Why would the Sixers/NBA not have him redo the line???

Because that would require effort and an intern did this probably.

Say what you will about Cuban (he's a good owner imo), but he's got a point. We've all mostly jumped on the Sixers bandwagon and deified Hinkie, but much like with how OKC built their Finals team a few years ago (ie lucky with draft picks), it's not a very repeatable process. I've always hated when fans look at their team and realize they won't reach the Finals this year so they think they should tank for draft picks. That's not to say you should sign a bunch of average vets every year just to field a respectable team, but if even 5 NBA teams did what the Sixers did, it would destroy the league pretty quickly.

Hot take, the kings over the last 13 years are way worse for the NBA than the 76ers have been or probably ever will be.

Atlanta is tanking as bad as the sixers ever did but I guess no one remembers Atlanta had a basketball team.

They were the 5th seed last year, the gently caress are you talking about

There is a difference between tanking and your team just getting bad because everyone decided to sign elsewhere.

Oh weird I didnt know basketball was a pissing match to see who tanks more between the lakers and the 76ers. Learn something new everyday

How much of Aaron Affolo's recent career can be attributed to being name dropped in that Kendrick song.

Dang, this makes me sad. Wish it was more accurate. The thread has more examples of why it isn't reliable:

Id imagine deflections are equally as unreliable. Even coming to a conclusion on what even should be counted as a deflection is really hard to come to.

Wasn't it 12 points inside 2 minutes?

I just looked it up. There was 1:22 left. So you're kind of really dumb. They'd need to miss EVERY free throw attempt and give up four threes in less than a minute and a half.

Its a playoff game and anything can happen.

The heat started unlikable and then reversed heel turned into a fun team around the time Lebron jumped over John Lucas for an ally oop.

The warriors were a fun, plunky upstart until they started touching everyone’s dicks, intentionally injuring peoples players and signed a dude that is a wannabe tech bro who likes to sniff farts.

A question I always have about this is if if these are only the PPP for the ball handler on pick and roll plays he finishes (with a shot, layup, ect) or if its the PPP on the entire play where he is the PnR ballhandler regardless of who shoots the shot

Lebron playing like (relative) poo poo was part of the Cavs problem in the mid part of the year so I dunno about that

But as they say "it's always Lebron"

He was shooting 50% from the field and averaging 24/7/7

e: that being said the MVP is so obviously James Harden and Im really confused why it is an argument.

If anyone from OKC is the MVP it is their best player.

Steven Adams.

I really like the Lowe post. The ringer does 5 a week (different shows every week) and they range from Terrible (Tuesday, Friday) to pretty good! (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday).

Woj's podcast is really good too.
