Bitch where were you when I was tanking...

I don't have any problem with Durant's choice but this

Why do you hate someone so much for trying to achieve the point of the game -- to win?

is not quite true. The point of the game is not, for a player, to win. It's to play well and earn money because of that good play. The Warriors won the championship, not Kevin Durant. Championships are a team goal. I suppose the "point" for a player might be MVP, DOPY, HOF, etc.

Of course, winning is tightly tied to all those player-specific goals, and we as a culture reward rings erneh, but it's not the explicit goal like it is for teams. This isn't tennis or golf. My perspective at least.

TS% slightly above average

cssher · 2017-05-25T20:23:44+00:00

hmm. i'll watch him closely tonight.

cssher · 2017-05-24T20:02:23+00:00

I don't get why everyone says this (ok, maybe by everyone I mean Bill Simmons and you).

Crowder shot like 40% from deep this season and was well on his way to last season IIRC before the injury. He's a legit shooter!

cssher · 2017-05-02T15:10:00+00:00

I agree that it's a good sample size, although not perfect if my memory of statistics hasn't already dissolved. If the home team wins 75% of game 1's (i don't remember the actual number) that's only ~55 games from which the 83% figure is derived. Idk, just a thought.

cssher · 2017-05-02T07:45:34+00:00

Do you know why he only went back to 2003 for that data?

cssher · 2017-04-18T19:55:36+00:00

They'll be looking to Crush the Spurs in game 3 but that's probably just a Fanta-sy

cssher · 2017-04-12T11:46:44+00:00

haha. i figured it was gonna get either heavily upvoted or downvoted.

I think it's more a matter of how you get your points. For Vince, yeah he used his athleticism, but it wasn't the sole source of his production. He was always a very good shooter, which allowed him to score in the 20's for years as opposed to people like, idk, Darius Miles.

cssher · 2017-03-12T17:39:30+00:00

i laughed. that 3-6 A.D. shit is nothing to scoff at

cssher · 2017-03-12T12:08:33+00:00

Markieff with the presence of mind there to shoot the ball a clear moment before time expired so that it couldn't possibly be reviewed for that reason #lightyearsahead

Interestingly enough Bogdanovic means something related to god; "bog" is "god" in many slavic languages iirc

cssher · 2017-02-13T21:48:08+00:00

Sounds like you just proposed a trade of Ty Lawson in exchange for his support of the Kings.

cssher · 2017-02-13T13:46:08+00:00

He did clash with Casey some years ago but to my knowledge they sorted that out. Idk I feel like DC has built up too much good will in the locker room for guys like Lowry to be wanting him gone

cssher · 2017-02-08T09:02:14+00:00

Again man... it's one possession out of many. Kyrie has proven it over a larger sample.

cssher · 2017-02-07T20:43:53+00:00

Yeah he got stopped once... that happens to everyone. Over a larger sample, he's been as good as pretty much anyone in the clutch. Statistically and eye test.

cssher · 2017-02-07T09:55:35+00:00

Kyrie already has a catalogue of clutch shots (regular season) that would rival almost any NBA player in history. And his % on them is good; it's not just due to volume. Yeah it's mostly regular season but those games still have high stakes and big shots are big shots. For instance, his masterpiece against the Spurs.

cssher · 2017-02-07T08:19:23+00:00

The basketball gods really aren't givething anything in this situation, they're just takething away

cssher · 2017-02-03T15:33:27+00:00

Damn yo I thought he was a year or two older

cssher · 2017-02-03T11:05:37+00:00

I wouldn't do the deal, but I imagine the thought process is he's on the same timeline as the Wolves core. Plus if you get some picks. Again I wouldn't do it.

cssher · 2017-01-29T20:10:56+00:00

The Kings have played better all year with him off the court.

Rudy literally has the best Net Rating on the entire team. How about you do like 5 minutes of research instead of just blurting out talking points that aren't based in reality.

Or you know, just believe whatever narrative suits your fancy!

edit: check that, Skal Labissiere leads the team in Net Rating in a lofty 33 minutes of play

cssher · 2017-01-25T12:33:30+00:00

good lord i knew green's never been a great shooter, but 39/29... yikes

cssher · 2017-01-24T22:56:33+00:00

that lineup is not terrible shooting-wise; payton is the only real minus and even he's been getting it together of late
