Around the NBA - March 2018

Clippers have higher percentage. They are 8th. Period.

 

Pelicans are better without Cousins. Not worth the money.

 

No.

 

I agree, they are beer w/o him.
I feel bad for Davis as he seems to be hurt a lot every year. I think you could say the guy is injury prone....

 

Fun fact: I don't know for sure if our bench is Really Good in an overall sense, but they might be really good.

Our two best five-man lineups are the two bench + one starter lineups: Zach, Patty, Ed, Dame-or-CJ, Evan-or-Bazz. These lineups are +31.4 points per 100 possessions (Dame/Turner) and +26.1 (CJ/Bazz) per 100 possessions. Surprisingly, the ET version of the starting lineup is a respectable +9.7 (5th best 5-man lineup), while the Harkless variant is only +1.6.

Our best pairings: CJ and Bazz (+9.1), The Hardhat Bros Zach and Ed (+9.0), Patty and Ed (+7.5), Aminu and Nurk (+6.4).

Our only bad pairings: Dame and Harkless (-0.2), Evan and Nurk (-0.7) CJ and People Who Need to Have the Ball Passed to Them (CJ + Turner = -1.4; CJ + Harkless = -1.5).

Also, CJ and Bazz need a pair nickname.

 

Once again, Technically if the playoffs ended today the Clippers would get the 8th seed but that is impossible because they've played less games.

Question: How many games are the Blazers ahead of Denver, LAC, and Utah respectively?

 

You’re new here huh? It’s always interesting to see how people react to this kid’s asinine, unrealistic posts. His I know you are but what am I posts. Trust me bro, you are wasting your time with this 3rd grader. He ain’t changin’.
If he could see this, he’d quote where I said he was a “3rd grader” and reply, “5th grade!”

 

Excellent breakdown. Thanks
Although I would debate that ET needs the ball passed to him for a couple of reasons.

1) He is not a good shooter, so he doesn't need plays set up for him. (nor does he need to in order to help this team which you pointed out in your breakdown)
2) When he does score, he is usually creating his own shot off the dribble.

 

Yet another injury from a guy playing too many minutes. Rolling the same ankle on consecutive nights is brutal.

Getting increasingly fearful of Dame/CJ's minutes.

 

Thanks!

He's effective in the post, but that requires a set up pass, which CJ does/can not provide. His other moves which he can create himself are less effective.

 

C-Bazz, swimming straight through your defense.

 

Thank you, sir. It was a great win for a struggling program. Been some great matchups between the Dawgs and Beavs this year. We can raise a glass to a ducks loss against Utah tonight.

 

Mudiay is so bad that he can't possibly be that bad. He's that bad.

 

Or just CJ and The Bazz comin' through!

 

He makes Iman Shumpert look good!

 

poor D-Rose, first Jimmy Buckets took over in CHI, now he goes to the team where Jimmy Buckets leads the team again

 

At least iman has a sweet haircut and has likely shumped every hottie in hollywood at this point. Can mudiay claim that?

 

That's what rose gets for not developing his game outside of his freakish athleticism.
