Dude never deserved the hype. Dude was making all-star games year after year over guys like Dame while putting up 20/3/3 (albeit with good defense). I never understood it, but I’m glad people are starting to come around.

Jesus, that sounds so distopian. Is that for real?

If they make the finals this year; are we still saying it was an overpay?

Of course. But then again, there would be almost no trades that fail by this metric. That’s the whole goal of making win now deals.

Props to /u/DilipKSV , too.

Who would down vote this? Lol

Cade Cunningham hits a shot, but it’s on the wrong basket.

He’s like the anti-Curry. Him turning around after a shot guarantees a miss.

I don’t care about the loss or the shitty foul calls. I loved what I saw from the young guys. The play wasn’t even particularly good for the most part, but you can see them learning in real time. Sharpe, Scoot, Camara, and Jabari are making strides, night after night. It doesn’t show up in the box score yet, but I am confident it will in time.

Man, time really flies. My gut reaction was to say no given how he played on Portland not all that long ago. But then I realize he actually played here half a decade ago.

It’s on the Blazers for losing that game, but man the refs didn’t do us any favors. One play in particular Grant got straight up tackled by Portis, yet there was no foul. Dame took off on a fast break and missed a layup, but was gifted free throws. It was so stark it was jarring.

That’s so disrespectful. I love Nurk. lmao

I was such a spiteful little shit about the Heatles. LeBron is one of my favorite players ever now.

Knee injuries everywhere.

I’m at the age where I barely even understand what the kids are talking about anymore.

NBA evaluates referees’ performance after each game with a “game observation report”. These game day observations are provided to referees in bi-weekly performance evaluations. Referees also receive more comprehensive mid-season evaluations from coach surveys and even more comprehensive end of season reviews from the league’s referee operations staff, using input from coaches and data on call accuracy. At the end of the season 36 referees are selected to officiate games in the playoffs. The number of games that referees are assigned to AND their placement among the top 36 has a huuuuge impact on salary, so there is a lot of incentive from their perspective to get things right.

Your tiers 2 through 6 seem like they were randomly generated. How is Gary Payton in the 6th tier? How is Iverson #2?

Dame’s lucky he’s sitting at 24.8 points. lol

I mean, the Pistons have only had two 500 or better teams since 2008. Hard to put that blame on one dude who was there for four years.

He probably spent a lot of extra money on training with everything he earned off his NFT scam.

I dunno but how tf is Ivey only playing 20 minutes a night?
