That's great.

[GSW down by 8] Curry makes a shot!
[GSW down by 14] Durant with a dunk!
[GSW down by 18] Klay makes a big shot!
[GSW down by 20] Kahwi misses a shot!
[GSW down by 24] Iguodala makes a shot!

Zogoputer can you bring up the stats on roster continuity from one season to the next and how it seems to affect the performance of the best teams? thank you

How is Afflalo at 0 DWS? I thought defense was one of his main strengths as a player? Did he just stop giving a gently caress. He was a really solid defender a few years ago.

I guess I just remembered it wrong because looking at his numbers it doesn't appear that he is actually any good at defense, and also holy poo poo he's 31?

He has never been a good defender.

Can anyone explain why the Spurs are the best defense in the league with Kawhi off the court but bad when he's on?

I can't make heads or tails of it, he looks way lazier than normal but like he's still playing well.

Because he's on the court when the opponents best player is on, and sits when some garbage backup is on the court.

drat, it's crazy how many teams' futures were impacted by CP3's decision to leave New Orleans. The Lakers, the Clippers, the Pelicans themselves, the Rockets, the Raptors, and now apparently the Warriors too. Plus like a dozen other teams, but those are the ones who could be in very different places right now.

Not to mention all the teams that didn't even attempt to make a trade because they though that David Stern would unilaterally kill it.

Can someone who is smarter than me at advanced metrics explain why Wiggins is so bad when his stats are at least ok by the eye test?

He shoots 3s well, he doesn't turn the ball over a ton. I understand he takes to many 2s a game, but they don't really seem like they should rate him THAT low.

e: eyeballing his stats, I'd guess he was a .09-.1 WS/48 player and he is .047.

His numbers are bad partially because he got the ball in low-efficiency situations (especially before this season). isolations and post ups are low efficiency plays, so even good players's numbers look bad. This season he is playing off the ball more, and his shooting numbers have naturally improved. He is still taking too many bad shots for him to put up good numbers.

If he played for my team I would threaten to bench him every time he dribbled more than once without moving the ball or driving. I don't know why he still has bad habits. I get the feeling his previous coaches allowed him to get away with this, but I can't imagine Thibs encouraging it.
