By The Frankman Go To PostKanter is a good player and PPM/efficiency machine. Sure his D is poor but that's more due to instincts than anything else. Wonder what team he'll be on next year.His D was passable this series (and I think some analytics stating even above-average), so even more egg on Adams's face.

Yeah let's just see how he does in the second round against... idk, tougher competition.
By DY_nasty Go To PostIn no context is that a decent shot lmao
Stepback 40 ft jumper over one of the best defenders in the league after waiving teammates off? If it's such a great shot why even run the pnr sets that have destroyed Steven Adams all series
That's a crazy shot and display of big dick energy but foh I'd be mad too if I'm PG lol. You'd rather lose on free throws than seeing that go in.
100 percent correct. It's the maximum amount of "fuck you" a player can muster in a single shot. I haven't seen something so disrespectful on the court since Max Power Curry shot a pull up 40 footer against...oh.
Smh OKC
If Donovan was even a mediocre coach he would've repeatedly exposed Kanter every possession... but he is a trash coach and lets Westbrook do whatever tf he wants.
OKC is being piloted by two Robins. One of which thinks he’s Batman and the other content letting him think that.
I ain’t even mad at PG, but everyone saw this coming with Westbrook

Kirk Goldsberry has spoken:
Nope, Damian Lillard's series winner wasn't a bad shot
bow down to the shotchart king
Nope, Damian Lillard's series winner wasn't a bad shot
"That's a bad, bad shot," George said. "I don't care what anybody says. That's a bad shot. But hey, he made it. That story won't be told that it was a bad shot. We live with that."
Well, maybe not.
As a whole, the league made just 25.9 percent of shots from that distance, so it's fair to say that for most dudes, shots from that range aren't very "good."
Lillard isn't most dudes. He sank 39.2 percent of his shots from 30 to 40 feet this season.
On average, NBA shooters convert 35.5 percent of their 3s, and George sank 38.6 percent of his 3-point tries this season. In other words: Deep-space Dame appears to be as good of an option as the typical NBA 3-point look, or even an average Paul George 3-point attempt.http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26593473/nope-damian-lillard-series-winner-bad-shot

By Kabro Go To Posttime for the Dame Winning Shot.
boi
It's a bad shot at the same time Dame has dagger throwing ninjitsu, need to ride his ass harder those last few seconds.
By DY_nasty Go To PostKirk goldsberry literally never mentioned before on this site wow what unique nuts to swing fromThe search function isn't that terrible
lol what? Goldsberry used to be a staple and one of the best parts on Grantland and was referenced here all the time.
I think Lillard should only shoot from beyond 30 feet from now on.
As a matter of fact, I don't want to see anyone else taking shots unless it's off an offensive rebound and Lillard is dead.

Curry should pull from half court on all his shots. Something something sample size
By sy xxx Go To PostThe search function isn't that terribleI was your ally
Lillard pulled this same shit like a month and a half ago against Brooklyn at home. Dicked around in the backcourt with plenty time remaining only to chuck a 30+ footer that bricked off the backboard. Cost his team a chance to win then, this time it’s a good shot cuz he clanks it in off the back iron
By Trey Go To PostCurry should pull from half court on all his shots. Something something sample sizeActually there is a theory that he should start shooting them as the offensive rebound rate on them is so high.
I would say the difference in that shot between all the other ones Lillard has taken is this one had the additional difficulty of it being a step-back, almost all those shots were set shots.
And now the vultures are coming out...
An anonymous Eastern Conference analytics director recently suggested that Russell Westbrook is past his prime..
"There's no debate," the analytics director said when asked if the 30-year-old Westbrook is past his peak. "You just look at what his metrics are this year versus the past, and where his age is and the amount of minutes and style of play, and there's no debate." Of the 30 players who averaged at least 20 points per game this season, Russ ranked dead last in EFG (46.8) and when you expand the threshold to guys who scored at least 15 points a night, he ranked 69th out of 70; right between Dennis Schroder and Andrew Wiggins. Yikes
Coach A: Shit I can't play Kanter
Coach B a couple years later: I'm gonna play Kanter against you.
Coach A: I got nothing.
Shouldn't coach A get fired for that? Ijs...

I have a friend who just (publicly) dropped out of being a lifelong Suns fan to become a Bucks fan overnight. This dude lives in San Diego.
Congrats Giannis, you made it.

I understood that reference.
Publicly meaning he just announced it on his FB feed. He was mad about Kokosov getting fired and the Sarver piece in ESPN.
If you can just up and decide to be a fan of another team and you are honestly just as into your new team as you were your original team then you weren't really that big of a fan in the first place.
By masud Go To PostIf you can just up and decide to be a fan of another team and you are honestly just as into your new team as you were your original team then you weren't really that big of a fan in the first place.Honestly, you arent qualified to decide that
By blackace Go To PostHonestly, you arent qualified to decide thatI'd say I'm the most qualified.
By masud Go To PostI'd say I'm the most qualified.Just because you support a horrible product doesn't mean other people need to...
By blackace Go To PostJust because you support a horrible product doesn't mean other people need to…
Spurs ain't a horrible product tho.
By Fenderputty Go To PostSpurs ain't a horrible product tho.lol
By blackace Go To PostJust because you support a horrible product doesn't mean other people need to…It's more than a 'product' to a real fan through. If you just like watching good basketball fine, say that you're a hoops fan but don't claim to be a fan of a team if you can just switch up like that.
By blackace Go To Postlol
You're yelling at clouds again!

It's not about just watching good basketball it's about supporting a team that is just stealing customers money. Every person has a limit to how much shit they can take before they just say fuck it
By Fenderputty Go To PostYou're yelling at clouds again!Chemtrails
By Fenderputty Go To PostOne day Ace will say fuck it and stop rooting for the Sonics.You aren't as clever as you think you are... lol
I never said I was switching teams. But I don't label somebody as a lesser fan than me if they get fed up with a team..
By blackace Go To PostSure you can… Just like old boy did. It's not about just watching good basketball it's about supporting a team that is just stealing customers money. Every person has a limit to how much shit they can take before they just say fuck itBad ownership is not enough to turn away real fans. I was a fan before Dolan, I'll be a fan after Dolan. The Knicks belong to the city not him. Anyway you know I'm right, you're literally a fan of a team that doesn't exist anymore. Why did you never join Laker nation Ace? Basketball is basketball right?
Edit: Dammit fender stole my thunder like Howard Shultz...

Can we make a spreadsheet?
PS fuck the Lakers

I don't think I'm a better fan because I'm emotionally tethered to this train wreck but I am and I'm not gonna front about it. I have a problem don't be like me, honestly I think it would be awesome to be a team agnostic NBA fan but I literally can't imagine how I would go about doing that.

I understand being mentally invested in a hometeam, but not every city has teams so the roots might not run as deep.
By blackace Go To PostIt wasn't even a good point when he made it
Jus' having some fun, man. Clouds need support too.
I honestly find the topic of who's a bigger fan to be rather silly. LA's entire sports culture revolves around showing up when the team is good and I always found the critique of LA fans funny for the same reasons you're laying out.
By Smoke Dogg Go To PostYeah let's just see how he does in the second round against… idk, tougher competition.
He should be fine against the Nuggets, they aren't pick and roll heavy and Murray is so hot and cold. Jokic might be the guy that's unplayable having to get out on CJ and Dame
By blackace Go To PostYou literally said if somebody switches teams they weren't real fans… I understand being mentally invested in a hometeam, but not every city has teams so the roots might not run as deep.They weren't. Their investment wasn't that great, you said it yourself the roots don't run that deep. But I never tried to imply that being less of a fan of a team was a bad thing. It only becones a bad thing when you have people claiming to be lifelong Warrior superfans.

It only becones a bad thing when you have people claiming to be lifelong Warrior superfans.They were fans tho. Just we are irrationally invested in something, doesn't mean they weren't fans and just got tired of being shat on by their team... looking at the Suns. Devin Booker has been in the NBA for 4 years and has had 4 coaches lol
Dudes quicker to cut off a woman for petty reasons than cut off the Knicks for 2 decades of fuckery.
Besides we see you flirting with the Spurs.
