Last one standing is the team virgin, right? That was the rule way back when Friday the 13th and Halloween were on their first movie anyway.

OT: but check out this paper on homecourt advantage

Read on Twitter


Driven by refs being slightly biased by the home court crowd.

This makes a lot of sense to me. Sound effects in a movie influence how the viewer responds to the film.

Add crowd noise, moans, groans & cheers and I can see how someone would be influenced by that.

Seeing Mike Brown makes me think what Eddie Jordan is up to these days.

I thought it was funny that David West is going after analytics when Kevin Broom really liked him coming out of the draft.


These nerds must be stopped. Get them outta basketball and back to their basements. Smh

Troll these nerds out of the basement and out of the game of basketball. Dorks sucked at sports but found a way in

It was cool when analytics was a tool in the toolbox. Now that **** is the toolbox itself which I think stinks.

3s and rim 2s. Don't shoot nothing else or else. This is data set driven basketball. Spreadsheet all Americans dictating basketball. Big leads aren't safe because players are programmed to keep shooting 3s.

Well, I mean they have been unwatchable for so long... Hopefully that will change but it is going to take a long time to reengage the base, IMO.
