I ended up posting the quoted post below this at the back end of an old thread in response to something else but probably should have put it here in this thread as it's more up to date. This reflects my feelings on the issue. I'm anticipating we move back in the lottery, whether by odds or any...

Alright, I've had this post and I guess this is just the best place to put it. It gets really touchy when we start talking about things that approximate conspiracy. It's understandable. My working theory (broader than basketball) is that there are these developmental stages we pass through and...

On a more serious note, though we always criticize small sample sizes, it's important to recognize the signal that ungodly numbers can indicate. I don't mean small sample sizes are are meaningless (like Kessler going 3/3 from three in a game or something like that), but something more sizable...

I’ve seen enough. Start the MVP chants.

19 rebounds per 36. G League is 21 per 36. College 15.4 per 36. Rodman was career 15 per 36. His college was 16.5.

The sample sizes are too small (you’re looking at a sample of ~30). But it’s also complicated because it can’t take into effect lots and lots of noisy data. I’m going to make a larger post about this later. I think too often people have a very all-or-nothing view of this, like the league is...

He had 44 points and 36 rebounds today. That’s gotta be some kind of record. https://gleague.nba.com/game/mxc-vs-slc-2022400450?view=box-score https://www.nba.com/game/was-vs-uta-0022400627/box-score

Win-win.

Alright, so I was in a Wendy’s in 2006 in Pickerington, Ohio. I saw two guys who looked like each other, like twins, glasses and all, and looked just like The Proclaimers. Didn’t think much of it. About 9 or so months later I had looked up online and saw they did some kind of benefit concert in...

Bringing your own condiments and toppings. I like it. I've also pretty much ceased ordering cheesesteaks from sit down restaurants, mostly because I find a lot of them underwhelming. Anyway, when I would, I'd always order a side of mayonnaise. It's some unwritten rule of the universe that when...

My wife and I went to Bout Time a couple years ago. I can't remember what I had. I believe I had wings but she probably got the Philly.

This thread is about politics. I'll move it over to the political sub.

I'm sorry if you're put off by anything not dipped in live marsupium juice.

My introduction to cheesesteaks was from The Philadelphian in Sandy. All through middle school we lived across in some apartments across the street. What's best from there is the pepper steak with everything (cheese, tomato, lettuce, hot peppers, pickles [I take those off]). Their hot peppers...

This may be like getting a PhD from a correspondence school for “life experience,” but I’m at a point where I’ll accept it without any second thoughts on whether we earned it. Get Ryan on the phone and we’ll hoist the banners at the next home game.

I also forgot to mention: Does anyone remember when retired players were being used in "sign-and-trade" deals as salary ballast? Two examples include where Keith Van Horn (who had been retired for two years) signed a contract with Dallas (and traded to NJ) to make the Jason Kidd trade happen...

Also signifies that the league will not allow us to grab the #1. Imagine the outcry of a team winning the lottery “who were fined for tanking!”

From last night: I bat a thousand.

Also, all the talk over many years (decades) about tanking and cracking down on it is probably a lot like when they cracked down on CBA circumvention with… Minnesota and Joe Smith. Or when they cracked down on flopping by fining… Reggie Evans. This would be a prime time for the league to send a...
