IIRC Zogo typically posted it within the then-open NBA N/V thread. So the 2019 Off-season thread I reckon? Also, glad to see someone joined me in voting The Witness!

BWV posted:One time I got too drunk at a Christmas party and ended up telling a professional artist/professor why pop art is overrated and devoid of affect. He said that was a fine opinion to have, as not all art is for everyone. I then told him it wasn't an opinion but the actual Truth and that these wishy washy aesthetics were bullshit and a rip off of early Dada. I saw him at the same party a year later and he oddly avoided me. Took a couple of reads before my brain didn't auto-replace pop art with pop dog

Current Celtics are such a mixed bag of awesome and unlikable. I really hope these statements by Jaylen and Marcus and others are able to nudge some people towards equality. Anyways, under that tweet was this video which remains one of my fave moments of the past season: https://twitter.com/TheNBACentral/status/1317951516238618627?s=20

Declan MacManus posted:this is an interesting question Dejan Bimble posted:You're a genius. I was thinking about half of that. It's amazing how the NBA has so many dominoes that cascade into the future. Makes me wonder: what is the smallest (in terms of WS) "hypothetical domino" that would have caused a seismic talent and championship shift, where the domino was an FA choosing another option or an player staying healthier as per the Brooks example. Like, did some otherwise unremarkable player go scorching hot (like Jeremy Lin in NY) for a few weeks, propel their team into the playoffs and then upset some veteran team which prompted them to overhaul their roster and staff? Most recent example I can think of along these lines is from the NFL last year. I'm sure most know the details, but just in case: Miami began 0-7 and were in contention for Worst Team Ever while the Pats were cruising to another division title. Dolphins gel and pick up a few wins before the finale versus the then-2nd-seed Pats. Down a score with seconds to go they pulled off a remarkable multiple lateral TD to win, thus knocking the Pats down to 3rd and lifting the Chiefs into a bye. Instead of a week off resting on Wild Card weekend, New England slogs through an ugly game and loses to Tennessee. Brady's final throw is an pick-six. He signs in Tampa 2 months later. Tennessee then bumps off #1 Baltimore. This means K.C. can stay at Arrowhead for the conference championship. A potential 3-game gauntlet with 1, probably 2, road games became a pair of home games as heavy favorites, and all due to a plucky Dolphins squad and a fluke lateral play. Now that I think about it, this is pretty much exactly what SB Nation does with "Rewind" yeah. Stuff like what was the catalyst for Shaq leaving Orlando and whatnot?

Spacebump posted:Dion Waiters makes 3 of his missed shots in game 6 of the 2016 WFC. Strawberry Panda posted:Clippers history maybe completely different if Josh Smith and Corey Brewer don't rain down all those 3s against them. And depending on how they fair against GSW, that dynasty may have never gotten started. These two are quite good. The performance of a few notable-but-not-star players in a particular quarter dramatically altered the trajectories of the rosters and results of the top half of the Western Conference. That being said, made/missed shots aren't under the control of the player, whereas Strawberry Panda posted:The biggest domino is Anthony Carter. This is a phenomenal tiny domino => long series of massive dominoes scenario. Thanks for the knowledge Strawberry. =)

Run the Summer games in 2022, 26, etc. Winter shifts as well, and other events follow suit. Trying to shorten gaps and squeeze things in to "resume the original plan" will only end in financial and health disasters.

Pretty sure he (via his many enterprises) was cutting staff and benefits and whatnot as early as mid-March. A lot of scummy stuff came out in bits and pieces over the summer.

Was Campazzo unable to come over before now due to a Euro contract? Cause 2020 is an odd year to move to the US.

Watching Curry evolve and develop and then truly break out during the first Kerr year was fantastic to watch. Even 2015-6 was alright, they were dominant throughout the season but the 73-win chase was intriguing and they had some thrilling close games like the OT win vs OKC with Curry hitting a 38-footer. But eventually the accumulation of what others already mentioned, plus general Warriors fatigue, plus Draymond's nut-seeking kickouts, and especially the oblivious ownership (goddamn remember when they broke ground on the new arena, what a shitshow) made it unpleasant to root for Curry. Klay and Kerr still own though, it's really awful that they had to suffer the worst injuries and surgeries of the whole crew.

Didn't know the Pippen family tree so on first read I figured Larsa was Scottie's daughter. Going back after reading your comments and clicking through was quite the reveal, dang.Zogo posted:It's December and the NBA is supposed to start in three weeks. So it's time for the 2021 poll:  Zogo would it be possible for you to send me last year's poll and my submission (can be via PM so as not to spam this thread)? No rush, just curious to see how I pulled off a good score, I think I filled it out while tipsy-walking home from a post-frisbee pub outing haha.

If it can be rewritten so McClane isn't a cop (or at worst an outcast cop, former Internal Affairs sort of position) then give me Metta World Peace vs Hans Grüber
