Think Monty is still a huge outlier. Decent coach, maybe top 1/3 in the league even but to be near pop is crazy.

35% in a week is pretty good. I feel like from here we’ll see steady growth and continue building and when Reddit inevitably kills oldreddit we’ll get a big influx and be ready for it.

Damn 2/5 weeks back after this month long break are breaks :( though knowing oda they’ll be straight fire and worth it

At least it’s a team option for the 2nd year for brown so pretty low risk if it doesn’t work out too!

I like Dame and feel like if he had gone about this better he would’ve came out with minimal hate but waiting until after the grant deal, only wanting to be dealt to Miami, and now threatening to sit out is a bit much.

Like he’s earned a bit of choice in wanting to go to a contender with all he’s done for Portland but if you force yourself out this kind of way you burn up your goodwill pretty quick

Think Bruce brown was a great pickup to go with Hali, will definitely miss him on the nuggets. Think they make the playoffs baring any injuries and Hali has potential to make all nba in the coming years

Edit: Spelling

Yeah I think having a new coach is what they’re hoping will be the difference maker. I think if Giannis was healthy they would have made the ECF/Finals but don’t think they would’ve beat the nuggets with bud as coach.

Bud is a good regular season coach but has consistently struggled in the playoffs due to lack of adjustments. Outside the year they won (and sometimes even in that year) it felt like they never played up to their talent level

Yeah it was the one platform they were optimistic about.

Think they were right on the short term issues but we’re already starting to see apps developed and make the signup easier for less tech savvy people so I think we’ll see more and more come.

Also helps that Twitter and Reddit did their changes around the same time so more people are willing to move since others are as well.

Don’t think that’s quite enough but think your on the right track with OKC being the 3rd team. They’re already having the issue of having too many picks and herro matches the timeline they have so it makes sense for them to be involved.

Mark Jackson better be next. Literally would rather just not have announcers when he’s on.
