SGA and Jokic are now virtually tied in WS.


Somehow the Hornets have the lowest SRS but it hasn't been mentioned much AFAIK.

kingcobweb posted:

Zogobot question: could this be the year that LeBron takes the truly important nba record, that of the most missed shots all time? He’s only a few hundred behind Kobe.

It looks like he could do it if he stays healthy. He has the record already (if you include playoffs). And he should reach 40K despite having the lowest PPG since his rookie year.

I also loved Jordan and Phil saying "Oh we totally wanted to come back, we weren't planning on retiring/not re-signing at all, we wanted to come back for 4. Anyway Phil made up a book called "The Last Dance" to start the 97-98 season." Again, Krause made it easy but those guys had no intention on actually coming back.

I remember the feelings of many fans in the mid to late 90s. The players and Phil were demigods visiting from Mount Olympus. Jerry Krause was literally the devil. The 82-0 quote caused much rage. In hindsight the team was shaky but at the time many believed Jordan could've won a few more.

I do wonder what NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL guys would score the highest in those competitions. A lot of the GOAT candidates from those leagues would not fare well at all.

Mysteriously, Thybulle, Grant, and Brogdon were sat yesterday, I didn’t see them on the bench, and all three are eligible to be traded today.

It’s plausible they couldn’t make it to the stadium due to the weather, but it seems like a trade or two is brewing…

I don't know what is happening with reviews that are so clearly wrong. I understand in the motion of the game things are going to be missed, that happens. But when you go to a review and just.... ignore what is on the screen, wtf? Are the refs trying to protest reviews or something?

Secaucus has/had a lot of studio space and the like, WWOR still has stuff there.

My mommy used to work in Secaucus when I was a little kid and there was a sandwich shop where I first got a Cubano when I was sick, it was heaven.

Money wise yes but I don’t see why Portland does it other than to get off money now and why some other team couldn’t beat it. I guess Portlands thinking would be they could just bank a first rounder now and trade Barnes for another first rounder later

They are not the worst team by margin of victory but they are absolutely on pace to be the all time worst at winning games of basketball

They lost the most games in a row of all time in an era where any team can get hot from 3 and win any night.

Until like the mid-to-late 60s Isaiah Stewart would be in like the top-10 (maybe top 5) most skilled point guards if he wanted to play that position instead.
