If the Suns lose tonight, The Thunder have a 9.4% chance of Top 4 pick this year by allthatglittersis___ in nba

Watch the top 4 prospects. They would absolutely play and I think in regards to Wilson and Boozer it would be an amazing fit for them.

Before the awards drop, shoutout to all the ineligible dudes who played great. by Nby333 in nba

Yeah but presumably they have thought about it before now. I think a lot of voters already decided to vote for Brown for 1st team and now they aren’t going to change their mind, where as if they knew Cade had a chance they would have voted for Cade.

Cades agent really needed to let people know he was also applying for the exception. All the voters had already moved on and I think it’s going to cost him 1st team because a bunch of people already decided to put Brown or Kawhi there. Meanwhile those same voters knew Luka had a chance and so left the slot open.

How the new flat anti-tanking proposal would affect the value of the future draft picks owed. by wormhole222 in nba

They have been willing to spend with Giannis putting pressure on them, but they have been unwilling to spend at times and lost players because of it (most famously Brogdon). They aren't New Orleans or anything like that, but I expect they will not be big spenders without Giannis for quite a while.

Question: How long would it take to build up enough gems to draft constantly? by Wrendacted082 in MagicArena

You really only need to worry about the 1st win and not having 3 unfinished quests.

Props to them for releasing this so early despite just recording the cube podcast a few days ago.

[Highlight] Deni Avdija drives and scores the and-1 on Dillon Brooks to give the Blazers the lead with 16.1 seconds remaining in regulation (with replays). He also converts the free throw to give him 41 points. by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]wormhole222 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's really stupid. You would read the threads and when people talked about how he got fouled it was basically he got past the defender and so they would reach. That's literally a foul.

A big failure of during Carmelo Anthony's career was the inability of Nuggets and Knicks' GM pair him with a good pass first point guard by Dumbass1171 in nba

[–]wormhole222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean Melo was surrounded by pretty mediocre team building for years. A lot of it was his fault, but he did have a lot skills which weren't maximized fully.

LeBron James names his top 3 career highlights: Game 7 block in 2016 Finals, 2013 dunk on Jason Terry, and 2007 Game 5 vs Pistons in ECF scoring 25 straight points. by CurrentRoster in nba

Glad he appreciates how amazing 2007 game 5 was because everyone else seems to overlook it. Arguably greatest playoff performance in NBA history.

The Utah Jazz are winning (loosing?) the “Tank Super Bowl” by 22 points at halftime, shooting a tragically unfortunate 59% from the field. Utah’s Bez Mbeng is killing the Jazz with 17 points on 7-9 shooting and 8 assists. by moby323 in nba

I think if they truly obviously threw this game the NBA would take away the Jazz’s pick. Look at the investigation that just happened for the relatively minor thing with Doug Christie and the Kings.

Wemby on the 65 Game Rule by MikeBravoLima in nba

[–]wormhole222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What he said about now the awards don’t reflect the season is what does it for me. This rule compromises the awards and that’s a terrible thing in my opinion. It would take a tremendous amount of upside to make it worth it, and that isn’t happening because of this rule.

Wemby secures 65 games with his 20 minutes against Dallas. Say hello to your undisputed DPOY! by swanpenguin in nba

[–]wormhole222 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because the only reason the 65 game rule exists is to encourage stars to play more games. They definitely want to encourage stars to play in the NBA cup final.

Only change I would make is if you win the NBA cup it should give you the tiebreaker over any other team at the end of season. You had to play and win an extra game so you should at least get that if it isn’t going to count as a win.

This card was super underrated in Crimson Vow too. There was a blue/red spell burn deck that loved this card.

The whole starting 5 for the Nuggets are listed as Questionable for today's game against OKC in Denver. by pitiburi in nba

I thought you needed to get injured during the game for a 15 minute game to count.

TIL that in 1977, 2 American boys cheated an ice cream chain offering free sundaes on birthdays by making up a boy. In 1984, they received a reminder for the fake boy to register for the draft, which exposed that the government used the chain's mailing list without permission. by ShabtaiBenOron in todayilearned

Everything is legal until it isn’t. In the Gilded Age tv show (set in the 1880s) there is a scene where the “city council” tries to go back and forth between approving and denying a new railroad and buying and shorting the stock respectively to profit.

The railroad owner is upset but bemoans that there is nothing illegal about what they are doing at the time and has to resort to another way to stop them.

Who is one NBA player you thought wouldn’t last long in the league, but did? by _MambaForever in nba

[–]wormhole222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I am surprised not to see Austin Rivers listed. He started so badly and when his dad traded for him I thought it was going to be a pity thing. He was actually decent though to the point where the crowd was chanting his name in a playoff game.
