For the season, they’ve been 14.8 points per 100 possessions better with Nurkic on the floor (plus-9.7) than they’ve been with him off the floor (minus-15.9)...

Re: All Things Ayton

He’s 5th in scoring on the team…he’s close to Sharpe and Brogdon, but well behind Simons and Grant He’s averaged 19 ppg over his last 12 games. If he keeps trending in the direction he has been, he’ll get closer to Simons. But I’m saying if they had traded Grant when he was eligible to be traded (b...

I think it’s more nefarious than that. The NBA actually has a revenue stream from gambling now. So it is in their best interest for certain outcomes. Stop thinking you’re watching actual competition and realize you’re watching WWE, it’ll help with your mental health.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 19 (2/26 - 3/3)

Oh come on, the refs screwed them. Point. At best, they didn't have the balls to whistle against NY in NY. At worst, they had money on it. And I am always amazed how people say it's the players fault. You have to win despite the refs/NBA clearly not wanting you to win, and that's ok? And I'm not onl...

Re: Game Day: Suns (33-23) @ Rockets (24-31), Friday 2/23/24

Clippers are really contenders this year but they're waiting for that since 2019. We might have to wait a year or two to get there. We need continuity. Still, I got the impression Vogel is using the regular season to experiment, a lot. We're not used to it, it can be disorienting. This team is defin...

Didn't watch. Then I saw Book's highlights on youtube and gave it a try. Stopped after 2 plays, disgusted by the lack of D and motivation.
Watching trained mices playing ball was more interesting than that. Really.

Is he really a fraud since he openly said that his goal was his paycheck?

BTW loving videogames doesn't make you a good dev.
Loving eating doesn't make you a chef.

Well, I sent in two entries for the G-League Name the Team Contest - The Valley Fever The Sonoran Dogs I've had both and would recommend the later over the former. I'd go with the Valley Boyz (and get "The Valley" jersey back), it would be the coolest G-league team ever. But it's impossib...

Re: What does this team need most?

Look at teams that are way better than last year, at least record-wise (Orlando, Indiana, Sacramento, OKC), they didn't add huge talent that helped them make the leap, they have continuity. We have a whole new roster, it's impossible to play very good basketball with so much new faces. I hope we pea...

Too much whining, too much flopping/acting. He might be the most talented and durable ever, but for me the goat is also a way of being, and he doesn't check that box, at least not like MJ.

Those single-elimination games should be played on neutral arena. That's basic.
The semi-finals and finals are, but higher seeds got home court for the quarter finals
Not fair...
