By reilo Go To PostOr win back-to-back titles. Welcome to the NBA.The best quote goes to Bogut, in relation to Doc "flowing like a salty" Rivers
Last week, center Andrew Bogut also responded to the critics in an interview with KNBR radio.
"I've actually got my [championship] ring fitted for my middle finger, so they can kiss that one," Bogut said.

This isn't the year to be regular season try hards, I'll say that much.
Shit if I'm OKC none of my big three even eclipse 33 mpg avg on the season. If it means 6 seed then so be it.

... Havlicek faked his elbow injury in 1973 I'm sure! Knicks are legit!
I sort of agree on OKC, but the west will still be tough. Portland and Dallas fall off. OKC, Jazz and maybe my Kings step up. The Blazers will still be well coached, so I expect them to be competitive for at least half the year.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostThis isn't the year to be regular season try hards, I'll say that much.Time will tell, but the West could still be a trap / mine field if you try to take your foot off the gas too much. Pells should be better with Gentry, Utah should be better, the entire south west division could qualify. And who knows what the kings/suns/wolves will really bring this season.

Dallas may get 30 wins or so but I think this is the year a lot of the ws and ls even out with the West having a bit of a more difficult time beating up on the East. Road trips won't be 100% free anymore.

Syphon with the A+ inference.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI wonder what Utah will trade to get KembaMaybe a second rounder if you're lucky, but that won't stop you from proclaiming victory.
By reilo Go To PostMaybe a second rounder if you're lucky, but that won't stop you from proclaiming victory.We should be so lucky as to get out of his contract like that
Trevor Booker, Dante Exum, and Tree Bark for Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb/PJ Hairston
It's a trade that works.

One takeaway from the data gathered from this tracking is that shots that immediately follow passes are much more likely to go through the hoop than their unassisted counterparts. The best kinds of shots result from teamwork, and the worst kinds are a result of selfishness. Last season, NBA players attempted just over 200,000 shots. Fifty-three percent of these shots qualify as assisted, while 47 percent qualify as unassisted.1 Overall, the league’s shooters converted 45 percent of their shots — the assisted tries went in 51 percent of the time, while the unassisted shots scored only 38 percent of the time.
This graphic visualizes some truths about present-day NBA basketball — namely that midrange shots are getting harder and harder to justify. But it fails to show the vital context. What kind of midrange shots are we talking about? You wouldn’t use the graphic above to tell Dirk Nowitzki or Chris Paul to stop shooting 2-point jumpers, would you? And just as there is a big difference between a Chris Paul midrange shot and a Lance Stephenson midrange shot, there is a similar difference between an average assisted midranger versus an average unassisted midranger.
When shooters create shots on their own, especially midrange jumpers, they usually produce low-value attempts. This may not be news for people like Popovich, but the actual numbers we are starting to see are pretty striking.
The most foolish shot in the NBA is the unassisted midrange shot, a.k.a. the “on-my-own midrange field goal,” a.k.a. the OMFG.
Last season, the Jordan–owned Charlotte Hornets (Heir Jordans?) led the NBA by attempting 1,768 OMFGs. Now, there are several layers of management between the players on the floor and the Jumpman in the owner’s box, but still: There’s something poetic about the most iconic midrange jump-shooter of all time presiding over a team of midrange jump-shooters.

By reilo Go To PostYou replaced Steve Clifford with a better coach?We got people who can shoot at an NBA level - compared to what we had last year
I don't even blame cliff anymore (for the shooting at least)
By Adam Blade Go To PostYou were in the league last year. Did you not get my email invites x 2?
no. What email do you have for me? Can you PM me on that other site I'm "Zeus Molecules"?
man if Winslow's insane FTR translates to actual games and he ever gets a jumper, whew

I've been having a debate that a Cousins long two is more efficient than a Cousins three in a pick n roll situation. It goes against common thought, but I feel the data backs it up.

By KingGondo Go To PostLarry Sanders just tweeted that he landed in Texas.Spurs would be an odd fit.. TD LMA and West...
First thought is Mavs, but I could see the Rox too. Spurs would be a dark horse.

Jabari Parker, Rodney Hood, Kyle Singler, Austin Rivers?
By unknown Go To Postfunny but clearly shows signs of guilt knowing he beat a team missing a star and some injured players. Also still almost lost.With Kyrie and Love the Cavs most likely but they didn't almost lose...
Also don't think he is feeling guilt people have been saying shit and he is responding..
By Shun Go To PostJabari Parker, Rodney Hood, Kyle Singler, Austin Rivers?PGs are wings?
But Kyle Singler might be the worst defensive player ever
By blackace Go To PostPGs are wings?
But Kyle Singler might be the worst defensive player ever
Rodney Hood and Jabari Parker can play wing tho.
I thought Austin Rivers was a shooting guard? Who could play a size up in small ball? Shit I don't know, I just threw in his name cause he went to Duke.
Just pointing these examples out cuz dy said Duke Wings are good on d.
By Shun Go To PostJabari Parker, Rodney Hood, Kyle Singler, Austin Rivers?kyle singler doesn't even have the tools to be in the nba on offense - let alone defense
hood is just weak. he's not a bad defender at all. jabari is only bad because he never had to care
Lamar Odom found unresponsive in brothel, hospitalized.
The Nye County Sheriff's Office says that former NBA and reality TV star Lamar Odom was found unresponsive at a Nevada brothel and is hospitalized.
Nye County Sheriff Sharon A. Wehrly says the department got a call Tuesday afternoon requesting an ambulance for an unresponsive man at the Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada about 70 miles outside of Las Vegas.
Dennis Hof, the owner of the Bunny Ranch, confirms that Odom checked into the Love Ranch Las Vegas this past Saturday and was staying in Hof's house, which is attached to the ranch.
At 3:30 Tuesday, two workers found Odom unconscious and called 911, Hof says. Paramedics transported Odom to Desert View Hospital in Pahrump, Nev., and tried to airlift him to a Las Vegas hospital, but he was too tall for the available helicopter. He was transported by ambulance. His condition is unknown.
By Forever Go To PostLamar Odom found unresponsive in brothel, hospitalized.Man that's just a sad life. It'd be a shame if it ended here, but I'm not sure that he's ever going to get clean.
