Yup, I'd buy Nets over Chicago and Indy for ring equity but if take Chicago for wins. Indy vs. Nets wins is probably really close. I'd lean nets due to sick depth and potential granger aids

You pretty much need to be a bulk scorer to win this
Also awards voters seem to like a storyline of a new guy improving a team. Both CLE and Da PELICANS should be much better(if not playoff worthy), so those would be my bets for sixth man. Reke probably my favorite since he'll likely get more playing time with Gordon being fragile and Austin Rivers being Austin Rivers.


MVP: LBJ

MIP: Brow(Beal if Brow gets hurt again)

COY: Rivers is essentially a superlock for this, right? He could show up hungover and let CP3 run the practices and still be >>>> VDN



Rather than just ranking them b/c who cares, actual predictions:

1) I think the Knicks have significant lottery potential, people are forgetting that we all lolled about their ancient team last and then they sneakily won 50 games, but now they are even older and have no bench. We were right to LOL then and we are right to LOL now.

2) People are sleeping on Portland.

3) Miami will not rang.

I am wanting to book a bet for the Dallas Mavericks season win total (homer bet obviously). I am thinking we could just split the juice, so both sides get better than if they just bet on bovada or some other website. I am willing to bet up to 500 but would want an escrow. If anyone is interested in the bet, let me know. I'd be willing to take bets from multiple people (that total up to 500) as long as we only have 1 escrow.

I'm sure it's obvious because of my screen name, but I want the over on the bet.

FYI, I posted this same bet in the Prop Bet thread.

The first chart, by Div Bhansali, shows every player in the past five years who's shot more than six threes a game, plotted against their three-point percentage. There's Ray Allen, at the top of the cluster on percentage, and Ryan Anderson's last two seasons are near the cream of the group. And there, outside them all, way off in another cosmos, is Steph Curry.


Quote:
Same goes for the bunching in the second graph, by Aleksey Nozdryn-Plotnicki, which shows the average distance and location of all shots by notable players. There's Steph, revolving around the rest of the league like a rogue satellite, canning threes from deep orbit.












but the playoffs...

bobbo, you hadn't offered a bet so there wasn't anything i was negging on. i presented you an offer and didn't ask for a line, which you also could have provided.

anyway all you had to say was "no thanks."

i will however book chicago wins vs nyets for $200. (i get chicago)

i'll book pacers vs nyets for $50.

post in prop thread to confirm

Love the optimism but they suck. Embrace the suck, if it happens long enough maybe someone will assassinate Sarver and we can have a legit NBA team again.

Just bumping to lol @ myself and give props to westhoff, plus it's end of season so time to revisit the predictions (at least the standings portion).

Well Brow put up 20/10, and Rose was the most lol piece of pussy trash in the league so I'm giving myself 1.75/2 for this one.

The knicks are a disaster ,or relatively so for a team with a ~90 milly pay roll. Rankings later
heat coasted but bosh didn't go that ham consistently. whiffed on the blazers/grizz/rose. nailed dirk/hgh. basically hit the knacks

edit: plus curry not missing much time
