Much like Nick Young, Buddy Hield is fun to watch because he is not on your chosen team.

I'm happy with Buddy Hield's play but I think a lot of Kings fans are forgetting that Marcus Thornton came in on a late season trade and made us fall in love with his buckets too.

Does anyone else get nauseous when an NBA writer refers to a player as a "unicorn"? It's such a dumb loving term and doesn't even make sense.

I've heard the term a lot in podcasts, usually about potential elite two-way players but aren't good enough to be called superstars like Porzingis.

It's definitely a strange term since no players in the NBA are physically capable of being an extra female participant in a MFF threesome with a couple on a dating site.

Unicorn is a dumb tech term for someone who's way better at their job than you are at yours that you want to work for you so you can ride their coat tails to success.

Back in my day if you thought a player was cool and good you just wrote 1000 words comparing them to a postmodern thinker or the decline of late capitalism and not some generic mythical beast. The digital word is dying. Also it's dumb because the entire NBA is full of super unique awesome players who do cool poo poo all the time.

Agreed, but someone like Antetokounmpo, who can can take one dribble from half court and throw down a vicious windmill, is so unique that he stands out in a league full of the most freakishly athletic people in the world. Same with a 7'3 kid who is draining 30 footers after he throws down a put-back dunk over said freak athletes. RCarr fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Mar 28, 2017 |

Carlosologist posted:Joe Lacob is a weirdo even by Silicon Valley standards quote:The process works like this: After road games, players shower as normal and are given recovery smoothies that contain a fast-acting narcotic, synthesized from a species of poisonous blowfish. The drug works by blocking muscle receptors, thus paralyzing the subject while allowing him to stay more or less conscious. Players then enter their Cocoon. Each pod contains a feeding apparatus, virtual-reality goggles, and disposable stimulation sleeve. The pods are temperature controlled and loaded with individually tailored virtual scenarios that simulate partying on the road. There are simulations of nightclubs, dinner and drinks with friends, an Atlanta strip club tour, an evening at LIV with members of the Kardashian family, and so on. You've got to be loving kidding me. e: quote:JaVale McGee’s VR program includes a four-hour loop of the Charles Barkley–Shaquille O’Neal fight. Steph Curry’s allegedly includes ordering pizza at home by himself and playing Rory McIlroy PGA Tour on PlayStation. More proof that JaVale is cool and Curry is a dweeb.

What would Russell Westbrook have to do on top of averaging a triple double in order to be a definite lock for MVP. Because at this rate it seems like that might not be enough.

Be shooting a lot better (FG shooting on KD, LBJ or Curry's level) and be on a better team. RW needs five TDs in the last nine games to reach 42. Seems doable. Spacebump posted:As recent as 2008 I remember people saying Dirk would never win a title and the Mavs should trade him to another team to be a solid number 2. In 2011 the team's #2 went down and somehow they won the title. Don't give up until the team has been blown up. Maybe they will start to peak right as the playoffs come around. #2?

There's nothing special about hitting double digits. Harden's 29/8/11 vs Westbrook's 31/10/10 isn't incredibly different from each other from a production standpoint, but for some reason there is a huge golf between 8 rebounds and 10 in our minds. Harden is more efficient and leading a team that has a real shot at the WCF or beyond, and it isn't like his team has a bunch of star players on it. It's better than Westbrooks, but not monumentally. So, to answer you question, Westbrook probably has to have a better season than Harden is having to win MVP. Edit: Actually, I'd probably put Kawhi as my #1, but my post was just saying why "Triple Double" vs "Not Triple Double" isn't an automatic argument. I also think anyone who puts Harden, Westbrook, or Kawhi as their #1 can probably justify themselves pretty easily. Lockback fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Mar 28, 2017 |

The actual question today to think on: Is Anthony Davis starting to shed his injury curse? He's played 70 games already, which is 2 more than his previous highest, and there's 8 games left to go. Has he pulled off the Curry?

Random thought but the Rockets are a 3 seed team based on Ryan Anderson, Eric Gordon, and Nene all playing critical minutes. Did Leslie low key poach some Phoenix training staff or something?

The MVP vote is really easy, actually. If Russ promises to poo poo on kd for the length of his acceptance speech, he should be MVP. Else it defaults to LeBron.

If he maintained everything else (TDs in 50% of his games) he'd probably be having a top 5 season of the last forty years. RW is near the bottom of the league in FG shooting efficiency. Bottom five last time I checked.
