I hope the Lakers knock the Warriors out of the playoffs (slash playoff contention) for the next 100 years but nothing else ever comes of it, amen.

I still have faith in Carroll, but it's uh, lowering. If he can't turn it around by the new year I'm gonna have to have to retire from the fan club.

I think I'm going to buy a few tickets to the last home game for Dallas. I implore other Mavs fans to do the same. It wouldn't shock me if this is Dirk's last season. His injury likely takes him out of the 2 year hunt to pass Wilt in scoring. If he can't pass Wilt in scoring and the team doesn't look like a playoff threat, it'd make sense for Dirk to retire.

Van Exel/Eddie Jones two man game with Ceballos scoring 20 a game without a single play being ran for him was cool. But for me it's either the 15-1 season or Pau's second year.

I think the Warriors will be fine from a regular season perspective because they score so easily that if they can just not play bottom five defense they will win games. And I think last year showed that a team can basically only make three or four mistakes and lose to the Warriors in a playoff series despite outplaying them overall just because overwhelming offense is a powerful thing in the NBA.

What makes you say that Noel for Joseph thing is fake? It is known that Toronto has interest in Noel, that's been reported by several different guys over the last couple of months. It makes sense for Toronto to trade for him mid season too, since with Lowry opting out and certain to get the max and Pattterson and Sullinger both UFAs the only way they are going to be able to add bigman depth is if they're on the team and can be resigned. They won't be signing anyone in FA outside the midlevel.

Just a PSA to this thread, James Harden surrounded by actual good offensive players in D'Atoni's system is a beautiful sight. Like Nash back in the day. Be sure to catch a game soon, by this time next month Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson will be injured and Harden will be back to grinding out wins on the free throw line.

If Fraudulent 2015 Finals MVP Iggy continues to be cooked the Warriors are going to have serious challengers in the playoffs. There's only so many shots to be taken. Having the kind of defensive prowess they had in the past is hard to match - LAC and SAS are going to be extremely legit threats to them in the West alone. I don't see how they've improved their chances against the Cavs either. edit: Also this will probably look stupid in two or three months because it's the first couple weeks of the season. I don't care

Kevin Durant has scored 20+ points in seventy straight games. Not much of a consolation prize if the Warriors continue with trash defense and losing games though.Gobias Ind. posted:If the Raptors broadcast is to be believed, Demar DeRozan is the first player to score 30+ in his team's first 5 games since...Michael Jordan Yes, since 1964 these guys have done 30+ in each of the first five. code:code:ROFLburger posted:jesus the new NBA site is a piece of poo poo All major sports leagues are making their sites so hideous and hard to use so that people might considering turning their TVs on.

Marques Johnson seems mostly forgotten. Jordan stole his MJ nickname and 99.9% of people will think of Magic when they see the name "M. Johnson" on a stat sheet.Props Department posted:It's really sad that his wife was killed in OKC because they fired him for no good reason. But I guess there's no second guessing these things Basically yes. Although if we want to be cosmically thorough we have to acknowledge the theoretical possibility of something worse happening if he'd stayed. e.g. Everyday whole vanloads of people are killed by drunk drivers etc. A lot of people think they know the exact future. Nobody does. EvanTH posted:Zogoputer can you bring up the stats on roster continuity from one season to the next and how it seems to affect the performance of the best teams? thank you I've posted a lot of different RC stats so I'm not sure which ones you mean exactly. Generally, as RC% goes down the WP% goes down as well. Here's a list of champions and their RC%: code:

So I mentioned that the NBA as a whole are doing conference rematches really soon, and I don't really get it? Does it save money or something if the Wizards and Hawks play each other twice in a week if they go to each other's home? I understand if you're doing a semi-baseball thing where you play your 2 games against the Bucks at home in 3 days, but this is just weird.
