2017 NBA OFFSEASON

for real tho, it's one of the least palatable part of so many players' games

Just submitted a post on Kawhi for @FanRagNBA. Wish I could have found space for this awesome @bball_ref stat: https://t.co/kbfVOyP465 pic.twitter.com/K76vfs5pxj

i hope cracking down on shooters creating contact leads to the elimination of the charge !

(the standing stationary charge, which is also related to reckless closing out!)

otm

Barnes has spent the summer working on his playmaking for exactly this reason. He has set an informal goal of averaging three assists per game, he told ESPN.com. "It's something I have to do better," he said.

wow, dare to dream harry

haha

melo rumors

it would be funny if the cavs got significantly worse this year lol

that is my prediction btw, no finals for the cavs, book it

not that hard to imagine that Kyrie leaving would make them worse

they kind of suck outside lebron and one of these days he's not going to be able to go nuclear at will

if bron's already decided to leave the cavs i could see him really half-assing the regular season

maybe. but not the offs. he's too vain to dick around during the playoffs.

even if he werent injured isaiah wld be unlikely to match last years career best season where he roughly played a standard kyrie season, and hes injured

if he doesnt find his form this season the cavs r screwed

calling last year's isiah season a standard kyrie season strikes me as very generous to kyrie but i'd have to look at the numbers again

that had p similar numbers, isaiah was better but by that much, kyrie also kinda had his best year, but considering their ages and career trajectories seems like a reasonable assumption that kyries can continue keep last years pace and improve where it was prob a career year for isaiah

feel like there's a huge usage gulf between kyrie and isaiah too--a lot of what isaiah did comes from how much of the offense he had to carry (which is a credit to him, it was amazing to see).

yeah he had a crazy year, but kyrie is better

also i suspect that offense the celtics had going to isaiah will suit kyrie just fine

tho obvs itll be a lil diff since theyve got hayward now and all the rest of the players are different too

i think isaiah last year was a clear class above where kyrie's ever been, at least in terms of regular season production

their numbers were preeetty similar

he pretty throughly owns him in all the advanced stats (except real plus minus tbf)

advanced stats r dum and bad

naw they are not dumb, and good actually

hmm sounds like you reached that conclusion using advanced stats

*checks the numbers*
confirmed
*dunks on u*

a basket made of numbers, sry not a real thing

lagoon i am a fan of advanced stats since they tell us things we cannot possibly see with our eyes #dataisbeautiful #visualizedata

love to visualize myself swimming in the ocean of data

let's hoop, guys

iirc IT had the most efficient high volume scoring season in the history of point guards.... it wasn't a standard kyrie season

i still need to adjust my reality for kyrie homerism bleeding into the posts of our board's beloved celtics fans

my opinion is still that lebron will let kyrie & the celtics beat him for the finals over his dead body
