Yup. A lot rumors that this might be the final season.

Dwight feeling compelled to be a traditional post player is one of the great shames of recent basketball history.

He may be the best example of the high school dude who wasn't ready for the NBA lifestyle mentally. He got rich and just ran around knocking up cheerleaders and making fart jokes and generally being your little brother's number one most shitheaded friend that you hate until everyone decided they'd rather be on a team headlined by Jameer Nelson.

He is missing everything on offense, but he probably already the best defender on the team

They're also running him at PG on offense a lot for some reason as well

Scoring 30 shooting <40% from the field but getting >10 points from the line should be named "The Harden" at this point if it isn't already.

30/<40%/10FTs is the AI/Kobe/Carmelo special:

code:

Player		Regular season/playoff games since 1984
Allen Iverson	50
Kobe Bryant	37
Carmelo Anthony	24

Lebron is gonna drop 55 on the Bulls tonight.

Look at that goddamn face. Look at it.

LBJ has taken the Cubs curse upon himself. He won't win a title again until 2124.

Paul Zuvella posted:

Yeah, the west is wide open at this point in the season and it's really, really interesting. There are serious flaws with all 3 of the top teams and the rockets could be better than their record implies.

The Rockets defense has been awful this year.

i remember my friend whose family was from Utah crying when Jordan put them away. looking back it's basically the correct response

All throughout the 1990s I remember watching the Bulls dominate. I do remember talking with a Blazers fan circa 2002 and he went into a rage about Kevin Duckworth.

Perhaps the Cavs have chemistry issues

Libertine posted:

Might be some wild rear end speculation on my part but neither the Cavs nor Spurs have any issues at all and you guys are overreacting.

Tae posted:

Its 5 months until the playoffs. The Cavs already don't give a poo poo.

They're showing signs of weakness. LBJ is looking weaker than ever and their D numbers are very mediocre.

Rick posted:

THey've almost exclusively played lottery teams, have zero wins against teams likely to be in the playoffs in the Western Conference, so just by virtue of being a contender that's going to inflate all their numbers. If their defensive numbers are solid as the sample size grows then all right but right now I trust my eyes over the numbers and conclude their defense is bad.

I think they'll be fine, but maybe not until the second round of the playoffs.

Heh. They've only played two games against your west playoff teams. We're almost 25% through the season.

It's funny. The Warriors are 5th right now in D FG% and many are saying their D is in BIG trouble.

He apparently had a great offensive game yesterday but I put the game on just as he was getting pulled due to it being a blowout.

I made fun of the people who saw him in college and thought he could be a pro PG and I think I still might be right but depending on what kind of night Huertas is having he's sometimes the only option now.

Here's a fun thing to watch out for

The Magic and Hawks are a couple games off from each other on records

The Hawks are a couple spots better at defense than the Magic

They are also a couple spots better at offense than the Magic

Congrats Hawks, you are a slightly better team than the magic who start 4 bigs and have no shooting
