i have something to say about the offseason THE 2016 NBA OFFSEASON

(LA Times)

not sure what to think about it tbh

“Best wishes,” Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald told Rose. “Except when the Knicks play the Lakers,” he joked.

the fuck kinda trial was this

judges love making comments like this

there may still be a criminal prosecution

civil trials usually require a fairly low threshold of culpability to award damages. if the jury awarded nothing at all as damages, then it might be not merely a weak case, but an extremely weak one, so that a criminal prosecution would be quite unlikely if that's true.

Warriors...

... vs. Lakers

Man the dubs look ready to roll.

Well they slaughtered the other la team a few games back.

Good to see KD and Draymo goofing around.

five days. im dying.

video autoplay on EVERY sports article these days is the worst shit ever

truth

u all got to install a flash blocker

i, clay, would win the dunk contest if i chose to compete fyi

i dunked once. please give me the dunk contest trophy

hmm no im the big dunk man

kinda awesome

hitting the random player button is fun

think it needs a category between all star and mvp candidate tho

it loves ben simmons and isnt too crazy abt devin booker, young players are the hardest to project tbf

i was surprised by booker too. it LOVES marcus smart

it seems to weight defense pretty heavily i.e. smart & justise winslow are valued twice as much as booker

it has the 2015 rated this way

1. towns
2. porzingis
3. russell
4. winslow
5. cauley stein
6. hollis jefferson
7. booker
8. cameron payne
9. kaminsky
10. myles turner

my guess is they still have a decent amount of college projections built into this (i.e. the model is pretty high on kevon looney, who has basically played in the nba) bcuz they're pretty low on booker and turner

ya what i figured too

soooo apparently the name for the hipster nuggets sleeved unis is "white pride jerseys" http://www.denverstiffs.com/2016/10/21/13358494/denver-nuggets-white-pride-jerseys-2016

well sleeved jerseys are literally Hitler

Heh I clicked random a bit got a bunch of average starters (including Carmelo! Uh oh) some second round randos with virtually no data a couple decent guys then Lebron showed up

I was just thinking a little today about Lebron in games 6 & 7, those might be the greatest individual performances since Jordan to me

I really believe most of Lebron's mind is a hyper advanced basketball computer and sometime in the middle of that series he just fed it all the data and it spit out a way to win

you mean 5 & 6 xp?

other players will prob have better seasons but if you want someone to win a couple games bron is still yr guy

def

i will probably never find it in my heart to "like" lebron or even genuinely enjoy his style of play but that block remains one of the all time great plays i've ever seen.

ur dum

blake griffin, "borderline all star"

lol

he didn't even play for the Celtics not sure why he's still on the roster waive him imo

otm

Towns looks really good tonight, I'm rooting for the ascension of the wolves

towns is insanely good

kat will prob be my favorite nba player by mid-winter

i want to say it's tim bontemps from wapo, windhorst from espn, and maybe others have said the twolves could get to 50 wins this season. i still think this is crazy but would like to be wrong

it's coming soon though

windhorst has been going to minn preseason games in person, he's driving the bandwagon

dont want to alarm u guys but im watching preseason nba and it seems like kevin durant is on the warriors

fuck
