just 4 kicks i checked our preseason predix thread. i think everyone had detroit and charlotte making the east offs (no one had mil or chi), and almost everyone had minn instead of mem in the west. i would have hit 4 of my 5 over/under picks.
congrats to sloth for picking the 8 west playoff teams (though he wasn't close on the seeding).
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 13 April 2017 22:35 (seven years ago) link
iirc i was right about rockets and jazz being real teams this year but whiffed on most of the other differences from last year
― ciderpress, Thursday, 13 April 2017 22:39 (seven years ago) link
i guess i was also right about minn not being real, not sure what ppl were thinking there. i had nuggets and pels as the ascendant west teams, alas

GSW v POR warriors 4LAC v UTA jazz 6 (end of clippers as we've known them)HOU v OKC rockets 5SAS v MEM spurs 6
BOS v CHI celtics 6WAS v ATL wizards 7TOR v MIL raptors 6 CLE v IND cavaliers 6
― Clay, Friday, 14 April 2017 04:22 (seven years ago) link
I'm thinking the west will see mostly walkovers, with the exception of Clips v Jazz.
GSW over POR in 4LAC over UTA in 7HOU over OKC in 5SAS over MEM in 4
I'm thinking the east will provide just a little more 1st round drama.
BOS over CHI in 5ATL over WAS in 7TOR over MIL in 6CLE over IND in 5
But mostly I'm thinking I'm not so great at this prediction stuff.

injuries can foster upsets and 5s can beat 4s w/o it being an upset. but with a 7 game series, the 1-8, 2-7, and 3-6 usually go according to form.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Friday, 14 April 2017 20:32 (seven years ago) link
true, but for me, clips v jazz is a unique case bc of all the clips' injuries during the season. i think theyre going to beat the jazz handily. (would like to be proven wrong tho). that wizards/atl series im less confident in my pick bc atl has some dece playoff experience and also defense is at a premium? but wall is the best player in this series.

Chicago is one of the best offensive-rebounding teams. Boston is one of the worst defensive-rebounding teams. And it became clear how much this mismatch would matter when the Bulls stole Game 1 by snagging 45.5% of their missed shots.That rate wasn’t merely better than the Bulls’ average. It was their highest offensive-rebounding percentage of the entire season.

Raptors are uniquely fragile in the playoffs but I have to say I think the bucks are a tough draw, they're just so big and weird and Middleton is really good so that's two dynamite perimeter guys to worry about right off the bat. Casey also has a storied tradition of duffing it in the 'offs and j Kidd is (ugh) kind of a good coach?

anyway, john wall rates better than him as a defender, is as elite at stealing as cp3 and is also an elite shot blocker for a guard. john wall also sees the floor as well as any PG in the league imo. cp3 is one of the most consistent jump shooters in the league and john wall obv doesn't have that, but wall is also elite in transition. again, i'm just saying cp3's not *definitely* better than him.

same criticism at Russ that MJ would get when he was surrounded by a bunch of stiffs. some of it is warranted of course, just as it was for MJ. but it's not like Bulls were gonna go any further w/MJ ceding crunch time shots to Dave Corzine or Sedale Threatt.

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 23:09 (seven years ago) link
I think Evan Turner may have had some turnovers on attempted passes that were not credited as such because the ball was grabbed right out of his hands or batted away before he could do anything the scorekeeper could recognize as him passing the ball.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Tuesday, 25 April 2017 23:16 (seven years ago) link
kind of skeptical of that list tbh. cp3 has 10 turnovers but only 3 passing turnovers, so...hes been stripped 7 times? stepped out of bounds?

And sometimes, they've just eaten the switch. Thomas is 5-9, but he's stronger than brutes anticipate. "He's a tough, stocky little dude," said Miami's James Johnson, who formed one of the league's best wing-point guard pick-and-roll tandems this season with Goran Dragic. "He gets low. And when you try to back him down, he pulls the chair on you. He's got a lot of antics."

― nomar, Wednesday, 26 April 2017 21:08 (six years ago) link
i think as a person there isn't an issue, but given his physical limitations (6 feet tall, short arms, and can't really jump) he has to exploit every advantage he can think of. this leads to some cool stuff (clock management, defensive positioning, running the pick and roll better than anyone ever maybe) and some less cool stuff (flopping/trying to influence the referees, being questionably dirty, generally being humorless on the court)
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 26 April 2017 21:12 (six years ago) link
so the issue is with his style of play rather than him as a person. at least he has the lack of physicality excuse compared to like, dwyane wade
in sports i just tend to gravitate towards savants like cp3, joey votto, who understand the game better than anyone else and play a strategically interesting game. there are definitely some drawbacks to this that i try to be upfront about
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 26 April 2017 21:14 (six years ago) link
xp that gif nomar posted is an example, he's fouling a poor free throw shooter away from the ball without getting an intentional foul called (which would be foul shots + the opponent would retain possession). you can see how that kind of stuff can be tiring. but he's just trying to make the rules work for him and his team
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 26 April 2017 21:16 (six years ago) link
he's prone to tantrums. also he's the OG nut puncher. hes such and ass on the court but it's good for the league to balance that with the Conley's and what not.
Off the court he seems like a good enough guy/dad but you never know.

There's lots of ways to flop and be cheap that have nothing to do with the handcheck rules. Kobe didn't start flailing and wade didn't start falling down on jump shots because of hand check rules.

when a reigning champion team with very few roster changes loses in the second round, it is dramatic. either it's a BATTLE ROYALE, or END OF AN ERA, depending on how many games the series goes. so, embrace the storyline. there is always a storyline with bron, you know.

cant believe the Bucks almost pulled that off. that 10-0 stretch where the Raps didn't even get a shot off was insane, I've never seen anything like that. and they had like 4 missed FTs in that span too. not sure what Giannis was thinking at the end, I think he assumed the Bucks had a timeout ?? idk that was a weird decision.

i hope the clippers take this opportunity to move doc out of the GM chair or out of the franchise completely
a real GM could put a good team around the cp3/DJ combo if they embraced playing smaller and more spread out. that's a better & more competitive future for the team imo, but it would necessitate letting blake walk and signing certain types of players.
― J0rdan S., Monday, 1 May 2017 03:01 (six years ago) link
i think doc had value steadying the franchise post-sterling but it's in a place now where they could hire a real GM and operate more normally

― Spottie, Monday, 1 May 2017 05:57 (six years ago) link
their inability to find a single wing shooter is almost memphis-esque, tho mitigated obv by the presence of redick and also crawford. still, they could never really find anyone better than matt barnes for that spot. sad thing is that blake was shooting really well from three at the end of this year.

― J0rdan S., Monday, 1 May 2017 06:12 (six years ago) link
Given how rarely he shot it was just variance most likely and also less significant
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 1 May 2017 06:13 (six years ago) link
They invested a lot in Austin rivers when shooting guard was their only position with a good backup
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 1 May 2017 06:14 (six years ago) link
But hey I guess they're well prepared for Redick to leave this offseason
ultimately doc has just been really uncreative w/ the roster, they've been very guard heavy for like his whole tenure there but never really looked to flip any of that into wing help. the most they ever tried was like acquiring jeff green and drafting reggie bullock. meanwhile they traded for and re-signed austin rivers lol to be their fourth best guard.
i think it became clear especially in the last few seasons that they had zero chance of beating the warriors as they were constructed by they never made any attempt to combat that at all.

Ha I knew I was kicking your beehive but I honestly was trying to think of any. He's been great sometimes but I can't offhand recall a serious playoff asskicking along the lines of lebron dropping 24 straight on Detroit or going full terminator on the Celtics in 2011- maybe I'm just forgetting. But I think it's partly bc he has to play to his max all the time there's just not much more he can do especially when defenses have 5 to 7 straight games to focus on solving his tricks

if steph's game deteriorates quickly for whatever reason you could make a case for cp3 being better simply on longevity, but if his career has a long tail i think his career will be definitively better

― Spottie, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 16:53 (six years ago) link
i think even if you put the team and individual awards success behind, the magnitude of steph's offensive game is > cp3. so you have to a. put a lot of stock in point guard defense and b. cp3's defense above steph's to say that cp3 is >
again this assumes that steph's career plays out fairly normally

word. i don't believe he's the best offensive player of all time tho.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link
just checked that list and it's weird
― Spottie, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:04 (six years ago) link
Gallo above Harden/Curry... Calderon above Curry? Two defensive centers in the top 5, one of which is the worst free throw shooter of all time.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:06 (six years ago) link
(talking about active players only)
here's the thing about paul -- you can't find a metric or a framework that doesn't love him. (haralabob mentioned something like this in the recent simmons podcast.) every time a new framework comes out, whether it's PER, or win shares, or real plus-minus, every system basically thinks he's not only an elite player but one of the best ever. his stature will probably age well because it seems like whatever the next dominant framework is will recognize his greatness. it seems cliche at this point to say it, but he does things outside the box score that matter a ton. and he's one of the best defenders ever at his position
that said curry obviously is incredibly great and his peak is almost certainly better than paul's peak. throw in a couple more rings and it's going to be hard to deny him a spot ahead of chris. but i just hope people realize when his career is over that paul was one of the 15 or 20 best players ever.
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:07 (six years ago) link
ftr i don't think offensive rating is a great stat (simmons loves it for some reason tho simmons really does not get stats) but the players on the top of that list definitely tend if be great offensive players
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:08 (six years ago) link
dont disagree w that at all xp
― Spottie, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:12 (six years ago) link
guys like gobert, deandre, and tyson chandler perenially being on those ORTG leaderboards always confused me and i used to chalk it up to lineup effects and multicollinearity but when you listen to guys inside the league they all stress how important setting good picks and being a rim-runner are. def feels like those are underappreciated attributes
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:13 (six years ago) link
elite alley oop finishers seem like they'll always inherently be rated highly by efficiency based metrics since they only take shots with like an 80% chance of going in, which i think emphasizes that even advanced metrics are still somewhat limited, since we know that rim running is a helpful skill, we just don't know *how* much... and it's probably not that much. but maybe it is!
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:16 (six years ago) link
yeah they are good players for sure and fine offensive players but like MJ is number 17 on that list...
― Spottie, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:17 (six years ago) link
ORTG doesn't take into account fg% tho, it's just +/- while the player is on offense. which speaks to outside-the-box score stuff in players like those who average 10-12 points a game
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:17 (six years ago) link
but i just hope people realize when his career is over that paul was one of the 15 or 20 best players ever.
this seems to be at the heart of all your CP arguments, fair enough. hopefully you know ILH is smart enough to realize this.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:18 (six years ago) link
but yeah agreed ORTG has flaws. i think the best current metric is RPM, tho it's not perfect either and needs to be supplemented with other stats and the eye test for sure

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 2 May 2017 17:26 (six years ago) link
yeah i was just thinking generally we all agree he's one of the best to do it. Not sure what number i would put him at this point but he's still got lots of years left.

seems to me that continuation has become the default call and non-shooting has become the exception call and that this was true before things like the rip through and the screen-three pointer foul came into vogue.
these seem to be called fairly consistently which is fine but i hope the league changes things up this summer b/c we're going a little too far with this stuff.

well, i completely overestimated the rox. so, looks like it will be 20+ wins for each team. who's got the more sustainable advantages? is kawhi enough of an advantage on his own to tilt it to the spurs? i still go with the rox though it clearly won't be as easy as it looked earlier.

On January 24, 2015, both Markieff and Marcus Morris found themselves involved with two aggravated assault cases as five different men (including the twins and former Baltimore Ravens safety Gerald Bowman) allegedly assaulted a 36-year-old man named Eric Hood outside of the Nina Mason Pulliam Recreation Center in Phoenix, Arizona.[41] Hood had previously mentored the Morris twins from high school until the end of their college careers, while the brothers would beat Hood up for "sending an inappropriate text message" to their mother.

that was obv a huge block from manu but pop can't be happy about him leaving his feet to contest that shot from behind, since he probably fouls harden more often than he blocks the shot
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 14:22 (six years ago) link
yeah i had the same thought, he was really lucky the timing was right
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 15:00 (six years ago) link

harden def looked like he stuck out his butt and flailed a little after the block, if manu doesn't get ball harden might get the call
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 15:35 (six years ago) link
the block was appropriate tho as manu is actually harden's dad in many ways

sensing a mini-trend where PGs spend so much time with the ball these days that in a playoff game with intensity and short benches even guys whose conditioning is good are running out of gas. same thing happened to wall in game 2.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 15:44 (six years ago) link
also if manu hadn't attempted that block harden was getting a clean, very wide open look at a three. i wonder what the expected points would look like for him taking that shot vs taking three free throws. if harden had a worse look i'd be more willing to buy kevin's argument.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:11 (six years ago) link
yeah i was thinking abt the same also what are the chances of fouling my back of the envelope linear regression concluded that going for the block and not going for the block were of roughly equal value but then when i factored in sporting triumph and not being a fn coward nerd going for the block was clearly the superior play
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:16 (six years ago) link
harden shoots 85% from the line (let's say 80% given fatigue), so the chance that he scores 3 points to tie is (0.8)^3 or 51%. if you give him 85% the chances of him tying from the line go up to 61%. plus there's the possibility you foul him on the shot and he gets a 4 point play opportunity
versus he shoots 35% from 3
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:23 (six years ago) link
the hard part is whatre the chances of success/fouling on the block attempt tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:34 (six years ago) link
yeah but you can't figure the chances of blocking successfully are too high esp for an old guy like manu
not saying i didn't love the play just saying i'm sure pop said something. i think standard coaching up 3 is to contest but avoid fouling
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:41 (six years ago) link

His position was prime tho to block the shot. Directly behind takes away the chance of hitting arm by a pretty significant margin. If I was pop I'd be more mad about the end of regulation. Which lol he was

yeah this was the other thing i was gonna say. it's the most advantageous position to attempt a blocked shot, and also the way harden shoots he keeps the ball right above his head. it was basically teed up for manu, literally.

what ever happened to blatt btw i haven't thought of him in months
seeing durant curse out the jazz mascot for no reason reminded me of bron's first year in miami when he was embracing the villain role all year and then basically had a mental breakdown in the finals vs the mavs
i tend to agree w/ "durant makes the warriors practically unbeatable" but if steph is shaky in the finals again and klay kinda disappears, we'll see how KD reacts to this specific sort of pressure being put on his shoulders

The 2017 Euroleague playoffs are upon us. The new 30-game regular season was very successful in terms of week-to-week entertainment, and it helped narrow the field from 16 teams to eight. Now, a best-of-five series and two single-elimination victories stand between one team and a Euroleague title. Last year, that team was CSKA Moscow, who swept Crvena Zvezda, and then won two absolute wars with Lokomotiv Kuban and Fenerbahce to capture their third Euroleague championship.
They’re back to try to make it four this year, but first, they’ll have to run through what should be a deeper playoff field than we had last season. CSKA comes in as the No. 2 seed, and they’ll have to face off with fellow 2016 Final Four participant Baskonia in the first round. Real Madrid usurped the Russians as the top seed, riding a 14-2 run into the playoffs. They get “Blatt BC,” as David Blatt’s Darussafaka Dogus squad snuck into the playoffs on the final day with a win over Crvena Zvezda.

before he got injured, he was getting some good minutes and had some performances. prediction: if he can shoot >40% from 3, he will make at least one all start team. he's got the prototype NBA body (6'5" tall and long arms) and hes fast and he's being coached by pop.

zach lowe it was my understanding the bulls didnt want to make this kind of trade
Boston would have almost no chance against Cleveland, and the "almost" is generous. Swap, say, Crowder, Marcus Smart, and a Nets pick for Butler, and the odds of an upset get better.

yeah seems like he has a p good setup there + they can offer him a lot more money, only wild cards are what if hes madly in love with brad, and if the celtics succeed in trading for another star the celtics wld be a much better team than the jazz, and he wld escape the horrors of having to play the dubs in the second round

haberstroh:
Pull up data on NBA.com and you'll see that Harden dragged along at a snail's pace in Game 6 with an average speed of 3.36 miles per hour. That was the slowest of any player that played at least 10 minutes in the game.It gets worse, the next slowest guy, Eric Gordon, registered 3.97 miles per hour, according to the player tracking data, which means that Harden was moving 50 feet per minute slower than the next slowest guy. Consider the tickling fact that Jonathon Simmons could have stood in place for six straight minutes on the floor and he still would have covered more ground than Harden in equal minutes.

i'm sorry he just has to like.....do more. his stats outside of shooting accuracy are just sorta fine, i don't think anyone really cares about shooting accuracy as far as hof case, he needs to either win a bunch or have a really long career and i'm betting against long career.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 23:02 (six years ago) link
If bron becomes a GM, klay would get signed to a two-year at age 38.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 17 May 2017 14:10 (six years ago) link
the one thing is that he feels a bit underwhelming to me as a primary ballhandler/scorer when wall is on the bench. i think in the regular season they can prob get away w/ it but now that they have realistic conference final aspirations i think they could really use a lou williams/jamal crawford type guard for when wall sits.

dubs have had trouble containing kwahi and simmons driving into the lane ... not sure that bodes well when they meet lebron. iguodala was awesome during the last part of the year when durant was out. but not so much in the playoffs. i think dray will foul out if they play him too much against lebron.
also not been convinced that durant's defense is as good as it was before his injury. with the way the cavs are playing offense, durant and iguodala are going have to be sharper.

like, it's unspursy to cut bait this quick. but this reminds me of a high key richard jefferson situation where it was just a bad fit. we ended up trading him to lol the warriors for an aging stephen jackson who had some good minutes against the thunder in the playoffs that year the thunder beat the spurs to go to the finals. i don't think LMA will get dropped for peanuts, but they won't be able to get "market value" or whatever.

there will be teams with cap space who strike out with big names who need to make moves. lma was signed before the big jumps in the salary cap, so $21m a year for 2 years for a guy who can put up 18/8 consistently (and probably more if he's the primary option) isn't the worst deal you could make.

Yeah an 18/8 guy on a pre cap jump contract is not bad for many teams especially if he's a third banana or whatever, pop is a genius but just too many wheels are coming off right now for him to work his usual magic and expecting lamarcus to suddenly play like an MVP candidate is too much

yeah there are a bunch of spurs fans who have hated him from jump (shea serrano probably being the poster child) and i still see him being valuable, but if trading him means we can clear cap space for cp3, byeeeeeee

Not particularly traumatized by this one even if it had turned out to be a sweep, it's so clear this Cs team is short a first or second option and just a little too overloaded with small guards/wings, and absurdly clear that lebron is (last night aside) still a fully rested terminator with REACH NBA FINALS MODE engaged
Game 6 in 2012 I think was way more traumatic when he just emotionlessly ripped control of the series back and basically ended the kg-pierce era save the formality of game 7

O’Neal then held up his chicken wing with intent: “You gonna do what?”. That seemed to break the tension and the show carried on without any poultry-based injuries. O’Neal, however, did get in one more shot: “[Barkley] don’t know nothing about that, he only went to the finals once,” he mumbled.

Looks like Bron is playing hard for GOAT status right now. Dubs in 4 or 5 would be a blow against his claim to the throne over the Ghost Of Chicago. Dubs in 6 or 7 would muddy the argument. Cavs victory would maybe cement it for him? All this is kinda pointless and hypothetical but I feel like it matters to the players when they're on the court.

iirc KG did that in his younger days too
yeah part of the weird thing w/the OKC years was how durant would always walk hunched around and westbrook would wear these crazy lifts, so for years everyone thought durant was 6'2" and that westbrook was 7'4"
― nomar, Saturday, 27 May 2017 18:22 (six years ago) link
i think westbrook's game really exploded this year when he felt free to be his own height and Druant's psyche really improved when Dray told him to not be ashamed of being a tall man.

bless hart, he seems to love poker, but he is...not good lol
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 May 2017 21:44 (six years ago) link
hart is a pokerstars endorser idk if theyre paying the whole 300 or what but he cld be free rolling fwiw
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:10 (six years ago) link
RIP bob lol
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:16 (six years ago) link
yeah that's abt as bad a situation you can be in
― Clay, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:17 (six years ago) link
cldve folded
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:20 (six years ago) link
like what wld the other guy be bluffing with there
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:21 (six years ago) link
idk i prob call in that situation 9 times out of 10, but i am a pr mediocre live player lol
― Clay, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:22 (six years ago) link
kevin hart's watch is intense
it was kind of a weird spot, probably should have raised the flop multiway, 2 pair is one of the better hands you're going to have in that sitch considering you just called the flop. can prob find fold button there tho for sure
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:24 (six years ago) link
yeah trapping w top two threeway there was borderline but prob an ok play on a p dry board
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:26 (six years ago) link
he prob wasnt getting that guy off that draw w any at all normal size bet anyway
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:27 (six years ago) link
yeah the more i think abt it the more it's a fold. best case the guy's doing a v weird bluff, i prob woulda talked myself into thinking he hit trip 3's on the turn and gotten away from it
― Clay, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:27 (six years ago) link
being on the ladder cld argue for the fold there too
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:28 (six years ago) link
yeah he cldve had all the sets there
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:29 (six years ago) link
overpairs hes prob just calling

― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:31 (six years ago) link
yeah just started, he was the first one out lol
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:32 (six years ago) link
the field is preposterously stacked btw
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:33 (six years ago) link
lol one wld expect
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:33 (six years ago) link
busting out first and then hellmuth taking your seat is some extreme insult to injury
― Clay, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:35 (six years ago) link
i saw a photo of cp3 at a poker table recently, if there's one NBA dude who could be a solid player it's def him
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:35 (six years ago) link
that call is a lot more reasonable at the start of the tourney tho
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:36 (six years ago) link
frees up your day i guess
― Clay, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:37 (six years ago) link
he seemed pretty tilted lol
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:37 (six years ago) link
lol hellmuth despite regularly crushing tourneys that arent primarily stacked with the best players cant stay away from elite games just cause he has a chip on his shoulder
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:43 (six years ago) link
kevin hart is playing every hand
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:53 (six years ago) link
lol ok im going outside
he likes to limp haha
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:55 (six years ago) link
hart is a pretty standard bad home game type player from what i can tell
― Clay, Sunday, 28 May 2017 22:58 (six years ago) link
he's not horrendous but his level of play is definitely very basic
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 May 2017 23:08 (six years ago) link
hellmuth about to get coolered
― k3vin k., Monday, 29 May 2017 00:01 (six years ago) link
