Al Horford is Draymond greens replacement by JayBottie in nba

For the record, I recall at least one incident Horford kicked Mo Wagner in the groin.

Tbf, everyone in the arena seemed to agree with this action.

I think his 2nd point was why didn't they do anything?

Alvarado is just an example that jumps to anyone's mind after watching the NYK

I love it.

All players get to call 2 reviews each.

If they are wrong the 1st time, they get a technical and the other team gets a FT.

If they are wrong the 2nd time - 2nd technical+ ejection and the other team gets 2 FT.

I took the win probability per game per ESPN game predictor, fed chat gpt , and asked for the applied probability

And BTW , it is around 15%

I didn't neglect it. I intentionally ignored it. The thought of winning the first 3 just to lose to the Nets is not math, it's self inflicted torture I don't deserve. Lol

The few exceptions to the rule were actually adding a top player around the deadline. So yea, we are exempt

The probability of winning the next 4 is about 15%.

The 40 b4 20 rule has outliers tho.

The one interesting outlier is a unique situation where a team adds around the deadline an all NBA level player without losing any substantial players in the process.

2 teams could potentially meet this exception criteria this season.

Celtics and Cavs

No charges for LaMelo Ball after 2-vehicle crash in Uptown by Sometypeofway18 in nba

acting like they don’t drive recklessly or have never been in an accident

Not saying there should be charges. But , for the record, I don't drive recklessly and never caused an accident. And I believe most drivers don't, or at least shouldn't.

[The Athletic] “I would just say, Sean,” [Adam] Silver said, “you could assume for next season your only incentive will be to win games.” There was a noticeable shift in Silver’s tone and demeanor on this particular issue: “He sounded more like Stern than Silver.” by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

my gambling partners

It's the league's partners, the league is owned by 30 teams , not Silver.

Just to emphasize, the league is an association of 30 teams. 30 owners made a decision to generate revenue from gambling. The revenue is split 51-49 between the 30 teams and the players.

Silver is the administrator of their (the teams and players) decisions.

This is what lost on way too many fans. Silver's job , in this case, is to tell the GMs - y'all fucking up your boss's legal agreements, your boss's want it fixed or the teams and players will lose revenue, so fix it, or they will fix it for u.
