lol at h3ro in the lin thread...baiting people with the based god picture. And DY/BR still going in on people in there. smh, you guys are too old for that.

Simmons' linsanity mailbag, http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7579097/linsanity-bag was dope because of:

(PS: Did you notice Houston was awarded the 2013 NBA All-Star Game last week? My buddy House is convinced that was Stern's way of apologizing for screwing the Rockets over. It's like Warden Norton letting Andy Dufresne shine his shoes right after he killed Andy's buddy who could have testified that Andy was innocent, and throwing Andy in the hole for two months for calling him "obtuse." Sorry about what happened, Houston — here, shine my shoes with the 2013 All-Star Game!)

But for real. Stern fucked us with that Knicks pick. Shit is not looking good, unless Pringles checks out again shit is gonna be worthless.

plus :

I have enough faith in Carmelo's basketball DNA to say this with complete confidence: He will rise to the occasion. He will. You watch. This will not be HHH 2.0.

which is true. He's gonna show all you haterz

Come to Best India.


I'll bring extra Flagyll.

Indian curry gives me tenesmus and dyspepsia.

 

[giri]

Since most advanced statistics are offense-based I'm not all that surprised.

I think you mean, points based.

 

[Mothman91]

Guys, I'm off to class. I will be keeping along this thread, while I stare at my hot teacher. =c

 

[thekad]

pics or lies

 

[giri]

Embrace it.



I blame you, girich!

One of these days, I want to visit Worst Korea too.

Yeah, doing a stop over on the way too and from europe this year.

Then going for 2 weeks next year, after doing a tour of japan too.

Should be a blast.

Come to Best India.


I'll bring extra Flagyll.

There's a best india? Unless i'm Sachin Tendulkar rich, i didn't think there was.

 

[iamshadowlark]

Damn so they are really making another Nba Live?

Good. It's about time the superior series made its return.

 

[DY_nasty]

Good. It's about time the superior series made its return.

lol

I'll never miss unguardable Tim Duncan fadeaway 3s from the corner

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Embrace it.

I turned it off after about 2 minutes. Hey, I tried.

What I've been listening to a lot of lately is Bloc Party. Intimacy isn't nearly as bad as people say.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

lol

Dont forget the 3 point hookshots!

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

I think you mean, points based.

Efficiency was what I was alluding to but yeah

Acquired taste, Rodeo. Eye candy doesn't hurt though...

 

[Vire]

Pretty pumped for tonight.

I'm curious how Lin will do against our PG's...

 

[giri]

Lol

PER relies more on filling up a box score than it does with efficiency i believe. But it's been a while since i've bothered looking at the raw formulas.

 

[LuchaShaq]

Is that the actual PER list for PGs? Too lazy to check.

if so, lolinger

You people realiz per is a statistical formula not his personal rankings right? In plenty of articles/chats/columns etc he has put a lower per guy over a higher per guy. Don't be a troll

 

[giri]

You also realize that in 99% of cases he actually believes PER is the definitive statement, right?

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Good. It's about time the superior series made its return.

Yea 2k12 is a joke.

 

[The Chosen One]

The Knicks are still the Knicks. And Bron Bron always does well in meaningless regular season statement games. Plus the Heat are in the middle of a winning streak so expect for the Heat to embarrass the Knicks and make it a boring game.

That said, of course I'll watch the game just for the remote possibility that Lebron lays an egg against Lin/Melo.

 

[snack]

Knicks players that didn't play last meeting against the Heat:

Jeremy Lin
Carmelo Anthony
JR Smith
Steve Novak
Baron Davis

RUH ROH

Damage control before the game even starts?

I like a man of your style.

So if Lebron does well its only because he always does good in "statement games", even though this is only the Knicks? But if he does bad, it proves whatever crackpot motive you already may have had against him?

Cool.

HOLY SHIT MR FEENY IS IN THE CLOSER ON TNT

 

[Justin Timberlake]

they do have some pace adjusted stats. Reb%. TOV%. They have Team OEff and DEff.

Yes those are nice but I'd like more. I think a pace-adjusted box score feature would be nice; normalize everything to 100 possessions or something.

 

[Mothman91]

Wow Denver is two games ahead of .500?? I know they have some injuries but sheesh, I thought they'd be few more games ahead than that.

 

[DY_nasty]

That's what happens when you play in the West.

Meanwhile, Indiana's record. Proof that fuckbrawl works.

 

[rage1973]

Find a worse team in the NBA than the Lakers for the players 4 through 12. Even Charlotte's 4 through 12 would destory the Lakers.

 

[Xplatformer]

1. Chris Paul
2. Derrick Rose
3. Jeremy Lin
4. Russell Westbrook
5. Steve Nash
6.Tony Parker
7. Stephen Curry
8. Lou Williams
9. Deron Williams
10. Kyrie Irving
11. Kyle Lowry
12. Rajon Rondo

28. Ramon Sessions
29. Ricky Rubio

Fisher and Blake aren't on the list. Its 100% accurate.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Damn so they are really making another Nba Live?

Wait, seriously?

I'm cautiously excited about this. I have a lot of good Live memories. I still have Live 95 somewhere. (And Bulls vs. Blazers, too.)

Don't go giving Ryutaro his dream back. We already won (lost).

 

[Syphon Filter]

knicks time!

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Denver Knicks aren't playing silly.

they literally lost their best two players tho

not every team is good enough to weather that storm like the knicks

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Head you win, tails we lose.

Cool.

Is that really what I said? I thought I was rather clear. It's not about proving anything.

I stated what is likely to happen. Yet I still choose to watch for the hopes I'm wrong as I would take much satisfaction in seeing Lebron sully himself.

If that hurts your sense of well being, then you don't want to be around me come playoff time.

 

[giri]

Yeah and no. I don't think it tells you as much as you want.

 

[rage1973]

Knicks have a chance to win if Lin can control the flow and minimize the turnovers.

 

[Red Blaster]

Knicks have a chance to win if Lin can control the flow and minimize the turnovers.

They also have a chance to win if they score more points than the Heat

 

[ratcliffja]

The Knicks have a chance to win if they have more points than the Heat do at the end of regulation or overtime.

Edit: Wow, Red Blaster. Wow.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

They also have a chance to win if they score more points than the Heat

how big of a chance are we talking?

 

[Nori Chan]

fuck yeah harlans calling the la okc game

 

[Duki]

knicks have a chance to win if they dont forfeit and show up to the arena

punchers chance baby

 

[MiamiWesker]

Super hyped for this game. This should be awesome. Lets go Heat!

 

[Raw64life]

I'm a Knicks fan and I expect them to get demolished tonight. I'll be surprised if they ever get within single digits in the second half.

"You're welcome."

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Wade and Bron's fast breaks off of Lin and Co's TOs are going to be especially nasty.
