It's hard to stop being depressed when you're staring down the barrel of 11 straight losing seasons.

But I will admit I like Hield and Skal and the way the team is playing together recently. And I like watching Cousins self-destruct, I guess now the rest of the league might have an inkling why we weren't willing to mortgage our future on that fucking guy

My favorite part of the stat sheet is only 9 team turnovers tonight, including 0 from D'Lo in 33 minutes.

I think tonight shows exactly the balance that we want to have in 2 or 3 more years. D'Lo taking 20 shots leading the way. Ingram and Randle have a complete stat sheet with 11 shots, and Clarkson filling that 6th man role. The only change may be that D'Lo and Ingram switch roles at some point.

And since I didn't mention him yet, I am in love with Zubac. Such a good draft pick.

Who has the best nickname ever? LeBron "King" James? Michael "Air" Jordan? Ervin "Magic" Johnson? Larry "Legend" Bird? Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwan? Kobe "The Black Mamba" Bryant? I say King James (because of the Bible reference and also "king" is pretty amazing of a nickname to have), Magic, and The Black Mamba are all way up there. Inb4 The Mailman.

Magic and The Dream are a tier above everyone else. Iceman George Gervin is an honorable mention

>>74598678
Iceman is a pretty slick nickname. I would include shit like "Manimal" but I think it needs to be iconic to really count as one of the best. Magics is by far the most iconic, but I don't think that's all that matters.

>Wonder why it didn't work

>>74599402
This

Two passing big men that can't shoot consistently, with one being back to the basket heavy won't work.

Jokic is perfect in a small ball system as the lone center. Same with Nurkic.

Modern PFs need to be stretch 4s.

>>74599462
Jokic and Nurk both need the ball in their hands to be effective - Jokic gets great passes off the cut and Nurk BBQ Chickens guys in the post.

>>74599470
Jokic does shoot consistently, check his PER and see how it compares against guys who shoot as often as him (since we all know chucking increases your PER). And Nurkic is pretty efficient for being a back to the basket guy.

>>74599470
It would work fine if the team had talented perimeter players. A lot of halfcourt offense (Princeton) today was ran with the Kings when they had Webber and Divac passing out of the post.

>>74599539
But Jokic only gets spacing as being a after thought in pick and roll for his threes, he's not a true shooter. His stroke is slow and practiced. Not effective as a mobile stretch 4.

>>74599805
You're right, Jokic only shoots when he has space and not off the bounce. He gets space from his ability to pass, where his defender drops toward the hoop in order to defend against the cut. The option is either defend the shot, defend the cut, try and do both (normally not possible due to a screen), or double and hope they won't make the extra pass.

He's able to consistently shoot, but I get what you mean in that he's absolutely nothing like an Ibaka or a Millsap in that area.

The thing I hate the most about Westbroke, is that his ball hogging triple double meme is throwing his teammates under the bus since it gives the impression that he's doing everything by himself.

Who would wanna play with someone like that? personally, I would leave as soon as I could.

>>74601180
This just makes Westbrook look like the MVP tho.

>>74601344
by causing a smaller difference?

>>74601218
As you posted this, with a SAS image, this post >>74601180 completely exposes your ignorant garbage of an opinion as false.

That or you're a really bad troll.

>>74601353
Westbrook turns a team equivalent to last year's Sixers into a playoff team.

LeBron takes a team that's already playoff worthy to the top seed in the east and would be 4th seed team if in the West.

The difference is much more significant if viewed that way. You're looking at the net and not the actual difference in offensive efficiency numbers.

>>74601380
And not to mention the Cavs stagger the minutes of their stars

Then you take into account most of the season LeBron was leading the second unit with Love and Kyrie off and even then they were awful in those moments so LeBron really doesn't make that much of an impact alone and needs at least Kyrie with him to make a net positive lineup.

>>74601403
Is Dennis Smith legit?

>>74598859
He was called King James ages before he was in the league shit head. Where do you think the King James bible came from? Gee maybe it was King James of England. It has nothing to do with the Cavaliers though.

Maybe because net rating is more important than offense because it also includes defense. Why would you take offensive efficiency over net rating?

>>74601411
So why doesn't Kyrie have a +15 difference?

i hate bIacks

>>74601180
The crazy thing is, that's with LeBron more or less coasting right now. He's obviously saving some of his game for the playoffs.

The Cavs would be so fucking lost without him.

>>74601434
That chart is PPP of on off numbers which isn't NETrtg, it's offense.

If it was NET it would say so, and if defense it would use the term "allow PPP."

>>74601466
I'm interested in seeing net rating. But as far as I know, offensive efficiency is points per 100 possessions.

>>74601442
Because Kyrie by himself with only Shump/then Korver after the trade, Liggins, Frye/Love, TT had a worse rating than when LeBron was on by himself.

Overally during their wins the Cavs made sure to keep LeBron on the floor as much as possible even in bad lineups then after Love got injured they went on the losing streak and everyone's number got fucked up.

>>74601380
>LeBron takes a team that's already playoff worthy to the top seed in the east and would be 4th seed team if in the West.

The Cavs without LeBron would be horrible, are you kidding me? They'd be lucky to grab the 8th seed in the East without him.

Kyrie has continually proved he isn't capable of carrying the Cavs to a winning record without LeBron running things. Whenever LeBron is off the floor, the Cavs always devolve in to a fucking mess.

>>74601487
If LeBron plays with the 2nd unit then the only helps to bolster his case because evidently the 2nd unit doesn't affect his points per 100 possessions enough. If they were that bad then the team points per 100 possessions wouldn't be so bad. For real, the Cavs are absolutely lost without James. Their lack of wins does work against him though which is why I think Harden is pretty deserving. But on he real, LeBron has deserved more than 4 MVPs so far. Derrick Rose and Steph Currys 1st MVPs (dude had weak numbers) are no brainers to me.

>>74601476
This is the source btw.

It's pretty much mostly a opinion piece that improperly uses advanced stats to create a strawman argument for LeBron while dismissing all the other MVP candidates by nit picking certain issues, like how Kawhi is a worse defender than LeBron because the Spurs' DEFrtg is worse when he's on the floor than off, but no one would say LeBron is a better defender than Kawhi.

>The Cavs without LeBron would be horrible, are you kidding me? They'd be lucky to grab the 8th seed in the East without him.

Sorry but that's not an argument but so appeal to emotion.
That team, with time, and other role players to fill the void if LeBron where to leave, would be a playoff team in the East, which isn't hard to do.

God damn that was awful. They were treating him like the second coming of Christ.

>>74601529
It is really fucking weird that the Spurs play better defense without Kawhi. It's possible he doesn't play into their system enough. I don't think Kawhi is a legitimate candidate though, when you look how the Spurs play when he's not there.

I'll give you this though, LeBron is not playing at the level he can. But now people are arguing Kawhi is the best player in the world and dumb shit like that. If LeBron wanted to badly win the MVP every year I'm sure he could most years.

I'm going to sleep.

Nothing should make it more apparent of how much of an empty stat padder Westbrook is than these numbers. He is sniping rebounds on a team that doesn't need him to help rebound, but racking up assists on a team that is generating terrible ball movement. Literally the opposite of what you'd want in both regards.

All the other league assist leaders also have their teams as a whole racking up a lot of assists, which means they're actually correctly facilitating their offenses, while WB is counterproductively stifling ball movement.

There is also absolutely no reason that a PG should ever be grabbing over 10 rpg, especially on a team that has Enes Kanter and Steven Adams. That's just a joke.

Westbrook is unbelievably talented, but stubborn, selfish, and stupid. He is not actually helping his team win games with his retarded play style, he is just needlessly inflating his own stats.

>>74603074
And this is why harden is my mvp. When he's on the court the Rockets offense is an unstoppable 3 point chucking machine. Westbrook has an extremely high usage rate but his offense isn't really outstanding and flowing like hardens is. I know their teams are structured differently but still, hardens offense is a fucking juggernaut and westbrooks is clunky as fuck

It isn't about stats, it's in fact the opposite. Most of the damage WB does to his team can't be shown using stats. You have to use common sense and experience to see why WB doesn't belong in the MVP conversation.

WB's teammates look like they suck because he's making them suck. Players need to touch the ball often and be given plenty of opportunities to make plays to feel engaged with the game and build confidence.

Any time Westbrook DOES pass the ball to a teammate, they get nervous and feel obligated to force something to happen because it might be one of their only chances in the entire game to score.

If you are however confident that you will see plenty of opportunities come your way, you're far more willing to make an extra pass to a more wide open player than take the shot yourself which creates great team ball movement.

Westbrook is completely failing as a team leader. Almost all of his positive contributions are being erased by his detrimental ball hogging and statpadding.

Harden is going to win MVP because he is the most-likable and most-talented player in NBA currently.

>Lebron, on nba championship team and is still doing worse than this years Larriors version? definately undeserving. needs to win another championship before he can rejoin mvp contention conversations.

>>74607367
Main problem was Harden should have been running the point instead of WB. Westbrook should have been the 6th man because his tendency to ballhog would be fine when he's playing with the second group, and he'd just single handedly destroy other teams benches.

Harden and Durant should have been separated from Westbrook as much as possible and only play together for parts of the game.
