Many think this will be a great game, but I think it will be a demonstration. KD, Curry, Green, Iggy, Klay, vs. Wokyrie. Tough to call. | ||

I even understand this, and I'm nothing more than an unashamed bandwagon fan. The only people confused about this are the casual observer that checks boxscores until playoffs start and they become, "Literally, the biggest fan ever! Like, Lowry man, and DeRozan... jeez!" His scout uncle who watches games in the side lines with him taught him that, leave him alone. | ||

Rubio was bad not just statisically but on both ends. Could have been an off night who knows but last night it was not close. Twolves clearly thought teague was a better fit for them. They both have different strengths. Everything i have read about hill is he has disapointed in sac. He is going from a better team to a worse team which usually leads to a bump in usage and stats. Hill has regressed in both. Its fine your opinion is that. But that doesnt make it a fact. And it is a fact that in the game last night rubio was bad (gobert didnt make he go 0 for 6 for mostly open 3)have more turnovers then assists and do nothing to slow teague. One night for sure Teague >>>>> Rubio Edit: because you clearly cant read i didnt say teague is a better player or rubio is worse. I said teague was much better last night. Seriously you have 0 reading comprehension. Edit 2: since i didnt quote your post i must not have been responding to it. Heck im not responding to you now. Im editing for everyone elses benefit since many people have said they dont like the back and forth filling the thread. You have shown on every thread you either dont care about others or you are completely socially unaware. Either way it has got you banned before and im sure it will happen again. On November 16 2017 10:50 JimmiC wrote: Exactly, I'm purposely trying to avoid that discussion because it would be with you and I don't enjoy those discussions nor do people on this thread enjoy reading them, in fact I purposely quoted someone other then you as to indicate that I was writing to them and not you. Its funny how you say such stupid shit that you can't even live by it for a day. "if i do not quote your post i am not providing a rebuttal to your post. if you decide in your own mind i'm providing a direct rebuttal to your post when i do not quote your post you are living in your own dream world." And your stupid shit made even less sense in the context you used, since you posted directly after me, exactly about what my post was in something completely unrelated to anything you were talking about, whereas I quoted someone else. Turn down the narcissism, not only was I not talking to you, but I'm activity trying to avoid conversation with you. On November 16 2017 11:57 JimmiC wrote: Which was exactly my point with you. But i understand what im doing. There is 0 point explaing my position because even if its proven correct (like it would be) you would just argue relentlessly over and over. You would move the goal posts and use every other logical fallacy you could and never admit a slight bit of fault or error. No matter how clear or how many explain it. So there is no point especially on an issue so ridiculous that no one cares. Could i start a seperate nba thread free of jimmyj and thos who wanted to stay here could and those who wanted to mobe could. Hell those who wanted to post or read both could? Can this be done? Oh boy. I've told you plenty of times already. We already know for a fact that he just copy-pastes stuff here that he doesn't understand, and when someone who does challenges him, he disappears. We also know that he is incapable of intelligent discussion. Just leave the poor guy alone in his bubble. Didn't you notice no one even bothers responding to his long posts and picture stats. | ||

It ain't even close. Defensive metrics indicate OG is better than DD. it ain't close. However, I've already said i would not substitute OG directly for Derozan. Furthermore, the line up modification i proposed in previous posts would be experimental....lowering DD's minutes and increasing OGs minutes is an experiment well worth attempting. | ||

But right now where we dont know what will happen no one is going to say if its fixed or if hes going to get injured. The simple concept that correlation does not equal causation is another common weakness of data and theories. I'm not an expert on landing mechanics, but I did some research to respond to JJ. If by good landing mechanics they mean land ball first, then I disagree that Wade and even DRose have bad landing mechanics since, and I think I've posted some actual pictures from vids about this in the Offseason thread, almost always land on ball first. Wade and Rose's injuries I think, my non-expert but keen observer opinion, has more to do with their explosive foot plant when they do side steps and their violent velocity when attacking the rim. As for Kobe, you and I both agree that JJ's claim about his bad landing mechanics and one foot landing which led to his injury and shortened career is garbage and funny. So moving on with the topic at hand. Embiid always seem to land with his full weight. Last night vs. the Lakers, he chased Ball's awkward angle layup, and Embiid just barely thinly grazed by someone else on his way up, Kuzma iirc, and that caused him to lose control and land flat footed and fall. In another game, he went to contest KD drive and no major or even remotely minor contact whatsoever, he landed as if someone pulled him down a la 80s era Pistons shenanigans. It must be his upper body control or just poor balance. But he really should work it out. He, Simmons, Redick, and the rest of the team can really be the next East super team in a year or so. By the way, any update on Jah? | ||

I think the reason people try to pick apart D-Wade's form because he just has such an odd gait. It looks like he's just taking all of the force on his calcaneus. | ||

Which is weird for Embiid since you have to act against your body to land heel first after a jump. It's so unnatural. I think the reason people try to pick apart D-Wade's form because he just has such an odd gait. It looks like he's just taking all of the force on his calcaneus. Agreed. | ||

I wonder who made this arguement before.... I mean, of course effort plays a huge part. We've all seen enough of Derozan to have observed the differences between nights where he tries hard on D and nights where he doesn't. The statistics are, at best, predictive based on the principle that "the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour." If your argument is "stats can't predict a change in attitude or environment" then you're right, and you've exposed the limitations of statistical analysis. It's why teams still rely on people who have keen eyes for talent in order to assess players based on the "eye test." But I'd bet if someone were to seriously compare the two methods you'd find more similarities than stark differences, with a few outliers like Tom Brady sprinkled around the graph. | ||
