Lockback posted:wtf? That's just his regular face, officer. quote:The Warriors have a system of assigning rookies to veteran teammates, who serve as mentors. Mark Jackson, the Warriors coach when Green was drafted, linked the rookie with Jeremy Tyler, who had joined the team a year earlier in 2011. In many ways, Tyler and Green were opposites. Tyler, a 6-10 center, had been a basketball prodigy, ranked near the top of his recruiting class since he was in his early teens. Tyler skipped not only college, but also his senior year of high school to play two unfulfilling seasons overseas. Even though Green was a rookie in 2012-13, he was still older than Tyler. Mark Jackson, born leader. And “Cool story, Glenn“ never fails to make me smile. Jack's Flow fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Apr 8, 2015 |

It's hard to complain too much about twelve bucks for what you get but it sucks that they're gonna charge for something that's free now (or at least considering it).

This guy did an adjusted plus minus for coaches, which takes into account the players he had, and D'Antoni comes out at +1.3 on offense (which is 0.8 standard deviations above the mean) and -1.1 on defense (which is 0.4 SDs below the mean), which I think matches most people's overall impression of his career. Trivia: There is a coach whose offense is 3.3 SDs below the mean, which should probably not happen in a sample of 118. Who is he? (the data I think goes back into the 90s). Which coach has the best offensive rating? Never mind, it's Hornacek. The killer is this: which coaches have the 2nd best offensive rating? It's a tie. I would never have guess one, and the other I would have put substantial money on being among the worst. Best defenses are boring: Skiles, Thibodeau, SVG, Fratello. Worst defenses also boring, Kenny Natt, Frank Hamblen, Bob Weiss, Mike Dunlap.

Re: League Pass. As long as they make me subscribe to Cable in order to use League Pass they won't get any money from me. I would like to purchase their product and get it on broadband to whatever device, but I don't want to pay $70 per month for cable on top of that price when it's the only thing I want to watch.

I stopped subscribing because I was getting blacked out on all Lakers games last season despite living in the Bay Area. Warriors games all came through, but no Lakers games. EDIT: They've had league pass broadband since atleast 2008, and probably earlier. Speaking of TV, they do need to force the companies to actually broadcast the games in HD. During the trial period, I saw that there was only one HD feed for all of the league pass games, and everything else was in SD. What the gently caress, Comcast?

In Austin I was getting blacked out from Bulls games at my apartment. When I visit my hometown, I get blacked out from the Mavs, Spurs, Rockets, and Pelicans. Only the Mavs games are on local tv. (and if a Mavs game is broadcast on TXA21, you have no way of watching it through cable or league pass.) The blackouts and price difference are why I switched to ballstreams.

I find this analysis suspect. Mostly because it thinks offense/100 + defense/100 is combined/200. I also don't think I understand this at all. OKC is at like ~+5/100 in Brooks' tenure. Does that mean that team, with a zero coach, should be below .500?

Yeah I kind of stopped watching games on Ballstreams because games would just randomly quit and dump me back into the app. Or it would freeze for like 2 minutes before start playing again and then randomly skip all the way forward in the game and I'd miss a bunch of poo poo. I pretty much gave up ever trying to play an HD stream Plus having the app rely on 3rd party players on my phone is kind of cool I guess but I miss good built-in control options

Overall Ballstreams has been fine for me as well. I'm in the midwest, and I've had to switch servers quite a few times, but it takes a second for me to do and doesn't rub me the wrong way. I like the dual feed nature, because I like seeing the odd commercials in other areas. That said, if NBA streamed for just $30 more, and had dual streams with commercials, I would probably give it a go sometime. I only tried it once last season and it didn't seem really high resolution and when a commercial came on, it was a black screen. It's weird, I never thought I'd like to see commercials over just.. nothingness. $130 for the season with NBA doesn't seem that bad at all really.

I've definitely questioned on if I want to renew Ballstreams or not. Making .gifs of games is fun but my streams post ASB have either had poor quality (so they look bad) or buffer too much, and watching the Wolves is tough enough as it is. Playoffs is definitely a make or break for them.

I've had issues with live games too. It's a lot cheaper than League Pass International, but once my subscription runs out I'll probably switch back to that. Rarely had any issues with live streams and I like the time controls better on the NBA LPI player.

Although it was interesting to see a couple dudes on there rated decent who I always thought got raw deals. Numbers are always accurate, unless the guy made a mistake in his calculations, which I doubt. I suppose you mean, how relevant to a coach's ability are these numbers, and I say, some but not sure how much. They aren't worth nothing. The answer to the question: whose offense was the worst, given the players he had under him, is Kevin O'Neill, who took a team with prime Vince Carter and a rookie Chris Bosh, along with good side pieces, and turned them into the second worst offense in the league. O'Neill was -3.3—to give you an idea of how bad that was, Tim Floyd, who coached multiple seasons of the worst offense in the league, was second worst with -2.7. The answer to the question: who had the second best offense, was a tie between Sam Mitchell, who turned Kevin O'Neill's second worst offense into a top 10 offense, and Tony DiLeo, who coached one season in Philly with terrible offensive players (how bad? Iguodala was the best offensive player on that team) and forced them into the 19th best offense.

Because of this, pretty much every single Suns game is blacked out, because I live in a Cox service area. I don't subscribe to Cox, so I can't watch the game via my local provider, which is the entire reason that I want to subscribe to a broadband service like NBA Broadband or Ballstreams.
