|
Feb 26th 2013 | 1
|
 thank you, shells. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 2
|
| NOOOOOOO |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 3
|
| i understand what agenda means. i understand what free means |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 5
|
| btw Olbrecht turned down the C's to sign with us |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 4
|
| beverly looks like a baller, too |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 6
|
 definitely an upgrade over TD |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 7
|
| Beverley IS a baller... |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 8
|
| he is.. if he only had 2 more inches on him |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 78
|
| I like how you skipped the part where Morey likes D'Antoni's Suns |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 9
|
| why wouldn't someone like those teams? |
|

|
Feb 26th 2013 | 108
|
| Seemed simple & straight to the point right? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 118
|
| Maybe we live in the world where teams like to win chips. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 12
|
| HUH NICE DUDE! |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 14
|
| I know we spent an afternoon arguing that point about a year ago |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 16
|
| One win a away. Still didn't win though. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 17
|
| or model yourself after the 20 "normal" teams |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 44
|
| Well it kinda does, cuz a team playing that way has NEVER won. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 59
|
| so you're good with a 1/20 over a 0/1 |
|
Feb 27th 2013 | 134
|
| I'm blown by the whole no playbook thing... |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 13
|
| that was surprising to me, too, THAT I'd like to see in a 7-gm series |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 15
|
| the point is that golden state is lucky and not good. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 18
|
| and Morey is a pig in shit cuz OKC wouldn't pay Harden the MAX |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 19
|
| LOL |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 21
|
| or maybe HOU would be 15 over .500 if they ran actual plays?? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 24
|
| so you're just spiraling into rabid idiocy here? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 25
|
| you're the one saying a team can only be as good as its projected record |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 26
|
| and Felix Hernandez totally didn't deserve that Cy Young |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 27
|
| (pssst -- I think you replied in the wrong spot, this is a bball post) |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 28
|
| just one more thing in this post you need to think through some more |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 29
|
| baseball is an individual game, basketball is a team one |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 30
|
| you're being just as obtuse as guys who hold losses against pitchers |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 32
|
| you're comparing baseball to basketball, your faith is blinding you |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 38
|
| that's totally not the point |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 43
|
| it is the point -- y'all are getting dogmatic about advanced stats |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 58
|
| i admit hoops stats guys are in their joe shehan intolerable phase |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 70
|
| I actually agree with both of these statements: |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 71
|
| ok, sure |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 73
|
| no one here is even that dogmatic. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 90
|
| That this post is a GM argument pins that historically pretty well |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 119
|
| add in NBA is capped w/ form contracts, it couldn't be less analogous |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 120
|
| Why are your words? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 121
|
| it's a note to whoever is making it -- it's dumb + needs to stop |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 122
|
| Perhaps it would make more sense under a post which says so? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 126
|
| I don't think this tells the whole story tho |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 41
|
| thanks for this. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 53
|
| lulz (again) |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 31
|
| I get it -- but the immediate dismissal of the GSW approach is comedy |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 35
|
| helllllo argument from anecdote! |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 45
|
| what on earth are you talking about? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 48
|
| yeah, it's comically obvious GSW has a better W-L record than HOU |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 61
|
| a nice hello to you, mr. strawman! |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 112
|
| cmon. ur better than this |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 22
|
| they added a healthy curry |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 20
|
| that too. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 23
|
| can we wait until they're actually, you know, good? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 33
|
| that idiot should have traded for three hall-of-famers. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 34
|
| imagine what a genius morey would be... |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 36
|
| i wish I had the stat handy |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 39
|
| He's been G.M. for that long? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 37
|
| he was just on the hot seat last offseason |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 40
|
| This whole love affair with dude has a Lesson-head vibe to it. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 42
|
| lucky=compiling stuff that other people wanted to trade for |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 46
|
| No, the luck was OKC being ultimately forced to trade Harden.. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 51
|
| except the rockets and people who understand advanced stats |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 54
|
| SPM isnt scared of math at all |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 62
|
| i miss the days of me and SPM riding that GOATWAVE |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 93
|
| Dude, I don't care about any of that. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 68
|
| But what's the alternative? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 80
|
| I know winning in the NBA isn't easy. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 85
|
| right? like HOU is the only team to ever discover above .500 ball |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 88
|
| Exactly. And better teams at that. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 91
|
| Nobody has annointed them and expects them to win it this year |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 96
|
| honest ? -- how different is this from what Don Yeltsin did in the '80s? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 102
|
| Agreed...kinda. I don't see Hou much further from Ind or Mem |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 101
|
| exactly, like his bad defense |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 106
|
| Man Indiana is definitely a contender. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 107
|
| Indiana has had the 3rd easiest schedule this season |
|
Feb 27th 2013 | 130
|
| save face on what exactly? everything i've said has become truth |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 109
|
| we had to put ourselves in a position to make that deal |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 56
|
| I dig that. They put themselves in that position by... |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 64
|
| Now (answer to your last question) |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 76
|
| Okay cool. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 84
|
| Why is Trob a headache? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 89
|
| All 3 are talented. And super aggressive. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 95
|
| I thought you also said something about trob being a bit of a headcase |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 98
|
| Yeah, T-Rob plays pressed and Royce got his own shit. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 100
|
| They weren't "forced" to trade Harden. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 63
|
| You know what I mean dude. Lol |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 66
|
| there was no "oh shit" moment, they had the HOU deal lined up |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 69
|
| I do think that they could have gotten better for Harden |
|
Feb 27th 2013 | 143
|
| and they've done fine w/o Harden, despite what prognosticators said |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 67
|
| I was never a "OKC IS DOOMED" guy. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 72
|
| I think either way they're good to be honest. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 75
|
| and in a capped league, production : value is a GM's job to determine |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 82
|
| You mean matches Harden's output in OKC, right? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 92
|
| yeah, that's what I mean -- Presti replaced Harden in the OKC system |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 97
|
| it's a culmination of hurt feelings really |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 49
|
| lol |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 52
|
| This Rockets team is overachieving, period |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 50
|
| actually, i said they'd make the playoffs. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 55
|
| they will if theres no big injuries. |

|
| You Realize That |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 116

| yes, everything is predicated on being able to make 3s |
|

|
Feb 26th 2013 | 86
|
| All the players you named are older than Lin too. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 94

Feb 26th 2013 | 99
|
| What about the "advanced stats" tho? |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 104
|
| his 13 and 6 is right around what hill and conley got $40 mill for. |
|
Feb 26th 2013 | 114
|
| And they both got longer deals if I'm not mistaken. |
|

| It's A Bad Contract For the Retaining Teams |

| It's also hard to be a contender with a star |

Feb 27th 2013 | 141
|
| gotdamn some objective perspective!!! |

Feb 27th 2013 | 131

| 83 percent shooting is like letting 2 bill russells play at once! |
|
Mar 04th 2013 | 153
|
| it's a solid starting lineup |
|
Mar 04th 2013 | 154
|
| the bill russells are the 2nd and 3rd best defenders in that lineup |
|
Mar 04th 2013 | 155

| i'm just worried they don't have enough offense. |
