seems like melo and the media are talking this up a little too much. shoulda just slid under the radar so when he gets cut its not a big deal

idk why hes not just averaging 40 in china right now
Remember that guy on twitter who said melo was a top 10 player in 2018
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 16:53 (four years ago) link
he still thinks he's a top nba player. feel like this will be his last shot and then he goes overseas (or just enjoys the nearly 300+ million hes made thus far)

What I like about harden is that he cares about the regular season.
cares about winning reg season games or about getting reg season stats?

i just find it kinda fun that he plays every game and tries to put up insane numbers. i dont much like it in the basketball aesthetic sense cos i dont care for his style of play... and obv he hasnt gotten it to work all the way to a championship. But we are in a time when the reg season means less and less every year and he is still out there suiting up and dropping 40/10/10 on the regular. and as a junky who loves to watch regular season games, i appreciate it. one of the worst things to happen to the nba on many levels was the warriors going 73-9 and not winning the chip. they got clowned and now the regular season means even less. that season was so fun because they were trying to win every game like it was a playoff game., and everyone wanted to take them down.

Right they needed a center. And as bobby knight famously told them “play Jordan at center”

Everyone is acting like the regular season doesn’t matter but I feel like in the western conference it’s never mattered more

yes it matters but the teams at the top are more concerned with being right for the playoffs.
like kawhi is still gonna sit a bunch of games. jokic came in 30lbs overweight and checked out. all the load management headlines dominating is a bad look for casuals. dubs for the last two seasons basically saying out loud it doesnt matter. ratings are WAY down this year.
since russ got the mvp, regular season real greatness means less. numbers are inflated.

go down to 58 games and stop calling quite so many fouls imo

eliminate back to backs would be huge. you could do that and trim the season by like less than 10 games.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Tuesday, 19 November 2019 17:45 (four years ago) link
im not really sure what the number is to make each game count its prob lower than 58 but yeah eliminating back2backs wld be huge
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 17:50 (four years ago) link
also, just a thought but maybe the refs should call the game the same for regular season and playoffs.

on one hand regular season reffing has gotten too tight imo but on the other its allowed the little guys to thrive so im torn, obvs james harden has scientifically exploited the situation

I’ve decided Kawhi really does have something weird in his knees and can’t play 70 games even if he wanted to
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 18:06 (four years ago) link
chronic tendinitis

And yeah Jokic has been weird for the first 12 games but if they were 6-6 instead of 9-3 it would be a crisis

That’s what’s made it so fun to watch him win those games with big 4th quarters
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 18:08 (four years ago) link
66 games is the magic number where it gives a clean schedule (play your division 4x and everyone else 2x) and gets rid of back to backs but feels within reach from 82

I honestly like this era of 82 games but with most top players playing under 35mpg. Don’t really desire a change. But ratings are down and I’m sure they’re debating doing something.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 19:06 (four years ago) link
35mpg x 80 is still a lot more time in which for injuries to happen than 38mpg x 60 or whatever
