it's just for context. how would anyone know what "113" means as a number
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 5 June 2014 22:33 (ten years ago) link
well it cld be compared to past playoff runs for instance
― lag∞n, Thursday, 5 June 2014 22:34 (ten years ago) link
the only teams that have beaten that number in the playoffs going back to 2003 are the 09-10 suns and the 08-09 nuggets

i still think it is important that the spurs have played 18 games against competition that is way better than anyone the heat have faced, "top 10 defense" or whatever. the bobcats knew they weren't winning a game, the nets were playing w/ other people's knees, and the pacers are actual crazy people.
― Clay, Thursday, 5 June 2014 22:38 (ten years ago) link
sure, i'm not disputing that. though i bet the heat wouldn't have been taken 7 by the mavs.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 5 June 2014 22:39 (ten years ago) link
yeah the heat wouldve had a hard time in the west imho, i mean everyone did it was stacked but they played some really exceptionally shitty competition, youd prob have to go back to the years the nets won the east to find worse competition
― lag∞n, Thursday, 5 June 2014 22:40 (ten years ago) link
heat will 3peat because everyone always 3peats. has there ever been a repeat that did not then become a 3peat?
― sufi john paxson (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 5 June 2014 22:42 (ten years ago) link
but the fact that their offense is playing at a rate aligned with the best offenses in nba history indicates that they would still be blitzing even good teams
and i think they'll blitz the spurs. we'll see what happens on the other end though.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 5 June 2014 22:42 (ten years ago) link
that series with the mavs was weird and seemed to be more about history b/w the franchises than talent. and SA seems to start slow in rd 1 every year. since game 7 of that series they've been clicking in a fairly brutal fashion, disregarding a couple westbrook/kd freakout games in oklahoma.

or they cld revert to the mean
― lag∞n, Thursday, 5 June 2014 22:44 (ten years ago) link
they'll almost certainly regress some. but even "some" would still leave the offense in a place of dominance.

1. LeBron James has shot 5-of-30 (16.7 percent) when Boris Diaw is guarding him over the past year.
Believe it! According to SportVU 3D player-tracking cameras, the portly Diaw was matched up with James for 8:43 in the regular season and the four-time MVP shot just 2-of-9 and scored just four points. Then we found out from ESPN Stats & Info video tracking of the 2013 Finals that James shot 3-of-21 against Diaw in the postseason, including 1-of-10 outside 10 feet. There might never be a LeBron James stopper for an entire game, but in a pinch? Diaw might be just the guy.
lol i want to believe

the portly Diaw
Stately, plump Boris Diaw came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed.

this whole article is complete nonsense, i weep for 538

538 is so bad

not even clicking

my gut feeling on this series is that nothing the spurs did to be "better" this year is going to be meaningful in a short series against the heat, leaving it as even as last year. so i have no reason to pick against the champs.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 5 June 2014 23:35 (ten years ago) link
I picked the Heat too, I feel the Heat still know it was but for the grace of Ray Allen that they took it last year and are gonna actively not let themselves fall into that hole again
― 龜, Thursday, 5 June 2014 23:37 (ten years ago) link
contrary to conventional wisdom being the champs doesnt actually get you any extra points
― lag∞n, Thursday, 5 June 2014 23:38 (ten years ago) link
agreed, i think the series is a coinflip, but i'm obligated to make a pick

I thought the rings give you super powers, like Green Lantern.

so the opening of nba countdown had three shots of Simmons and Jalen in a convertible driving around some anonymous town and then a slow-mo shot of the two of them walking in front of an explosion
