Spacebump posted:Don't the Hawks also have bad marketing? Bad local marketing can really hurt a team. I remember in 06 when the (NOLA) Hornets used to market going to games to see visiting players. This was the Warriors not so long ago. Bob Fitzgerald (the cheesy homer half of the Dubs broadcast team) always got the job of enthusiastically announcing "Laker Packs" in their local tv/radio commercials. "Packs" were bundles of one or two desirable games with several other garbage games that presumably were hard to sell on their own. They weren't even pretending that the real draw was the home team. TBH it's not a bad marketing strategy if your team is bad and ownership doesn't care about making it good, which was the warriors under Chris Cohan.

Spacebump posted:Come on Bulls, pull the trigger on a Butler/Matthews + pick swap deal. The cool thing is, Paxson is aware that Jimmy is valuable and doesn't seem to want to give him up unless he gets blown away by an offer So we're stuck with a star that the front office doesn't want to build around, but won't commit to moving unless it's fair value!

Dejan Bimble posted:That's the real reason boxing is dying, people want an american heavyweight champion who knocks everyone out and they don't care about anything else. Knockouts sell. That's why Pacquiao Maywether was a huge fight, because Manny knocked so many people out, and Floyd was undefeated. Floyd waited for Manny to age out of his prime to fight him, like he did for so many other fighters. That's why he has a billion dollars and no obvious signs of CTE, he's the clever villain wrestler who points to his brain to emphasize his wits and craft are why he's defeating your strong and brave hero. Boxing is also insanely boring.

paxson forgetting how fred relates to his players by splicing movie clips into film sessions, which helps while he benches them and assigns minutes with literally no explanation e: it is bullshit that they are throwing fred under the bus since they hosed him with that roster, but man the dude cannot handle NBA players and it is clear they only won those two games in boston because rondo was coaching the team.

I thought they threw Jimmy under the bus more than Fred.

Tony Parker has been shooting 53% from 3 in the playoffs. He's been shooting well even when physically limited. If he does not play again this is a pretty nice game for him to go out on. His knee didn't move that much, so I'm cautiously optimistic about his ability to hang around the Spurs organization being bad, just not again this season.

Crazy Ted posted:39 points With that performance LBJ has joined the elite 700 NP playoff club. He should take the #1 spot from Kareem in the next 1-3 games (Kareem has been the leader since 1983 when he took the title from Julius Erving). Here's the top/bottom 15 scorers in NBA/ABA playoff history. code:Femur posted:like boxing seems dead, why? because it is in fact boring, i mean like anything else, there can be moments, but why is boxing not prominent today? We are not entertain by it to begin with. People don't respect boxing as much now because kids aren't allowed to fight as much. If all kids growing up had to do serious boxing in grade school I think they'd find boxing more entertaining. There's a TON of people walking around who've never been punched in the face a few times really hard. Get punched in the head a few times REALLY hard and people would respect a boxer getting punched 400 times to the head and knowing how to take a punch. Not likely as people are antsy even about football these days. Paul Zuvella posted:I've literally never understood why people: I would like to see all the fake tough guys throwing weak punches in the MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL go into the boxing ring against the real competition. Also, I would like to see a group of athletes from one sport migrate to another. Yes, I'd watch GSW vs. CLE on a hockey rink for a little. Of course the problem with boxing is that fighters can avoid certain guys in a variety of ways. Kind of like if GSW went to the 2016 finals and saw LBJ on the court and was like..."Yea, we'll just hold onto these rings another year...cancel the finals!"

That's just a consequence of the 10-point must system. Like imagine how different and weird basketball would be if we scored every quarter 10-9 based on composite performance (not just scoring, but defense, efficiency), and then went to the judges after a game. Of course in this analogy Dubs would win most games by KO
