2015 NBA 'OFFS

if i ever pitched a logo to a sports team my caption would be like "this looks cool"

always interested in empowering design design elements with verbal communication standards, thanks clips for finally catering to my demo

their whole job is to be up the ass of business which is why the outcomes are so bad the decision makers have no design expertise

like that company is no doubt fully capable of coming up with something good but this is what they arrived at after endless meetings with ppl who work for a company owned by one of the key players in

Fun stats: In NBA history, only 11 teams with losing records have made the playoffs. All of them have lost in the first round. All of them have come from the Eastern Conference.

Does new scheme mean Roy Hibbert will be benched, Vogel said: "Possibly."
"Roy's role will be diminished."
There it is again.

crazy

wow

:/

they're basically telling him to opt out

celtics shd pick him and love up :]

I dunno man feel like his depression might not immediately disappear even on a new team but celts def need rim protection

buy low man, brad seems p good at putting guys int he right spot basketball and personally wise too

im not sure how low you're gonna be able to buy on roy hibbert

don't the celtics wanna play faster and spread the court anyway?

feel like brad n danny r not ideological

logo branding copy is secretly some of the lamest shit of all time

"Using the colloquial LA will resonate in a profound way with a younger demographic. Not only does this rule differentiate and elevate the clippers from other Los Angeles sports franchises, it empowers the LAC design element with a verbal communication standard"

I live in this world and I do my honest to god best to be as blunt and straight forward as possible in our presentations. Fluff is the worst. Luckily I work for people that would laugh at me if I tried to pull some nonsense like that.

Sounds like a proactive and synergistic place to work, Spottie.

PS if Lebron had gone to the GSWs, they'd have been even more mortal locks for the finals, but he took the coward's way out instead.

wldve been the best team ever

i wish you guys would use the fashion thread to talk about design stuff -_-

um design is not fashion hello

someone tell me that clippers jersey is not real

it cannot be real

well its a leak so it cld just be a proposal/work in progress etc

clippers logo was driving me nuts and i finally realized what it's reminding me of

probably my fave thing about ilh other than the great posters is the digressive nature, and I will endlessly encourage it sorry kev.

forks, that leads us naturally to this nonsense.

sterling was the smoke beast all along, i see, i see

my friend found 3.2:1 odds for the cavs title chances. i'm looking at where the lines are now and i don't really love any of them

bovada sez both them and golden state have 11/5 odds

I guess now's a good time to mention that back in July when I was hootin' and hollerin' about LeBron coming back, I happened to be in Vegas and I put a huge wager on the Cavs winning the NBA Finals at 25:1. I really hope they don't let me down.

(i dont know shit about gambling thats just the first sports book that came up in google)

NBA Championship odds: @Warriors 48%, @Cavs 21%, @Spurs 12%, @LAClippers 8%, @ATLHawks 5%: http://53eig.ht/1GUkSQF

I hate the way a lot of 538 articles contain stats and observations about those stats with no regard for immediate context. Never get a sense that these people are talking about something they've actually watched.

good luck, snrub

yeah i mean thats kinda the whole point of their approach xp bring yr own context lol

I would definitely hedge your bet at some point snrub, at least in the finals

xp
Nah there's always context and the stats and observations are largely informed by what they choose to ignore/include.

Using single-season stats as a basis for these predictions when a lot of rosters change drastically half way through doesn't seem sensible to me.

The Nets may have been the worst team to make the playoffs looking at the season as a whole but that fact that they've recently improved with Lopez healthy and finished the season 13-6 isn't reflected in that.
