2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

They can only score in hoops 3.048 meters high. They can't handle this 10-feet crap.

 

Falls along these lines ...

 

Interesting if not surprising WSJ story on the secret to raising an NBA player -- be an elite athlete. (Dammit!)

According to a Wall Street Journal analysis of biographical data on every NBA player, 48.8% are related to current or former elite athletes—defined as anyone who has played a sport professionally, in the NCAA or at national-team level. While other leagues feature notable dynasties—the Manning’s of the NFL or the Griffey’s in baseball—only about 17.5% of NFL players and 14.5% of MLB players are related to other elite athletes, based on a similar study.

Why Basketball Runs in the Family

 

I thought that they were all thugs from the inner-city who could not compete in Jordan's era? That's what sports talk radio callers tell me.

 

Warriors we've been watching all season showed up tonight.

 

Raymond crane kicked another guy last night. And he's going to miss a game because he flexed his muscles in a front of someone too many times.

 

I can't remember the last time I was more intrigued about an NBA playoff game as I'll be about Game 6 in OKC on Saturday.

Even if Toronto wins tonight, the Raps are utterly incapable of even keeping it close in Cleveland, so I can't say the same about that series.

 

Technicals are a different batch of points than flagrants. He's playing Saturday.

 

yeah, bad wording on my part. It was more a prediction. He will miss a game when he muscle flexes twice more. He's an idiot.

 

I was pleased to see a 70/30 split between Playing Basketball vs. Being Draymond Green. I'd prefer 80/20 or even 90/10. In OKC it was 20/80.

 

So the Cavs are in the Finals again. <crickets>
