I think Embiid instead of AD makes the blue team much better and Embiid also fits the idea of “underachieving 2010s star”. Right now I’m picking red though, it’s built so much better
EDIT: I also feel like both teams would be better off if you swapped Dame and CP3 around?
Well the Spurs never repeated so that gives everyone else a chance this year right?
The bigger mistake was passing up on Haliburton
Kyrie Irving you are a Los Angeles Laker
HALFTIME UPDATE: Celtics margin of +19 isn’t enough. Assuming Nets win, they need to up that to at least +23. Assuming Nets lose, they need to at least 19 + the Knicks margin (currently 9, so 28). Celtics will need to keep running up the score.
Funniest timeline would be Steven Adams, fuelled by marmite and Weet-Bix, making a miraculous recovery on the exact day Ja’s suspension ends. The revamped Grizzlies go on a 40-17 run and scrape it into the play, then crush everyone to make the Finals.
True then 17 - 1 must be even easier
I’m actually concerned about some of you in the comments how do you people think 50 x 2 is difficult math
This gets said every year but I honestly believe this is the year where Sixers finally have a deep playoff run. I think Tyrese Maxey is going to be invaluable as the #2 option on the team and he seems like the kind of guy that would be a playoff riser
AD has been slacking against other bigs recently he needs to own the Flopfather
Need that 6MOY narrative building up
I think LeBron needs a fifth ring to be able to retire as the consensus GOAT
I like Maxey but there’s no way he gets more votes than Haliburton and/or Dame
Oh so this is why Batum is in
If all your starters were injured
If?
Chet is #29 in DPM and #18 in PER, All-Star is possible but I doubt he’ll get All-NBA
You want NBA games to be less competitive?
Oh there’s only two consequential games left in the West, might make a matrix for that then
If we assume that the rate that players get tired is linear, then as OT wears on one team will be more tired than the other and their chances of winning each subsequent OT probably decreases. So it’s probably less likely than the actual theoretical odds
In sports that allow this, the teammate on that court usually has to get outside before the substituting teammate can go in. So for a few milliseconds you would have 4 players on the court, but never 6.
