I guess it's just funny people cannot comprehend what they can't see like at all

[will @_W1II_]

this guy is a clown but besides that it really shocks me how foreign expected points and shot quality is to NBA people. Expected numbers are heavily used in baseball and soccer and imo they are a lot less reliable in those sports than basketball

Josh Hart on the Cavs:

“Analytically speaking, we weren’t there for game 5. So technically, they’re up 3-2. Analytically speaking.”

(via @Roommates__Show, @playmaker)

[will @_W1II_]

I guess it just comes down to availability. People cannot see those numbers because ShotQuality the company pay walls them to basically just organizations and college teams and nobody else publicizes calculations like baseball savant or finding xG on fotmob or whatever

I don't even want him on this team it would just be ideal if he weren't in Detroit

[will @_W1II_]

what does this even solve

[NBATRADERUMORS @NBATRADERUMORS8]

REPORT: The Detroit Pistons have had trade talks with the Cleveland Cavaliers on a trade swap that would send Max Strus to Detroit and Isaiah Stewart to Cleveland, per sources.

@jsnfann exactly and having spacers at the 4 or 5 is basically a cheat code if you can get a guy who can drive

@Marinersplswin @DaronHoImesll you learn to live with it it's not that bad

[will @_W1II_]

does this have the one ball theory or something cause how is this not 75 wins

[will @_W1II_]

acting like the NFL isn't doing the same shit is hilarious. And you can negotiate that into a cap anyways

[Rational Yankees Fan @rationalyankee]

“Tie the cap to league revenue” sounds fair until you realize owners spent 30 years engineering what counts as league revenue.

The Braves don’t just sell tickets. They own The Battery. Mixed-use development. Hotels. Restaurants. Parking. None of it counts as baseball related revenue.

Cubs own the rooftops across from Wrigley. Rangers built Globe Life District. Cardinals own Ballpark Village. The Mets are building a casino.

The players fill those seats and attract the fans. The players make that real estate valuable. The players are the product that turns a parking lot into a $500M development.

But Freddie Freeman’s contract counts against the cap. The Battery’s hotel revenue doesn’t count toward the pool.

The NFL cap works because owners can’t spin gate revenue into a shell LLC and hide it from the players. MLB owners can and do.

A cap tied to “league revenue” in baseball is a ceiling built on a rigged floor.

is this supposed to be about hamilton? LMFAO

[Joel Hammond @joelhammond]

This will be unpopular.

But this is a wildly recurring theme for a guy who has simply gotten too big to fail.

He repeatedly makes himself part of a story his employer wants no part of. (Trust me.)

But he knows he’s Teflon.

but those things don't help Bryce harper so they don't care

exactly the PA is really stupid to not use the owners commitment to concede pretty much anything for a cap

[Joshua Froess @AngryStatsGuy]

The MLBPA should be using the owners push for a cap to help the majority of MLB players (who make the minimum). You should be willing to accept a cap for 2 things imo:

1. Free agency after three years (eliminating arbitration).
2. Increase in MLB minimum salaries.

the entire podcast and everything said in it was completely scripted by rich Paul I can't believe anyone takes it serious

[jack @TheCavsJack]

DG becoming a Cavs hate watcher was always a possibility but it just sucks to see happen in real time

Can speak about the injuries and the possible delusion but the real cap is him saying he didn’t watch most of the playoff run, he was 100% tuned in to get some self-validation.

[will @_W1II_]

Good hit from bazzana but the ABs were bad. You can have the bat on your shoulders until 2 strikes because doval doesn't know where it's going. He threw like 2 strikes in 3 ABs

[will @_W1II_]

BAZZANA

[will @_W1II_]

yeah I'm bunting every time vs doval there's no way he's a good fielder

[will @_W1II_]

quickest challenge of all time

[will @_W1II_]

I mean that's not fucking close that was obvious in real time

Does kawhi leonard know this

[Fullcourtpass @Fullcourtpass]

Kawhi Leonard WILL be discussed in trade discussions this summer, per @JakeLFischer
