cc is switch just about everything. GSW will get whoever they want guarding Durant. Heck we saw Durant posting up Paul more times than I can count in WCF. It didn’t matter who was guarding him, in a battle of ISO, CC and hardwn are king. GOAT GSW was very lucky to win. ...

Tbt he will probably he even better than I think he will. I have set the bar pretty low for him. Ryno role. Low 20s minutes. There’s a decent chance he reverts to Olympic melo and forces his way into the finishing 5. in that case golden state is in big big trouble. ...

Coach bzdelik can scheme around any little deficiencies he might have. Won’t be a bd. ...

It’s not an excuse. It is what it is. Hardwn work his arse off year after year to earn franchise player status and damn near took down GOAT a team of four all stars. safe to say he is right In not wanting Lebron to come to his team and be a glory hog and make it lebrons title. When harden woulda won ...

4. Yea he can defend adequately enough. You gotta remember he is taking over that ryno role....

1. CC 2. GSW 3. Utah 4. Wolves 5. Thunda 6. Lakers 7. Pdx 8. Spurs 9. Nuggets 10. Pels 11. Grizz 12. Clipps 13. Mavs 14. Suns 15. Kings ...

Damn near knocked off goat, a team with four all stars, as the lone all star on CC. Just needed a smidgeon of better luck. He surely did not need the glory hog Lebron to get a title, he will get it this season coming. ...

Harden didn’t want Lebron. That was the main reason Lebron did not go to CC. Confirmed by cyber x. The nba insider who post on the clutch fans site. ...

He likely won’t even be on the court in those crunch time clutch end of game minutes. so he won’t have that much of a impact Tbt. If he is good enough to close games that means he is Olympic Melo and has relegated Clint or Eric Gordon to the bench. And if he is playing at that level. :lol: GSW just...

No. This year is the year. Historically when you combine two players as good as James and Chris they don’t get that title in year one. It’s year two. Look at lebron he didn’t even win the title his first year in Miami with that super team. Takes a little time to get to that championship level. and t...

That was after not even 20 games were played. Too small of a sample size. After a whole season of games the expected wins holds a lot more value. We thought this would be common sense but I imagine that neither you or what I know have ever been mistaken for being savvy with numbers. :lol: ...

yea but a great team like CC would have loss less than one win by my calculations. Whereas pels and the other teams bunched up there at 45-48 wins woulda had more like 4-5 wins less by my calculation. ...

Of course. Teams with lower net ratings lose to teams at the bottom of the standings at a higher rate than those squads w higher net ratings. Ie pels record was inflated by the tankers more than CC. ...

It’s how many games you expected to win based on your net rating. a team with a lower net rating ie your pels, okcs, etc were expected to win low 40 games. But Bc of the tankers this year they won more. I was a math major I have a good grip on all these stats so you can trust that I’m not mis using ...

Not just the rockets. It’s all of your top teams. Your top teams are always expected to lose to the worse teams at a lower rate than the more average teams. it’s pretty simple math. Something I like to call Pythagorean expected wins. ...

not really. The 10-12th place teams that usually DONT tank but were last year don’t beat a team as good as CC if they were tanking or not tanking. Those 10-12th place teams pick up their extra wins mostly against your 4-9 seeds if not tanking. So it is the pels, Nuggets, okcs, etx etx of the league...

Yep. Built a squad with only one all star who won 65 and damn near took out GOAT. We are talking a 70 win team easy with good health with only one all star. Idk if that’s more of a endorsement for harden or morey but wow we are lucky to have both of them in the league. ...

There’s many players who woulda gone to 8 straight finals if you put them on the heat super teams and then the squads he had in Cleveland considering the lack of competition in the lowly east the last decade. ...

Go Eat at liholiho. Best meal I had in SF last trip out. ...

It’s one of those I rather die on my feet then live on my knees scenario. It is more honorable to give your all and come up short on a no title non super team then it is to live on your knees by resorting to a super team in order to get your title. ...
