I'm glad the Mavs are accepting doge coin and hope it continues to go up. I would like to get a lot of good Mavs tickets because of a meme crypto taking off.

There are four legit teams... Bucks, Nets, Suns, and Nuggets.

The Nets just lost to a Dallas team missing KP. Take them out and put the Clippers and Utah in.

It's a pointless conversation because there's no objective measurement of better, if you're throwing out teams at random.

The 4 seed in the east is the Ny Knicks. The 4 seed in the east is the Denver Nuggets. Two days ago, the Nuggets beat the Knicks so thoroughly that it was hardly a basketball game. And that's without 3 of their former top 5 guys. So what does best mean?

My instinct tells me that the finals will be Bucks Clippers, which means they'll both lose in the first round, but they seem like the 7 game series winning types.

The Bucks are 15-13 vs the West. The Jazz are 24-6 vs the East.

I think this season is wide open, and I think matchups are gonna determine a big role in who wins. Especially in the West.

I think the Clippers would fare better against the Jazz than the Lakers would. I think the Lakers would do better against the Nuggets and Suns than the Clippers would.

The East has no claim to being a better conference until their side of the playoff bracket doesn't including a team with a losing record.

Jazz also haven't won a meaningful game in a month. They live and die by Clarkson and his scoring has become kinda volatile as of late.

Euphronius is my favorite to win the PFZ/monkeu award this season.

I’m wondering what the numbers are for the argument about the value of a Russ DREB: what’s the orating of those possessions vs the rest of the team rebounding?

Actually, what would be the data source for that? I’ve been wanting to mess around with the data in a notebook and make some visualizations but I never know where I can get play data. I think I’d be willing to pay if it wasn’t too exorbitant.

Are you throwing in play-in teams into this equation because the Spurs are 3 games under. 500

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

if the Kings beat the Spurs tonight what are the odds that they get the 10 seed now that Zion is out? they've got two each against Memphis and OKC before ending with the Jazz, will they go 5-1 to close out the season or will they Kings it up? Will it matter if the Spurs last six are against the Blazers, Bucks, Nets, Knicks and Suns twice?

As an aside is there anywhere to get team stats when only played against fully healthy starting fives? Not sure where to begin that query, but with so many injuries it would be interesting to see.

If it’s your idea that a poster should be thrown into some monkeu like phantom zone because he dares to question whether that - while jokic obviously a top 10 player - maybe he isn’t the most valuable player in the league - I say look in the Mirror and question your dedication to the free pursuit of truth

I'm only counting real playoff teams (1-8 seed), not play in teams. I guess the play-in is going to force a change in not considering 9th and 10th playoff teams over time.
