So it's something that is pretty generic and not too meaningful i guess.

BTW here is the link: http://www.espn.com/nba/stats/rpi/_/sort/SOS

So i guess they don't factor in away games or home games....

Anybody here have a good database on refs and their tendencies? I've got something solid but not good enough.... Would love to discuss with like minded people!

BTW some random thoughts and comments about this season:

Certain "stars" are getting the bad end of calls, i love it

some players like up and coming superstars, especially dazzling ones like kyrie irving is just getting calls just like IT last year, don't like it....

Victor Oladipo is a total boss, period.

Billy Donovan's job has to be in jeopardy..... i dunno....

Celtics will prob crash hard in the playoffs, fact!

With Curry out, GSW is going to show just how sick they are i think....

Detroit seemed so ****in good, but are they just going to breakdown like orlando?

Houston probably isn't for real tbh, they are fighting for their life every game....

Ben Simmons: We know you're talented and have incredible skills, but do you have to do a no look pass every time?

Will the East run out of gas soon? They came out with a blazing start to show the east-west discrepancy might be gone, not so fast lol.....

much more thoughts, sorry for ramble, don't post much here

Houston fighting for their life every game? They have been blowing teams out every night, only last night was close because the Pelicans decided to not miss any 3s for 3.5 quarters.

HOU's point differential and SRS rating is identical to the Woyas and crush the rest of the league.

George Hill unhappy after Scott Perry promised him, Zach Randolph, Vince Carter that Kings would compete for playoffs
This is the guy who refused a 4/81 extension with the Jazz and signed a 3 year deal with the team that traded Cousins for Buddy Hield

I think he's not very clever, and his agent is terrible

Why is it so hard to see past ref schedule, i mean it's all out there but there isn't a compiled list.

For example, a profile of the schedule of the ref in the past. I know for future games that is not public.

i dunno why I waste time arguing with you guys.

the fact that houston is blowing teams out, just shows that they are exerting all their effort in every single game right now trying to get home court over GSW.

most teams don't play all out the entire season, and smartly so.....

either way, they're not going to beat GSW, not a chance, they might win 1 at best.... they could bully the rest of the west, not a big deal. actually with kawhi back soon, they can't even beat spurs in a series of 7 guaranteed.

with that said... james harden is one hell of a player this year, hes definitely gotten better from last year, much more explosive and stronger.... it all depends on james harden, im not sure how much stronger or explosive he is. the only chance houston can do anything against GSW or Spurs, depends on how good james harden can be in a series of 7 where teams play all out.... i dunno, maybe he did get this much better in the offseasn and can endure a 7 game series of all out bball.....

PJ tucker at C is interesting. Doesn't seem viable against teams that can score in the paint though. Course, they said the same thing about Draymond, but he's a different caliber of defender and is bigger/longer. Tucker does "play" big though

Edit: Wonder if the Celtics have tried or will try it with smart

Pretty sure the rockets used this lineup in their comeback against the WOYAS actually

Pj Tucker has been huge for them. I think PJ can definitely play the C, he takes up enough space and is strong enough to bang with the bigs imo, creates match up problems too cause he can stretch out hte floor with his ability to hit 3s at least from the corner, and he can def hit mid-long range jump shots in rhythm.....

6 game losing streak, getting owned by the Plumdog, no Mitchell we got a white duke dude(he looks ok not his fault Mitchell is going to be a multiallstar), and were now 7th in the east. I'm thinking i fell for the November smoke and mirrors. Should of blew it up like i said at the end of the last season.

MEAT WALL is always good to get outscored 17-2 in a hurry at anytime.
