Re: Joker's your MVP again
Well-merited (after Embiid fell apart), but it's going to be hollow if they lose this series.

It's not exactly a puzzle.

Nope, pure bandwagon.
I actually live in the city whose team I root for. While you've likely never stopped foot in yours.

Or (the real explanation), my favorite teams are winners because I'm a winner and pretty cool person, and my sports teams winning makes me even more of a winner and cool guy by association.

Re: Ben Simmons at the Met Gala
It irks me how eager he is to draw attention to himself when he stinks at his craft and let a bunch of people down (even on things he could completely control).

Re: Rudy Gobert wins his 4th DPOY award
Madness posted a video of people afraid to take what seems like open layups when Wemby is near. I do not think an advanced defensive metric can track things like that. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, Bush. That type of interaction should eventually roll up into productive +/- data, since the...

Re: Havlicek steals it
I believe Russell hit a guide wire that was holding up the basket on the previous play, leading to what was at the time an automatic turnover. The funny thing is that the opposing coach and maybe even ref (IIRC) wanted to change the rule about an automatic turnover if it hit the wire before the game...

Re: Artman, do you see the difference between a real elite team and a mediocre one?
Oh, you mean exactly how the magic played the cavs the 3 games they won? Magic would have been the far better matchup. And magic beat the cavs without having to play great as well Keep bandwagoning faggot I've been a Celtics fan since Larry Bird's end-of-career, and a Wolves/Thunder fan since early...

Re: I hear this Anthony Edwards kid is a lot like Jordan...
TDK literally using Malone's most efficient year he ever had to "prove a point".....while picking Giannis' 6th most efficient year to compare it to. That's his "EXACT", "FACTUAL" data. :lol: I started the comparison. But the only point was to illustrate how quantity of...

Re: Isiah Thomas STILL has his foot on Jordone’s neck
And he 100 percent would have done the same thing to Larry Bird, if he had the leverage. Jordan resented going 1-3 against his chief rival in the playoffs, and deep down hated Bird for humiliating him 0-2 (0-6 in games) earlier in his career. 1-5 in the playoffs against his main playoff rivals. &quo...

1990: FTs: 76.4 2s: 48.8 3s: 33.1 3pt rate: 7.6 2023: FTs: 78.2 2s: 54.8 3s: 36.1 3pt rate: 38.7 The FG percentages being the same (47.6 vs. 47.5) reflects nothing more than more three-pointers being added to the denominator of FG percentage in 2024. That's literally it. You can have every single co...

Celtics waxed them by 25, and didn't even play that well for about half the game.

Re: I hear this Anthony Edwards kid is a lot like Jordan...
He wasn't a little more efficient, he was a lot more efficient, in a way that is completely muted by looking at strict FG percentage or even strict TS. The *nature* of efficiency was also different than what you implied (Giannis is actually better than Malone in dumb 2pt percentage, but is so bad on...

Re: Any playoff surprises yet.
Indeed, one of the things that sometimes get passed over is that raw, box score statlines that would have been seen as God-like, or at least super-exceptional in 1991 are seen as a "yeah that's nice I guess" shoulder shrug in 2024. 26/8/7 on 54 percent shooting is a borderline top 10 box s...

Re: I hear this Anthony Edwards kid is a lot like Jordan...
For basketball, X number of shots take in X minutes often connotes something different than the same quantity of shots taken in a more compressed period of time. Generally, the more shots taken in the same period of time (all else equal), the lower will be the quality of shot, etc... If Malone had p...
