Deleterious Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Figured we could use this for anything not related to the Pistons. Four fantastic games on Saturday. 1 Quote
Deleterious Posted April 14 Author Posted April 14 Play-In schedule. Tuesday has the 7/8 from each conference play each other. Wednesday is the 9/10 playing each other. Tuesday: Hawks vs Orlando Memphis vs Golden State Winners of those two games advance as 7 seeds. Loser gets one more game on Friday. Wednesday: Miami vs. Chicago Dallas vs Sacramento Loser is eliminated. Winner plays on Friday. Friday: Wed winner vs Tuesday loser for both conferences. Winner is the 8th seed Quote
buddha Posted April 14 Posted April 14 miami is not a good team anymore. i hope they can beat the bulls but i dont expect it. so much of their offense is watching tyler herro jack up shots now. no more playoff jimmy. Quote
Deleterious Posted April 14 Author Posted April 14 Think I would pick: Orlando Golden State Chicago Sacramento Then Atlanta over Miami Memphis over Dallas Quote
Deleterious Posted April 16 Author Posted April 16 Cheryl Millers little brother is a terrible broadcaster. Quote
Deleterious Posted April 16 Author Posted April 16 Props to Ja for coming back after rolling his ankle. That looked nasty. Quote
Betrayer Posted April 16 Posted April 16 Glad Memphis came back to make it a fun game to watch. Atlanta on the other hand...ugly. Quote
Deleterious Posted April 16 Author Posted April 16 I kind of like Minnesota +160 over the Lakers. Quote
buddha Posted April 17 Posted April 17 heat hunting vuc on defense. no rim protection, cant move his feet in a pnr. heat up by 20+ in 2nd quarter. Quote
Hongbit Posted April 17 Posted April 17 I’m not sure you’ll ever see a team play worse defense in a big game than what the Bulls are doing now. Embarrassingly bad. Quote

Deleterious Posted April 17 Author Posted April 17 Miami is tough when Wiggins shows up. He just doesn't do it enough. Quote
Hongbit Posted April 17 Posted April 17 I still don’t understand the philosophy of consistently doubling to contest a two pointer to give up a wide open three. Even more now I the playoffs when the refs will swallow a whistle in the paint. Quote

Even more now I the playoffs when the refs will swallow a whistle in the paint. Numbers. If a big is going off in the post and shooting 60% from that spot, you can send help off any shooter that shoots below 40% from three. Even a bit higher when you figure in the odds of the big turning it over when he tries to kick it out. Quote
Hongbit Posted April 17 Posted April 17 I wonder what the percentages look like for a quality shooter when they take a completely uncontested three from a favorable angle. Quote

No defender within 6 feet on a 3PTA: Herro 47% Bam 39.5% Wiggins 37.5% Rozier 35% Robinson 43% Burks 43.5% 1 Quote
Hongbit Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Bulls showing signs of life on defense but still turn it over and giving up too many offensive boards. Quote
Deleterious Posted April 17 Author Posted April 17 I still can't decide if I like the play-in or not. Quote

I wonder how the math translates regarding points since the uncontested 3 is worth more. Quote

I wonder how the math translates regarding points since the uncontested 3 is worth more. Well at 47% Herro is scoring 1.41 points per wide open 3PT shot. Someone in the post would have to shoot 71% to beat that. That is the simple answer. Post players would get a slight bump because they get more and1's. They also get the other team in foul trouble more. You also have to account for the big passing out and possibly turning it over. All that is above my pay grade. But i imagine all teams have people that know those numbers. Quote
Deleterious Posted April 17 Author Posted April 17 That should be a foul on Herro but its after the shot so the basket should count IMO. Quote
