    First rookie to score 40 pts since Blake in 2011. He was spectacular. As for the season he's avg. 15 pts before this 40 pt game so it's about to go up. He's been balling. Like a shooting guard version of Lillard imo, but he plays D.
    Reminds me of a young d wade with less playmaking ability.

    Quin Snyder's Offense Centered On 'Advantage Basketball' Concept
    NOV 28, 2017 10:50 AM

    Quin Snyder's offense centered on screens, cuts and drives is what he calls "advantage basketball."
    The system is intended on giving players a head start whenever they catch the ball.
    Snyder's first rule of advantage basketball is to never surrender your advantage. If they get a five-foot head start, they should expand it 10 feet before shooting or exchanging the baton.
    "You have to keep the advantage," said Rudy Gobert. "Punish them."
    Utah also runs a lot of catch-and-rolls to create additional space.
    The Jazz aren't necessarily unique in these concepts but they run it with more granular detail than other teams. Utah manages to maximize the talent of their offense by generating higher quality shots.

    that's a really good comparison. He's a potent scorer that's for sure.

    Quinn is smart as . However, he's got some real demons. He has that American psycho / serial killer vibe to him.
    What are you guys referring to? What demons? Has he had a hard life or problems with drugs?

    Dude looks like he's on a perpetual binge. It's worked for him though, I suppose.

    Typical. White coach's team is overachieving = credit to him. Black coach's team is overachieving = credit to players.

    Virtually all the hipster, nerdy Lowe wannabes criticized the McMillan hiring because he was old school. It's supposed to mean slow, ISO heavy and 3 phobic, but it's really code for played in the league and/or black. Without Turner, their projected best player, for 7 games, they sit a game over .500, 9th in pace, 10th in assist rate and 20th in 3s attempted. Funny, I've seen nary a feature on the job he's done . . . guess they're too busy pretending their favorite cadre of white coaches are geniuses who've reinvented the game.

    Probably true. But the replay also lacks context. Were the Suns down by 30 with 20 seconds left? It makes a little difference. But of greater interest is what will the Suns end up doing with Chandler this season? If he is a buyout, perhaps the Spurs could resurrect him as they did Boris.

    Kings have even been worse with him on the floor. An absolute train wreck. Wonder if there were any offers out there close to what the Kings offered...

    They were down two in the third. It was just complete indifference and laziness on the part of all those guys.

    Pitiful. But Boris looked about like that in Charlotte (but fatter) before he was cut and became a Spur... Thanks for the "context."

    Any team ostensibly can afford a buyout. Even if Chandler were only a one year rental, a 3-man rotation of LMA/Pau/Chandler would be sweet.

    I don't care. I still wish he would come back to SA. I bet he would be very good here again. And I have just about given up on Dijon. And then there's 50Mills...

    Wow, how can someone be blessed enough to be in the NBA and play like that? I’m surprised Brad Stevens wasn’t yelling “fight back!”. I’ve never seen a team give up like that in any sport where betting and point shaving wasn’t involved. Disgraceful.

    Chandler is going through the motions while collecting his last payday, however the young guys - Booker, Chriss, Ulis are a disgrace. Only Warren is trying to do something. It's a warning for everyone who wants tanking and rebuilding - drafting in the lottery is not a guarantee for anything.

    Not to excuse his play, but with the way Hill's situation played out, it was obvious he'd be devastated and miserable.

    Possible trades: Nuggets (Faried and Arthur), Magic, with Koufos (Biyombo, Augustin, Hezonja), Trail Blazers (Turner, Napier).

    People love to spout this cliché, as if anyone has said or inferred anything to the contrary. Reality is, it has been and will always be the best opportunity at getting an all-time great, which has generally proven to be the necessary starting point for championship teams.

    So true. It’s a complete cliché. Spurs got lucky that teams whiffed on Leonard and weren’t even bad enough to draft him without trading away Hill. And drafting late like the Spurs do usually means they’re taking (1) guys who will be solid rotation pieces but never great (the CoJo’s of the world) or (2) guys with flaws that caused them to drop that must be overcome. Slomo and White lacked NBA athleticism / speed, Murray was super raw and couldn't shoot, etc. And then there’s the stashes that have basically all been a disaster.

    Drafting in the lottery doesn’t guarantee anything. But gives you much better odds.

    Spurs C squad showed more heart and desire than that for sure.
