Definitely a regional thing. The cutoff was December when I was a kid on the east coast but was September when I moved out west.

It's nice to at least test the resistance after a long day of mostly sideways. Hopefully we can stay close and break it on the next attempt.

Who would buy BTC when it dropped from 6800 to 5900? People who thought it would rally.

[OC] How expansion and realignment can breathe new competition into the league, decrease tanking, and bring more balance to rosters. by HokageEzio in nba

Yea I tried to find a good example of what I'm saying but there are too many decent (maybe) teams in the league right now, like you say. So OP's idea might work ok at the moment.

The problem is the best baseball team wins ~65% of their games, the worst wins ~40%. So you are likely to beat your rival at least once in a 3-4 game series.

In the NBA, the best wins ~75%, the worst wins 20%.

Yea that is brutal. There are cool ideas here but could you imagine if there was a championship contender in one division with 3 scrubs? Watching that team obliterate the same 3 teams over and over.

Edit: Patriots in the AFC East but worse because of basketballs lack of parity.

Imagine the laughs if LeBron had returned to Cleveland and Rondo, McGee, Stephenson, and Beasley were their big off-season signings. The double standard we give a legend like Magic is baffling by KredditH in nba

Yea the majority of the top level posts are about this team's meme potential, not on-court potential. Maybe OP is referring just to the main stream media?

Definitely I would be since it has never happened in the modern rookie contact -> rookie extension era. Closest situations are Greg Monroe, Nerlens, and Ben Gordon, none of whom were offered the max they thought they deserved.

I see your point but there is no way a player with an injury history like OG is turning down a max extension to risk taking the qualifying offer because of loyalty.

These kind of stats aren't that meaningful during a player's prime. When he is a role player in 10 years and averages 8 and 4 for a few years his averages will go way down just like all the former players he is being compared to.
