@HanganeeG @ApexJones22 6'6" skilled SF that was strong enough to guard the 4 as opposed to a skilled big. Lakers were able to still play 4 skilled players because AD was skilled at 6'10" and playing the 4. Even with that, they played a lot of "standard" small ball mins with Bron at 4 and Ad at 5 /2

@HanganeeG @ApexJones22 Shaq is a nuclear outlier in any area that would force teams to adjust to him.
With that being said the Lakers didn't really go "big". Small ball is more about having 4 skilled player on the floor than size alone, it just happened it's easier to find a /2

@brazildirector @ovrkast So you're basically agreeing with me that there are objectively true determinants such as physiology and sleep that affects emotions and thus emotions should be considered analytically and not discarded as irrelevant?
English
emotions are created. people confuse them with intuitions and thoughts. physiology effects emotions. sleep effects emotions. exercise effects emotions. interpretations and expectations effect emotions. most people don’t even know the difference between a feeling and a thought
English
@brazildirector @ovrkast Your interpretation of emotions are subjects, emotions themselves are chemical reaction. They are evolutionary functions that exist for a reason.
Blindly ignoring emotions without understanding why they are happening and their significance is no different from ignoring facts.
English
@rexchwang @ovrkast emotions are subjective. many people side with bad ideas because it *feels* scary to stand out and stand up against the grain.
English
@brazildirector @ovrkast The people going "facts don't care about feelings" are the same people ignoring facts because they hurt their feelings.
Feelings and facts are not mutually exclusive, emotions are a fact of life.

@twowayshai They zoomed in so you can't see the zero off ball movement and walking on defense.

these are genuinely dogshit hoops yo😭
Jacob@Jacobtheclipper
Cinematic quality first 3 minutes of the 1998 Game 6 NBA Finals. Look at all the amazing ball movement and sets. Basketball used to be such art 🔥

Twenty twenty five and people still think analytics is just midrange bad

SGA isn’t worried about analytics He LIVES in the mid range

@BIGMEM12 @CelticsAdam34 None of the trades were his idea. The assistant GM at the time pushed for all of those, he actually wanted Kuzma at the deadline instead of Gafford. Lively was a trade down but I guess we can give him credit for that.
English
@CelticsAdam34 Yep that PJ and Gafford and trading up for Livley was elite
English
@LakersLuka_ You can't blame Pelinka because there was literally no other options after Hornets did what they did, but calling Alex Len who has made 1/11 of his 3s over the last 3 seasons (110GP) a stretch 5 is a generational stretch.
English
Alex Len is a stretch 5 and decent lob threat. 👀
Pelinka could’ve done worse.
English
@rgrjiii @chop_343 @s4mp_JermarJS90 it's crazy because they literally both average 27PPG for their career lmao. This is generational hater work.
English
@chop_343 @s4mp_JermarJS90 he clearly on cares abt scoring when it comes to a prospect lmao

Won a NCAA title his first and only year at Syracuse and they put a kid who was still in HS over him in the draft.

@AlecFall0n @usabasketball @NBA @TeamUSA nba.com/stats/draft/co…
Joel being just under 7', KD and AD being 6'10", and Tatum being 6'8.5" is probably the correct heights.
English
@AlecFall0n @usabasketball @NBA @TeamUSA All of this is wrong, not because you're crazy but just because the NBA comically inflate everyone's height.
Bam was measured 6'8.75" at his draft combine, and that is not a 5 inch difference between him and Joel (who was correctly listed at 6'11.75")

@PandamoniumOW how would they be able to q 57 games with wide groups in gm tho???
English
Yo who is this guy??? They are 55-2 on the season, they have 2.8 deaths per 10 this season and last season they had 6.88 per 10. They lost their most recent game so they literally were 55-1 which is crazy.

glad to see someone trying the wide match 5 stack qing with golds and getting to rank 2 tank for free

@TheRussdiculous @TheDunkCentral They have vets, they're just all bum outside of Bojan. Burks was actively shooting them out of games
English
@TheDunkCentral Pistons have talent, they just have to figure out how to close games,
That’s why it’s no harm in signing seasoned NBA vets… need about 2-4 playable vets…
I’ll never understand why teams do that, you NEED vets !!!
English
Cade Cunningham says last night showed that the Pistons are on the same level as every team they played against
“I think it shows like we’re on the same level as all these teams we’re playing against. There’s no team that I’ve ever come across in the NBA where I felt like I was going into a slaughterhouse.”

@JoshYohe_PGH Is he declining or is he just being triple teamd every play from having the worst WR room of his career

Adam Silver comparing himself to a war criminal is not something I expected to happen today
Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing
Adam Silver is asked by Pat McAfee about the NBA's place in international relations and compares himself to Henry Kissinger, "one of the great global diplomats" before telling ESPN's audience he is a "big believer" in a strong military...
English
@msubobcat39 @NBA_Math I could be wrong but could be a front court/back court thing, not sure how they're calculating it but it would make sense; more competition in the backcourt for kyrie than AD
Could also be games played, Book is omitted due to only having 10GP. kyrie has 14 and AD is at 18.
