The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

Wow league average! Using all the shittiest players in the league to make your point. Lol

Way to count the 10 day contract guys.

You truly are a dishonest scumbag.

Better to take some random list a few superstars from different eras like Curry, AI and Barkley to make your point? at least he made his point while despite you being in your words a dishonest scumbag you failed to make yours.

 

[dtgold88]

Sometimes you just have to cut bait.

He actively wants to not get it.

True...but it's free comedy to let him keep going.

I don't know about "useless" at that level, but there isn't nearly as much teaching involved in the professional ranks of any sport as there is managing personalities and seeing things in game that players may not and adjusting to that.

That's fair. And while I love the guy, think there's a reason Tito was a pretty bad manager before he went to the RSox, was amazing there then pretty good with the Tribe.

Will say I do appreciate he was willing to think outside the box and likely players did want to play for him (but if team wont spend that might not matter).

 

[dtgold88]

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.

That's debatable. Fully healthy Bucks team IF that happens would be pretty tough. Fully healthy Orlando (well, no Suggs) would give GS a run for money I think.

 

[dtgold88]

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

but, but, but, why look at EVERY player playing right now when discussing right now when you can pick out a few random stars from different eras that don't even help his case?

 

[dtgold88]

Oh I forgot, teams just instantly get good in the playoffs. Is that what you are saying?

I mean, maybe not in general but you've sure seen the Heat do that, haven't you? You have to know reg. season wnt matter all that much once playoffs start, no?

Is this all just for pre-excuse making should your juggernaut team drop a series?

 

[dtgold88]

No, if Dallas can somehow beat the Kings for the first time they will beat Memphis.

Happen to agree......but you think Memphis would be a tougher out than the Bucks even if Lillard can go?

I think the odds would be very similar

There will be no excuses, just looking at things and it’s what I think.

So, @logic was right...too much math for your smooth brain.

Hmmm I did the math. You can do the math. A 1st grader can do the math. Your tranny lover can do that math. But this is a basketball forum and when it comes to basketball you don't know shit.

 

[eaglesnut]

You are right about preferential treatment


Although funny coming from a Philly fan since Iverson was one of the biggest beneficiaries and cancers on the game with his carrying and/or traveling on every possession

Yeah Iverson was so fucking awesome to watch. He knew to get to the hoop instead of jacking up threes lake a lazy bitch.

 

[eaglesnut]

Nope.

Because teams would still try to get shots at the rim as those are the best shots in any scenario.

You were the one talking up all the “beautiful midrange shots” from the 90s.

This is specifically about trading midrange for 3s which the league has mostly done. And done correctly.

Yes beautiful. Something you wouldn't understand as a mental cripple.

 

[eaglesnut]

"Good, accurate data" is to only assume he takes 3s and midrange shots?

Ya gotta love this forum.

I give accurate info. You give nothing. Typical.

 

[eaglesnut]

Idea you tell me or anyone they are not following what you say is next level......as you cannot seem to follow what you say.

Maybe hire someone to keep track of your dumb comments to avoid future dumb comments as though you forgot your previous dumb comments?

Try speaking in an informative way instead of giving us your mental masterbation questions. Thanks.

 

[bksballer89]

The night I been waiting for since the 10 game losing streak

 

[eaglesnut]

yet you tried to use Curry to justify taking a bunch of midrange shots.

Seriously, you are having a really tough time keeping up.....with yourself. Maybe regroup and try again?

Nope just included Curry to round it out. I wouldn't want to use only guys that make my case. That would be a really bitch way to discuss it. Your way.

 

[Retroram52]

Tonight! Heat-Bulls, Mavs-Kings.

I'm enjoying how dumb you guys are as a group. Bunch of pretend basketball guys who are really just nba knobslobbers. Even as the product gets shittier and shittier.

LOL.

Right. It is the group telling you that you are wrong in not being able to grasp a very simple mathematical concept.

Keep telling yourself that.

 

[tlance]

Fanduel has it at +45,245 he simply owns his "logic" was way off base.

Looks like the long shot bet will not pay off this time.

Shocker.
