By RAThasReturned Go To PostI prefer SILENCE
Watching sports without sound is underrated. I cannot stand arena sounds in the NBA, so games are always on mute.
By Sharp Go To PostChet has 16 points on 5 shots, is that goodhow many shooting possessions used though
By Sharp Go To PostChet has 16 points on 5 shots, is that goodWhat does RAPM say
By diehard Go To Posthow many shooting possessions used thoughNine I think.
By blackace Go To PostWhat does RAPM sayI don't know but usually it likes people who are +22 on a team winning by 10.
By Sharp Go To PostI don't know but usually it likes people who are +22 on a team winning by 10.He got that SGA FT call buff today so we will see how it ends up
By reilo Go To PostFoul merchant SGA is worse than prime Harden lmaoHe plays way more ethical hoops than Harden.
By Sharp Go To PostHe plays way more ethical hoops than Harden.He does all of the shit like arms under and even the pushoffs, c'mon now
By reilo Go To PostHe does all of the shit like arms under and even the pushoffs, c'mon nowHarden's game was literally entirely layups, threes and foulbaiting. So what if Shai's good at drawing fouls, it's not like he needs them to score.

By Sharp Go To PostHarden's game was literally entirely layups, threes and foulbaiting. So what if Shai's good at drawing fouls, it's not like he needs them to score.He takes nothing but midrange jumpers and layups. Without the freethrow attempts he'd be nowhere near a top scorer in the league. This is wild ass take, his entire offensive skillset is built around driving and drawing contact to score.
if you took away prime Harden's and SGA's FTs they both be 20 point scorer

By blackace Go To Postif you took away prime Harden's and SGA's FTs they both be 20 point scorerShai takes two fewer free throws per game and makes 10% more of his shots. And actually plays defense lol.

By Sharp Go To PostShai takes two fewer free throws per game and makes 10% more of his shots.and that changes what I said? Both are/were capable scorers without fouls and both become elite scorers with FTs.
By blackace Go To Postand that changes what I said? Both are/were capable scorers without fouls and both become elite scorers with FTs.I dunno I always felt like the complaint with Harden wasn't just that he drew a lot of fouls but that his game was kind of ugly since he'd have these huge scoring nights on insane usage without actually making that many shots and then give zero effort on the other end. Shai really doesn't play that way at all IMO.
By pilonv1 Go To PostMore TJD and Moody pleaseThere was a person whose 2023 draft big board was as follows:
1. Wemby
2. TJD
3. Miller
4. JJJ
5. Walker
Obviously watching his 2024 board with interest because he was cooking. Sheppard is the only freshman in his tier one this year FWIW.

I couldn't put him that high but he's clearly playing at a lottery pick level now. Will he be better than Walker/Hendricks in 4 years? Maybe. He's clearly better than Jett Howard though
By pilonv1 Go To PostI couldn't put him that high but he's clearly playing at a lottery pick level now. Will he be better than Walker/Hendricks in 4 years? Maybe. He's clearly better than Jett Howard thoughHe described his process once as boiling down to noticing that only about 7 prospects every year hit a career average of 1 BPM or higher in the NBA. So if you see someone in college (even a senior) who you think is likely to get there, you should take them even if you're not expecting much growth.
TJD's BPM so far this year is 1.8 (higher after tonight). Amen's 1.0. Wemby's is 4.4 because he's Wemby. Nobody else in the class is above 1 yet. So if this is an average class we already know 3/7 and TJD is likely one of them (I think it's actually a well above average class but either way, huge draft win).
By pilonv1 Go To PostIs Podz one too?Podz is around 0 which is really good for his age (it doesn't mean you'll definitely be a star, but most stars get to about 0 by their rookie or sophomore year). But this year there are like nine guys from the 2023 draft that good or better which is why I think it's a strong class (for the 2022 class, for reference, there were only three around 0 or higher and only one above 1 last year, and all three of them were older players).
That was absolute garbage. How can you play so well for 8 minutes and then can’t do anything the rest of the night.
This bench is just awful. No idea why Dinwiddie is even out there. Taking minutes off Max.
Ham is a fucking bum.

By reilo Go To PostFoul merchant SGA is worse than prime Harden lmaonot even close
By pilonv1 Go To PostNot really sure how a foul isn’t called here
These are getting ridiculous
Either you think Curry initiated that contact so it should be an offensive foul or the defender just plows through him which should also be a foul.
By pilonv1 Go To PostShouldn’t have flopped to minimal contact. If that was a foul, the Pels would shoot at least 100 ft’s a game.
These are getting ridiculous
By Εspi Go To PostNot really sure how a foul isn’t called hereWatch it closer. The defender didn’t plow through him. Came to a stop while touching Steph’s back with barely any force. Curry tried to sell the contract.
Either you think Curry initiated that contact so it should be an offensive foul or the defender just plows through him which should also be a foul.
E: lmao I watched even closer and curry stick his leg out to the side intentionally to trip the defender. A favorite of his that he is never called out on. Should be an offensive foul.
Lol SHOOK Simmons fleeced everyone
He’ll do it again when he gives a shit for a few months next season to get one last payday
