Tae posted:Minutes distribution is wild. Mitchel played 44 minutes while Brunson only played 29. No wonder why he looked so fresh down the stretch. Brunson had foul trouble in the first half and the Cavs really only have 4 players they trust WhyteRyce posted:Get in a time machine and say the Knicks and kings win a playoff game on the same day Do this the day of the Porzingis trade and tell people the Mavs also will miss the playoffs.

tanglewood1420 posted:Russ played with heart tonight, but he for sure hasn't given much of a poo poo on defence 95% of the time since he left OKC. Maybe he's now finally accepted that he isn't a star anymore and can't slack off without the ball or he won't see the floor. he was super motivated today for sure, playoffs, underdog, lakers won, etc

they should kick Draymond from the league and retroactively award 3 rings to Lebron. And one to the Celtics, I guess.

Not to be all moral scold and all but I'm worried about what happens in game 3 of Warriors/Kings. Dray's going to be amped up and feeling invincible

snyprmag posted:Yes, team construction influence vibes which influences effort. The problem with Russ was never his talent, people always knew he could be a high motor, good rebounding, good defense guy who is killer in transition. He just has waffled between being a pretty valuable and terrible player depending on when his jumper falls.

Grizzlies are something crazy like 0-15 now as a road underdog and they're terrible against the spread (that late foul meant they didn't cover)

https://twitter.com/kpelton/status/1650729022400376832?s=20 Implied Win Probablity based on betting lines Celtics 99.5% Nuggets 99% Knicks 85% Warriors 73% Can't find lines for the rest; my guess is you'd say something like 90% for the Lakers? And... 66% for the Heat? And like 99% for the Suns.

Veryslightlymad posted:I haven't checked out much WWE aside from Seamus/Gunther beating the piss out of each other. I've heard Dominik has become really good at riling a crowd. They had to cut time from the main event last night because the crowd was booing Dominik so hard earlier in the night that it took him 5 minutes to say one sentence. (He turned on his father and has become a total delusional loser heel. He got "arrested" for attacking Rey at Rey's house and then spent the next six months talking about how he's a hardened criminal and came out to wrestlemania with a police escort and in handcuffs.)

Dexo posted:Embiid's season was good enough where people might say Joker should have won but not that it was some grave miscarriage of justice. I just think without the context of the season/narrative stuff it will seem more likely that Jokic was deserving. Unless the next few years play out and Embiid dominates, of course.

Tae posted:Even if I know Rose was entirely narrative driven, his stats are pretty sad to look at So a while back I made a spreadsheet to track every MVP in the 3pt Era and see what was most predictive of the MVP, tracking PER, WS, WS/48, BPM, and VORP. I had other stuff there but it was less predictive. There's also team rank (as in, overall team record rank). As you can expect, team rank's become less important over the years - Nash was the first guy since Michael in 88 who wasn't on a top 2 team. Meanwhile the leader in PER and WS/48 has won almost all of the MVPs since Kobe's. If you average their ranks in advanced stats, Rose is one of the "worst" MVPs, along with the Nash MVPs, AI, and Kobe's.

i am a moron posted:Oh no a guy who averaged 33/10/4 got the MVP how scandalous Paul Zuvella posted:Yeah this isn’t outrage worthy. This isn’t Nash winning or anything like that I didn't say it's a scandal and I'm not outraged. What made you think that? Spring Break My Heart posted:I also think that the Nuggets/Jokic slowing down at the end of the season opened the door for Embiid. Rick posted:Yeah people forget how bad the Nuggets were to close the season out. They invited a lot of the doubt that anyone had for them. This is definitely part of the context that'll be missed. Lots of people seemingly changed their votes week by week based on whatever performance just happened.

Skrill.exe posted:Look, the NBA has a clear bias against small market teams with small fanbases. That's why Adam Silver and his goons are handing the series to the Lakers instead of the plucky little Warriors. Silver knows the little family owned business Lakers might collapse without a second ring this decade. It's good business. rjmccall posted:That’s like a solid quarter of this thread whenever their team loses. the refs aren't biased against any team. except mine, the dallas mavericks, because mark cuban criticizes the refs

pentyne posted:Tim claims the NBA had an official 'unofficial' policy that game 6&7s were massively preferred for high value match-ups, and that if you played by their rules and made sure to get it to a 7 game series you would be sure to get the prestigious play-off reffing jobs. I wouldn't dismiss out of hand the idea that other refs are corrupt / trying to fix games, but yeah, Donaghy's claims about how he could win knowing ref tendencies and vendettas seems false

Space Camp fuckup posted:I kind of half remembered Haralabos Voulgaris making a ton of money betting on the NBA by factoring ref tendencies into his algorithm and it turned up this old article. Good read. I mean what Bob was doing is different - he paid a bunch of people to chart games and he went in depth into the stats of what kinds of calls guys are making. If someone calls a lot more ticky tack fouls then you are more likely to bet the over, etc. What Donaghy was doing was like "this ref hated the owner so I knew he'd gently caress them" and they're always bullshit. https://aloneinthecorner.com/post/687025737/if-his-lips-are-moving Here Donaghy claims they bet Charlotte vs Minnesota, but the evidence would indicate that they bet Minnesota and Donaghy made a huge number of calls favoring Minnesota to try to win it. https://aloneinthecorner.com/post/668866502/tim-donaghy-vs-derrick-stafford Here Donaghy claims he bet on the Knicks because Gary Stafford hated Pat Riley and the Heat, but the only guy making biased calls was Donaghy. He has a few more posts about Donaghy on the blog and they're mostly all like this I kind of think if you had been looking for this stuff you'd have been able to suss it out, because Donaghy was so blatant about it with his one sided calls. I wonder if you could find it now if it was happening
