Looks like 60 wins will absolutely guarantee 1st place in the west. That’s going 18-10 to end the season. More than reasonable. Try to get as many of those 18 wins as possible sooner rather than later in order to secure the first seed prior to playoffs. I’m guessing the Lakers end with 62 wins.

Weve seen this before in our teams history.. Our team went on a run. 2 in a row. Or a 3 peat. Then drop out of contention. The toll. The run. The fatigue. Etc. The warriors shot their Wad. Theyre done. And that trade package aint gonna do it.

I think Miami gets him personally. Butler is there, money is there, Riley and Spo are there, standards in terms of fitness are there, and the East is still there for his taking. Plus they still have Nunn, Bam, Herro, and Robinson as his core

Yeah, but we treat the family right.

Clippers clowning Memphis... It's funny watching them after watching us this season... They're a team that can look like a complete mess on the court at times, and then you look at the score and they're up 20... We look like we're rolling and you look at the score and we're up by 2. They're defense is pretty special though and their role players are a tier above ours... But still, it's weird how they can blow teams out looking like their offense is broken... And we are getting oops and easy dunks and be barely scraping out wins.

The free throw rate they get and shoot, the threes they take and make, etc is the margin of difference. Bron drives like 13x a night on average for 5 free throws a game whereas Lou can get that swaying 15 feet away. AD gets beat up on his post ups, thus all the pads and doesn’t live at the line. And then we have Dwight getting hit and Kuz who knows he gets hit on his drives and doesn’t hide his frustration when he picks himself up. It’s basically ref respect and we take more 2s than them.

Their vaunted defense is soft as charmin in the paint when Zu sits and he sits because he can’t contest anything outside the paint when you run pick and roll his way

Where can I find +/- for individual games, for individual players? To be more clear something that would show:

OFFRTG
DEFRTG
NETRTG

For the minutes a player played for a particular game.

EDIT: I found it

Is it just me or did it feel like the clippers didn’t need Reggie Jackson? I know Paul George is his boy but he’s getting end of the bench minutes now.

A lot of what they did was to keep guys from going to other contenders, like us, in particular. There really wasn't any other reason for it. I think Morris to counter LeBron was the only move you could look at as a legit need... But even that was probably unnecessary because Kawhi does fine on LeBron.

Man... If you wanted to create a legit twin towers thing... There are few options that would be better than Embiid/AD... But Embiid is such an annoying child and only brings it half the time...
That said, I think he's on his way out of Phily and is probably going to be easier to get than Giannis.

Did LeBron hurt his groin again? He's reportedly out for next game due to groin injury.

Look who we’re playing.

I would add coaching staff needs to figure out sets and offensive gameplay outside of Bron. The warriors would be a good game to figure some things.
