By diehard Go To PostIs it just me or is point differential coming in above head to head record as a tie breaker for this in-season tournament a bit strange?
I like it, teams playing till the end even if it's a blowout.
By diehard Go To PostIs it just me or is point differential coming in above head to head record as a tie breaker for this in-season tournament a bit strange?It doesn't. It's just that there is a high chance of three-way ties so point differential can come into play more often than expected.
By Kibner Go To PostIt doesn't. It's just that there is a high chance of three-way ties so point differential can come into play more often than expected.Why are people saying that the Jazz would need to beat the Lakers by 12 tonight? They would both be 3-1 and the Jazz would have the head to head even with a 1 point win.
I guess if the Suns win too?

Not used to an organized system, i done said this a few days ago. Ball is moving way more than previous seasons and he doesn't know what to do. Ship him to Washington. Let him and Poole excite @Phaze and the Wizards faithful.
Green is shooting a career-low from the field and a career-low in effective field goal percentage. His points per game are down from last season, and at times, he seems to be out of the play completely. He has not been as aggressive, and his percentage on drives to the basket has plummeted from over 44 percent last season to under 38 percent this season.
Green’s touches are down from 65.9 last season to 57.7 this season, with VanVleet having more touches per game than any other player Green has played with in his NBA career.
The Rockets are running the offense through VanVleet and Sengun, who has become the Rockets’ best player this season. The Rockets went from a bottom-tier offensive team ranking at the bottom regarding assists per game. Last season, the Rockets ranked last in assists per game, and they are at number 12 this season. That means the Rockets are playing more team ball, which means less one-on-one play.
Green’s game has always been more isolated and less moving off the ball. Part of it was the coaching staff's fault, but some of it has been on Green, who hasn't always been the best at playing off-ball. That is years of playing mostly isolation ball, and now you are expected to be more of a pass-first guard at times instead of an attacking guard.

By Rob Go To PostKuzma as a 7th option isn’t bad.A Kuzma who wants to be a 7th option wouldn't be bad. A 7th option who wants to be the dude is never good 😂
By DY_nasty Go To PostKuzma in a real system might actually be decentHis skillset would be welcome to any team if he played his role

Up until this week I would have traded Wiggins for Kuzma

Damn, the Knicks got them a nice player
By domino Go To Postman they arent playing any D in Indy/ATL huhEven Vegas underestimated them, the Over was at 251.
By domino Go To Postman they arent playing any D in Indy/ATL huhI feel like every IND game is like this. Every time I look at a box score it’s 140/150
By Rob Go To PostI feel like every IND game is like this. Every time I look at a box score it’s 140/150They are averaging like 128 ppg.
If they keep it up they will actually pass some boomer teams like the 81 Nuggets.
By diehard Go To PostShooting like 30% but it's still less putrid than this court
Between that and the Sixers court earlier tonight, I think I'm retiring to go play baseball.
Looks like a lot of the Pels role players over the last week or so have been all about telling people that the Pels go as far as Zion and Ingram take them.
CJ with some words:
Jose also had some things to say after the game the other day. Complimentary, but still emphasizing "look, all us secondary guys are playing how we need to. both of y'all need to step up and play how you are capable of if we want to get anywhere".
This also comes after Zion revealed that there was a team meeting a few days ago where players brought up how the team needs to play in order to be successful. The Pels have also been playing a more cohesive offense the last few games, mostly because Zion and Ingram are moving the ball, moving off the ball, rebounding, and giving half a shit more on defense.
They've done it for four games in a row; I hope they keep it up.

And yeah I agree with them that the Pelicans roster feels like is constructed (when healthy) to be able to win as much as any other team during the regular season, and how far they go is up to their All Stars.
Bucks with the #1 offense (128.2ORtg) and #9 defense (113.4DRtg) during their 5-game win streak and I don't think what they're running still makes much sense with Griffin looking like David Blatt.
And then, then there's this:

Talent in the NBA overrides damn near everything else
It takes a lot to underperform but stars aligning to overperform.

You hate to see Embiid ducking the Wolves. They always play down to their competition, though, so it'll be a close game still.
Kinda just hoping Finch plays Leonard Miller tonight since McDaniels is out, but he hates rookies.

By DY_nasty Go To PostI know Amico is a shitty source but I hope the Hornets/Bulls convo on Lavine is real
😂
Brickmuse is also a funny account
I love the hater accounts
They’ve already posted about Jaylen Brown a bunch already and it’ll happen tonight too :(

By blackace Go To PostAmazingWith how popular PC games are now I don’t think devs have a real excuse to not care anymore.
I wish PC got next gen 2K
That's basically how I play 2K always😥
PC gamers will gladly buy micro transactions. It’s also not 2004 anymore where only basement dwelling nerds play RTS and MMOs. Pretty sure Valorant has a better player count than CS and has a strict anti cheat. No one’s gonna care if they gotta install that shit anymore. As long as they can play and not worry about cheaters they don’t care
