Does anyone dislike Dirk?

He's just so affable and toothy.

The only people who dislike Dirk dislike themselves.

No line was up. Good to know tz looks out for more than just young Geoff's haircut preferences though

That Portland win has to be one of the biggest of the year. It was literally one of the hardest schedule losses against the hottest non-spo team in the league.

The Nurk you've seen the last four games is a reasonable facsimile of what he will be going forward. Some great plays and some absolutely terrible plays, leading to an average player overall who looks anything but.

Also, all its gonna take is him playing as long as LeBron does and being healthy. His career average is actually slightly better and I think his scoring ages better than LeBron's will if they both play til they're 40 or something. This would mean health is the biggest hurdle Durant has to at least making a run at it.

I also think LeBron probably finishes as the all-time leader and if not he will be 2nd barring some major injury trouble or retiring early. He is gonna finish this season 9th all-time and will get to 6th or 7th next year depending on Dirk.

all Durant has to do is not get hurt, which has been more likely than not the last few years

yes he does

Wait isn't this just a graph of who has the worst team without them? Shouldn't it be a subtraction from how good the team is with said player on the court?

I mean, Russ's is like a net +14.7, whereas Lebron's is a net 16.7.

Holy hell at Lebron's net rating over his career, dude is just INSANE.

Apologies if this was discussed already.

Also when Russ sits it's been Semaj Christin, Cam Payne and Norris Cole. It's impossible to get worse than that this season. This greatly inflates the Russ on/off. Cavs something like 4-16 when Lebron doesn't play since he got back from Miami fwiw.

Looks like it comes down to Durant's injuries two years ago where he missed 55 games. You got me. Guess Durant was a young sophomore and Lebron an old freshman or would have been.

Blazers are the 4th seed.
Jazz are the 5th seed.
Knicks are the 4th seed and make the ECF.
Kawhi Leonard is MVP

Finals: Cleveland in 7 over Warriors.

Blazers? Knicks? Leonard will be 4th or 5th perhaps.

You did nail the Jazz, and Cleveland can only lose title due to injuries.

Does anyone actually think Cleveland will even be challenged in the EAST playoffs?
If someone gets two games off them I will be surprised.

I am sorry Pistons fans, but your coach is absolutely terrible and should be fired

Last night he called a time-out to draw a Drummond post-up on Gobert. A ******ed 5 year old child could draw something better than that

I could definitely see the Cavs taking it "easy" in the East and maybe even getting a Game 7 where LeBron GOATs it up because he's the most clutch player of all time.
