dokmo posted:I'm glad we went through this soul searching discussion about Kevin Love because it's something I've been thinking about a lot lately: the way we remember our predictions when we get them right and forget about the uncertainty we faced when making them. I'm looking through my predraft notes and I'm embarrassed by how low my success rate is. It may be helpful to have a prediction contest the next time a big trade happens so we can look back later and see exactly what we thought at the time and be humbled by how wrong we were (or gloat about how right we were). This would be different than just predicting wins or who makes the playoffs because there would be greater uncertainty, the main thing people forget. dokmo, I'm with you there 100% which is why I never post in prediction threads and always tell people to laugh at my history of bad NBA draft takes

One time I made Mario hezonja so good he averaged 29/5/6 and shot 48% from 3 and 97% from the line for a full season and he didn't make an all NBA team. I bet it was cause old American men were calling him a gay euro and saying he had family ties to the udba (preotectors of brave Yugoslav people from filthy internal enemies like ignorant Serb nationalist fascists, not an evil gang like America has!)

That being said "gang ties" are overblown to begin with and usually not that big of a deal If one has a diverse group of friends and go to public school in most places in southern CA they have "ties" by some of the definitions the media stretches to.

The third or fourth picture on Bretons Twitter at that time was of a beer he was drinking. instead of the common worker, automatons should replace sport journos imo

With Clint Capela out for 6 weeks, here's a chance for you to do some forecasting in an environment of uncertainty. With Capela in the starting lineup, the Rockets have had the #4 offense (adjusted for opponent—see http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2017_ratings.html), based on being probably the best pick and roll attack in the league. They are ranked #16 defense overall, with a decent pick and roll defense. Over the next six weeks, their opponents will average 107.0 ORTG, which is the 6th easiest, and their opponents will average 107.4 DRTG, which is the 4th hardest. They will play 11 games at home and 13 games on the road. Without their primary pick and roll big, what do you think will happen to the Rockets offense while playing against the 4th toughest schedule of defenses over that span? And without their only rim protector, what do you think will happen to their defense while playing against the 6th worst combined offenses over that span? I predict that the Rockets offense will be ranked between #6-#8 on January 31. I predict that their defense will fall apart, and drop to between #20-#24.

That's pretty much my prognosis. They can compensate for Capela being out offensively with all sorts of wacky small ball poo poo, as well as Nene as long as he remains healthy. They don't really have any bigs past that who can be trusted defensively. I wonder if they toss in Onuaku for a bit.

I'll put their record in this span to something to the tune of .500 during this run. I think Capela has been helping them paper over some big holes, and a regression was probably due anyhow.

All of them because the Blazers were playing bad defense even by their own terrible standards that night. Like I watched the entire first half and identified maybe 3 possessions where they even played defense at all.

My boy needs his confidence back Zach Lowe told this story on his podcast once how Malone basically said, "Don't expect Jokic to be the guy he was last year because when everyone's healthy he can't be", and it was so loving weird. Jokic is your best big man, so you don't play him because worse players are available? What? edit: quote:Lee Winfield’s teammates can still remember him coming to their homes in his Volkswagen van. It was the signal of the start of another trip for the Buffalo Braves in the early 1970s, back when N.B.A. players flew with the general public, washed their own uniforms and endured bone-crushing schedules. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/18/sports/basketball/nba-schedule-contract.html
