Analytics is a term that dumb jocks don't fully understand and use to make fun of the stat nerds who never laced dem up.
 
I used to wonder if Kawhi’a game would translate well once he started to age. Specifically if his shot would go to ****, but with how he’s mastered his mid range shot and his shot already being flat as is, it’s close to unstoppable once he gets to his spots on the court
 
tbh, play bron teams man-to-man. Doubling him only helps him. Play m2m and taking away with passing options. Let him have 50 if he wants. But when dealing with a viable threat, you have to take away something. His greatest talent is his passing. So take it away. Make him a scorer. A volume scorer. He'll wear down quicker and his percentages will drop. Can't allow bron to have free range in the half court. Even if he kills the switch, he's not scoring 70pts. If dudes would've stayed home on avery bradley, he wouldn't have had a career night. Stay home, see what happens. Next game they need to experiment, so they have a baseline of attack come WCF.
 
Yup. Actually, the first two meetings, thr clips did a good job of this. And yesterday, they had some success. But the breakdowns come from a lack of chemistry and experience. They have the bodies and personel to do it. Doc also gotta be smarter.

Picking apart a Tag and recover is like ABC to Bron :lol:. Flattening him out and playing him straight up with teamwork/communication is the way to go.

Back line and corner communication too.
In theory they have the personnel but he went straight through Morris twice at the end of the game too.

Also, no one is talking about the clips lack of rim protection. I believe they were able to run KCP off the 3pt line twice but gave up layups.

That's the difference between the two teams defensively.

hes gotta stop shooting so many 3's
hes shooting a career low 46% from the field
needs more load management
and he may end up playing less games than he did last season

I didn’t know that. His 3 ball seems like money whenever he launches it

But no they don’t need any more load management. They need to develop more chemistry. It’s obvious they need more chemistry on the offensive side because it’s just a lot of iso ball
 
NBA is headed to unforeseen territory with this coronas

no fan games are coming, players won’t play, games will be cancelled that won’t be able to be made up, etc

Games can still be televised my G, stadiums will have to eat losses. That said this isn't at pandemic levels yet so I wouldn't get too worried.

Fan-less games are the norm at sporting events (i.e. certain Olympic events, etc...).
 
People been speculating the playoffs will get pushed back due to the virus. That would be nuts.

Any word on fan decline so far? One thing I did notice....I went to Walmart on Saturday. **** was like a ghost town. It usually be jumping in there on Saturday afternoons.
 
Uhh the case is that Giannis leads the league in every metric and his team is at the top of the league.



The award is for 82 games, not 1.

And LeBron very well may be the best player in the league still, and there's a good chance he shows that in the playoffs again like he's done the previous 7 years he's been in the playoffs. But it's a regular season award and he hasn't been better in the regular season than Giannis this year.

I don't think anyone is willing to say that Giannis has been anything short of spectacular.

I also think it would be foolish to pretend like Lebron has somehow not been AT LEAST as good as Giannis has been ALL YEAR LONG.

I'm also not willing to ignore the fact that the level of competition is lower in the east than it is in the West on a night to night basis. Giannis is playing weaker teams more frequently and that's really the bottom line.

If Giannis ever adds range to his game, its over for everybody else. Once Bron added a respectable 3 ball that defenders couldn't sag off on, it was pretty much a wrap on teams thinking they could somewhat contain him.

but you can’t have games if players don’t play

bron already said he wouldn’t play. I’d imagine he’s far from the only one

Man I went to target and it was the opposite haha every soap and hand sanitizer was sold out lol

and I haven’t seen anything regarding fan decline but I think fanless games is going to happen and that won’t go over well at all with players
 
“Navigated a China controversy”....as a reason Bron should be MVP :rofl:



Both Rachel Nichols and Dave Mcmenmen are MVP voters btw.


What a garbage take, Kobe's death and the Hong Kong democracy movement should not even be included in ANY narrative. :smh: :smh: :smh:
