i really want it to but imo its prob the third most likely number of games

hoping u r right!

Cavs in 4

OKC in 6

every game is gonna come down to steph making or missing a 35 footer obv
--Spottie

totally cool with this happening provided he makes 4 of them at the right times

dubs are an historically good team, but they need all their players for the offs and bogut is an important piece of the whole. dubs in 6 if bogut is back in action by game 3.

looking like he's gonna play tomorrow

then it could be 5 or 6. I'm a bit hesitant to commit to either, so i'll take the coward's way out and say both.

id take the over on 5.5. def super interested to see if the twin towers look will work for OKC. should be a fun first game

Nobody else wants to take OKC? C'mon, there's got to be another Steph hater.

im rooting for okc but i can't in good faith predict them to win

me too

i'll root for okc but i think it'll take more than bogut's injury for them to win

rooting for okc against gsw but mostly I want cle to win out so that the banana boat can happen

thx for that link Spottie. don't read editorials regularly but that was good stuff. The NBA IS exciting now!

I want D'Angelo Russell to post a candid vine of Luke Walton taking credit for all of the gsw's success

lmao yes

haha

Meanwhile, Curry said Sunday his knee hasn't improved much the past week and it will just be about ''pain tolerance'' and he expects to be able to handle his regular load and production.

:\

Glad obviously that he's going to play but, you know, worries.

He'll be fine as long as the okc ball boys are up to task but sounds like classic minor surgery the second the season is done

I think this is gsw in 6 or 7 but okc is gonna come in spitting fire I think

Foreseeing at least one ejection for Adams and/or draymond

draymo already has 4 techs, 7 for a suspension, I bet (hope and pray) he only gets 1 this series

Derrick Rose is bad, huh

would like to see a 3D plot with a salary axis

terrence jones had a down low insanely bad season

draymond green is better than lebron james

on defense

if you draw a line with -1 slope and move from the upper-right corner to the bottom-left, draymo crosses the line before anyone. therefore draymo is mvp imo.

obv

Barea island down there is cracking me up

No lie, I glanced at a couple of superstars before reading the axes and then found harden and lillard and knew which was defense

looks like curry has since jumped above kawhi and cp3. plot needs to be updated.

Wait it lists Nene, is he still playing??

Also Kevin Love being a better defender than Iggy is v suspect

Nene was on the wiz this year yeah

remember that rebounding is a major component of defense re: love

I hate Kevin Love let me hate him

Oh, I love nuggets!

harden and klay rated m/l the same on D there

advanced stats dont like klay's D (& have avery bradley as average) but guards are always at a disadvantage since again rebounding counts for a lot

like average guard D is well below average nba D by those DRPM stats

i know lets come up w a stat that heavily rewards the guys who stand closest to the basket this is a good idea

but also that doesnt explain why it likes klay and harden abt the same

harden w/ a lot more rebounds and steals than klay i guess

Kenny getting killed about the Rockets job. :D

harden w/ a lot more rebounds and steals than klay i guess

real plus minus, as far as i know, is box score independent. rebounds, blocks, steals are not inputs
