For what it's worth, Howard was consistently great in the playoffs for Houston. Regular season was definitely a mixed bag, but he turned it on in the postseason.

drat it. DJ was the only clipper left that I didn't loathe. They should give the team back to Donald Sterling and bring back Matt Barnes, to go full scumbag. Who was the guy in the thread who asked if there was a team more hateable than the Warriors. The Clippers is the answer. The flopping, whining, cheapshotting, grimacing, trainer bullying (and then secretly firing), injury causing, led by lovely overrated nepotistic passive-aggressive endlessly complaining Doc Rivers Clippers is the team.

DeAndre's clip is making me think of context and editing and how it can affect perceptions. For instance the Kuleshov effect can be used to implant emotion on an otherwise neutral face: Is boozer amazed by a teammate's play?  Or is he horrified at seeing a man eaten alive?

In honor of the late Michael Goldberg, the Mavs coaching staff is wearing bow ties while they murder the Lakers. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18526989/michael-goldberg-led-national-basketball-coaches-association-37-years-dies edit: also https://twitter.com/dallasmavs/status/823297042503987200 Rick, I hope you didn't watch that game.

I think the team is ready for a Wiggins -> love trade. Unprotected Lakers pick MUCH more valuable than a top 3 protected pick. Bryan Colangelo was on last night and said he's thinking about trading for star, too.

 The WCF year was the only year Dwight was a positive for Houston, and he was great. He was definitely a net negative the other two. Speaking of defense, has anyone looked at root beer barrel's advanced stats? I feel like I've seen him improve a little bit this year, mostly on man defense. He actually had a good possession on Gasol last night. e: Jabari Parker benched for discussing a team meeting with the media.

The Nuggets are the 8th seed right now and I'd be excited to see them in the playoffs if they can make it there. I thought they were a couple of years away but they could actually be an alright matchup for the Warriors. Maybe even win a game at home

dokmo posted:Nobody should care about All stars because it's solely an opportunity for good players to risk injury or embarrassment with no possible benefit to the team. Old man rant over. Dunk contest determined by fan vote. Including retired players. Finally the MJ vs. LBJ vs. Julius Erving vs. Spud Webb dunk contest everyone wants to see. LBJ will go MIA. Quizzlefish posted:I am utterly stunned that the player vote ranked CJ McCollum so high. Higher than Chris Paul? That's insane and make me think that either players just don't like Chris Paul or that CJ is a very charming guy. As far as his shooting he's the third best backcourt shooter in the west behind Harden and Curry. Trash defense of course but that doesn't matter in the ASG. Lockback posted:Dwyane Wade will probably be in the all-star lineup and I am having a tough time figuring out enough guards that should go in front of him. Isaiah Thomas Kyle Lowry Giannis Antetokounmpo Kemba Walker DeMar DeRozan Bradley Beal Kyrie Irving John Wall Jeff Teague Goran Dragic Dennis Schroder Kentavious Caldwell-Pope There are more but I stopped after a dozen. Spacebump posted:Phone posting. I was reading a pregame story about tonight's Mavs game and Cuba said they still haven't decided if they are tanking or going for the 7-8 seeds.  Yes, Cuban, let's have Dirk get executed against the Warriors or Spurs.

euphronius posted:Does Boogie win you a finals as your best player? Broadly expanding this to "Does any center currently in the league win you a finals as your best player?" The answer is no. None of them have power levels high enough to do that especially in the current NBA climate (3P domination). None of these guys are like Shaq. Putting AD or Gobert on CLE this year would open up an interesting scenario but I doubt many would defer the "best player" title to them with LBJ on the team (even with strong stat evidence). Fast Luck posted:Cleveland won the #1 pick exactly when they needed to in order to acquire Love and bring LeBron back home. Pelicans won to get AD after the league did the Chris Paul shenanigans. Sixers finally win the #1 pick when they bow to the NBA's will and fire Hinkie and hire Colangelos. MAkes You THink. I'm ready to go back in time and return the Bulls stolen #1 pick from the 2008 draft and cash it in later. straight up brolic posted:lol the Kings traded Isaiah Thomas for Alex Oriakhi and a trade exception IT is still improving. His shooting this season has been nearly as good as Curry's. 2017 Curry is a junkyard dog compared to 2016 Curry but still it's top 5 level shooting. predicto posted:Yes I do. He's amazing and his energy level is second to none, maybe ever. Wilton Chamberlain. Hopefully RW can take every shot and get a 100 point game soon.

I thought they were a couple of years away but they could actually be an alright matchup for the Warriors. Maybe even win a game at home They are a bad matchup in the sense that they never could win the series. They play a similar running style to GS, but not nearly as well. So they might have one game where they hit 20 threes and get a bunch of offensive boards and pull it out, but it isn't going to happen more than once. Same as Portland. The teams that might beat GS in a series are the ones who can take GS out of its game and make it play their game, or disrupt them with their length in the passing lanes. The first group included the Spurs, Memphis, Utah, Boston, and of course the Cavs. The latter group includes Houston, Minnesota, and Milwaukee.

tanglewood1420 posted:Hell, as an example even Indiana with Paul George are a bit up in the air for me. Is Paul George an All-Star player? Of course yes he is truly excellent. He could be the second best player on a title winning team for sure, no doubt. But could he be the best player on a title winning team? Unless he somehow goes up a level unexpectedly in the next few seasons then I'd say no. Same goes for Toronto with Kyle Lowry. With George I'd be shocked. If CLE, SAS and GSW all sustain massive injuries then Lowry's in the driver's seat. tanglewood1420 posted:This is all assuming traditional cap dynamics of team building where it's not possible to get multiple max players on a team and have some kind of four headed monster of All-Star but not Super Duper Star players like Paul George, Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol, Gordon Hayward all on one team (and even then would that team beat GSW or the Cavs in a series?) . No. WhyteRyce posted:NBA ready guys like Elton Brand are trash. Better to trade up to high upside guys like Eddy Curry. LaMarcus Aldridge? Sorry I'm taking Tyrus Thomas 10 times out of 10.
