The NBA is dying

[sealybobo]

Nobody stormed the Capitol.

Anyone with two synapses to rub together could see that storming the Capital wouldn't result in zero fires, zero dead cops, and especially zero dead (or even injured) members of congress. Only people that died in that red-flag operation were unarmed protesters, you ignorant ass.

Clearly this is a byproduct of Nancy Pelosi providing you with a fake story that fulfills your media generated fantasies.

What a moron.

Crap, I thought game 1 was tonight? THURS? WTH?

Foud this. INDY has a chance? Sealy wint like? As they are DET rival?


3-point shooting
If you’re going to win in today’s NBA, you must be able to make 3-pointers.

That doesn’t mean firing up 50 shots from downtown, like the Boston Celtics. It means cashing in the long-range looks that you do get. Neither side is overly aggressive from beyond the arc, but the Pacers have been the better shooting team from the perimeter in the postseason.

Oklahoma City is shooting 36.6% on the year, with that success slipping to 33.6% in the playoffs. It’s averaging 12.6 made triples in the postseason.

The Thunder did improve versus Minnesota in the Western Conference finals (37.6% for 12.8 3PMs), but that still comes up short when compared to the Pacers’ consistency from distance.

Indiana is the fifth-most accurate team in the NBA from 3-point range this season (37.3%) and leads all playoff teams with a 40.1% clip from downtown, manifesting into 13.4 triples per postseason contests.

Several of the Pacers are shooting 40% or better from outside during the tournament, thanks to quick ball movement routinely creating space for shooters on the perimeter. While OKC may be generating more “wide open” 3-point attempts (no defender within six feet or more), Indiana is making those clean looks more often (43.2%).

I don't care who wins but it seems right now that OKC is going to win. But it always seems that way when the eastern and western conference champs are about to play each other. Every year we think the West is better. Hell, I hope Indiana pulls an upset. That would be cool.

But I also want OKC to win.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just seems deserving. But he's got to earn it. Win it.

I'm glad now that Indiana made it to the finals this year. Last year Boston beat them in the eastern conference finals. It's their turn this year. NY, it's your turn next year. We all hope. Would be fun to see you lose in the finals. LOL.

I was having a perpetual orgasm when sports people couldn't have their sports during the pandemic. I wanted it to last forever.

That's because misery loves company

Yeah, it's amazing how many miserable people lost their shit because they couldn't socialize or have their sports. Pathetic!

And you, a miserable person, loved the company. I get it.

It's not pathetic for someone to lose their shit when the power goes out. We love TV. But you. You're miserable even with the tv. Now that's pathetic. And it's pathetic for miserable people to want company. I'm not like that.

You don't like socializing. So I can see why it would make you happy to take that away from other people who do.

 

[mudwhistle]

What a moron.

Yeah..you are.

What company? I got to have whole parks and malls to myself or just one or two others of my choice. It was great! It just bothers you that I'm not as socially needy as you are, so you have to make up these impotent retorts about me being "miserable". LMFAO!

And yes, it IS pathetic for people to lose their shit when the power goes out. People need to get a fucking GRIP.

Also, I'm not one of these pathetic, jaded, miserable people who need the TV to be happy either! I am very comfortable without TV. Too bad for those spoiled idiots who are addicted to it and can't be happy with just the simple things in life.

So...tell me more how you needing social stimulus more than me triggers you!
