NBA

The offensive talent in the NBA has drastically improved over the years. Everybody is so gifted right now, with 3pt percentages never seen before and astronomical performances on a regular basis. However the rules and the lack of physicallity for the defense makes it basically impossible to keep up with the offensive improvement. Maybe hand checking would help to solve this. What do you guys think?

Once fox got ruled out i made the pivot onto davion/monk/sabonis from AD/mann/powell and its going to cost me a million dollars. Feel like it was the correct move but got punished with a blowout for no reason sadly. Hope you all had a great night tonight. Got a nice slate for tomorrow <3

If discord is something you are interested in, Will have a link below where i have in-depth content going over each slate, player pools for cash/gpps. cores and much more.

Edit: positive day with show down

Edit: PP -

Edit: simmons OUT - really like schroder. cam johnson really good value. mikal bridges is one of the better mid range plays on the slate. lonnie walker solid value but might be chalky. claxton doesn't change. those are the main guys that stand out. DFS playable

Edit: moody starting. fine value

Edit: beal and EG are out. i love nurkic in gpps. really like kd/book. prefer kd. royce very good value. grayson is fine. bol bol in play

During the NBA All-Star game coverage, I saw the network interview Ant who talked optimistically about the Wolves, how good he feels about where this team is going. Shaq: Yeah but until this team actually wins a championship, I'm not going to take them seriously.

Like are you fucking kidding me, you can't find any reason to get excited about a team unless they win the big one? A team that has historically been pretty bottom-tier, a team that suddenly has a rising superstar, a team that has spent most of the season #1 in the conference, and you're still telling me that you don't see anything there that excites or interests you in the slightest? A team that has reached the conference finals once in its entire history, but even if they reach the NBA finals, you'll seriously still go all Joy Behar "So what! WHO CAYUHS" on us?

I swear even if this team won the title, Shaq will still say "yeah but until you've built a greater basketball dynasty than the 1990s Chicago Bulls, I won't really give a shit." Even if the entire galaxy were about to be destroyed by an alien supermissile and the only way it could be stopped was if a man managed to dunk a neutralizing agent into a tiny hole and the planet chose Anthony Edwards to do it and he launched himself from the planet and achieved the most spectacular dunk in the history of humanity and saved us all, Shaq would still be like "eh I think Jordan would have done it better".

F these dudes, man.

Where do you think Jokic, Giannis, Luka, and Embiid will land when they are over?🤔

CraftedNBA has built out a pretty slick new interactive map that shows you where all NBA players come from. It truly is a global game.

I think Los Angeles has the best "team", but Yugoslavia and Toronto also have pretty nasty teams.

Has there been a 1 star high school prospect that actually improved significantly enough to make the NBA? We've seen 3 or 4 star recruits make it.

Just got league pass around all star break and it's been so nice to be able to watch the Thunder play every game!!

Hello, Nuggets fans!

As of late, I’ve been getting pretty interested in NBA basketball. I’m still a beginner, but I’m learning more about the game’s history and the teams in the league right now.

There’s just one small issue: I live in Seattle, and we don’t have an NBA team (yet). I was too young to ever get to see the Sonics before they moved.

The good news is that I’ll be in Denver in time for the game against Phoenix. So I was a bit curious on if there’s anything I should know or check out with the stadium, and any tips for going to games in general.

What tickets to buy, how to watch and root for the teams, things to do before/after the game, stuff like that. I go to a lot of Mariners games, but I imagine there’s plenty of differences between the two events. Finally, I’d love to know any particular players to look out for, whether it be stars, role players, or bench guys.

Should be pretty obvious, but responses are greatly appreciated!

There are currently 14 players in the NBA from Indianapolis or surrounding areas, giving us the most players per capita!

We're also #4 in overall quality.

Last week Russillo (maybe sarcastically but I actually think he believes it) said he was more accomplished than Jimmy Butler as an NBA comp. One slight he made about Jimmy butler was him posting about working out at 3am which was hilarious and ironic(our boy loves reminding everyone he grinds tape and takes note of sub patterns all week).

But Ryen wasn’t able to share what his NBA championship would be as a now content creator? Is it getting a script finally over the line? His own tv show? Let’s help our guy out here.

Embiid, Butler, Kyrie are already short on games. Some others are cutting it close like Hali and Mitchell, but will probably get there.

Here are my predictions:

1st Team: Jokic, Shai, Luka, Giannis, Tatum

2nd Team: Haliburton, Mitchell, Ant, Kawhi, Sabonis

3rd Team: Steph, AD, Durant, Brunson, Lebron

Maxey and Booker the only other two I really considered as having a shot. What do people think?

1. Conley: 48.2%—56 3PA.

2. SGA: 47.8%—69.

3. Sexton: 47.2%—53.

4. Wemby: 45.6%—57.

5. McCollum: 44.9%—69.

6. Kyrie: 44.0%—75.

7. Mil. Bridges: 42.9%—56.

8. DLo: 42.0%—69.

9. J. Murray: 40.0%—90.

10. Mathurin: 39.6%—53.
    .

11. Dejounte: 22.2%—54.

Highest volume pull-up 3P Shooter since the beginning of 2024 is Luka Doncic. 36.3% on 168 pull-up 3PA.

Just a lil rant... Guess I need to just vent!! When not placing bets on stars they go ham! But when you place those bets it's like they disappear. When you place bets on the role players they disappear, you don't they go off!! It's been a crazy season .Off by one or 2 points, it's like they are on here watching us! I say I'm giving up, but I'm still back tom! Lol lol.
