The forums just ate a big post I made  Must've been the thread title change.Time posted:Bizort made almost the exact same posts about Lebron when he was coming out too. And Dwight Howard and Steve Kerr being hired as GSW head coach. straight up brolic posted:I did it, I found my favorite Giannis post.  DeimosRising posted:His point is the players won't be pumped for a pick increase, that's just a young talented guy they have to compete with and who will probably not, in the life of the next contract, be a game changer. That's a huge incentive for owners and GMs, and fans, but not so much for players or even coaches, the only people you're actually trying to inspire. Give 'em money. I'm skeptical that even $$$ will be a big motivator for guys already rolling in money. Especially in June after 100+ games.

ex post facho posted:not arguing this either, its just that the way the modern nba and its playoff system works makes it almost impossible for a team that hasn't lucked into a generational talent to win its championship, which i dont believe is true of any other league It's more the nature of game of basketball itself than the NBA playoff system. MLB has the same system but it's a lot more unpredictable. What you're proposing does not make sense on many different levels. The owners would make a lot less $$$. There would be a tinge of humor if a team like the Warriors won 73 games and then had one bad game and lost to an 8 seed although it'd make the regular season seem really pointless. NFL has to do one game playoffs because the players would probably look like they'd come out of a war zone after three or four best of seven series. Lockback posted:If you want more parity, you need to tighten the cap and make it harder for teams that put together good teams via luck or intelligent management to keep them together. You can make arguments both ways for that, but overall I don't think there is a lot of pressure to make it harder to keep teams together. Even with all teams being perfectly equal your favorite team has a great 1 in 30 shot of winning the title. The desire for equality in sports is one of the more peculiar things. Especially considering equality in most facets, in all kinds of fields is basically and effectively a lie. It's only authentic in very abstract and idealistic theories. When someone wants equality we can distill that down to basically the desire that people want all players to be equal or have equal value players on their teams. But if there are thirty LBJs in the league then he's nothing special at all. He becomes just a normal rotation player. This isn't even getting into the aspect how people talk about "equality" only referring to positive/good things and excluding any negative/bad things. It'd be dire if every team had a Rose/Rondo backcourt. Also, if all teams were equal then the league would possibly stagnate and regress into a worse product. Every year we're witnessing evolution and improvement in team strategy and individual skill. Nobody remembers or even cares about the teams that went 41-41 or had SRS, MOV or SOS in the 0.0 range even though these teams exist. That's what parity would bring. Equality is a lie. Rick posted:Considering how weak the Warrior's schedule has been and the fact that they've lost most of their challenging games doesn't really make me feel like the talent is too concentrated with them. If they were blowing the Cavs and Spurs out every night I'd feel like maybe they were bad for the league but the Warriors are supposed to make bad teams look worse. They're basically #1 in both DRtg and ORtg right now. Zogo fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jan 8, 2017 |

The NHL is more predictable than the MLB and NFL but less so than the NBA. ex post facho posted:well yea that's my point. its a superstar driven league. if you're a fan of a team that doesn't have lebron/curry/popovich on it, you might as well just resign yourself for the next 8-10 years and hope that your team's management is smart enough to tank to the bottom shamelessly and still make the right decision on draft night. There are millions of people who don't know that. Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:8 teams. The Thunder made it in 2012 Nine teams.

Hokey, sentimental hogwash! Dejan Bimble posted:...and I'd like to see Reggie Jackson cremated on live tv ISIS does this. Salvor_Hardin posted:Proposal: In any situation where the ball is being inbounded, the game and shot clocks should always round up to 1 second if it is ever less. With the amount of stupid reviews at the end of the game it'd be a decent proposal to allow one FINAL shot (no more passes) after the buzzer goes off. Save everyone a lot of time and stop all this .4, .8, .5 BS with ten minute reviews. Dexo posted:http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2685425-bucher-buzz-league-sources-say-bulls-have-begun-shopping-jimmy-butler "League sources say the Bulls have been uncertain about building around Butler..."  As long as people keep attending games the Bulls will keep doing this. It's just like the Cubs.

Rick posted:It's really depressing to look at that Lakers chart and realize they only won two games over that stretch despite having double digit leads often in the second quarter of games. Generally, the first and third quarters are the important ones. What goes on in the second and fourth actually usually don't matter as much. Rick posted:Stat peoples, does anyone track the lead swings over games? I would be interested in using that for some theories. I also think it could possibly be more informative than final score. There's this thing: http://stats.inpredictable.com/nba/wpBox.php?season=2016&month=01&date=2017-01-06&gid=0021600550 Lockback posted:I am ok with this. Draymond is better offensively than Gobert by a fair bit and only a little behind defensively. I wouldn't start Draymond but I absolutely think he should be on the short list for all-star bench. In what way? Gobert has strong O numbers and also is the best shooting C in the whole league. kiimo posted:Also when Wilt came to retire his KU jersey when I was in college there were plenty of people who had no idea who he was.

My local cable provider no longer carries Pelican games so I cut the cord. Trying out the PlayStation Vue service free trial and it does carry the local Fox Sports regional station that shows Pels games, so I'm happy. $35 a month and I can stream from 5 devices at once, on phone, PS4, and browser. Quality is no worse than what I was used to; maybe slightly better. It also has some limited DVR capabilities.

Thank you for the website, Zogo. I will give it a whirl. EvanTH posted:Not to always be the "Melo Sucks!" guy but the play Zing fouled out on happened because Melo went to the rim with some utterly weak garbage rather than a kick out to an open three point shooter, got his lame rear end thoroughly blocked by Giannis which started a break that Zing had to defend, which he did, getting a block but crashing into someone else on the rebound. It's because he currently dresses like a 1918 California Rush Gold Miner (he should've stayed a Nugget) while playing basketball. He'll jump for joy if someone places a gold piece in his water pan before each quarter.
