The NBA is not rigging drafts, they gain nothing from it and lose everything if it were to come out. Not to mention the accounting firm they hire for it would never sign off on it for the same reason

Rigging it would imply that not only would the accounting firm sign off on it but the other teams in the league agreeing to reward Dan Gilbert for some reason. But nope stuff looks fishy and narratives are easy to write after the fact so something has gotta be up

Niwrad posted:I don't think any team is at 100% throughout the season. This idea that you're going to get 80+ games out of your starting 5 is unattainable. Other than ascribing a crazy amount of importance to Mike Dunleavy, I don't think any of these excuses are that outlandish? Even without injuries, once you take into account the fact that Rose is a shell of his former self thus far, the talent on this team starts drying up. Gasol and Butler have been the two constants, but Noah has legitimately taken a huge step backward from last year. Beyond Gibson you're relying on minimum salary short shooty guards, rookies/second year players and the corpse of Kirk Hinrich to come off the bench. They might not have been as good as they should have been even if they were relatively healthy, but they're also not talented enough to make up for a total lack of continuity. I think some roster rejiggering needs to be done for the team to reach its potential — the frontcourt isn't meshing well enough to justify the amount of talent they've concentrated there — but I also have a hard time calling them massive underachievers as-is.

Niwrad posted:Butler's 8th in minutes among SGs (has played more than Klay Thompson and Kyle Korver this year). Pau is 3rd in minutes among all big men. Noah will finish with around what most starting Centers play. They've had injuries but they aren't as bad as you're implying. Outside of Rose (who hasn't been good this year anyway), they've had their best players on the court. The Bulls' starters really haven't played that many games together.

Cool Buff Man posted:Bulls fans should stop being so obsessed with "if/when we get fully healthy" cuz that'll never happen for you or anyone, ding dongs No, but when you see stats like "Starters are 15-4" I think its ok to say "This season has been a disappointment but injuries had a lot to do with that" Noah's injury has been the most impactful by far, and is also the most worrisome since he is really important to the team.

Check yourselves. Christ. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) Mar 8, 2010 19:05 hahah, you guys are a bunch of kobe nut-riders. kobe is a piece of poo poo. also, as much as i hate iverson for being a thug gangsta bitch, i feel bad for him with his daughter situation. that could probably drive any man to gamble/drink hardcore. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) Apr 3, 2010 20:35 This could be the game Suns lose. Lol @ Andrew Bogut though, I hope he's done until next year. His rear end SO deserved that, fuckin' swinging around the rim like that. What a total shithead. Jokes on them though. Looks like fatigue has set in -- 5 games in 7 nights all on the road will do that though. Hopefully Dallas loses tonight, so we'll still be tied. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) Mar 23, 2010 17:29 It's relevant because I have a vast knowledge of PHX and the metro area (lived there for 22 years), close ties to a few communities, developed my professional career there, have family there, and I'm heavily involved w/ the music scene (yes, even long distance) and still visit once a month. Shut the gently caress up. You're so incredibly childish to be a oval office because I dislike certain bands. INTERNET RAGE.(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Belome posted:I hate watching free throws but it isn't like Harden has taken a historic amount of them. Is it just because he's a guard? I think because he's perceived to be a player that is only good because he can get fouls called. Pretty much everyone that has the top seasons of FTA or FTM are either hall of fame players or bad FT shooting big men(also hall of famers). Harden has legit skill but he's perceived to be a flopping and contact drawing machine. It doesn't help that he plays for Morey. He took more FT in 2012-13, he's just much better at making them this year. remember fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Apr 9, 2015 |

I'm pretty confident Harden will be a HoF player too.Belome posted:I hate watching free throws but it isn't like Harden has taken a historic amount of them. Is it just because he's a guard? He's a guard, he creates a lot of that contact himself rather than a big guy who is getting hacked. It's also different when its, like, MJ or Durant or LBJ who get fouled a lot because defenders just cannot handle them, so I think that's why its so notable. I dunno, its mostly just complaining about a guy because thats what people do who watch basketball.
