I feel like if D’Anthony Melton, or any other defensibly competent modern era player, had a Freaky Friday moment and found themselves teleported onto the Showtime Lakers, he too would be in the basketball hall of fame right now.

Cooper was good, though. One of the best 3rd round picks ever.

maybe they just need to try harder…and yeah, at least they’re not quitters right…

who knows, maybe during that one thousandth and first minute it will all magically click for them…

or you know, just start mitch cuz it’s the playoffs and we need to get it together to start games…

Pretty much. The data is large on that unit and that lineup has played over 1000 minutes this season again and has a negative rating against good teams.

@ShaxNBA
The starting lineup has a 114 half-court offensive rating when KAT is defended by the center vs a 83 offensive rating when Hart is

The worse part is that everyone in NYK organization knows this shit like 18 months now but they don’t try to fix. Start Deuce, Shamet or my favorite Mitch Robinson (actually improves the loss of rebounding) instead of Josh Hart.

Unless, this the secret weapon type moved being saved for playoffs…

Unfortunately Raptors had a snow ball’s chance in hell of winning at Boston today.

Yeah, for sure everyone who watched those teams knew how good Coop was. There were some great 6th men in that era…Coop, McHale (although he started plenty), Vinnie and Eddie Johnson, and, talk about underrated, Ricky Pierce.

Coop was a winning, underrated, versatile player but doesn’t seem quite like a HOF guy to me. Dude could ball though.

Although I guess “in the Hall Of Fame” seems to cancel out my claim of “underrated.”
