Noctone posted:Yeah the kinda low-key (but also kinda not so low-key) thing that really lost them the game last night was in the back half of the fourth quarter when Cleveland's transition defense was just lazy as gently caress and the Warriors were getting the kind of gimme buckets you'd expect to see in garbage time of a blowout. CLE has the worst transition D in the entire league. http://stats.nba.com/teams/transition/#!?sort=PPP&dir=1&Season=2016-17&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&PerMode=Totals&OD=defensive Time posted:Imo, it's been cool to see a team get as close to the asymptote of "perfect ball" as we are likely to see for a long time, maybe ever. I have enjoyed the playoffs for that reason alone, despite my team predictably getting bounced by the Evil Spurs The next generation of superteam should be superior. Panzeh posted:looks like tristan thompson is shook TT looks like a confused lumberjack. DeimosRising posted:I wonder what the next big innovation to get copied all over is, because I don't see any room for improvement on what we're seeing now over how the Warriors do it. Increasing 3P efficiency from farther distances by all players.

I have seen LBJ with his hands wide up in the air screaming for the ball and his teammates were oblivious. zoux posted:Does Donaghy have an ounce of credibility He has many ounces. His conjecture and demeanor is very similar to that of Jose Canseco whose name was dragged through the MLB mud until he was vindicated as a benevolent whistleblower.

Ammanas posted:I wonder if, when the news broke that KD was signing with the Warriors, LeBron felt that twinge of resignation, the realization another year of greatness was about to be stolen from him LBJ is about to be 3-5 in the finals. Excellent evidence concerning the erroneousness of finals records and the onerousness of some fans in referencing it. zoux posted:Are there certain fanbases that are demonstrably and objectively worse than others or are fans of losing teams just universally and equally sad sack whiners and winning teams smug pricks? Bulls fans are the most loyal and patient in this young century. Bigass Moth posted:Close, it was the Miami Heat LeBron team fans who were also Yankee, Patriot and Lakers fans. People leaving Finals games early in droves. 2013 Heat fans who left early and tried to get back in during game 6 should be banned for life like Donald Sterling!

Heat fans are actually really good. The worst fans are fans that care too much and take an entertainment property way too seriously. You would leave Game 6 early too if you ran out of coke and your team had a 1 percent chance of winning.

Zogo posted:Increasing 3P efficiency from farther distances by all players. I think that's silly. It's like saying the next big innovation is "having shaq" or "being lebron", we can't assume there is a significant reserve of people capable of doing that. "Be better at shooting" is not a coaching or strategy paradigm. The league hasn't even gotten any better at shooting 3s, they just shoot a lot more of them. The overall efficiency hasn't really budged, I dunno if anyone tracks average distance of threes and relative value but I don't think it can have changed much. As much as I like D'Antoni, I think his mutant version of his own offense is not going to overtake the more complicated versions already being run in GS and elsewhere, and it wouldn't really be a sea change if it did.

Lebron should buy an expansion team. It can be loosely based in New York and schedule home series across the country/UK. Expansion fee will be supported by Nike, Statefarm and McDonalds. Banana Boat Club (BBC for short  ) will rule forever

RaySmuckles posted:if watching so much basketball has taught me anything, its that its very hard to objectively assess anything in the NBA. It's hard to be objective by just watching. The numbers help a lot. Some counting stats are useful. System and coaches are overrated. We've seen a decade of people insulting Mike Brown and now look what he's done. Players are the underrated ones. People would be bowing down to Hoiberg right now on GSW.

Not everyone in the league will be doing it (league averages aren't primary when discussing innovation as it will take the league averages longer to climb) but you can be sure the best players will gather together once again in the 2020s and 2030s. I could see champion teams of the future where every single player was a legit 3P threat. Zaza and Livingston aren't going to launch a bunch this finals. More teams are improving their 3P shooting and taking it to new heights: code:D'Antoni has the right idea with the wrong personnel. Compare Draymond Green and Dennis Rodman.

zoux posted:Does Donaghy have an ounce of credibility I think Donaghy has gone off the deep end in a desperate attempt to sell books but there was a ton of shady poo poo going on in the NBA back then. At least one official was fixing games (likely two). There were weird grudges and guys like Ed Rush being allowed to referee. Stern brushed a lot of that under the rug when the Donaghy stuff came out (which should have been one of the biggest stories in NBA history) and they did clean up a lot of the nonsense. Although they are still scared to fire Scott Foster for some reason.

what sort of options does cleveland even have going forward? aren't they capped to hell and back? if this team is getting swept by GS how are they going to improve themselves? as for lebron going to LA, how could the Clippers even afford him? aren't they about to be (if not already) way over cap? if you're over the cap doesn't that mean you can't sign FAs? i secretly like the lebron to the spurs in 2018 rumors myself, but i don't think that's even remotely likely to happen, nor do i think the spurs would be interested in it. lebron is too dominant a personality to fit in a system that demands players shed their egos and do what they're told while being shouted at by pop. plus i think the spurs are trying to develop kawhi and having showtime lebron around might stunt his growth. on the other hand, if lebron intends on owning/running a team it might behoove him to go to SA and see how its done there. just a fun thought exercise. i doubt he ever leaves the east unless the cavs really are stuck at their ceiling and he gets tired of getting swept in the finals.
