    2024 NBA Awards

    It's funny that Luka gets credit for dragging his teams to the playoffs when he has only done it in 4 of 6 seasons. He finished 8th in MVP voting in a year when they didn't even qualify for the play in.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    No worries. Agreed on small sample plus/minus. Just wanted to pull that post forward as an example.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Fwiw, I was talking about numbers like these, not six game raw plus minus: http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/round-2-celtics-vs-cavs.42603/post-6121010

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    You pose that question as if these things aren't related. I believe that's a fundamental misinterpretation of the effect that a Tatum has on the floor. Build walls, hedge, trap, throw extra guys at him in various ways, and that's why Brown and White are getting whatever the fuck they want...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    He built a McMansion on the top of "Ant Edwards is better than Jayson Tatum right now" mountain. So I don't think that it's fair to say that he's being a contrarian. He has a lower valuation of what Tatum brings offensively than some of us, but it's consistent with the hoop twitterati. No...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Great post. Team is smoking hot, offense is working. Tatum's gravity is part of that. Miami was basically covering Tatum like a 6yo soccer team covers the ball. We coasted.

    Tatum or Ant?

    Nobody is arguing against Ant's upside. No beef with people who think that Ant ends up better than Tatum. I think that it's unlikely but an understandable take.

    Tatum or Ant?

    Through that lens, sure. But Jordan as a year 4 player had four straight all star, ROY, an MVP and an MVP runner up, had led the league in scoring twice, led the league in steals and carried a dreadful team to 50 wins. Sure, if you think that Ant is going to win 5 MVPs and six titles for some...

    Tatum or Ant?

    Terrible comps for Ant? Absolutely. You trimmed the last part though: "Twitter is full of shitheads. " It's proof of that. Twitter comparing Ant to Michael Jordan is also proof. If we base on our discussions on "well lots of people on Twitter are saying", then we'll have a new "next GOAT"...

    Tatum or Ant?

    Remember how great Lauri Markkanen was on Twitter? "What's Kyle Kuzma's ceiling?" on Twitter. Twitter is full of shitheads.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    They'll absolutely get some, but it won't be a Dame/KD haul unfortunately (or fortunately). Of course they have picks because Stepien. But they're not flush with picks and likely won't be after the hypothetical Butler trade. If they get a first and a swap back for Jimmy plus a mediocre guy...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Some team that desperately needs a name. Houston has VanVleet (who's still good at least), Dillon Brooks, Steven Adams, and Jeff Green on payroll next year. Portland is paying big money to Ayton, Jerami Grant, Anfernee Simons, Brogdon, less to Rob Williams, Thybulle. There are some bad...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Not a terrible idea. I think that they'll try a switch approach to start with and see how it works, but there will be different looks thrown for sure.
