Jeremy Lin (Linsanity) would definitely be proud.

Thunder are going to have a tougher first round matchup than any of the top 4 seeds in the East. Just the way it is, have to beat everyone anyway.

I think the top 8 in the West are just as good as New York. Maybe better.

JJJ supposed to be some big time defensive player but he is guarding Draymond instead of Jimmy lol

Well…

Edey probably shouldn’t play nearly as much against a team like Golden State.

It did not work, but what they were thinking is to put their best help defender on a player who he could leave. JJJ is a better helper than he is on the ball.

I agree with JJJ guarding Draymond over butler. But it can’t be Edey guarding Butler.

I disagree as his body type is similar to Zubac and Clippers don’t make the warriors small ball lineup dictate how they played him but they were smart enough to not have him guarding butler. Edey did good work on the glass so did play a role but his coaches did not help him with that defensive assignment

His body type may be similar to Zubac.

But Zubac is a much better player.

No matter who Edey is guarding he is a liability defensively against a small team.

Memphis simply does not match up well with Golden State.

Wow, of all the stupid shit you've posted...this is just pants on head stupid.

Let me see if I can dumb it down enough for you.

If a team shoot 100 3's and hits 36% of them that's 36 3's...you get that?

Those 36 3's give the team 108 points. Still with me?

Now, let's say another team takes 100 mid-range shots and hits 41% of them, that's 41 2's. Still following?

Those 41 mid-range shots give the team 82 points. Nod your head if you understand.

So, the team that shot the lower percentage shots scores 26 more points.

If that's still too complicated for you...I can try using crayon.

Oh, and "you gotta love this forum".

*tip of the hat to @dtgold88

There was still math in your explanation. Too hard. Need picture.

 

[eaglesnut]

You didn’t post their midrange FG%

I would say you are being dishonest, but I truly believe you don’t know any better.

Neither did you

 

[tlance]

Neither did you

I posted league averages.

What you posted has absolutely nothing to do with mid range.

But approximations?

Iverson was around 45% and Barkley was actually pretty terrible. He was somewhere in the low 30s from midrange.

Great in the paint though. Which is where he got most of his shots.

The wife's back to normal. Took her 9-10 hours to shake off the anesthesia and started calling me around 8pm. And I came home, ate and crashed. Woke up around Midnight to her call and talked before crashing again. Talked to her this AM and she may or may not come home today since she didn't start drinking a lot of fluids until the anesthesia wore off.....may come home Thursday. She will talk to the DR a little later and find out.

Summary: Suns regret accepting Ishbia's ownership bid.

So is a night with Kobe

15 is different for each person, some of them are quite ready to party...and in days past 15 was when you started having kids.

I'm not losing sleep over it, and neither is that party girl, or Giddey. But I can't stop you from church ladying it.

Always rich coming from a LA Raper fan.

Not sure why you think poking Kobe's corpse is justification?

 

[shopson67]

No, you said this, when shopson said LeBron did more than Bird:



I asked you what Bird did more of that matters, and you ignored me, because that comment was a little overboard. The correct answer is 'ok yeah fine LeBron did more, but at their peaks I think Bird was the better player' or something like that.

Not Lebron, Luka.
