I'm shocked at all these people like "Memphis is good now:leon:" when last year the league was so shook of them beating the Oklahoma Chucking Thunder that they suspended Zbo...

To this day that is so wild to me...I can't remember a teams top 2 player getting suspended for a game 7 in the playoffs ever...

At the very least the league should be lucky they fukked up and let Great Whiteside go...

Could you imagine having to deal with Zbo and Gasol...and then when one of them sits Great White comes in:damn::damn::damn::damn:

You would have to start every Grizzlies game with the "warning some of the following images are graphic in nature and may not be suitable for all audiences"

I woke up in cold sweat just thinking about it this morning :whew:
shyt man, without him we're a 15 win team right now like 2007-08. His impact is that legit

He got Harden, and Howard here. The stands are filled and the Rockets are in the playoffs every year. Not to mention they're not that far from winning a championship. Plus since Morey took over in 07 Rockets have the 3rd best record in the league over that time. I'd say they won with Morey. And don't act like GSW don't have some things to prove in the playoffs either bro.

:dahellwhat:

They paying Dwight Howard max money and his body is falling apart...they don't know if he will be back this season AND they talking about him possibly having to have micro-fracture surgery...so their max player center who's game is 100% based on athleticism is about to be robbed of his athleticism...

And who they got sucking up his minutes? Josh fukking Smith...a guy who shoots bricks so hard one literally almost blew out my subwoofer

They've played pretty well without Howard this year...but you think this team can beat 3 teams in the west with Josh fukking smith playing big minutes at the 4 or 5:dahellwhat:

You talking about them having the 3rd best record since 07...so Morey getting all this pub over a ton of regular season wins? With all his new age analytic Nba2k trades poison pill contract signing magic...all he has managed to do in 8 years get out of the 1st round what...once? Didn't even make the playoffs at all for 3 straight years by the way...

So Morey is some sort of analytic genius when it comes to basketball...but in 8 years he has not made the playoffs 3 times...and lost in the 1st round 4 times...and now he paying max money to a center who might have a surgery that will rob him of the one thing that makes him a max player:dahellwhat:

And all of this is pushing them closer to a title:yeah ok:

Talent is obviously the most important. But the Spurs get the edge from areas outside of talent that other organizations dont even know exist...The Spurs being good every year isn't just off of talent. They do everything right. The only thing that can really offset that is a talent as good as Lebron- who's obviously extremely unique.

And teams like the Mavs and now the Hawks seem to be catching up with what the Spurs do.

nikka the MAVS had a MVP All Star player in Dirk. A 2X 6 Man of the Year player in Jason Terry. Both who was in the NBA Finals in 06.

Knowing how to play them together is pretty important though. Gotta know each players skills and how they fit together on the court to maximize their collective abilities. That's primarily what analytics is.

You don't need analytics to do this. It's funny how they keep mentioning the MAVS. But Mark Cuban has said they rarely even use analytics.

we know that,...
Yet, the issue with why things are so dismals, now is.
everyone, meaning industry uses some spreadsheet science that sabotages what could really ultimately be gained.
I guess to put it simply:

spreadsheet scientology or analytics lacks soul.
in regards to bball,...
it misses what the soul of the game would already tell you.
