    Brooklyn is way fucking cooler than Portland for a young black millionaire.

    "But FWIW, 2016-17 POR played like a 52.2-win team w/ Crabbe OFF, just 32.6-win team w/ him ON"

    Oopsie...

    So much for the theory that we played better when Crabbe was on the floor.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Oh, it wasn't a request. I actually misread your tone and thought you were annoyed by him by saying it to you, but now I see you've each been jabbing the other. There's nothing rule-breaking about it.

    True, but the data is faulty because there were no examples where you didn't post.

    More like because Crabbe never said a word and Batum (or his agent) said (and I am paraphrasing )

    "Please don't match mother fuckers, I will be way better off in Rick's offense and Minnesota is closer to France"

    I understand what you're saying, and if it happened more often than I think it did, then a more aggressive shooter would be a better fit compared to a shyer, less efficient shooter. Just seemed like we didn't battle that problem that much.

    I just don't feel like adding an injury prone 37% 3pt shooter who shoots nine 3s a game, while not bringing much else is a good move.

    I hit .400 off of future major league league pitching in HS in 5 at bats. Sadly, that player died at 23 the spring after his debut.

    Bro. You've watched warmups right? ALmost all NBA players shoot well from 3 when not guarded.
    Nurk was shooting threes during the warmups of a game last year. He made a couple too.

    I know you know that a contested 3 is much harder to make than a wide open 3, so a 3% gap would mean the contested shooter is actually or probably a BETTER shooter than the guy hitting 3% better on wide open threes.

    Dont knock foriegn substances...

    AMinu is foriegn, as well as a coupe others! ;)
    Plus whats in my jar at home is foriegn too!

    Combo of being French and NOT being Scottie Pippen. Eliminate one of those and hate would have dropped 75%.

    I am not a big fan of adding Gordon, but if we do, he is a slightly better player than AC imho.

    At least he was more the French Scottie Pippen than Mickael Pietrus was the French Michael Jordan.

    Fo' shizzle. I loathe Ryan Anderson. And the thought of giving up Harkless to a acquire him makes me nauseous.

    Shooting percentages are skewed by a few things....one AC didn't have to shoot many 3's with the shot clock expiring because the ball wasn't in his hands....AC wasn't double teamed at all because after we got Nurk 3 other guys on our roster commanded double teams....Gordon definitely had the ball more on the court and commanded more double teams than AC

    Aminu shoots 33% on the same open shots Crabbe does, many kettle wouldn't shoot that %. Some people shoot better when contested.

    Your post was accurate until this. Gordon doesnt demand a double team.

    My memory on the whole Batum signing is a bit fuzzy, but I think the "hate" against him was b/c his clown of an agent was negotiating in the media, trying to strongarm the Blazers for....I don't know why...and he didn't do himself any favors with this:
    At least NO tried the damage control:
