Season not over folks

*NEW* GameDay Thread Rule:



-Trade Talk only allowed pre-game, half time, and post game.



When the game is live. Discussion must focus on live game.



Trade talks during game have become too disruptive. If you want talk trade during the game. Use the official trade talk thread



Next we got the mention sign up list for game day alerts. We will start from zero. So, last year mentions will have re-up for this season.Request to be apart by mentioning me in a post below @Taker597 or LIKING this post.



I'm doing things a little different this year, but drop all the the tiers in the 1st week. If you want to be in specific tier. Just post which one you wanna be in, but there is one golden rule.Only 11 users can be in the Herb tier. If you don't post in the game thread on a consistent basis. You'll be bump down a tier

9:00 start time. My favorite.

 

[Kendall.boyer45]

9:00 start time. My favorite.

Even better, we get 3 games in a row at that time

 

[Grumpy Old Manatee]

Ah well. Plenty of time for a Power Nap prior to tip-off. Just need to remember to set an alarm.

I don't even know what to think about this team. After the atrocious homestand, do we even want home court for the playoffs?

 

[Chris]

Going visit Smoothie King now.

Me too.

Just FYI. Watching the BOS vs MIL game now. And if you don’t realize yet just how important the 3 point shot is in today’s NBA. Go check that score and 3 point stats right now.

I get what you are saying, but that game and score tells me me nothing other than Mil is shooing +60% across the board. If you are shooting +60%, you have a better than average shot at winning

We all know this.

We have a few guys who shoot the rock pretty well.

Would I like Z to hit 40% from the corner? Yeah. Would I like a "modern" big? Yes and know.

So warriors, clippers and thunder

 

[Infoman]

It’s not just the percentage of 3pt made or shooting percentage. It’s attempts. And good attempts. You miss 100% of the ones you don’t take because you can’t trust the players to take them.

Modern NBA dictates that your best player can’t be a guy that attempts 0 threes a game.

Even bad percentage 3 ball shooting bigs like GA attempt 200 or so of them a season. Z takes like 20 of them a season. It’s not sustainable in today’s version of the NBA.

So yeah. More shooters. Or early offseason.

 

[Infoman]

So BOS has managed to get closer. Because they have attempted 42 threes before the 4th. So makes at 3 are now even at 13.

It’s crazy math. But it’s just math.
