When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Three team trade, Blazers receive David Nwaba, KCP and Frank Vogel, Lakers receive CJ, Rockets receive Stotts, Jason Kidd and a second round pick.

E: not necessarily a joke I would have started a page with but this is beyond my control.

A steal removes a possession from the other team (robbing them of an expected point) and gives you a possession (granting a point) not to mention that steals result in a better than average PPP because you are more likely to get a fast break/transition opportunity. So it's way more valuable than splitting free throws.

This is double counting, a steal ends a defensive possession just as though they had missed a shot or turned the ball over via a charge or traveling

Yes, getting a charge or guaranteeing a player will miss AND you'll secure the rebound are both really valuable too (more so than giving up your possession for split freethrows), with the steal having the advantage of having a higher PPP on the offensive possession.

It's not. Average team scores a bit more than a point per possession, 2 FTs uses a possesion so a team that does nothing but split free throws as their offense is the worst offense in the league. Half-court offense is a bit under a point so in that case splitting free throws is a positive, but not by much.

A steal removes a possession from the other team (robbing them of an expected point) and gives you a possession (granting a point) not to mention that steals result in a better than average PPP because you are more likely to get a fast break/transition opportunity. So it's way more valuable than splitting free throws.

Guys who shoot under 50% from the line are frequently fouled on purpose, to give you an idea on how little value there is to only splitting free throws.

This is more or less correct, but also why I weaseled in the whole "in a vacuum" thing.

In a vacuum, you don't have another possession.

I can't seem to find a CJ trade that doesn't come out negative for both teams in the calculator but this seems to be the best one that would actually help the Blazers get a defensive backcourt presence. Does take a remarkable amount of finagling to get around whatever salary matching algorithm the calculator has.

Important takeaway for me (a homer and moron)


A genius posted:

But before you dismiss this year’s team, consider: In the 22 games since Nurkic returned to the starting lineup after missing 10 weeks with a broken wrist, the Blazers are 17th in defense, first in offense and have the sixth-best net rating (5.1) in the NBA. That conference finals team ranked 16th in defense and third in offense.


Go blazers!

Curious if it's B.1.1.7 or B.1.351.

The B.1.351 variant is a little worrisome, especially if the clusterfuck that is India produces a variant with more mutations. At this point it seems that it will avoid humoral immunity pretty well in vitro ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7899476/ ), but it seems to not be as evasive in vivo ( https://science.thewire.in/health/studies-say-pfizer-vaccine-very-effective-against-b-1-1-7-b-1-351-variants/ ).

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

To Luka’s credit after the game Barkley asked if it gave him motivation to have Dirk and GWB in the audience and he responded saying how much Dirk being there meant to him as a Euro who watched him growing up and said nothing about Bush so I don’t think he’s super psyched to meet his war criminal hero in this picture
