I've been periodically watching. Bullets were up 20. The Hawks out in their bench. Now it's a 3 point game.

Whitman gonna Whitman.

Whitman sucks but Budenholzer might be worse.

RoadDawg55 · May 2015

Bud's a very good coach.

allpurpleallgold · May 2015

Not sure what you're doing there. Because he won a bunch of regular season games? His team is underperforming in the playoffs. Whitman's teams over perform.

Christ. Bud's been a head coach for two seasons. Winning 60 with the Hawks was impressive.

Calling him overrated because he's down 2-1 in the 2nd round is FS. If Bud had a long career of failing in the playoffs I would agree, but he's in his 2nd year. I guess Steve Kerr sucks too.

Steve Kerr is in the west playing the Memphis Grizzlies. "Bud" is playing the Wizards. Minus John Wall.

Kerr also has a way better roster with a top 5 player.

Winning 60 in the East is NEVER impressive.

Winning 81 in the east would not be impressive.

You mean the ball hog aka John Wall who doesn't play a lick of Defense.

Man, you slurp up shoe commercial idols like it's the nectar.

When in reality it's called ball movement + better D= addition by subtraction.

I always wondered what Cowherd's handle here was. Now I know.

I have no idea how good of a defender Wall is, but most defensive statistics are shit.

James Harden was one of the bet defenders earlier this year according to stats. I would assume that is because he's always guarding the weakest perimeter threat.

allpurpleallgold · May 2015

Defensive metrics are flawed, for sure. But it's a pretty far jump from doesn't play any defense to best point guard defender by the metrics. I've literally never heard any serious NBA writer say that about Wall. Washington finished 5th in defensive effiency this year and that's actually a good stat. That is a miracle since Wall plays no defense and always guards the other teams point guard.

Even Harden tried on defense this year. You couldn't say he didn't play a lick of it.

Without looking into it at all, I'd guess Harden stacks up well because of his free throws. It's much easier to play defense off of free throws when you can set your defense than off normal offense. The stats back that up. Add a high steal number and you've cracked defensive metrics.

Bump

Hawks 74-73 with three minutes left

But why does the NBA suck?

It's been ugly, but the 4th has been entertaining.
