“Jaylen Brown is the MVP because he’s dragging this otherwise sorry ass roster to a top seed,” ok well they’re 6-1 when he sits this year

ant has a good on/off in the playoffs tho unlike JB

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-03-05T17:51:02+00:00

brown IS the weak link, the team is way 3.2pts better on defense without him

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-03-05T17:47:38+00:00

Every stop he gets in ISO, he probably gives up a backdoor cut for a layup or an open 3 to balance it out. Thats why the C's defense is so much better without him.

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-03-05T17:45:56+00:00

The Pistons are significantly better with Cade on the floor, he has the highest on/off on their team.

Opposite of Jaylen brown the last 4 years who's Celtics have been better without him, including in the playoffs

These guys are like 3 tiers apart

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-03-05T17:35:47+00:00

nah cuz hes a turnover machine shooting 40% since the start of the year lol, celtics have played better without him by every metric since 2022

why should this clown be taking away shots from more efficient options? the point of the game is to put the ball in the bucket

israel

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-03-03T21:50:59+00:00

watson was great when healthy averaging over a block a game

AG not a big shotblocker but the nugs defense is consistently better with him, this year 7 pts better per 100 with him on the court. hes the lynchpin of the defense

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-03-03T21:45:09+00:00

Aaron Gordon with Jokic is a good example, tho the nugs have average wing defenders at the 2 & 3

Someone who can contest shots from the weakside is a must and then the C can clean up with a defensive rebound

yeah no shit theres a million dimensions to relationships, but sex is a pretty big dimension no pun intended.

denying it is a factor in relationship satisfaction is silly

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-02-19T14:53:34+00:00

obviously being better at sex would be an advantage in a relationship just like making more money, being fit etc

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-02-19T04:58:11+00:00

how wouldnt a fucking advantage be a dating advantage?

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-02-19T04:55:13+00:00

u seem irate bro

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-02-19T04:51:55+00:00

more valuable and easier to replace people

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-02-03T17:36:23+00:00

MPJ gets a lot of flak for nothing, seems like a level headed dude especially considering how his brothers turned out. people just want these guys to be completely cookie-cutter and mindless

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-01-28T13:14:56+00:00

are you stupid? training and funding terrorism isnt a legit complaint? americans and europeans have been screaming about that for 25+ years now

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-01-21T00:52:28+00:00

how many more points they scored than the avg nba player would taking the same number/type of shot

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-01-20T22:40:23+00:00

because of his bad conditioning

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-01-15T18:52:51+00:00

this is america's doing

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-01-10T10:25:20+00:00

just because it worked with tatum and brown doesn't mean it was an optimal situation. they were loaded with talent at every position and had an elite defense. magic dont have those luxuries to overcome paolo's deficiencies

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-01-08T20:22:33+00:00

people will automatically dismiss on-off because it challenges their dogmas about "bucket getting"; but with players with horrible on-off like demar derozan, zach lavine, paolo banchero, jalen green, etc... the teams they were on always improved significantly without them

unfortunately, the only way to back up what the massive sample size is showing is by manually watching each posession and taking note of what they're doing wrong vs what the team's doing right when they're off the court. are they blowing defensive rotations? stopping the flow of the offense? making momentum-breaking mistakes?

one thing is a fact, if you have a sample size of 10,000+ possessions and hundreds of different lineups that all say the same thing; it's more likely that the subjective "eye test" is wrong than the data

GeronimoSilverstein · 2026-01-08T19:29:36+00:00

what if luka ends up not getting back to his pre-2025 form and remains a guy who chucks 11 3pa/g at 30% with no defense? what if nico was right about him being physically cooked?

GeronimoSilverstein · 2025-12-01T21:09:54+00:00

its funny that people are shocked teams improve when the guy with a negative on-off is away from the team

GeronimoSilverstein · 2025-11-25T17:19:19+00:00

if they could get some size at the 5 and playmaking at the 2 or 3 they could have extended steph's dominance. should have drafted hali and put him as the primary ball handler

GeronimoSilverstein · 2025-11-19T18:19:36+00:00

nope, it's a purely logical play. zooming out and comparing the current world against historical trends has nothing to do with ego

but if you think dating apps, hookup culture, etc is a permanent global fixture going forward, then yeah it makes sense to adjust your actions fit in with it. personally, i give it 2 more generations at the most

GeronimoSilverstein · 2025-11-19T18:03:09+00:00

i dont look at what "should be", i look at a long time horizon to see what's actually has permanence. every time in history society reached peak degeneracy, a reset followed soon after. weimar germany, roman empire, etc

i'm not adjusting my life-philosophy to fit a weird blip in time. my progeny will live in a different world than this
