mask kyrie shd be his new character along side uncle drew, he shows up to a pickup game wearing the mask and everyone knows its him then he humiliates them, at first its funny but eventually its just pitiful and no one is having a good time but mask kyrie wont stop

COVINGTON

these numbers are always so hard to interpret early in the season, there's all sorts of inputs that are not clear, like i'm pretty sure this takes into account last season too, people get a bonus for being taller, etc

hmmm yes

i did say last year james johnson looked like lebron...

people do get a bonus for being taller because rebounds are worth a lot in any all in one stat

that's not why there's a height adjustment tho

RPM (unfortunately imo) includes these inputs to increase predictive value at the expense of descriptive value

#28 Marreese Speights hehe sure

the parts in here about the cavs defense have been rehashed ad ad nauseam but i found the parts about love and the offense pretty interesting. lebron/IT and rose/wade are gonna suck up all the shots, and even if love gets reduced back to a floor spacing 3 point shooter he's still behind korver and JR

feel like rose will probably be cut from this team at some point, he doesn't seem tenable there

The Nuggets need to stop overthinking things trying to be a good defensive team and running isos. You had a top 3 offense for months, just let Jokic do his thing and outscore people.

I predict career 36% 3 point shooter Robert Covington will not shoot 50% from 3 this year

agree but it's been fun

tobias harris and aaron gordon, however, will definitely do it

btw i was wrong about the prior season data, apparently they stopped doing that a few years ago. so as far as i know the data are only from this season

yay stan

nba is good

Curry's veterans day piece was nice too

crazy to think smart was the consensus 1 pick in 2013 but then ended up going 6 after staying another year in college, that 2013 draft was so fn bad but then did somehow have giannis going 15th lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_NBA_draft

I'm kind of obsessed with this draft

Like not only is the order all fucked up there's at least four m/l rotation level players that weren't even drafted! (Seth curry dellavedova Covington maybe dedmon)

Plus there's a chance Giannis becomes an all timer and Bennett 1 / Giannis 15 becomes the second craziest draft disparity after Bowie 2 / Jordan 3

bowie was at least a nba quality player who had injuries, bennett just plain sucks!

steph bud take it easy no rush rest up

Stephen Curry (right thigh contusion) is probable for tomorrow night's game at Boston.

we need you 100% healthy for the big game against philly

curry probably pumped he doesnt have to go head to head with avery bradley

ya avery defended him good

got tix to see giannis at the end of this month ;)

sick
