the best timeline is davis in boston pwning the raptors after kawhi signs a 5 year max deal also he gets injured and trues to sell new balance in myanmar and then there is a major look at his human rights record also KD goes to the spurs

(to clarify, we should really look at _kawhi's_ record on human rights)
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Tuesday, 11 December 2018 04:22 (five years ago) link
Kawhi believes human’s don’t have rights unless they sit out a year

wld prefer to see this current celtics team win rings and not make another superteam w davis, however wld prefer to see them win rings w davis than no rings w/o
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 18:30 (five years ago) link
making a superteam via trades is way more legit than via free agency tho

the core seven of the current team: 2 by trade, 2 by free agency, 3 by draft. what's the legitimacy quotient on that?
― fact checking cuz, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 18:46 (five years ago) link
5:2 legitimacy ratio, pretty good, and if they trade for brow who wld be their best player then its even better, prob hayward wld be in that trade too so then horf wld be the only free agent signing left, also most ppl werent even that impressed by picking him up but now theyre starting to appreciate the genius of horf, overall a pretty legit team, way more so than yr warriors or heat and so forth

lmao

I like the legitimacy ratio
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 11 December 2018 18:56 (five years ago) link
its one of the most innovative stats
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 19:09 (five years ago) link
we need a stat that measures a team's legitimacy ratio against a replacement level legitimacy ratio, weighted for market size, previous championships won, and number of times your gm has been fleeced by danny ainge.
― fact checking cuz, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 19:13 (five years ago) link
2008 celtics (the proto super team) was all homegrown or trades for a perfect legitimacy score of 100
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 19:13 (five years ago) link
hm the warriors have 4/1 ratio as their starting lineup. not bad
― Celtoes Adidas (Spottie), Tuesday, 11 December 2018 19:25 (five years ago) link
for the warriors its better to use our adjusted legitimacy ratio metric which takes into account that they added a top 5 player via free agency after putting up the best regular season record ever and blew a 3-1 finals lead, also factors in that the free agent is a lil bitch, the parking lot call will affect the score somewhat too
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 19:29 (five years ago) link
long story short our metric shows the warriors sullied pristine legitimacy resulting in a total bummer rating of 100 for the whole league
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 19:33 (five years ago) link
whatever suits your little homered narrative

gonna be weird when kd joins his bff kyrie after this season

congrats to the celtics for winning one title in the last 32 years :)
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 11 December 2018 20:10 (five years ago) link
wow warriors fans seem kind of sensitive about how they blew up a lovable entertaining home grown team to build a shallow mercenary squad with no chemistry that everyone hates
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 20:13 (five years ago) link
That reminds me of when the Celtics got Kyrie for nothing and still couldn't get past Tristan Thompson and the Cavs.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 11 December 2018 20:15 (five years ago) link
kinda a weird reading of that series might want to review "the facts"
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 20:17 (five years ago) link
poly otm obv. the celtics were lovable with IT2 then they sold their soul and bad karma has bitten them.
― Celtoes Adidas (Spottie), Tuesday, 11 December 2018 20:34 (five years ago) link
yeah, and now they've loaded up with ring chasers like horford and hayward. p embarrassing tbh
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 11 December 2018 20:35 (five years ago) link
and now desperate to add brow sheesh.
― Celtoes Adidas (Spottie), Tuesday, 11 December 2018 20:37 (five years ago) link
kyrie+horford celtics are cool dunno about hayward
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 20:43 (five years ago) link
no one would say that getting kyrie and horford and then playing all your draft picks is stacking the team
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 20:44 (five years ago) link
THIS is a bad ratio: stevie nicks, mike campbell, neil finn, christine mcvie, mick fleetwood, john mcvie.

i love to look at the espn basketball power index which has the boston celtics at #1 http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/Basketball-Power-Index/espn-nba-basketball-power-index
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 December 2018 21:37 (five years ago) link
538 which is dumb does not https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2019-nba-predictions/
btw i cant figure out what the deal is with 538s "full strength" index the celtics are rated way higher in that than they are in "current" but they havent had many injuries? perhaps its account for the fact that both kyrie and gordon are coming off big surgeries idk shit seems too black boxy overfit to be useful
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 December 2018 21:40 (five years ago) link
yeah I am puzzled by the 538 system too
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 12 December 2018 22:28 (five years ago) link
they should just have all the teams play basketball contests against one another to see who's better

basketball reference has "simple rating system" u have to sort by the srs column in the standings, top 3 teams are in the east lol https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2019_standings.html

SRS is just point differential adjusted for strength of schedule iirc

ok also 538s "pure elo" rating is almost exactly the same as their "full strength carmelo"
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 December 2018 23:55 (five years ago) link
yeah i’d go!
― k3vin k., Thursday, 13 December 2018 01:22 (five years ago) link
idgi*
i wonder if its not a bug piping the elo ratings into the carmelo full strength i actually didnt check if they were exactly the same
