no one had a home court advantage because there was no crowds for anyone and they can all afford to rent big houses which is just like being at home anyways and everyone was playing in weird circumstances so no the toronto raptors may as well have been the florida raptors

edit: that's from memory, it was dumb as well and i don't care enough to go and actually look up if there were more reasons

lol this was it exactly. all players assets are robots merely numbers on a spreadsheet to be manipulated in order to maximize pythagorean wins. meep zorp

please do not make that comparison again. when ben simmons is in a half court offense i pray to god that they don't have him involved in a pick and roll, something he is so bad it makes me physically ill to contemplate.

Draymond averaged 7 points per game on 6 attempts per game last year. All he can do is pass whereas Simmons can pass and drive. Obviously his inability to shoot is a huge liability and his weaknesses are more glaring in light of how much raw potential he has (1st pick vs. Draymond being a mid-second rounder) but he is unquestionably better at this point. People are just undervaluing him right now because of how shameful his playoff performances were in the second round this year

I mean it's also insane that he needs to be taken out at the end of games due to bad free throw shooting and his poor half court offense, but the dude was still second in DPOTY, really good in the open court, and 24 years old.

If he can be the 3rd or (preferably) 4th best scoring option, I'll buy it.
