billionaire techbros club - 2016-17 NBA regular-ass season thread (the first of a series)

http://i.imgur.com/q6soYAg.png

its sad, there are so few threads for you in the internet. the other day i was like wow i am so lucky to live in america but then i remember that i am a multi-millionaire and my billionaire brothers are out here struggling to post content. never standing for the pledge or national anthem or any of that wack shit, fuck america

for real though i am excited to watch the spurs infants, like half the team is under the age of 30 and im not used to having so many children. i feel like the old woman who lived in the shoe.

LeBron James says he didn't have any input in the design of the Cavs championship rings. "I'm just fortunate enough to be a part of three championship teams so far in my career," James said at shootaround Tuesday. "It's not like I'm going to be wearing it like a wedding band or things of that nature, so I'm just happy to be able to be a part of another ring ceremony, be able to have a ring for my archives. But as far as aesthetics and things of that nature, it doesn't matter."

he's unstoppable

haha

I forgot to add to my post last week about lebrons basketball computer mind generating a way to climb out of the 3-1 hole in the finals- I actually really believe that Lebron is walking around using like 1% of his mental capacity on things like talking and whatever else we all think about and the remaining 99% is background-processing basketball stuff. So his responses to questions are basically on autopilot and thus a phrase like "things of that nature" just gets churned out automatically so it seems like he's talking to you but really he's thinking about how to solve a particular defense he saw in a game seventeen months ago

lebron is scarlett johansson in lucy and will eventually become godlike, formless basketball intelligence, doling out his skills to others at random whim

nah, he's just a messy little bitch quit foolin yourselves.

porque no las dos?

Andrew Bogut ✔@andrewbogut
It seems the accounts that are offended by my following of all political demographics are SJW's. Any good SJW accounts out there? #oxymoron

Hollow Ween Fan @T_nels
.@andrewbogut at least the Social Justice Warriors didn't blow a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals

Cavaliers will waive C Larry Sanders and sign C Edy Tavares, who spent season playing for Raptors' D-League team -

maybe all these moves won't work out after all

I had no idea Tavares was a free agent, that would have been a very interesting move earlier in the season

In "clutch time" (defined as a five-point game inside five minutes), Westbrook leads the league in points per 100 possessions (74.3), shooting 44.6 percent from the field and OKC is a plus-21.7 per 100 possessions with him on the court in such situations.

All clutch stats are pure variance really. Even with the massive usage sample for Westbrook.

It would be amusing if Gobert won dpoy after somehow not being the all-star on his team

some CP stuff

― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Tuesday, April 11, 2017 5:24 PM (yesterday)

love this article

the game theory stuff is sick, he's so smart

love this too

These opportunities don't just materialize. They develop. Their roots stretch back over seconds or minutes or entire quarters – if not further. When they were in New Orleans together, Paul used to call up now-Nuggets coach Mike Malone on off-nights to riff on the latest in League Pass. His Clipper teammates say Paul is liable to ask if they saw some random move from a completely irrelevant preseason game. "All I do is watch basketball," Paul said. "Seriously."

if paul hadn't missed that time he'd be legitimately in the MVP discussion

It's strange how Paul has become so underrated. I despise him so it doesn't bother me but it's really dumb.

Like I'm seeing people arguing that Lillard is better, come on

CP3 is a Ty Cobb / Pete Rose kind of figure. He's HOF 1st ballot material, but he is easy to despise.

untimely injuries have hurt his standing quite a bit. also his box scores rarely wow the layman

haha matt i didn't know you hated cp3, i thought you were love the sinner hate the sin with him

It's strange how people decided that this is the shameless flopper they'd hate tho. It's about the lack of titles I guess.

I don't think there's anyone who flops as much as CP3 that I like other than Rodman.
