Man I just watched the ending to the Pistons and 76ers game. All I can say is that 76ers are fucking overrated as a top 3 team in the East and Embiid need to stop talking so much shit cuz karma is a bitch! Embiid talked so much trash this game and even got Drummond ejected by taunting him. 76ers deserve this loss!

MIT Sloan Analytics conference last week. Nylon Calculus with some takes on it, if anyone interested. This was in there as well.

Other quick notes on Fultz:
- They still don't know if changing the shot caused the injury or if the injury caused the changed shot.
- No timeline. Could come back in days or could be out the season.
- Has to completely rebuild the muscle memory in his shooting mechanics

This story is so bizarre.

Cavs insert Calderon into the starting lineup then proceed to outscore the Pistons by double digits in each of the first 3 quarters. Have a feeling we're alone in 2nd shortly.

The Nets are fun to watch. Yes really. D'Angelo Russell is a star.

I'm posting my Kyrie trade in here as well.


Cleveland sends Kyrie to the Spurs
Phoenix sends Eric Bledsoe to the Cavs
San Antonio sends Aldridge to the Suns

Think about it. The Suns get a veteran PF to play with the young guys while freeing up minutes for Tyler Ulis & the Spurs get their top notch guy to play next to Leonard. I know Bledsoe isn't on Kyrie's level, but he's a solid enough starter & actually put up very similar numbers to Kyrie last year (21/5/4 for Bledsoe, 25/3/6 for Kyrie). He'd be a fine fit next to James as well for the season & if Lebron does go, at least they'd have Bledsoe & Love to build around. That's not a bad 1-2 punch in the East.

EDIT: Trade works as well. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y9qxkabj

Found a couple of fantastic articles on a site recommended by Zach Lowe.

The first one came out during the Warriors Spurs series and is all about switching on screens

The second one breaks down how the Warriors absolutely torched the Cavs transition D in the finals.

Also wondering if anyone has checked out this site before.

I see that the Knicks are having troubles finding a President. Who would have thunk this were possible a few years ago... no one wants the job ?

Wow, Chris Paul to the Rockets ... him and Harden will be a nice pair. Especially now that Harden doesn't have to PG and turn the ball over like 14 times a game. Lol

Hey, we all like them Jan. Seriously though, I don't think that's how it went. lol
