Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

rockets only 1 game back and they own the tie breaker

Pelicans have a higher chance of trading for KD and Curry than the Warriors do for AD. People out here thinking they Lavar Ball and can speak a Marcus Smart/Draymond Green for AD trade into existence

The amount of people that think NOLA's going to give up a Superstar for crumbs to help out contenders is hilarious. Like they grow on trees or some shyt.

It's been real quiet recently talking that sweet stuff about the Rockets

I need @Absolut to help me understand how the Cavs lines at this point. For the entire month of January my math model has liked whoever the Cavs are playing and yet the market seems to overvalue them. It's actually influencing my decision making because I keep thinking the lines can't be this wrong every night.

People still think this Cavs team is gonna flip a switch after the ASB...i keep saying this team is dead,its not the same team anymore.

That Warriors announcer, Fitzgerald I think is his name? bytch ass cac is even saltier than the Coli's own resident Warriors stans.

He's easily surpassed Heinsohn for me.

You watch with warriors broadcasters

Because it doesn't matter what Houston does in the regular season, it only matters what they do come playoff time.

23-4 with Harden and CP3 and two of those Cp was getting back and injured in the 4th so whoever was talking must have been real giddy for no reason. Pathetic honestly, but

Yeah, cuz it doesn't matter for any other team but Rockets

How are two All Stars crumbs, breh?? Only Boston can possibly make a better package, but even then Nola would be getting POTENTIAL instead of sure things. A market like New Orleans can't afford to blow it all the way up or they will fold and go to Seattle.

Yup, There's no switch at all.

In general, I'm not a fan of giving great players the benefit of the doubt when trying to determine if a team playing poorly will improve. At some point, there has to be some key variable that can change or more often than not that thought process has disastrous results. It reminds me of the end of the NFL season. I watched Vegas hang a line of Seahawks -1 in a week 15 game in which the Rams held literally every advantage (offense, defense, oline, dline, rb, wr, corner, safety) and yet the benefit of the doubt had the market believing Russell might pull out a win. They lost 42-7. Finding the balance between maintaining your prior beliefs & processing new information is difficult but it's fascinating to see how it's still the prevalent sentiment that the Cavs are coming out of the East. I really don't get it.....

So Dallas just goes on a 15-0 run to start the 3rd quarter, huh?

Not every all star is equal in quality

One of the greatest shooters of all time that is a two way player, and a defensive player of the year. Who is offering a better package? Remember this is the Pelicans. If they roll out there with a team of prospects they will lose that team in that market.

Edit:

Holiday
Klay
?
Draymond
Cousins (assuming they re-sign him)

Breh anyone whose watched the Warriors play for more than 5 games knows them 2 nikkas wouldn’t be shyt in a different system.

This line of thinking is what convinced teams to give garbage ass Joakim Noah the bag
