I don't get the love for Hubie Brown. He's horrible - everything he says is obvious and meaningless. "Ok, look, look right here, he dribbles left and then, see, he goes up and, right here, he shoots the ball, you see, that's how you do it...." Horrible. Also surprised that there has been no mention of Bob Fitzgerald in the bad announcer discussion. The Warriors have a great geriatric color guy in Jim Barnett who actually teaches you things. Fitzgerald the Fat Hobbit is the play by play guy, and he sucks. Not only is a homer but is the worst kind of homer because he's boring. And whenever the camera cuts to him it looks like he's about to pass out because the collar on his shirt is two inches too small for his fat neck. And you wish he would pass out but sadly he never does.

straight up brolic posted:B2B to Denver is basically impossible. Would be a huge win for GSW tbh That B2B is ridiculous. You land in Denver at like 4 am, and the Denver airport is like 40 miles from downtown. Between stuff like that and the massive altitude advantage, it's amazing to me that Denver doesn't go 38-3 at home every year.

AggressivelyStupid posted:They sure shut down the mighty pacers The warriors defense was really good tonight. Indiana shot 41 percent and had 13'shots blocked and were run off the 3 point line all night The pacers got 100 points because of the frenetic pace of the game and because they went 33 of 35 from the free throw line, not because of any bad defense

Dejan Bimble posted:Out of curiosity and sadness that the next level of anatomy class is full at school Go to the class anyway. Talk to the professor after class and ask if you can be added to the class even though it is full. He or she will probably try to blow you off at first, but say that if necessary, you are willing to attend class and do the work until someone else drops out to make room for you. If you are persistent (and polite) the professor is likely to give in. I know several people who have done this at various colleges (including me - but that was a long time ago).

MOVIE MAJICK posted:Even though Westbrook always puts up crazy numbers, has lots of triple doubles, and makes crazy explosive plays, I never considered him as important to his team as other stars He's incredibly important to OKC. Too important, in fact. I'm one of those fans that values efficiency. To me right now, Harden is a much better player than Russ. Harden is the best player in the league outside of the ridiculous outlier King Lebron James. But Russ is everything for OKC, and the only reason that they are 6 games over .500.

Crazy Ted posted:Well given that Giannia grew up in Greece it's not entirely surprising that he didn't know who Kidd was unless he was following the NBA from an early age. Hell most of us were just kids when Kidd turned pro. I watched Kidd play when he was a high school junior in the SF pro am. I was sitting in the second row at old Kezar gym. I was like - who the hell is this kid schooling Tim Hardaway and Mitch Richmond out there? I'm old as dirt.

Time posted:No other league let's a player like Russ use 44% of possessions like that. Even the NFL has to have so much go right around a quarterback that it isn't close to equivalent. The "issue" is that with 5 guys on the court and 100 possessions for the sake of this argument, the best players come out ahead because it increases the sample size by so much more than Barry Bonds getting 5 at bats. Random chance doesn't the make the NFL or MLB a better or worse league, just more random *Imagines if 2004 Barry Bonds got to take every at-bat for a game* "Aaaand at the 7th inning stretch it's the Giants 67, the Dodgers 2. We'l be back after this commercial break"

Lockback posted:
I don't understand the Rockets OR the Raptors. How does either of them win so much? I thought I understood basketball. I understand the different reasons why other good teams win. The Warriors have great passers on offense and contest every shot on defense, the Cavs have Lebron and all those shooters and rebounders, the Celtics roll you with depth and perimeter defense, if the Grizzlies can force you to play their old school style, they will beat you, etc. I look at the roster for the Rockets and Raptors and even acknowledging the incredible talents of Harden and Low/rozen I don't see how either works to create a team that good. edit - I read everyone's subsequent posts explaining the Rockets' success and I still don't see it. Which is why I'm not in an NBA front office I guess. predicto fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Jan 11, 2017 |

tanglewood1420 posted:Who is the worst current NBA player that would be an All-Star if you sent them back in time to 1964? I think someone like Greg Monroe or CJ Miles would be a top five player in the league back then. JJ Barea would probably be an All-NBA guard. Javale McGee, if sent back to the simpler game of 1964, would be as good as Bill Russell was. I'm not kidding. e.f.b. predicto fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Jan 12, 2017 |

chunkles posted:Shane Battier used to not do end of quarter heaves because it would affect his FG% Tons of guys do that. They just hide it better, by taking an extra dribble so they get the heave off jusssssst after the buzzer. Curry may be the only one who legitimately does not give a drat. Seems like he takes about 5 times as many of those hail mary shots as anyone else.
