Is that unfortunate for him or for them?

Last year's winner was near the bottom this year. Just saying.

don't remind me

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it

hey fellas, sorry i haven't been too involved this year with posting / the community. I have a minor tear in my shoulder so I may actually miss out on the Sunday basketball this year. Hope everyone has fun!

Crow, I'm PPPbasketball. Those are just my predictions

that's a wonderful chart :thumb:

Looks like I disagree with a lot of rankings as far as the Suns are concerned. People seem to think Frye is good (because of his RPM). I think he's not a difference maker.

Can follow it up with a link later, but wanted to get my predictions in before the buzzer. I rounded everything and made records set to 1230, which makes this look a bit more glossy but trades off a little bit of accuracy. Cleveland Cavaliers - 65 LA Clippers - 61 Goldenstate Warriors - 55 Phoenix S...

I think "if perfectly healthy" / those mins are guaranteed, 65 wins really isn't a bad line. That said, there is no way that team maintains perfect health.

It happened playing competitive basketball.

I think you're giving too much credit to that scrimmage by calling it "competitive".

was a pretty brutal injury. hate seeing that stuff, unfortunately caught it live. pretty sure the stanchion was 2 feet closer than nba regulation, which means that was very preventable. pretty sad. that said, i hope this doesn't scare off US players from playing internationally. that injury really c...

This is really good stuff. Thanks for posting. I echo Crow's question. I would have thought coaches would already notice a big enough difference, but then I hear Randy Wittman defending his team's steady diet of 2pt jumpers by saying they're taking open looks, which (to him) means they're "good" sh...
