While we would have loved a Bucks/Jazz finals, once again we are an awful representation of the NBA fanbase.  after all the salt this whole year and people ready to bring a class action lawsuit against KD the truth is confirmed once again. People actually want to see superteams demolish the rest of the league. They don't want to see scrubs.Rick posted:Until the Bucks install a new offense even adding Lebron wouldn't be enough to get them to the Finals. I have faith. BWV posted:my worry is that now that more teams are "smart" the knuckleheads will always get cut or traded on the cheap and just be reigned in on the good teams. As the game improves all the weirdos will be removed and replaced with robots. MLB used to have a lot of strange people in it.

roundmidnight posted:Would that team beat the Warriors? Serious question. Yes, although LBJ/Gasol aren't getting any younger. Noctone posted:Let's just say hypothetically LeBron and CP3 signed one year vet min contracts with the Spurs just to spite the Warriors. Is there anything the NBA could do to stop it? The commissioner could step in and nix it like a dictator. RaySmuckles posted:i don't think you can say that GSW "tore through" the SAS defense this season. spurs took the regular season 2-1 and the spurs were up 23 when kawhi, the two time reigning DPOY went down. I meant this postseason. GSW averaged 125 points against the Spurs in the playoffs. Yea, they'd be better with Kawhi in there. The question is how much. Kawhi's injury did effectively corroborate he's their #1 guy despite all those misleading DRtg splits showing him as a D liability this year. And, misdirectomy posted:I agree with my Spurs bros that a Kawhi-led team would NEVER cough up a 20 point lead to the Warriors it's a 48 minute game.

It was a different time, before cold war 2 started because Russia objected to regime change operations in Ukraine and then Syria. It was a time before popular finance blogs were put on an official list of Russian propaganda dupes for criticizing Hillary Clinton and various foreign wars. It was a better time, french touch and electro house were keeping clubs across the world banging, Mark thecobrasnake Hunter was taking pics of LA's coolest club attendees and Yvan Rodic was doing the same in Europe. It was a far better time (2006) lol

WhyteRyce posted:Sometimes I wonder if so many people are in love with the idea of San Francisco that they purposely ignore all the bad stuff around the city Like I said, I live here. Right in the middle of it. Other than the horrific homeless problem (which is mostly runaways and junkies who come to SF from elsewhere) and the high cost of rent, there isn't that much "bad stuff" around this place. I feel perfectly safe being out after midnight in 90 percent of the City. I can't say that about any other American city I know except San Jose (which is safe but dull). My kids are fine wandering around, day or night. There is a poo poo-ton to do here, both high and low culture abound, it's absolutely beautiful, I can drive 10 minutes to walk my dog on the beach, the food is fantastic, the weather is always moderate. People are in love with SF for good reasons. Even the massive influx of tech-bros can't really kill the mojo.

The Ringer has something on the Lonzo Ball Lakers workout. Only this matters though:quote:As I was surveying the crowd, I heard a voice down the hallway marvel at the scene. “Man,” he said, “all y’all here to see Lonzo?” It was Lamar Odom. He was clad in Lakers workout gear. He looked good. On any other day, that might have been the story. But Wednesday, Odom was just like everyone else — trying to get a glimpse of Lonzo Ball and maybe talk to him for a while. I'm glad Lamar is doing better.

Curry/Durant put up the highest duo GmSc through two finals games since 1984 at least: https://sports.yahoo.com/news/kevin-durant-stephen-curry-thriving-143302795.html Lockback posted:We just forgetting Jimmy Butler then or? Wade was one of the worst FG shooters this season. Rondo was a bottom five overall shooter. Carmelo was better but he uses such a high volume that it isn't good. All three are veterans that may steal Butler's shots.

Carlosologist posted: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 because 1) the weather means that you never freeze or broil 2) it has a well-earned reputation for being tolerant and doesn't force them to leave 3) once they get here, there are enough support services like soup kitchens and wealthy people to panhandle that you can survive. It's a lovely life but you can survive. 4) the Grateful Dead, those loving assholes - they drew them here and then left them for us to clean up

EvanTH posted:Are the players from the past allowed to supplement their training regimens? 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:Does the sorcerer give each team a few weeks to gameplan? 1986 rules or 2017 rules? 1986 refs or 2017 refs? 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? Are there backcourt clear path fouls? Are moving screens getting called 80s style, because then the entire Warriors offense is barely going to work. Good news. 2017 Warriors win under all 4,096 of these scenarios!

I actually feel like they do call moving screens more than they did a couple years ago when all the Garnett-mentored Celtics alumni were running around setting picks everywhere. The worst thing about Asik sucking now is not getting to watch him absolutely loving destroy guys with screens

Zogo posted:Good news. 2017 Warriors win under all 4,096 of these scenarios! I agree, there's never been an offense even remotely as good as this one. It's unfair how easily and in how many ways they can score. Also literally every team in the pre-2000s era is poo poo at shooting the three so by virtue of that alone they would be barely competitive. That Magic thinks that the Showtime Lakers would sweep the 2017 Warriors is equally as laughable as virtually all of his other opinions on basketball. Maybe he knows something about time travel that we don't and he can convince Mychal Thompson to not father Klay Thompson.
