the ginobili resurgence is crazy. it really looked like he should’ve hang it after the heat finals loss, but he was their best player according to many advanced the next year and had a couple seasons more left in the tank

the distance between the top 5 guy and the top 10 guy is very short compared to the difference between the top 5 and the goat.

so saying you’re not impressed by a guy that makes the top 10 is really confusing.

streaky and trigger happy guards who cannot defend or playmake don’t usually have long careers in the league

hyland became a fan favourite because shot a lot from long range at a decent percentage (while still being a horrible shot unless you can take advantage of it to open up other areas of your game) and because fans tend to think defence is an effort thing (when it is very unlikely a very bad defender turns to a good defender with time)

the spurs ball movement in the 00s was atrocious, even for the league standards. 10s spurs was ahead of everyone else and that influenced this perception.

there’s a way to plan the schedule so it wouldn’t affect it, but the nba has always prioritised other things over a fair strength of schedule

Cole Anthony has come a long way since that meme-worthy dunk contest, love to see it

it should be noted cp3 is also a known playoff choker and a bitch

Almost 39 and still has to carry this Lakers team

he’s on a 47m contract, highest paid player in the Lakers, of course he has to carry the team.

i think you could compare the spurs with the lebron cavs

year prior: 17-65

first year: 35-47

second year: 42-40

third year: 50-32

so the spurs were a slightly better 22-60 team but lebron was also better than wemby at this stage

so instead of an 18 jump, expect the smaller jump, but the same result, in 3 years you should be among the top of the west barring no injuries ofc.

the only one that can be mad about this is Giannis, everyone else is a tier below

both games today were the final score difference was the same as the points scored from technical fouls

why doesn’t boban play?

bucks announcers are pretty bad

It’s always a red flag when someone uses fg%

but to put into perspective regardless, nowitski’s fg% for his career was .471 with only two seasons above .500. tim duncan’s fg% was .506 with 9/19 seasons below .500

at this pace he’ll be playing 434 min per game by the end of the season

69 nice

there’s in pace for 138 points, the scoring inflation these days is ridiculous

the pel court is so ugly

kawhi leaving his man open, why would russ do this?

league fucked
