Carlosologist posted:In a Warriors/Rockets series, I think the matchup is so close because both teams are essentially even. GSW might have the advantage because of their experience playing together deep in the playoffs but man the Rockets are so good The Rockets have a junky D FG% relative to league average. It's always been the kiss of death for title teams. Although this team remains somewhat intriguing due to their having three of the top four WS/48 players right now. Their level of synergy is unprecedented in the annals of the NBA so they're an anomaly right now. OTOH, the Warriors are in that weird situation where they've won so much that it's becoming detrimental. Kerr has said their brains are fried. Winning every year becomes a burden.

Time posted:I went to probably 30 games that season and the discussion was always “why is he playing/ why don’t they give him some rest for his hip and ankle/ are they not seeing his noticeable limp” Sometimes old narratives and original assessments become increasingly erroneous as time goes on and in light of new evidence. As Carl Sagan once said, "Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves." You have an Hakeem avatar so I cannot fault you for putting him on a pedestal. Old narratives wash away like sand on the seashore. The stats do not. I let go of Bulls 1990s narratives a long time ago. If I didn't I'd still be praising Jordan as the GOAT and Pippen as the most versatile. The Lakers/Spurs only won titles in 1999-2002 because Jordan left the Bulls etc. Let the past die. Kill it...if you have to. I agree Thorpe was not prime Pippen but to call that team with Robert Horry and Otis Thorpe bad is an overstatement. Thorpe's stats in the playoffs don't reflect on a player who's been cooked, gassed, grilled, sautéed, fricasseed or any other cooking term superlatives! No single player surrounded by a team of badness can win a title no matter their power levels and abilities. 1960s Wilt proves this. R.D.

CRISPYBABY posted:It's weird. Usually I cheer for the Raptors emotionally and then have the intelligent part of my brain saying "eh it's probably not happening". This year the Raptors analytics are fantastic and the East is more open than it has been since Lebron went to Miami. By any reasonable analysis they're the favourites for coming out of the east. They simultaneously have a franchise best ORtg and DRtg (relative to league average) so far. And by far their highest SRS. RASHIBA WALLACE posted:That SRS factors in the whole season, I'd imagine. What's their SRS been over the past 12 games? I guess still close to 0.0 if their record is 6-6. Their MOV over the last dozen is 1.25 Their RC% is going to continue to decrease as the season closes out as well.

dokmo posted:There's some circularity in saying team x made the finals without a star, then saying they had player y who was really good. Y should have been a star but wasn't seen as such at the time—so did his team win because he was a secret star or did he become a star because his team won games and he was the best player on X? I've had this argument many times, which seems to be a clue that there's no one way to answer it. Both but in that instance it's a lot easier to peg him as a secret star in hindsight as he had six consecutive seasons of being within the top ten of WS/48 from 2003-2008. That puts him alone with Duncan (eight seasons), LBJ (ten seasons) and CP3 (eleven seasons) this century.

522 people have played in the NBA this year and there's still a month left. That shatters the previous high mark. It remains to be seen if this is the new norm or just an odd season. If this happens each year then the NBA is moving more toward the MLB with larger rosters and more random guys getting minutes as the season winds down before the playoff rosters are set. Here are isolated 2NP, 3NP and FTNP charts. I've marked ~a dozen notable good/bad seasons in each one. Now you can print them out and post them on your wall.    As you can see 1967 Wilt was the greatest 2P scorer ever and just a year later 1968 Wilt was the worst FT shooter ever. 2NP is a stat that shows how Wilt then Kareem then Barkley then Shaq and finally LBJ have dominated 2P scoring. And why everyone in the 1940s and 1950s didn't want to shoot the ball. Except for Joe Fulks who owns the worst five 2P shooting seasons all to himself. To dominate in FTNP one must go to the line a lot and also shoot ~80% or better. 2016 Curry might have the greatest 3P shooting season for a long, long time. More charts to come another day...

WhyteRyce posted:Coasting and losing interest and/or gas are two sides of the same coin There's some overlap but there's a decent amount of evidence that veteran teams can turn it way up in the playoffs. Those early 2000s Lakers teams come to mind. KD joining last year was a really unique booster shot to a team that'd won 73 the year prior. I can only imagine if the Bulls had added David Robinson or Shaq a season after winning 72 games. Although each successive year it's less likely that CLE and GSW will meet again. No teams had met in three straight finals before last year. Having them both do four straight would be  .PS KD is way taller than CP3.

WhyteRyce posted:Maybe in 02 but in 03 they were just gassed. 2012 Heat looked vulnerable but had a bunch of BS veteran shooting efforts out of no where saved up for the playoffs, the 2013 Heat didn't have anything extra to give. Point is it's hard to actually tell until after the fact if a veteran team is coasting but has one more burst left in them or just running in fumes WRT Lakers coasting I'm primarily talking about the 2001 team that won 56 games with an SRS of 3.74 and also ranked 21st of 29 teams in DRtg. The thing about the 2018 Warriors is that they've basically locked into the 2 seed with their two best players sitting out a lot and playing only ~3,700 minutes. A light load for the two best players on a team. Whereas, the gassed 2003 Lakers had Kobe/Shaq play nearly 6,000 minutes in the regular season to get a junky 5 seed. Then rather than importing new elite talent they imported old Karl and old Gary. As far as the 2012 and 2013 Heat it would be impossible to prove their elites were coasting much. LBJ almost reached 20 WS in 2013 and 15 WS in that shortened 2012 season. There are different kinds of coasting of course. This GSW team is more of the sit out and relax variety as Durant/Curry/Thompson have put up very elite aggregate numbers despite each missing a lot of time. Other coasting involves a player obviously dialing it way back like LBJ and others some years. History is against the Warriors in one regard in that the last time a team won three titles non-consecutively over a four year period was the 1966-1969 Celtics. But Durant remains the X factor.

He’s looked like who he always was when running a gimpy Warriors roster. If Green/Thompson/Curry all remain injured throughout the playoffs then I do believe GSW may be in trouble.

Gross mismanagement.RaySmuckles posted:i'm feeling lovely about the spurs' season...what do you guys think of this trade? kawhi for kemba walker, their 1st, and maybe hernagomez...anyway, just some venting. wondered what people would think of it The Spurs need to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnPvbfogeSI&t=102s it up.

Dejan Bimble posted:Toronto might be able to score with them, but I don't know who they have to throw at Lebron. I believe they'll let LBJ go crazy and put up gigantic stat lines. The problem is that the Cavaliers seem unable to stop any team from scoring. Still ranked 29th of 30 in DRtg this year. It wouldn't be a big deal if CLE had the greatest offense in NBA history or something but they don't. Tae posted:The warriors have been poo poo with durant as their best player. Like middling offense at best. Hypothetically, if Curry is out against HOU it could be worrisome. GSW had a 109.6 ORtg in sixteen games with Durant in and Curry out. Still better than average but not very strong. Although sixteen games isn't much to build a case on. No matter what happens I'd be surprised if Durant replicates his scoring production from last finals. He shattered the standard for finals scoring last year:  No minutes data for 1947-1954 and 1956 finals.

Bulls Bracket Madness: Will Derrick Rose or Michael Jordan be crowned champion? https://sports.yahoo.com/bulls-bracket-madness-derrick-rose-214448555.html Charlz Guybon posted:If he ages like Malone, his final stat line is going to be insane. 40k/11k/11k is not out of the question. If LBJ gets another 500-600 regular season games it'll be good. Tonight LBJ can tie MJJs 10+ points streak at 866 games. SamuraiFoochs posted:Holy poo poo the Warriors lost? How much more do the Rockets need to do to lock up the top seed? The Rockets have the #1 seed for good.

-James Harden TOVs are way down this year compared to last. -The NBA has the highest eFG% ever this year. -CP3 has been ranked within the top 8 of WS/48 for eleven consecutive seasons. Others to accomplish that (number of consecutive years): Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 1970-1983 (14) Oscar Robertson 1961-1971 (11) R.D.

Kevin Durant: I thought championship would fill void, but it didn’t https://sports.yahoo.com/kevin-durant-thought-championship-fill-011101963.html KD's going to need more rings and more bowing and more ego stroking.  Perhaps a three-peat will be the cure. CRISPYBABY posted:I'm honestly gonna be surprised if they don't get a phone call from Silver after last night's game. It was one of the most blatant "using lineups to maximise losing chance" I've ever seen. There is only one cure for pathological tanking. Abolish the lottery and stop rewarding mediocrity. Charlz Guybon posted:Eh...NBA hall of fame is too inclusive. Grant Hill was real good, but he wasn't in the same class as those two guys. Lost too much to injury. IMO only guys with 100 NBA/ABA WS should get in. It's a shame Grant Hill only reached 99.9 WS.
