He's a combo forward that doesn't defend, create, or shoot remotely well on 3's.

I'm now very curious what happens with Donatas Motiejunas, because he's been Terrence Jones' eternal rival since Houston. The greatest story is him also going to China and pushing out Jones one last time.

someone made a basetball connect four and occurred to me that rondo would be worse at this than regular connect four because it involves shooting https://www.sbnation.com/2017/7/31/16073438/basketball-connect-four-is-as-awesome-as-you-think-it-sounds

My first takeaway from the Orlando Magic 30 for 30 is that Scott Skiles was a loving insufferable dick even in the 90s. And man and I loved that Rockets team, but they had so much less actual talent than the Magic. The mental game is real. I watched that in real time but was too young to understand I was watching Nick Anderson mentally break in real time and everyone else fell apart right behind him. Then, in a documentary that is celebrating the Orlando Magic, the owners and management still sound like loving idiots trying to defend lowballing Shaq. Also it sounded like I legit broke my stepdad's heart when he asked me what I thought about Ball and I told him.  His dad would've been talking about it on air for six months if he messed that up, a lot of pressure.

DeimosRising posted:3NP of 1 over five seasons sounds bad. Especially for a guy taking almost 3 a night. Ignoring his rookie season, where he was used very differently and was still adjusting to the league, in the last 4 years, among guys who have played at least 1 full season of games while taking 3 triples a night, he has the 31st lowest % out of 145 players. 26 3NP, comparable to Eric Bledsoe (19 3NP) and Rudy Gay (35 3NP) who have reputations as poor shooters, and he's absolutely being smoked by guys like Robert Covington and Carmelo Anthoy. You can tell me where he lands overall but as high volume three point shooters go he's among the worst. Not miserable, but below average. It does sounds like a very low number but it's better than 70%+ of the league. If we include the playoffs it jumps up to 9. You won't get me to say that Green is a great 3P shooter. I just wouldn't call average or slightly below average "bad." There are guys who've taken a lot more threes at a way worse percentage that fit into the bad range. Here are some bad 3P shooters since 2013 (regular and postseason): code:Then the great 3P guys. The dozen who've been a full three standard deviations above the field over the last five seasons: code:DeimosRising posted:It's called hyperbole Zogo. It's a human affectation, don't worry about it. What I mean is that because of a few memorable performances from 3 he is treated like a more dangerous shooter than he is. If you're going for hyperbole I'd go much bigger than that because 6for8 is within the realm of possibility and hyperbolic statements by definition are not. e.g. I'd say Green is likely to go 15for20. DeimosRising posted:But I bet almost no one would say he's a worse 3pt shooter than Anthony and Covington when objectively he is. Those people are confused. If somebody thinks Green > Carmelo from 3P range then they didn't watch the 2012 Olympics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxqQX2Do6Bw

Azathoth posted:Why it makes sense for the Cavs: If they don't get a starting caliber PG back in the trade, you're looking at either having Lebron running point all year or having Derrick Rose be your starting point guard. It's very unlikely LBJ will ever be forced into the one slot for a whole season. It'd be a misuse of talent. Ammanas posted:Yeah there's a huge difference between even late 80s kids and early 80s kids, they're wildly different and marketers lumping it all together is goofy (millennial now means born 1980-2017??) Millenial usually means early 1980s to early 2000s and after that is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z Gen Z is taking a lot of flak now because everyday there's a new story on the news about some Gen Z kid documenting their fatal car crash (and aftermath)/crime/robbery/shooting sprees/raping sprees because of their inability to put the phone down. This is only going to increase in the coming years. It will continue to horrify very old people who don't know how to use cellphones. Facebook live is a toilet horror show. Youtube is a cesspool. It'd be even worse if it weren't for the fact that current societies are too paranoid for Google glass.

Libertine posted:Probably because Derrick Rose isn't worth an NBA minimum contract being a huge net negative on the floor for every season going back like five years to the last time he was healthy. As much as I hate to admit it because I love making GBS threads on Derrick Rose he got better toward the end of the year. Obviously it's a small sample size but he's easily playable in a backup position if he could maintain that productivity.

Being the pedantic dickweed that I am, I couldn't let this go. New Orleans is a great food town, but San Francisco is better and has far and away the most restaurants per capita in the US. To its credit, New Orleans is No. 1 in bars per capita, with SF clocking in at No. 8. https://www.trulia.com/blog/trends/eating-towns-drinking-towns/
