Nah, I think I’d be in the minority on Nurk vs Valenciunas. Adams was dumb. It’s not close Saying Dame can’t shoot 3’s any more is dumb. - If he’s...
Melo’s air ball ‘Twas a thing of beauty.
Lakers are about 7th or 8th in the West.
Yeah a lot of people would disagree on Valanciunas, he’s a much better finisher. But Nurk’s a better defender, passer & screener. Three of the...
He’s way better than Adams. He’s better than Valenciunas too but it’s closer.
For sure. But over Nurk no way.
Nurk is better than both of them.
I said last year Simons can pass but he doesn’t have anyone to pass to cuz he can’t finish and defenders just stay at home. I think we will start to...
You said that last year and he ended up at 39% which is above his career average. Could be injured or could be variance. Dame’s 3’s have been...

The best defensive teams lower their opponents’ scoring below the average by as much as the best offensive teams score above the average. So I think...
According to every advanced analytics rating system I looked at (EPM, BPM, PER, Darko, Lebron, Raptor) CJ is currently better than Simmons. It’s...
There is a 0.3% chance that a 37% 3-point shooter will go 2-24 or worse - at least if he were a binomial distribution. So you can expect this to...
Looks like Dame had peaked and RoCo is probably fading. https://apanalytics.shinyapps.io/DARKO/ Click Historical Career Trajectory and put in your...
Too late.
Go Blazers!! The last thing you want to do is make HCP right. His head is big enough already.
Is this the new lean and mean style of game thread?
As I recall one season that team averaged over 60% FG% through the first 11 games. That’s ludicrous to do for even one game. They did it not by...
54 will be closer than 41 unless we get hit with too many key injuries.
