL a franchise that has no clue how the NBA works.
Phil Jackson understood that. Why do you think he started a 6-6 shooting guard as PG.
You could said Miami is the closest thing to your theory and they won 2 rings but that was very close. They lost against the Mavs and almost lost against the Spurs. They only won easily against Thunder, another team close to your theory. And they did this with the best player in the league and a lot of money. A small market team like Spurs would have a damn lot of trouble of building such a team.
Also, your team could easily be forced to take a lot of jumpshot and would have a lot of trouble defending in the paint.
Your team will profit of the lack of dominant big man in the league but every time they will face one he will dominates you, that's why Miami took the risk to sign Oden.
Bump. This is what happens when you play Duncan and Parker against length and mobility teams. Oh but see how Kawhi wasn't affected.
Update: nobody cares, still
Nope. This is what happen when thunderrefs.
Bump again. Duncan and Parker are useless in the new NBA. You need Chris Bosh as your center.
This lineup may work since it would be 7 vs 5
How is Duncan useless in the NBA when he could have been last years finals MVP if it had ended in that game 6? He dominated Memphis as well etc. This makes no sense, he dominated Bosh in those finals.
A lot of fans are delusional.. They don't watch basketball.. They watch certain players only..
Thats about the facts right now.
Till Pop happened and made sure he didn't get his Finals MVP trophy. Can you imagine what would have happened if Pop had actually let him play. TD would have made sure everybody was in their right spots defensively and in good rebounding position. He gets the rebound and they win. And there would be no what if's.
Wow.
If Duncan was in the game they put him in a pick and roll and he gets completely lost. Then the Heat get a wide open 3 instead of the contested shot LeBron took. Even then, Duncan would be out at the 3-point line and out of position for any rebound.
Nope. Tim's hands have a gravitational pull in clutch moments. Didn't you know that?
It's absurd that people are still acting like that was a coaching mistake when the Spurs lost Game Six of the Dallas series almost exclusively because Pop left Duncan in the game down the stretch.
They still got a fairly wide open 3 so it didn't make a difference. You're forgetting how well TD was playing that game. You think he wouldn't be motivated to make a defensive stop when the Spurs needed one? That's the on the fly coaching Pop sucks at.
Wow, someone smart for once!
I look at Pop's decision to bench Tim like a coach in (American) football choosing to go for it on a pivotal 4th down.Nope. Tim's hands have a gravitational pull in clutch moments. Didn't you know that?
I'll try for some more specific context. Your football team is up 3 on its own 40 yard line, 4th and inches, 1:45 left on the clock and your opponent has no timeouts (you have two). You also have one of the better goal-line offense packages. If you go for it and convert, 3 kneeldowns and the game is over. If you punt, the other team still has a lot of time to come back, albeit the length of the field. If you go for it and miss, they have to drive about 15 yards to get a chance to tie, but then you could get the ball back through judicious use of timeouts and have a chance to win in regulation.
C Embid 7ft, 7-5 wingspan
PF Noel 6-11, 7-4 wingspan
SF Grant 6-8, 7-3 wingspan
SG McDaniels 6-6, 6-11 wingspan
PG Williams 6-6, 6-7 wingspan
That is what I call length and athleticism. Teams will be scoring no more than 80 ppg against that lineup.
There is also no scoring threat out on the floor. You could pack the paint and make them jump shooters. They might not score 50 points.
Phoenix missed the boat by passing on Anderson. Imagine an Anderson/Green/Warren/Morris/Morris lineup? That's five 6-8 players who can each play multiple positions.
absolutely
I think that was sarcasm. At least I hope so.
ala 99 Spurs championship team(except from Avery)!
