As a dubs fan, I think it comes down to three point variance. Dubs hit the bullshit threes at home and not on the road, and vis-versa for the other teams.
Like against the hawks at home, Klay hit shots to send it to overtime, while they can't hit anything outside yesterday and John Collins can't miss.

Pat Bev willing the Bulls to the post season while the Lakers crash out is a great storyline, this needs to happen

Problem is the Lakers were even farther away from the post season when they had Beverly and he's at least a contributor to why they were in that state, so I'm not sure that storyline has legs.

The warriors play at the fastest pace in the league and their 3 most important players are 33, 33 and 35. They were counting pretty hard on Jordan Poole being a very good player and it turns out he is somewhere between “ok” and “kinda bad”.

I don’t think it’s really rocket science why the teams not very good this year. Last year, when they were a good team, their pace was 13th in the league. Turns out when your best players are old as poo poo, they don’t have the legs to win games on the road when you play fast. Shocking.

I forget who made the point first here in the thread but somebody pointed out that his entire blossoming as a semi star player last year was because refs wouldn’t call travels that he needed to get a separation to get his shot off. Now that they call travels on him he’s just not a good player.

Jordan poole's WS/48 this year are .046, the only time Lou williams was near that or lower were his age 19, 34, and 35 seasons.

If Jordan Poole was Lou Williams there wouldnt really be an issue.

I mean, he's not very good on the Bulls but the Bulls are playing Coby White heavy minutes so

What’s even more damning than being bad is being inconsistently good, because it means that on a fundamental, structural level the hornets organization - the one led by Michael Jordan himself and is the one element he has complete control over...

Also, a few years ago a germ study was done at every NBA arena and Charlotte's was the dirtiest in the whole league IIRC. For most intents and purposes they were boiling hot dogs in used toilets. :barf:

GSW had the cleanest food prep/arena.

Is this really just Mike Brown doing good work and De'Aaron Fox playing to his potential? Huerter was a nice pickup from the team management side, as was Monk.

Sabonis is #2 in WS in the whole league. Domantas is the new Arvydas. From age 31-35 Arvydas had five straight seasons with a .2+ WS/48. That's not easy to do.

Spurs/Rockets are both slightly worse.

monkeu's prophecy foretelling the Warriors 2023 title is looking extremely tenuous ATM. If they win it all it'll deserve at least 10-15 reregs. Maybe if Curry can average efficient 60+ point games in the short-term.


LBJ is now #2 in NBA minutes played (behind KAJ) and #4 in games played (about to pass Stockton). Maybe he's reached the proverbial wall.

Anything else is a media narrative.

that si article is hot garbage and obviously the lawyer's account is going to be biased but i don't think the two sources you cited point to miller blocking in harris

it sounds like he drove up and allowed his friend to take a gun out of his car (and boy is that loving stupid and morally objectionable) but didn't assist in any other way (at least not in any way that's been verified)

also brandon miller drove a charger, not the jeep
