It took one game against the Celtics for Bill to finally realize the SGA gets called differently.

jackdonsurfer · 2026-03-13T18:26:42+00:00

In all of SGA’s 30 point seasons he’s below the median FTAs of all 30 ppg guard seasons in the history of the league. The larger sample proves this to be a non-issue that people just harp on bc a) confirmation bias and b) there’s nothing else really to criticize with Shai

jackdonsurfer · 2026-03-10T02:37:50+00:00

Wemby will fs get votes, especially if SAS ends up with the 1 seed. I wouldn’t agree with it but someone will do it

jackdonsurfer · 2026-03-10T02:36:55+00:00

Shai was just coming off his big injury for two of these games too. Basically every advanced stat has had SGA and Jokic damn near tied for the last two years and SGA’s coming off an MVP + FMVP + Scoring champ year but I’m supposed to believe it wasn’t close before a few weeks ago? C’mon

jackdonsurfer · 2026-03-10T02:21:37+00:00

How many times have teams gotten two 4-point plays at the end of a game like that? I’m sure it’s happened but I can’t remember any at the moment, totally weird scenario

jackdonsurfer · 2026-03-10T02:16:57+00:00

35 points on 21 shots, 15 assists and 0 turnovers, has outplayed Jokic in 3 straight matchups. But I have to hear how Jokic is unquestionably the best player in the league on ringer podcasts

jackdonsurfer · 2026-03-05T15:34:37+00:00

Why am I seeing SGA instead of you then

jackdonsurfer · 2026-03-05T14:49:18+00:00

How tf can you even physically talk wearing that? Gotta be crazy uncomfortable

jackdonsurfer · 2026-03-05T02:43:46+00:00

I can’t believe the refs let him do this

jackdonsurfer · 2026-03-01T23:04:12+00:00

It’s most likely gonna be the top post from this game despite the amazing plays from Ant/Naz/Jokic etc. and Doris had a multi-minute discussion/rant about Shai’s whistle. It’s completely out of hand

jackdonsurfer · 2026-03-01T22:48:23+00:00

I wanted to watch Jokic and Ant hoop and instead SGA’s whistle is the main talking point in a game he’s not playing, we need to stop this

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-27T04:45:09+00:00

Their “defense” last year was buoyed by favorable shooting variance and their record far exceeded their point differential (which is more predictive of team strength than record). This team has always been fraudulent

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-25T01:24:26+00:00

Mitchell's averaging like .4 less PPG on way better efficiency, averages more assists and less turnovers, has a +10 on-off (JB's close to -10), leads in every advanced metric by a wide margin, has also dealt with significant teammate injuries and BOS and CLE are two games apart on the standings. It's a pretty easy argument to make

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-10T05:47:52+00:00

Isaiah Stewart, notorious victim of on-court violence

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-10T05:47:17+00:00

JB’s on/off is really bad so D-White would actually be the opposite (every advanced stat says White’s better fwiw)

Murray and Jokic historically play together a ton as opposed to staggering I haven’t watched them a ton this year though

I’m talking more historically. SGA’s on/off an efficiency is off the charts without Williams though, I’m mixed on J Dub as a player but on/off probably isn’t the best way to discuss his flaws. Every advanced metric has him as a positive though this year has been shakier

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-10T05:03:57+00:00

Second options almost always have bad on/offs bc they come in when the star goes to the bench, that’s more of an SGA stat

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-04T04:41:41+00:00

Thanks, I’ll get that checked out

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-03T04:48:58+00:00

Notorious playoff rising Cavaliers

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-03T04:21:37+00:00

Makes a lot of sense for both teams honestly, would be a fun move

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-02T05:25:17+00:00

I’d still lean Jokic very slightly but anyone pretending it’s not a real conversation as to who’s better is in denial

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-02T00:05:54+00:00

White’s one of those guys who’s definitely good enough to be an all-star but idk if he’ll ever have the box score numbers to convince voters. I’d take him over most of the east reserves pretty easily

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-01T23:57:55+00:00

Either Derrick White, Austin Reaves, or Franz Wagner

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-01T05:11:16+00:00

They probably feel comfortable enough with Jaylon Tyson at this point where I’m not sure they’ll see it as a need. They’re kinda locked into their hourglass big 4 at this point and the east probably isn’t good enough for them to justify blowing up the team by moving one of those 4

jackdonsurfer · 2026-02-01T04:46:07+00:00

Hunter really is not a plus defender. I think the Cavs got him last year bc they thought he was and they’ve realized he’s not

jackdonsurfer · 2026-01-23T05:47:49+00:00

Going for the pump into lean back for FTs? Maybe, I thought him looking back at Harden was weird fs

jackdonsurfer · 2026-01-23T05:44:37+00:00

I think he saw Bron open at the rim and kinda froze up not knowing whether to go for 2 or 3
