I could definitely seeing Jazz/Warriors going 6 or 7 games. Not hard to imagine stealing game 1 with the long layoff and no Kerr on the sidelines to get them focused.

dokmo posted:Humans are very good at detecting patterns, even when the patterns are generated from random data. Humans are also very good at coming up with explanations for why things occurred, even when there is no evidence to support one explanation over another. Combine these two things and you have sports journalism, or journalism in general. Anyone who can suppress these handicaps has a big edge. This is also a variation on conspiracy theory syndrome, which, I think we'll all agree, is where it's at

EvanTH posted:All the responses are saying "serves em right for turning leftist" and I have no idea what they're talking about? Are they just mixing up neoliberal corporate identity politics with leftism? Or were there broadcasters on at 6pm saying that the next time there's a lockout the teams need to be nationalized and removed from the hands of greedy rentier billionaires? Their highlight shows at this point are basically reposting all the top reddit videos so I don't really know what purpose the network serves. I think it's hard for people to realize or accept that they're the ones who have moved right, and ESPN has just stayed in the same place, thus appearing from their perspective to have moved left. It's still the same as it was ten years ago, a network with most people attempting to appear staunchly apolitical with maybe an outlier or two having a more openly left view.

Did anybody think he was going to be as good as he is? http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Paul-George-5688/ You can watch here But the consensus was that he was a wing prospect with unlimited potential, a super versatile player with long arms who could defend, pass, and shoot, but didn't yet have good handles and was skinny. Why teams took Ekpe udoh, evan turner, derrick favors, and Wesley johnson ahead of him, I don't know. I can understand Greg Monroe and Al Farouq Aminu picks. Maybe even Ekpe who showed a little bit before injuries ruined him totally. But Evan Turner and Derrick Favors, embarrassing. The long athletic athletic wing with at least one skill has a 50/50 chance of becoming really good, that's one of my draft rules.

Did anyone by chance .gif Westbrook's exasperated "god drat" after a particularly poor sequence by his teammates? I'd like to see the Jazz put up a fight against GS, but I'm not sure if they can even challenge them as much as Memphis did a couple years ago. The Jazz play great team defense that forces teams to take hero-ball shots, but that doesn't work so well against a team with Kevin Durant and Steph Curry. It's barely working against a team with Chris Paul doing a more efficient Russell Westbrook impersonation. Gobert's gonna have to be way better than he was last night on offense to give GS any trouble.

Does anyone think the Grizzlies can beat the Spurs? I said before that its such a warped mirror man matchup that I don't want to call it, what do you all think?

I dunno why you're bagging on Derrick Favors, he was one of the best players last year and was only hampered this year due to injury.
