2021-2022 NBA Season

Am I the only one who doesn't give two fucks about the Embiid/Jokic "rivalry"

What have they faced each other? Like 5 times? Did Embiid have a tummy ache that day? I genuinelly give zero fucks

 

[raptorlife4]

He had the dude’s number. I’m glad Canada had something to cheer for for once. I think it’s horrible that America has stolen Lord Stanley and refuses to give it back. It’s how we Americans feel when the Japanese or the Cubans win baseball at the Olympics.

Sounds like I got in your feels

Shhhhh
We’ll call you when they get the ping pong balls out, bro.

I have no feels. Just as a Canadian teenager has no proof that the Stanley Cup has ever been to Canada.

What's Philly won with embiid? Like 2 series? Wake me up when they're in the ECF

Yes that ECF...the one the Pistons went to 6 years in a row this century at the very least.

Relevant and compelling basketball seasons

Or quite simply Joel Embiid is the better basketball player when one assesses both ends of the court.

But you can VORP all you like.

Those numbers I listed. That wasn't something random I decided to mention. During the Nuggets nationally televised game on 3/22 the announcers mentioned them. So I'm obviously not the only one that thinks the numbers you think mean nothing actually mean something.

Here we go again. I’m just calling you Scarecrow now. So if I’m saying you’re on an island, that here you are, the only man in the world focused on these statistics, then why have I left posts about analytics ruining sports? Why have I talked about their impact on baseball? So when did I say you were the only man in the world presenting a statistical argument? What I’ve said is that every single post of yours on this subject is purely a statistical analysis.

I dont necessarily agree that they have ruined sports...but the effect hasnt been as entirely positive as a lot of the analytics folks would like us to believe.

There have been some pretty cool things that have happened in sports that may not have if the coach/manager looked at analytics instead of trusting his instincts.

For example, if analytics were used instead of Lasordas instincts in 1988, we likely dont have what has to be the least talented World Series champs in history. lol

On the other hand, it is analytics that made the 3 a much bigger part of basketball and gave us Steph Curry.

Little bit ironic that the Dodgers won that against the As too, who ended up being one of the starters of analytics.

No doubt the Pistons have not been relevant of late. Cannot argue that.

And it used to be my turn to be there. The Process was necessary but also painful

How can you say I'm "on an island" when the stats I listed were mentioned during a nationally televised game?


Scarecrow? Shit man I think we gotta new sports talk show. You're a 76ers homer.

It'll be the Scarecrow & Homer show. On daily at 4:20 on espn8 the ocho!

Go read my reply again. I’m not saying you’re the only one making the argument. You’re the guy who said that’s my position.

And yes, I’ll own that im a Homer. Doesn’t mean I’m wrong.

Can we have it at a different time?

I'm usually busy at 4:20.

 

[trojanfan12]

Agree. It's the being wrong that means you're wrong.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Agree. It's the being wrong that means you're wrong.

Booooo

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I really don't give a crap who wins the MVP...but I'm sure whomever it ends up being, it'll be well deserved.
I'm more focused on the playoffs....and wish the damn postseason would just get here already.

Just an awful injury at a bad time of the season.

Watching the game last night the announcers said Williams is the only low pots defender in the league holding opponents to under 40% shooting. Individual D like that is impossible to replace.

Tough break bud. That definitely sucks
