The thing about Harden is that he's got the largest spread between how good he is and how good he thinks he is

that dunk contest was so obviously rigged for blake it's not even fair to call it a conspiracy theory. javale mcgee was the true winner. topic re-opened and re-locked.

is it that much different from being a Nets fan? I guess the A team in the LA market has a lot more success, but it's not like the Nets have ever done anything. at least Lob City was fun

brooklyn has 2.7 million people. yeah there was an established Knicks fanbase before they moved there but it's not an LA situation with two teams in the same arena.

I've always wondered how much shady poo poo happens around point spreads with lottery-bound teams in the back half of the season. Those teams always have a at least some guys playing big minutes who aren't making much and who might decide the payout is better than whatever their next contract might be.

if a guy is playing big minutes not making much, they're probably playing their rear end off convinced that they can get a bigger contract.

look i can't prove d'angelo is a defensive negative off hand

i just think he's an offense/defense guy, not a sixth man off the bench

he’s an unusual bad defender in that he’s really smart and tries hard but he just doesn’t have the physical ability

you can tell the sixers are good because no one is posting about the sixers

gotta say, the fact that they look this good without harden after replacing the coach… maybe the coaching upgrade is real

111 to 108

Refs are keeping tournament games close unless it’s an undeniable blowout.



it's incredible the poo poo that smaller players can get away with when guarding bigs, versus how quick they are to call fouls on the perimeter. PJ Tucker can practically bear hug Jokic guarding him in the post then fall down and it's an offensive foul.

is Wemby getting steals on anywhere near a rate to be on 5 by 5 watch?

he's getting steals slightly less than Ausar Thompson. OTOH, his steal rate is about the same as Nurkic's was when he got the most recent NBA 5-by-5.

Sirhan had the better drive into the paint but Princep made better adjustments at the rim. Neither of them could touch Lee Harvey Oswald for perimeter shooting, though.
