"things that make you go hmmmm..."

LBJ was connected to the florida biogenesis lab in 2013.
LBJ's incredible season at age 33 reminds me a lot of Rogers Clemens' season at age 34.

The Lebron PED stuff is retarded, even if true. The fact is that the NBA has entered an era for all ballhandlers similar to the current NFL era of quarterbacks. Just like 5000 yards is the new 4000 for QBs, a triple double of 30/10/10 in todays game is the equivalent of 20/6/6.

Saric ended up apologizing for the very late lay up in the Cavs//76ers game. He should've just run out the clock. oh well, at least he apologized.

Washington is 2-1 against Toronto this year and they play Toronto tonight. All 3 games were without John Wall.

Toronto's Bench Being Taken Seriously
Teams have started altering the timing of their substitutions to match their starters against Toronto's bench.

Ahahahahaha.

JR Smith is such a clown. I hope the Cavs can't get rid of him.

Would you consider Tim MacMahon's articles on Joe Ingles examples of internalized racism?

meh, Kyle Anderson's nickname is also "slow mo".

NBA Math took a closer look at the Wall-less Wizards in this article.

i think the Wizards are better without Wall. It'll be interesting to see if he changes his playstyle upon his return.

Did you even read the article you linked? That's a textbook case for why they need Wall. Guys are playing at an unsustainable rate and the offense is functioning differently out of necessity.

They would get clapped in the post season and of course we'd hear they needed an upgrade at PG from people like you.

they've now played 25 games without wall... 15-10. better winning percentage than with Wall.
without Wall there are a bad match up for Toronto.

It's also a better win percentage than all but 4 teams in the league, including the Cavs with LeBron. This is why no one that has a clue does that. Least if you stated point differential I'd halfway believe you weren't bullshitting.

bullshitting? i call it like it see it.
they look better without Wall especially now that Satoransky has secured the starting PG spot.

The Raptors Bench Mob rescuing the Raptors ... again.

Casey is playing Malcolm Miller over Norman Powell?
makes me wonder what is happening with Powell off the court...

Pizza Pizza ads, mall autograph signings, whatever else NBA players do when they can't play and have spare time.

You will just pick whatever single number is enough to seemingly prove your point, regardless of any other thing.

"Their winrate is better without Wall". If this doesn't work:
"Wall's TS% is bad." If this doesn't work:
"Wall's VORP is below all-star average." If this doesn't work:
"Wall's xRAZBPMAM is huh, well I don't really know but my uncle scout takes me to games sometimes to watch them from closer."

And it's always some attempt at discrediting second-tier stars and glorifying some bench guy that's been doing well in a specific situation over a small period of time with absolutely no pressure. I remember those countless posts about how DeRozan shouldn't be a starter or whatnot. You just have no idea what you're talking about, you're just looking at numbers and sometimes at games when your uncle is kind enough to take you to them. Every time I open this thread it's just more of the same...
