If Charles Barkley wants to look down on someone for not having the talent to play in the NBA, he gets to do that. You don't.

Re: Game Day: Rockets (35-16) @ Suns (29-24), Tues 2/10/15

I dont care what people say about Harden, there isnt 5 guys in league better. Unguardable. I've been pretty impressed that he actually has been trying on defense this year after getting so much flak for it last season. I think he has the MVP pretty much locked up. Steph Curry still gets my vote.

For a package headlined by Len. When Kings fans expressed objections to trading a proven veteran for a the youngster, management replied, "He's mature for his age."

If Cousins is traded, he'll bring in a huge haul. I doubt we have the assets to make it happen.

Re: If Amare bolts, Mavs are frontrunners for his services

Come on Cap. You're putting a little too much stock in your new math model. And what you're talking about is taking Markieff off the team and not adding anyone else. this is one of the few times i STRONGLY disagree with inf on anything. #keepkeef Yeah. If we can trade him for somebody who's just ...

Re: If Amare bolts, Mavs are frontrunners for his services

Cap, I'm pretty sure the formula you're trying to come up with is called adjusted plus minus. There are also Rate Adjusted Plus Minus (RAPM) and Real Plus Minus (RPM) out there. I think it's basically Regularized Adjusted Plus Minus, but since the people behind these stats don't publish their ...

Re: If Amare bolts, Mavs are frontrunners for his services

I've even thought about David Lee, but Amare might be an option. I'd love to trade the Morris Twins for David Lee. But then again, who wouldn't I trade the Morris Twins for? I can understand your frustration with the Morrii, but you do understand Markieff's importance to the team as currently ...

A note on how critical Kieff and IT are to our success: With Kieff and IT on the court, we are +139 in 302 minutes (+22.1/48) With Kieff on the court and no IT, we are +133 in 962 minutes (+6.6/48) With IT on the court and no Kieff, we are -12 in 459 minutes (-1.3/48) With neither player on the ...

Re: If Amare bolts, Mavs are frontrunners for his services

What issue of ours does Amare help solve? Who do we cut to sign him? In my opinion, he gives us depth at PF (a real PF). He gives us someone to turn to when Kieff is shooting 3-19 from the field... The thing is, Keef actually played well in the clutch. It's not his fault the refs called him for a ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (29-23) @ Kings (17-32), Sun 2/8/15

I think it's as simple as, everyone's unhappy. Nobody feels like they play enough, because we have too many quality players on the roster. Nobody, that is, except PJ Tucker and Eric Bledsoe. Really? Who is in a position to gripe about minutes? IT and Green might play more minutes on other teams ...

You can't really complain about that charge call - it was probably a block, but we sure weren't complaining when they missed a call and gave Thomas some free throws on that layup. i'm basing it on the kings announcers. they werent complaining that much on IT. but they admitted the refs blew it on ...

Re: Suns News: Week 15 2/2-2/8

show me your math equations. Maybe later. It's a work in progress. FWIW, a parameter tweak to combat overfitting has resulted in more reasonable-seeming results: Markieff.Morris = +0.063 Thomas = +0.032 Bledsoe = +0.017 G.Dragic = +0.013 Marcus.Morris = +0.004 Tucker = +0.004 Wright = +0.003 Len ...

Ooh, Kieff should be going to the line but gets called for the charge.
