Are they allowed an offseason or so to get up to speed with modern NBA practices? Do we travel back in time or forward in time to hold the match, and how does this affect the social lives during the downtime preparing for the game? ? Which team is awarded home-time advantage? Is it harder to teach the 80s Lakers to text, or more deprivation to keep the modern Warriors without smartphones or internet or advanced stats?

DeimosRising posted:Like can the Lakers abuse Curry by just posting up Magic 20 feet from the basket and letting him rear end bump him for the entire shot clock until he fouls out or gasses? Your other points are good, but Curry wouldn't be guarding Magic. Klay and Iggy would.

Ammanas posted:i think you're joking but SF is hilariously unsafe place to be in a lot of areas, people get murdered at golden gate park like a lot naive eV for a shot is just the point value times the team (or player's) percentage taking those shots. for the California Gun Shot Wounds a 3pt attempt is worth about 1.149 pts since they shot .383 from three this year. Modern post-play doesn't usually go above like .8 for a post possession, but um X x 2 = 1.149 X = .5745 You'd need to shoot a little better than 57.45% from two to match the Warriors three point shooting. Early 80s Lakers were around 51-53% from 2. This is "naive" because, among some other stuff, it doesn't account for fouls, which should supposedly be happening more frequently with 2p shots, and it doesn't account for the likelihood of a turnover which (I think?) decreases when you're not taking the ball into the post. The Warriors this year had a few hundred less Turnovers per season than the Showtime Lakers, although the Lakers played at a much higher pace and I don't immediately have per-possession numbers to compare them directly, but just glancing at it I don't think it works out in the Lakers' favor. But then again, basketball didn't have any Numbers back in the 80s so this might be an unfair discussion.

This isn't politics or the real world tho. Putin is a good guy in the sports universe because he bullied Robert Kraft and stole his superbowl ring quote:”I took out the ring and showed it to (Putin). And he put it on and he goes, `I can kill someone with this ring,”’ Kraft said, as quoted by the Post. ”I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out.” quote:Putin said at an economic forum Friday he didn’t remember Kraft or the ring. But ”if it is so valuable to him,” Putin would order a piece of jewelry of precious metal and stones be made for Kraft. Also he's pro-steroid like the rest of this forum

I feel like the 2001 Lakers could take some games. The 99 Spurs have a really good matchup and I'd give them a game, maybe two. The Warriors are going to smash every other team from that era or older.

Ammanas posted:i think you're joking but SF is hilariously unsafe place to be in a lot of areas, people get murdered at golden gate park like a lot Of course I was joking. It was a reference to the larger than usual percentage of the Indian diaspora living in the South Bay. With that said, I live a few blocks from Golden Gate Park. My kids go to school in the Haight. I wander Golden Gate Park all the time. It's perfectly fine here. Quite nice actually. SF has a big homeless problem, and a drug problem that is shared by all American cities, but it is far from "hilariously unsafe." There are about 50 homicides a year in San Francisco, and almost all of them occur in only 3 out of the 25 or so neighborhoods: the Tenderloin, the Inner Mission or Hunters Point. 50 homicides is a low figure for a very dense city of nearly 850,000 people (at least when measured on the violent American scale). That's quite a bit less than the total for other cities with equivalent populations like Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Columbus Ohio, and so forth. And that's your news of the day. Don't be scared of cities.

why does SF have such a bad homeless problem? I saw so many while I was there last week, more than I've seen in New York in basketball: what adjustments are the Cavs going to make tonight? at the beginning of Game 2 I saw that LeBron was running a pick and roll with Love which was interesting. JR definitely isn't going to see time the rest of the series, I think

My Point was prime kaj was more than some dim center who throws up bad post shots which inform most stats on post efficiency . He's a good offense on his own . That 2001 lakers squad would def give the warriors problems .

cougar cub posted:Obligatory "gently caress the old players bullshit". Amin's comment that it is really only a basketball phenomenon to poo poo on current players and it's true and pretty annoying. It used to be around the MLB more but then Ken Griffey Jr., Bo Jackson, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire killed it. All these guys hitting 600 foot HRs and doing gymnastics on the field ended a lot of it. So basically some guy will have to come along and start shooting 7/10 from halfcourt each game and then even all the old senile players will have to give it up. Rad Valtar posted:If they don't the Warriors are going to score 130 in the next two games and it will be an easy sweep. You can't run up and down with them when you have Kevin Love and TT you idiots. It would also help if TT and JR actually did anything at all. We need a TON of those 100 foot Kevin Love passes and TT needs trampoline jumping shoes. BWV posted:Role players, even on great teams, always play significantly better at home. Usually. Although Ryan Anderson at home.  Lockback posted:I mean, why not? You can't/don't want to rebuild yet you don't really have anyone developing, you're not a contender. Just stack the team with names and be fun & bad in the playoffs as a 6 seed. Rondo, Wade and Carmelo doesn't sound like a playoff team though.
