spurs go on a 36-6 run starting ath the 7 minute mark of the third

[ChumpDumper]

But we hear way too often "he isn't completely wrong after all"...

It means people can be wrong, completely wrong, and not completely wrong.

You were completely wrong on this simple matter of fact.

You can't change that.

[YGWHI]

You were completely wrong on this simple matter of fact.

You can't change that.

Do you think I want to change something here? I have legit questions that you didn't answer.

[YGWHI]

We're not talking about that.

Why not? We can talk about whatever we want.

I want to talk about why Parker doesn't recognize mismatches, you want to talk about I'm wrong.

Well...Why I'm wrong about Parker?

He passed the ball to LMA when he was guarded by Dudley? We have a deadly frontcourt to play small ball so why LMA didn't get the ball with that lineup?

If Pop said he wants to post Kawhi more and more, why he didn't get the ball in the post when Beal was on him there? Beal on Kawhi isn't a favorable mismatch for the Spurs?

I just want to know why.

Of course you want to change the fact you were completely wrong on a simple matter of fact. You will do your damndest to distract from that. -- but it won't change that you were completely wrong on a simple matter of fact.

Told ya.

lol losing your over a simple matter of fact you got completely wrong.

Just don't be so wrong next time -- is that so difficult for you to accept?

[YGWHI]

Of course you want to change the fact you were completely wrong on a simple matter of fact. You will do your damndest to distract from that.

I don't want to distract from nothing. My original post was about Parker's lack of ability to identify mismatches and still talking about it.

But it seems like you're a bit reluctant to talk about that. I wonder why...

losing your over a simple matter of fact you got completely wrong.

Don't get this...tbh.
You said if I was wrong on Kawhi numbers of shots in the first quarter of last game, then Parker ignoring LMA/Kawhi mismatches in the last two games...never happened?

I can't see how those facts are related...or they're related in ChumpDumb unambiguous way?

I just brought up how completely wrong you were on a simple matter of fact. All you had to do was accept it and move on. Yet, here you are, still butthurt about it.

You got one simple fact completely wrong.

You are still losing your over it.

Quit losing your over it. It wasn't a big deal until you made it a big deal.

Do you understand this?

[YGWHI]

You got one simple fact completely wrong.

So...I wasn't wrong about Parker didn't exploit mismatches or what?

Do you understand this?

NO. That's why I ask the same question over and over until I get a reasonable answer.

[spurraider21]

as long as he maintains his a fg% higher than 45

[SAGirl]

Parker's going to need to re-invent himself and that's not easy. He's a scoring point guard not a true playmaker, at this point of his career he doesn't have all the tools necesary to fill his new role.

I agree with you. Behind closed doors, he probably genuinely wants to reinvent himself, otherwise, hypocrisy would not fly with this group. He's just not able to so far. He has done something for so long in his career, that to now operate in a completely different state of mind is really a challenge. He misses things, call them opportunities. I do think he sees every opportunity for himself because that is his talent. He's now learning that the things he sees for himself don't always turn out like they used to, since he's lost speed, but that is beside the point. The point is that he now has to train himself to spot every opportunity available for others: every mismatch, every cut. That is not something he does naturally and we are in a jam at this point because we do need him to take care of the basketball. I would expect Pop to indeed clear the air in film session and hold him accountable.

ITT: People arguing semantics...smh

[MaNu4Tres]

They are both average teams, 7 or 8 seeds in the East(if they even make the playoffs)..Celtics won 40 games, last year, and didn't make any significant moves(although adding David Lee is probably a net negative)..

Wizards lost Pierce, didn't add anybody significant, and Gortat/Nene look like they can't move anymore.

Wizards improved by internal improvement w/ Beal & Porter. Plus, getting rid of Pierce's minutes and giving more minutes to Porter is +EV on both ends, especially on defense.

[ChumpDumper]

So...I wasn't wrong about Parker didn't exploit mismatches or what?

That's a matter of opinion.

NO. That's why I ask the same question over and over until I get a reasonable answer.

So you just want to hear something that will comfort you in your time of of being completely wrong.

I can't understand things for you. It's possible you are just incapable of understanding something so simple. You certainly couldn't get a simple fact right.

[YGWHI]

It's possible you are just incapable of understanding something so simple.

Starting to feel a bit misunderstood...

[ChumpDumper]

Starting to feel a bit misunderstood...

it's not my problem that you can't understand a simple concept. Good luck.

[YGWHI]

it's not my problem that you can't understand a simple concept.

Why not? You try to simplify a concept, which is not that simple. Sorry, but not everyone have to share your perceptions or your view.

Of course not. There is no requirement for you to be intelligent or to understand anyrhing.

PopcornMachine's game flows are a nice tool to look at runs like these:

The Hornets bench unit was just atrocious.
