And the Knicks fucking collapse. Unfuckingbelievable

 

[bksballer89]

Refs need to stop rewarding these 3 point shooters when they intentionally kick their feet out to draw a foul

Good.
They don't need to be winning during these last few weeks of meaningless games.

Nice job tonight by Kerr & the Dubs tonight.



LOL at "Load management"



Good Luck in Philly on Saturday.
They're gonna be needing it.

 

[Four4Four]

Damn, a half court shot in philly is only worth a free chicken biscuit sandwich for the fans in attendance from chick fil a. True story.

Sucks Cavs won....but encouraging to see Sexton, Osman and Love, 3 of their future pieces, all have over 20 points.

Osman really struggled the first couple months with his role and his shot. He was forced to play a ton of PF, and it was really his first extended action.

Since then though the guy has played really good ball. Its doubtful he has All-Star upside- i wouldnt totally rule it out, but its doubtful, but he can without a doubt become a solid starting NBA player

21-7-5-2 tonight for Osman on 7/10 shooting.

In the month of February Osman averaged about 16-5-3 on 55% shooting from the field and a crazy 52% from 3 on 5 attempts a game from 3. In January he shot 48% from the field and 38% from 3.

such improvement over November and December

 

[TJL]

Who shot only 42%? Not Kobe.

No clue who you are, but if Im posting this late Im wasted and should be ignored.

Pacers next two games are at home against Orlando and the Bulls, after that our March schedule is downright scary.

While we would ideally like to keep the #3 seed and avoid facing one the the east's big four in the first round, the 4/5 seed would be more likely. HCA against Boston in the first round wouldn't be bad, win or lose.

@WiggyRuss ought to love this one lol...

Pat Riley Aiming To Sign 2 Max Free Agents In 2020

Yeah, I'm not terribly impressed with Harper. I mean, the guy can play...but I'm not sure anyone is worth a 10 year deal.

That's a looong time to be paying that kind of money and if the guy has a serious injury that hurts his ability to play at the level that money command...you're screwed.

On the other hand, I'd hate to see him go to the damn Giants and hurt the Dodgers every year for the next 10...that would get old. lol

I'm just glad the Cubs didn't get this idiot. Him in this market with this fan base would have been a media relations disaster. Even Addison Russell is going to be in for a rude awakening once he returns from his suspension.

And whats so funny about this? It been obvious for about 2 years now that they were going to try and do something in 2020. Not sure whats funny about having an actual plan in place to try and be title contenders in the next 2-4 years

Consider your audience. Then you'll understand why he's not making a logical statement.

 

[Four4Four]

I'll be 60.

Isn't that crazy to think about. But if we really think about, Jeter was with the Yankees longer than that. Kobe was as well with the Lakers. So as long as we get 4 WS titles, I'll be one happy 57 yr old when this thing is over.

The problem here is no one is arguing that Klay isn't a #1. In fact, we've said it multiple times, which means we agree with you. Yet, you still continue to drill that point unnecessarily.

Where your challenge comes in is when we compare Klay & Love as #2 options. So what Love played with Kyrie & LBJ. Klay plays with Curry & KD & now Boogie and he still manages to have a bigger impact while staying healthy. Neither of which Love seems able to do. At the end of the day it is quite baffling why you continue to argue Love is better when he's barely played double digit games this season alone.

Seems your challenge is trying not to move the goalposts. But you must. We were comparing Klay and Love. Period. And if you think Love makes the better #1 you must think he's the better player.

 

[dtgold88]

You are way too fixated on that win total.

It is meaningless.

Win totals for mediocre teams depend a lot on league structure at the time.

There were quite a few bad teams in both conferences that season. Mostly the East, but still. There were A lot of teams to beat up on.

For example, a 48 win Phoenix team or a 49 win Dallas team from that year were not definitively better than say this year's Kings or Lakers who will probably win between 40 And 43.

There are fewer easy wins to get today.

All fair points....but either way Love can be the focal point for the D of the other team and put up elite #s. Could Klay?
