2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[JD617]

There've been ebbs and flows in the pace of the game throughout the league's history. Has very little to do with the shot clock rule. The pace had been steadily increasing for years before they put that rule in place. Teams were not running the full 24 after an offensive rebound unless it was towards the end of the game and they were protecting a lead. The pace of the game was faster in 1990 than in 2022.

Seriously though, who is running/lurking Statmuse from NT?

These convos usually hit Twitter first and then make their way over here

Nevermind it was clown Perk that started this nonsense.

 

[elpablo21]

ngl but NT does start every popular debate that hits social media

Just like we discovered Rosa Acosta first

Portland should be a fun team. Also excited to see Dame hooping again.

 

[ballinsam23]

Nah.
Adjust for minutes played.
Adjust for way more transition opportunities in the 80/90s because you were sending 4 to the offensive glass.
Adjust how you had to hard double or it wasn’t illegal defense.

Those are all in game coaching adjustments. Not rule changes.

You are literally creating extra possessions because of a rule change.

This thread steals a lot of material from r/nba, too. Like, A LOT.

Kawhi getting them checks by any means

Examples? I had to download the Reddit app in order to get an answer to something and now it periodically sends me random notifications for r/‘s that I have visited (so I get them from r/NBA and r/Peloton ). Not sure when the posts originated but the notifications usually come a couple hours after it’s hit the news/Twitter so I would think they are probably the same as NT (as opposed to NTers stealing material from them).

But we have seen crazier from folks on here so who knows

 

[akajae]

I figured it all comes from Twitter nowadays

 

[youngwolf]

Examples?

From jokes to takes, there's a ton, but the one that stuck out the most to me was when someone in here, just out of the blue, asked if Lonzo was the worst shooter in the NBA. It was completely off topic, so I went over to r/nba, and not only do I see a post stating that Lonzo was the worst shooter in the NBA, but the first reply to the question here was the top comment in the reddit post.

NT made Rosa Acosta a thing. She owes us

The traceability there is what confuses me because I usually see most of his memes on Twitter 12-24 hours before they make it here. Lots of them are from that “NBA Memes” account so but I am not sure if they are linked to reddit or what.

Meth is going to have to start filtering posts through Scribbr or Turnitin to make sure dudes aren’t plagiarizing from other platforms

Real talk, she would be nothing without us

She needs to show her gratitude to each and every one of us...........by buying everyone a washer and dryer set

Btw….if you or anyone know…

Is it true NT made the Jordan crying meme?

Who is the better playoff performer? Who has better playoff stats?

Bean played 100 more playoff games. The stats are a bit skewed b/c of his first 2 seasons where he didn't start yet was in the playoffs. Comparisons with them as starters would be more apt, but even without removing those the numbers are comparable.

Show me a better stretch that Wardell has over him than what he did from 08-10. 3 straight trips to the finals, league MVP, 2 chips, 2 FMVPs. Bean AVERAGED 30/6/6 on 46/35/85 in those playoff runs.

Y'all don't want to use the longevity argument, there use your peak of powers one.
