roy?

Would you at least be willing to admit that he misses Kyrie/another primary ball handler?

If course having Kyrie on this team would make them better, I’m not sure I’ve ever disputed that

 

[BNC]

Thunder looking like a team that’s gonna give the Rockets some real problems next round

LeBron had a triple double. Not his fault his teammates sucked for like 80% of the game.

We expect greatness of him and he delivered. He can't do it himself.

How many triple doubles do you need to see LeBron get in the playoffs before you eventually realize that it's not a barometer for a good game for him? He didn't play well, and he certainly wasn't great.

Well if you hadn't corrected yourself, it would've been funnier as a sarcastic post haha

 

[Paulius]

So you’re not only reactionary about one playoff game but now after 5 minutes of a game?

Haha like u started watching nba playoffs last year

Oh wait, 2009 wasnt too long ago so it makes sense

 

[CameronCrazy06]

roy?

He's been the best first year player in the league, no question. Unfortunately, that's not enough to win the award this year. Sad!

 

[Paulius]

roy?

Yes!

I mean the 6th best point differential in the league

I feel like you don't understand what you're saying, so I went out and did the numbers for you to better understand. I use my Celtics as the counterstudy, but I can do it for more teams if you'd like as well.
 
The Sixers had a margin of victory of 4.50 points per game this season (3.59 for the Celtics). After removing the statistical outliers, it becomes a 4.20 margin (Boston also has a 4.20 margin). Then, once eliminating non-playoff teams, the number becomes 0.74ppg, which is less than Boston's 1.80ppg.
 
Boston literally has the same margin of victory as the Sixers do with statistical outliers removed, yet are significantly better once you focus it to playoff teams only. Sixers beat shitty teams, congrats. They have to beat playoff teams to advance in the Playoffs.

Conspiracy theory: BNC has been propping up the 76ers and Rockets all year in case LeBron goes to either team in the offseason.

actually ben is

 

[CameronCrazy06]

actually ben is

Ben isn't in his first year in the league, thus he fails to meet the requirement of "first year player".

 

[bosoxlover12]

Best player from the 2017 Draft**
 
better way to avoid stupid semantics

actually ben is Roy and should be unanimous

 

[BNC]

Well if you hadn't corrected yourself, it would've been funnier as a sarcastic post haha

That’s what I was going for but it backfired when the Thunder started to close the gap immediately after posting it

 

[BNC]

So PG13 is the best player on the Thinder, right?

 

[Paulius]

This guy is really outdoing himself with every single post today lmao

Someone fetch this lost nephew

Take a day off dude, you’re clearly upset ha
