This guy attempts to quantify individual defense, and it looks like his stats match the eye test, for the most part. SportsVU has been a godsend, honestly http://www.basketballanalyticsbook.com/2017/02/06/individual-defensive-ratings-draymond-embiid-and-giannis-on-top/

Dexo posted:Lebron's post game "you guys can say whatever about me, but guess what tommorrow I'm gonna wake up and be LeBron James, while you broke bois are gonna go to your normal job and live the same pathetic life" is the most underrated post game/series press conference answer ever. I remember when I saw this live I was mad but I was also like 15 Now, it's a great moment in post game history and I love it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT1jgFZZryE

I'll laugh if the Lakers vault into the number 1 spot, and doubly so when Magic Johnson drafts Lonzo Ball number 1

I actually look back on the LeBron Heat era fondly, they played some great basketball until they were broken by the immortal Pop

I dunno, I think the subtext of LeBron finally meeting a worthy adversary three years in a row makes for good basketball; similarly the Warriors got super lucky because just four years ago they were an afterthought. There was no way these two teams weren't going to meet again for the title, so I like that they blew everyone out to ensure it A shame about everyone else though

the Cavs are a +500 underdog now, this is great betting time that said, the Cavs winning it all seems a lot tougher now since they got blown out of the water. but they're definitely not turning over the ball 20 times like they did tonight again

this looks different from last year's team, I really think the Warriors will either gentleman's sweep or outright finish the Cavs in 4. look unstoppable right now

i think the world somehow managed to underrate the Warriors, given that 3-1 and Steph going ghost are still relatively fresh in mind

why does SF have such a bad homeless problem? I saw so many while I was there last week, more than I've seen in New York in basketball: what adjustments are the Cavs going to make tonight? at the beginning of Game 2 I saw that LeBron was running a pick and roll with Love which was interesting. JR definitely isn't going to see time the rest of the series, I think

this team is the kind of team that we won't see for another 20 years, truly unstoppable and won't be appreciated in their time not even a Warriors fan, but I think this was a great run and I love seeing history as it happens
