First thing that put a smile on my face today. Thank you. Also, Harrison Barnes had another good game. Combined with other recent events, we can safely assume that the end is nigh.

The man continues to rule. edit: Zach Lowe posted:Man, this is the season of crazy statistical outliers. Embiid's per-36 minute averages: 30 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4.5 blocks, almost a dozen foul shots, 5.7 fouls and 7.4 turnovers. Honestly, the turnovers might be the most impressive number. No rotation guy has ever averaged more than 5.6 cough-ups per 36 minutes over a full season. The Sixers are letting Embiid do whatever he wants, and it is amazing.

Kibner posted:Hey now, Brolic, Frazier is also doing (kinda) well! Asik is doing no worse than Hill, too. I like Frazier a lot. 12 & 8 on good shooting numbers feels about right. He's a good one. Disclaimer: I massively overrated the Pelicans in Zogo's questionnaire, so I'm glad at least one guy other than Davis is looking solid.

Chris Mannix posted:He studied the work ethic of Kevin Durant, absorbed the confidence of Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, and took note of how hard Kyrie Irving works at getting better at finishing at the rim. He learned leadership, something he says he and Lowry strive to be better at every day. Well, that explains why DeRozan is setting the world on fire: he's a Monstar!

"We are Rome." Thanks, Pop. Also, that Oden thing is really sad. quote:"But I will say that when I was playing, can you say that? ... I don't think I was that bad when I was on the court," Oden said. "I felt like it could have just got better if I had more time on there." You were good, Greg. I hope he has friends and family to help him keep his head up.

Just watched OKC - Clippers. For at least two seasons people have been wondering, "Is this the year Chris Paul drops off?" And then he's posting a PER of 32.5 through the first 9 games and you realize: he's the black John Stockton and will never drop off. edit: Browsing through the team rosters and stats, it feels like this season has more players going bananas than usual.

So much for the Hezonja hype bandwagon. Also, the Nets have really surprised me. I wasn't sure they would be able to win 15 games this season. But somehow they can hang. Edit: I even had to look up who their coach is right now. Please educate me on Kenny Atkinson. Jack's Flow fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Nov 14, 2016 |

Zach Lowe on OKC and stuff around the league: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18067106/zach-lowe-russell-westbrook-steven-adams-oklahoma-city-thunder-nba edit: I wasn't aware of this one sided romance: quote:Drake wore a black T-shirt with a drawing of ESPN analyst Doris Burke’s face and the words “Woman Crush Everyday.” I’m actually starting to feel a little bit anxious for the poor woman: She told New York magazine’s Rembert Browne back in June that Drake had once turned to her during a Raptors game and shaped his hands like a heart in her general direction. She wasn’t working this ESPN broadcast, but that didn’t stop Drake from calling her a “stunning woman” in a courtside interview and adding that she should come to his house for dinner — alone.

Durant is the human torch and it's amazing. I hadn't looked at his stats so far this season, but he's shooting 57% from the field. I would have guessed even higher.

I didn't post last night, but man - Antetokounmpo is smooth as gently caress. What a good player he's become. If he ever finds out how to shoot, things will get ugly. Also, happy for Kibner that the Pelicans are finally playing basketball.  edit: We need to rescue John Wall.

Yeah, this seems to be the year Carlisle has run out of magic juice. I'd rank them below the Wizards because the Wizards will at least give me John Wall breaking the sound barrier once or twice per game. The Mavs got Seth Curry shooting spot up 3s.

quote:Like with Biyombo, Turner’s early struggles with his new team shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise; the benefits of continuity are often overlooked by fans and reporters coming into a season. The surprise is just how bad he’s been. The Blazers have a net rating of minus-16.7 when he is on the floor, and a net rating of plus-9.3 points when he is off. The good news is that he can’t continue to be as harmful as his advanced numbers suggest he has been, because no NBA-caliber player could be over the course of a season. I want to see a team that plays both Evan Turner and Rondo at the same time. Call it morbid curiosity.

Spacebump posted:Reminds me of the 90s Mavs draft experience. Just awful when that situation happens. Sounds familiar. The Warriors were really, really good at blowing lottery picks for a long time. I talked myself into franchise savior and #1 overall pick Joe Smith for two years. It was loving awful. But then, of course, they drafted Curry, Klay and Green, and all of them exceeded expectations to a ridiculous degree. So I will consider drafting loving Mike Dunleavy Jr. the blood sacrifice that was needed to right the ship. Jack's Flow fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Nov 21, 2016 |

Every time I see Devin Booker's shooting percentages, I want to take a sharpie and fix them on my monitor. I like his jumper. Facts are overrated. 28% on 5 3-pointers per game is not good. And Memphis has a 9-5 record. I like the Grizzlies, so this is cool. Gasol and Conley are just solid. edit: The NBA tinkered with the International League Pass website too. Unsurprisingly, it looks like poo poo now. They are probably hard at work to add a permanent filter that renders NBA players into anime characters in real time, thus ruining the live footage which is the last part that does not suck.
