OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

How come the teams are wearing away jerseys at home? and away teams wearing home jerseys? Is this because of Nike or...?

Nike

Rather than labeling their home and away garbs traditionally, Nike is renaming them “Association edition” which would have been home colors and “Icon edition” which would have been away colors.

The home team will choose, from night to night, what colors they will wear. But now, light colors don’t mean you’re at home. Dark colors don’t mean you’re on the road. It’s all flexible.

Over a season plus minus is a better indicator of a players point differential than one game.

Plus/Minus is a good way to explain the importance of Steph Curry and his gravity. Him being on the floor makes the team better its far from a dumb stat

Picking a game where an entire team is getting washed as an example of why plus minus isn't good is shallow and vapid.

I could understand that, but my thinking is it's based too heavily on your teammates performances/rotations for it to be a meaningful stat.

Giannis put up a 28 point near triple double on 50% shooting, yet Malcolm Brogdon has a higher +/-... if this happens over a game, i don't see how a larger accumulation of it tells me anything important.

if your a great player on a bad team your +/- is gonna suffer regardless. doesn't matter how well you play if your surrounded by bad players

Over time the noise of bad teammates and rotations evens out.

That's why it's works better in large sample sizes

I see. Dope

WCS looks like a sound cloud rapper

He's missing at least one of these tattoos

 

[djkaos23]

My Clips should be up by a lot more. If they lose this game it will be based on missed FTs

 

[firstclass]

Giannis low key got cooked when he got switched onto Myrie @addict4sneakers

 

[Peep Game]

Giannis low key got cooked when he got switched onto Myrie @addict4sneakers

Nothing low-key about it, it was nearly every possession

Again using one game to judge plus minus makes no sense.

Literally nothing in this in this game can be viewed on a one game sample size.

If someone scores 50 once do we say they average 50 PPG?

 

[chrisftdot]

Lol, Doc always getting Fckd over

 

[hardens beard]

This clipper blazer game is lit

 

[djkaos23]

1 score and 1 Def possesion. Game over. C'mon. Helluva game tho.

Ingram with his struggle braids and frail physique is the personification of a soundcloud rapper.
He drops a track and Wavy would post it here in seconds. He's got the requisite amount of tats too.

If they lose it's because Rivers is playing 40 minutes and Lou isn't hitting even 2ominutes

Too tall.
Not petite enough.

 

[steebie j]

ewww Rivers dislocated his finger

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Damn Austin

 

[Based Jesus]

Too tall.
Not petite enough.

His rap name would still start with "Lil" tho

 

[djkaos23]

Lou gave us great mins tonight but he's a liability on defense. He scored well tonight but we need Rivers def in crunch time.

 

[8pm at msg]

Dante Cunningham is trash

 

[SupremeBeing5]

10 reps I run on the court and pack Lillard out.

#Foggyvision

He didn't do it. Take your likes back everyone.

 

[chrisftdot]

That should be a charge before you call that a shooting foul

 

[chrisftdot]

Doc barely reacted to seeing his son dislocate his finger
