Leastern Conference indeed.
BTW, for anyone with a PS4: Resogun is the shit and should be played immediately. Incredible game.

Amare needs to just retire already
Rondo probably won't step on the court until next year. The tank is going fine.
What does the conference imbalance have to do with the league's talent level? It is caused by how terrible most of the Eastern Conference teams are being managed.

You laugh but Westbrook would be putting up those kind of shots on a regular basis if he was playing without KD.
Gondo pls, I'm hurting right now.
He kind of does even with KD. The difference is that Westbrook is top 10 in the league in getting to the FT line, which makes a big impact on offensive efficiency.

How could you when you're more worried about what LeBron is eating for dinner?

Given the option, I'd rather know what Bron had for dinner than know where Watson was playing this season.
I bet he gets his steaks well done.

nah
Bosh: Well done
Bron: Medium rare
Wade: Raw--i'm talking really raw, don't even sear that bitch. Raw and wiggling.
You can bet its going to get worse. Without guys coming out with more experience/skills/maturity , teams keep hanging on to "veterans" and "unproven talent".
Yes, the eastern conference has a handful of teams with bad management, but its not like theres that many talented players to be had around the league, the roleplayers n bench warmers arnt even like they were in the past

You play with the heat online? Eww
There was an article a few years back that stated that Lebron likes his steaks well-done, with ketchup, and that he has it cut up for him into pieces.

Clips are 7-3 with the toughest SOS thus far and what is practically the league's worst defense.
This is unsustainable.
This is unsustainable.
What you said had absolutely nothing to do with what I posted so I don't know why you quoted me. The league could have 10 teams with college graduates only and you can still have imbalance if half the league is being managed poorly.
You rant also makes no sense when it comes to Western Conference being superior for more than a decade now despite the lottery system favors the weaker teams. Talent level is relative and if you replace the whole league with high school kids it would still be like this with the same managements.
Clippers:
SRS: 6.13 (5th of 30) ▪ Pace: 97.6 (8th of 30)
Off Rtg: 112.7 (2nd of 30) ▪ Def Rtg: 108.3 (27th of 30)
Blazers:
SRS: 5.50 (6th of 30) ▪ Pace: 93.6 (18th of 30)
Off Rtg: 110.6 (3rd of 30) ▪ Def Rtg: 105.4 (18th of 30)
Blazers > Clippers

Both our teams are not going to be able to keep this up.
Yea I'm doubtful.
But... but...
LaMarcus: 12.2RPG last 5 games. Could this be the year?! COULD IT?!
I used them when Yakhouba Fucking Diawara was a rotation player. I will most certainly reap these benefits while I can

Man too many days off without a game, run us into the ground so we lose more, schedule!
Anyway, for those that play the 2K games, I'm assuming you can't update rosters between seasons, right? Otherwise no one would buy the next edition. I ask because I've heard great things about 2K14 but I'd rather wait until Wiggins is on the Suns roster

fuck 81 points, this year he's going for 81 shots
SRS seems kind of broken if Portland's cupcake schedule so far is considered one of the toughest.

if that means more lost games, i'll motherfucking take it!
SRS does not just take into account your opponents' strength, but also the margin of victory/defeat.

You haven't even begun to tank yet and now Kobes on his way lol
I think the tanks going to shut down on the corner of McAdoo st and McDermott avenue brah
Misleading because the suns, rockets and spurs (all in their last 5 games for portland) all have winning records.
I like how the Bobcats have a SRS of -6.5 despite their .500 record, LOL.
If the playoffs started today, there would two Leastern Conference teams with losing records in the playoffs. The 8th seed would have a winning percentage of 0.36. Extrapolated, that would be like a team winning 30 games and making the playoffs.
Portland's margin of victory over their last 6 games is +9, which is really good. Three of those wins also came on the road.
Simply put, that's what good teams do: win big and win on the road, especially against "easier" opponents.
Not sure what people expect. Noone is saying they're legit, but the stats back up their record.

Well, SRS is basically a formula using the point differential of your team adjusted with the average point differential of your opponents.
The Bobcat's point differential is -4.4 and since their opponents are mostly crap teams like the Knicks and the Cavs so it's not surprising.
SRS does have its problem though. Blow out games will inflate or deflate your rating too much.

I have no idea how a crippled Brooklyn team with a 3-6 record is a 2 point favorite over a Portland team with an 8-2 record, even in Brooklyn. I know the Clippers nearly got upset by them, but the Clippers also lost to the Lakers and the Magic.
