[Game] Kings @ Hawks - Thursday, Nov. 1 - 4:30 PDT

maybe more 80's he would be a HOF
Nah, way too many superstar caliber centers in the 80s. Early nineties was right in the sweet spot between when those guys started to decline, and Shaq took over. Around '91, it was pretty much Dream, Admiral, Ewing, and a bunch of stiffs. A handful of those coaches' selections that went to Tyrone Hill and Kevin Duckworth in the early 90s would probably have gone to a guy like Koufos.
 
The last time we saw a team with this kind of confidence in their own play that kept playing through their mistakes was 2006?
 
Our speed on the perimeter and ability to trap and cut off passing lanes is causing a huge amount of turnovers. Our big men aint too shabby either. Reminds me of how the Miami Heat used to play D with Bosh/Wade/Lebron

It would depend on if Kosta has the benefit of modern conditioning as he does now or if he were being trained by 80's-era chase a chicken around a yard and lift this sack of flour trainers.
 
WCS is at 0.3 blks per game. It really looks like he's not even trying sometimes on defense. he jumps from the foul line for dunks but refuses to jump on defense.

his rebounding is waaaaaay better this year but 0.3 blks is crazy bad
 
Atlanta gets defensive rebounds like they're trying to figure out in real time which one of them is going to do it. You sort of see 2-3 of them standing in a circle around the ball, watching it fall to the court and bounce back up, before one of them decides to pick it up, like they're trying to convince themselves that the ball doesn't have cooties, or something.
 
I simply cannot believe how many positives I'm seeing. And it's more than just the pace and offense. I'm seeing proper boxing out, proper passing, proper pick and roll execution, decent PnR defense... and that's just the technical stuff. ALL the intangibles are there.
