Lockback posted:I think its also important that it doesn't really tell you who is BEST, but rather how the player is doing in his current role. Joel Embiid osn't playing huge minutes, so that probably helps his BPM, but the offense also runs through him to get him touches which is not optimal, so that probably hurts it. Yeah that's the key for me. Not "best" because we don't have a statistic for "best", but something like "what is the point-swing value a given player provides their team within the context of that team's system rated over 100 possessions?" And BBR's version (APM) has Giannis as the third highest rated player in the league this season: http://www.basketball-reference.com...#site_menu_link http://www.basketball-reference.com/about/bpm.html Does he get to win MIP or was his PER jumping to 27.0 at age 22 just what we all expected and the award goes to somebody more surprising?

Houston matched on Donatas. Doesn't say who they cut, but presumably Ennis or Brown (he's still on the roster??). e: They cut Bobby Brown. chunkles fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Dec 5, 2016 |

RPM has him 9th but spitting distance from 4th. Giannis would be a great pick this year so far. MIP usually likes to give it to guys who are getting to Super-Star level so Giannis fits that bill. DeRozan would be the other obvious pick.

MJ's seven straight triple-doubles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9vTN01SU6I Lockback posted:Matt Barnes might be a dickhead, but NYPD also has a long storied career of getting a hard-on going after black athletes in clubs so I am going to be cautious before casting a decision about this. Cool Buff Man posted:There's a video of him after the fight (which allegedly started cuz of the choke and involved a dude too) and DMC is in it yelling about how Matt really clocked the guy good so there's stupid poo poo going on at the very least Adam Silver needs to suspend DMC, Matt Barnes and Rondo ASAP. Also, force the Bulls to sign Hinrich and play him at least 15 MPG. MOVIE MAJICK posted:https://twitter.com/MarcJSpearsESPN/status/805812688613875712 He threw a towel at associate coach Jim Boylen. At this point I think the Bulls just signed Rondo as another short-term scapegoat. I mean they dump Rose with his awful shooting and then just had to go and pick up someone even worse. "Jimmy Butler was asked if this latest incident further damaged Rondo’s reputation around the league. […] “It doesn’t,” Butler said. “I don’t feel his reputation fits him at all. Rondo’s an incredible basketball player, friend, brother to me now, to us. I think we love him here. I think the fans love him as well, the organization, I think everyone has nothing but great things to say about him. I don’t see where that reputation came from at all.” Jimmy Butler suffering from some kind of amnesia/fugue state/concussion.  chunkles posted:Back to LAKERS chat every waking moment on ESPN.

I personally love that it doesn't mater who they bring in or how many times they get a new medical staff, the Pels have been constantly injured since CP3 messed up his knee in 2008.

Can anyone explain why the Spurs are the best defense in the league with Kawhi off the court but bad when he's on? I can't make heads or tails of it, he looks way lazier than normal but like he's still playing well.
