dokmo posted:Those numbers are only for the last 2 minutes of close games, and so are biased against good teams that tend to play more blowouts. I'm sure LeBron gets a billion missed calls during the rest of the game, just like every other physical player. Wouldn't this logic also make it biased against bad teams as they should be the ones getting blown out by the good teams?

Disillusionist posted:Unironic hot take: Spurs should lose out and get a decent pick. They're not winning a championship this year. I'd rather have the 14th pick than a first or second round exit. Leonard is going to comeback in time for the playoffs and this will lead to CP3 not making the conference playoffs again.

I really hope the team can build a good fanbase one day, catching games at New Orleans sports fans should not fret though. The golden age of Tulane Football is about to begin.

Paul Zuvella posted:If the Celtics were relying on Daniel Theis to win basketball games then they should really just pack up the season imo Hey man, one time Corey Brewer saved the Mavs in a playoff game and helped give them momentum to sweep the champs out. Random bench players can help in the playoffs. I don't know Boston's rotation well enough to know if he is one of their 8 best players but if so that could hurt.

Kibner posted:Tom already did that three years ago. True but there was some hope they could get back in the fold while he was alive. I have such mixed feelings about Benson. On one hand basketball in NOLA was saved by him. On the other, he seriously considered moving the Saints out of New Orleans after Katrina then later built a statue of himself for loyalty to the city. I guess it's foolish to hold something that ultimately didn't happen against him, however getting a statue of one's self rubs me the wrong way.

El Gallinero Gros posted:I feel like they'd have lost a lot of games 140-132 with that lineup, both are pretty bad defenders Depends who the rest of the lineup was. Dirk won a title with Jason Terry as his second option. (So if they had Shawn Marion and Tyson Chandler things would have been all right.) While Dirk was never a great defender, I think how bad he was is a little exaggerated. Then factor in his super efficient offense and it works. I don't think in hindsight it would have been as great of a pairing as I imagined a few years ago, then again an old rear end Dirk and Monta combo almost took out a Spurs team that went on to win a title so who knows.

He hates the Spurs cause the Spurs don’t leak him anything, he’s had it out for Lebron and the Lakers for similar reasons in the past irrc I trust Woj over a guy in the locker room who has interest in putting out the fire. Parker's story only makes it more likely Woj is right. Woj is also notorious for being the best at breaking NBA related news. There is no real evidence he "hates the Spurs" beyond deciding he must because a story doesn't make them look good. Is it possible he could be wrong? Yes. Do I think the chances of that are extremely high in this situation? No.

Who are considered the contenders this year by everyone here? I have Houston, Golden State, Toronto, and Cleveland. It's funny because I'm hesitant to put Toronto on but really those doubts should be on Cleveland. Hard to not put a LeBron James team on the contender list.

Imagine how lonely LaMelo would get if LiAngelo actually was picked in the 2nd round. Also, I found this bit of LaVar Ball's JBA league website to be hilarious. "There will be an All-Star Game, Playoffs and Finals. The entire Championship Team will win a new Mercedes, BMW, or Cadillac." I wonder if he would let LaMelo come back to play in that league. http://jbaleague.com/#toggle-id-2

Rooting for a lotto bound team has the added bonus of watching other lotto bound teams hoping they win. They never do. edit: Bron on playing with Wade again. "I always felt like it could happen again before our careers were done," James told ESPN. "Didn't know when. I never put a [timeline on it]. I just felt like it could happen to me. And I didn't know if it was going to be in Cleveland. I didn't know where the hell we were going to be. I just always felt it. When he was able to work out that buyout, man, it was like the intuition became the truth. That's all." http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22925960/a-chaotic-cleveland-cavaliers-stint-shake-lebron-james-dwyane-wade-friendship Read too much into that quote and you realize LeBron indirectly admits he has thought about leaving the Cavs. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Mar 27, 2018 |

Curry changed the game more than Magic, kids can't watch Magic and decide to grow into a giant point guard. That list stinks anyway, not having Dirk in the top 10 is absurd considering how he changed the game for big men.

zoux posted:If you click through they explain the stuff and also the list actually is the top 100 Dirk is still a top 10 game changer in the history of the league. I went to check the list to find him at 20. Since I have been watching the NBA close, no player has been changed their position's style more than Dirk. Steph is one of the closest to Dirk in amount of change they have caused within the league. He is changing the game a lot, much of that is inspired by Steve Nash but Curry is taking it to new heights. Steph can potentially change the game in a much greater way than Dirk due to his height.
