the bbref advanced stats have rob as the celtics best player per 100 possessions and i'm starting to believe
― ciderpress, Friday, 17 June 2022 03:54 (two years ago) link
xp isnt that simply saying that historically teams with a 10 point lead at 3:43 into the game have won 85% of the time? or is it adjusted by some measure of relative team strength? (the models seemed to all prefer the celtics)
― ciderpress, Friday, 17 June 2022 03:57 (two years ago) link
for playoff games past the first round i would rather just know the raw win probability without taking the teams into account

also a great vaccination success story
It's crazy how perfect a fit he is for the dubs. My buddy suggested that now is the perfect time to trade him, while he's at peak value, but for the specific role he plays he's more valuable to the warriors than he would be for any other team.

anyway. let’s talk about basketball the good thing about these playoffs for celtics fans is that they got to see two of the greatest playoff performances of our lifetimes on their home court. they just happened to be by players not on the celtics

tatum looked so gassed and out of ideas by the end of the series. really weird to watch his confidence disappear, his drives were fruitless.
― Spottie, Friday, 17 June 2022 17:32 (two years ago) link
i honestly think he was just injured and exhausted some ppl itt saying hes got too much kobe have no idea what theyre talking about
― lag∞n, Friday, 17 June 2022 17:59 (two years ago) link
congrats to the dubs tho they were in a pretty rough spot with all the injuries and discontinuity at the beginning of the offs and somehow put it together

looking back on this I am just like “steph’s the best”
― Clay, Friday, 17 June 2022 18:04 (two years ago) link
i already considered him one of the absolute best ever but this is for sure a feather in his cap
― lag∞n, Friday, 17 June 2022 18:05 (two years ago) link
there’s tons of stuff you could say about the series but my initial read was that steph needed to put up a GOAT level performance to steal a game and he did it and it flipped the entire series and he was also better than he was in the playoffs or the regular season or any previous finals. i think that won out at the end of the day, he just did it all
― J0rdan S., Friday, 17 June 2022 18:15 (two years ago) link
his 1 on 1 defensive numbers from last night that they put up on espn after the game were crazy. he was basically marcus smart on defense plus steph on offense
― J0rdan S., Friday, 17 June 2022 18:16 (two years ago) link
Steph is the most magical player in hoops today.

― Cabernet Frank (PBKR), Friday, 17 June 2022 18:37 (two years ago) link
his defense is so solid and pundits still put him down on that side. he was hunted all playoffs and held up against the leagues elite. game 4 will be his remembered legacy game for sure. he's done this before but it was discredited for injury/kd reasons so its cool people can shut up about it now.

I mean if you have two evenly matched teams and you spot one of them 10 points and take 3 minutes of game time off, it seems to make sense that the one team suddenly becomes a huge favorite
― k3vin k., Friday, 17 June 2022 22:02 (two years ago) link
i think so too but people didn't seem to think 85% was realistic for it still
― ciderpress, Friday, 17 June 2022 22:16 (two years ago) link
Huh!
Mostly, though, Golden State became the NBA champions with the worst regular-season record in 16 years because they saved their very best roster, rotations, and defensive performances for last.

i thought when kyrie had that huge game 1 vs boston in round 1 that he showed an effective counter to the celtics overall size at every position was having a guy smaller than all their players who could blow past them and get to the rim and finish. kyrie peaced out of that series after game 1 and it didn't really flare up again because the heat and bucks both have a wing as their best on ball creator w/ PGs who are not going to consistently score off the dribble at the rim. but steph brought a bit of that back especially to close it out last night, boston was prob near dead at that point anyway but steph squased the comeback by daring anyone to stop him off the dribble
