Interesting post season conference from Bird and Vogel. Bird said that he wants the team smaller and faster, and wants PG to play some at 4. Also fired a warning shot saying that Roy's role could be diminished, aka "don't pick up that option or you may be on the bench."

EvanTH posted:http://stats.nba.com/playtype/#!/isolation/?dir=1&sort=Poss&PT=team I agree with you. I just wanted to make it clear that not all who wander are lost, not all isos are wasted posessions, not all post ups are inefficient, not all bearded men have dead eyes and stiff arms.

The fact that the NBA straight up wouldn't allow the Pelicans to use black primary jerseys makes me think this is an early design that won't ever be worn in a game.

EvanTH posted:what would you say if I told you that I think all those people who aren't Thabeet are better than Perkins, who was getting 19.2mpg while OKC had a perfectly serviceable Ibaka, Adams and McGary mcgary started the year(his rookie year) hurt that is why he didn't get any of perks minutes. by putting ibaka at the 5 you are essentially either playing durant at the 4 which would be smart because he isn't strong enough to guard 4s for a long period of time or playing collison more minutes which i can see that agruement but i'm not sure how well he would play if he had to play a lot of minutes every game. adams was the starter this year so that took a lot of perks minutes away and last season he had a tendency to get in foul trouble quick.

I think Hibbert should not take his player option regardless, because there's going to be someone that's going to pay him near 100 mill in the open market.

You know exactly what they’re gonna do,” he says. “But James Harden is so good. That’s what analytics have begot. Right? Predictability. If you know what the percentages are, in the playoffs, you have time to counter them. Whether you’re good enough to do it is another question. Because they are very talented, and James Harden, I think, is the MVP. Because that’s not a very good team over there.”

I like this design. When the team moved to San Diego from Buffalo, it was named the Clippers because of the enormous Naval presence in San Diego. When they moved the team again to Los Angeles, somehow they just decided to never change the name or the branding for 30+ years. Since the Port of Los Angeles is best known for Container shipping, it makes sense that this new Clippers logo is basically LA-in-a-Container-Box. They could change the team name to the LA Containers.

I should have added... "continuing a time-honored tradition which had already extended a previous 25 years whereas teams moved to the region kept their same nautically themed names."

ISO o-rebound numbers might be low due to the fact that a lot of teams that use them heavily use them to control pace and go back on D rather than crash the boards. The good Kobe Lakers teams rebounded well because they weren't as focused on getting back on D,even though they were ISO heavy. Rick fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Apr 17, 2015 |

Roy is so emotionally weak that trolling him out of picking up the option may just work. I guess it only takes 1 dumb gm to promise him something though, so there is hope.
