Yep. You ain’t no PAB like Hollinger.

This!!! <3

WHY tf is ELF on this team? FREE FRANK. FREE QUICK.

Leon Rose should trade ELF to the North Pole for a bunch of Christmas presents for Knicks fans’ kids!

WIN/WIN !

Frank hive checking in.

Jeremy Lin biopic?

Boogie Cousins is azn?

1. not about JLin
2. His nickname is Boogie, which is unoriginal
3. Movie is prolly lame if I had to guess

Yes! I'm going to morph ELF into ALF bc it's even more fitting! ALF even got ELF hair!

I have CB on ignore and have told him this several times, yet he's answering me lol.

There is no chance in hell that a buzzer-beater 3 is going to going in 45% of the time.

Holy ****. Have we ever seen ALF and ELFrid in the same place at the same time? They could literally be the same person!



Edit: I always thought it was ****ed up how ALF liked to eat cats and the family just shrugged it off. EATING CATS IS NOT COOL!

“Execution MAY have been sloppy” doing a lot of work here. Maybe if they were all on the same page that they’d take a 3 in that situation because they were playing the WIZ, the maybe those numbers are right.

How it ended up that was like a 10 percent chance to go in vs a 99 percent dunk.

They blitzed Murray on the play and one defender, not knowing where everyone else is, cut off the lob angle. The other defender played the passing lane to the other two shooters. MPJ cutting to the basket narrows the passing angle in that situation. MPJ was wide open in the corner and was the easiest target for Murray, who just straight-up failed to deliver the pass. MPJ's positioning doesn't stop him from getting a dunk/layup - he has a wide open lane to the basket which gives the passer the widest possible passing angle - Murray can throw the pass almost anywhere between the basket and the corner and MPJ is positioned to receive the pass. As it stands, Murray kind of panicked delivered a bad pass to the wrong guy. That sometimes happens.

I don't know, call me old school but **** it I'm not taking the 3 in that last possession by the Nugz. Give me the virtually guaranteed lay-in.

Then curbstomp them Wiz bitches in the OT!

Pritchard is playing like a G tonight.

But that's entirely on Murray and has nothing to do with going for a 2 or a 3 or anyone else being in the wrong spot. If his pass to a cutting MPJ was that bad, that could've been a turnover. The point is that it's correct to go for a 3 in that general situation and that strategy didn't cost them anything - an easy 2 was available even with everyone lining up at the 3 point line and an open corner 3 from MPJ has probably even higher win equity.

If James Harden keeps up his performance, posting sick $TAT$ and elevating everyone on the team, and the Nets get the #1 seed in the EAST is he the 20-21 NBA MVP!?

Candybar

Isn't 45% from 3=90% from 2 assuming the Nuggets are 50% in OT? Wouldn't they be favorites? Combine that with the fact that 45% from 3 is generous and 90% from 2 is ridiculous (it was literally a 4 on 1 with the 1 guarding Murray) and you are reaching at best here.

Who are the resident Celtic fans here? Can anyone explain why Robert Williams is not soaking up all the Boston center minutes? He's incredible.

Damn I just realized I have to root for the Lakers tonight, I am sick.

There’s a big difference between: Teams down 2 with little time left should generally take a good look for 3 instead of a 2

And

This Nuggets abomination of an end game where three guys, not just MPJ, sprinted to the line instead of going for a 99% dunk against a team they should crush wasn’t really that bad.

That play wasn’t a “strategy”. It was a scramble off a live ball rebound where no one knew what was going on the and game was going to end in 5 secs.

Edit: the fact that it’s hard to make a cross court pass with two guys running at you with 5 secs left could be a hint that maybe it’s not so sure that you can get an easy 45% three there

At half:

Myles Turner: 13/7/2blk
Trade Exception: 0/0/0

Celts up by 1 tho, so Ainge GOAT

That trade exception could be anything though. Even Myles Turner!

goat coach no way c's can possibly fade here...oh wait they've led in every game in the 4th and are 2 in last 32. And yes Timelord is Wilt.

Bagley has played a pathetically small percentage of his minutes as the lone big. The Kings suck and their defense especially sucks. I don't care if you don't think he projects as a good enough rim protector, your defense is already all-time bad, you should be focusing on optimizing the guy you drafted #2 overall less than 3 years ago. Offensively Bagley/Holmes together is brutal for Fox.

I'm not saying to nuke Holmes into the sun, this isn't an Elfrid Payton situation, but there are better way to do things and keep giving him his minutes. Start Fox/Hali/Hield/Barnes/Bagley, split up Bagley/Holmes as much as possible.

NBA couldn't figure out Hawks red and Thunder orange jerseys not a good combination

they made OKC switch to white at half time

I swear Holmes is the goat I would love him.

I wouldn't have even a wide open 3 @ 45%. In general play, yes, but with the the game on the line I would say it's sub-40%.

Also, I put a wide open layup @ 99%.
