@beatingthebook going to go out on a limb here and say Darius Garland would have put up better 10/6/3. Harden should be pulling splinters out his cheeks from sitting on the pine.
@beatingthebook does Atkinson even have the testicular fortitude to sit Harden? Cavs offenses is a tough to watch as the Pistons offense, which is wild to think Spida and Jimbo are allegedly great scorers.
@beatingthebook perhaps the NBA is just devoid of actual elite players when they are faced with a real defensive scheme. I believe this bleeds into the coaching too. J.B, Atkinson, Joe, Adelman, all rolling out the same ol same ol every game.
@beatingthebook for the Con Smythe. Taking Boldy/hughes or Kaprizov if you like the Wild have to be comparable as taking Embiid to winning the ECF MVP when they were tied 3-3 to the Celtics.
@beatingthebook watching the arrogance with Adelman and him mortgaging Jokic in the third to get the lead or tie for his 4th quarter legs proved said arrogance. Denver unceremoniously fired Malone for less egregious coaching than Adelman did this series.
@beatingthebook I thought the same thing about the WCC teams. Also, we have west to east travel here as well. St Mary’s and Zaga just don’t seem nearly athletic as they looked against inferior competition
@beatingthebook nothing better than tailing a tennis play, yelling at my phone because Yannick let a double break slip through his hands already down set.
@beatingthebook I know your algorithm for the winner of the tournament stands true. But since the rankings change as they win games in the tournament, what is the preflop percentage of your algorithm to determine a winner?
@beatingthebook not only did I hammer Emiliana the plus money. But after watching her take control the first set. I was able to get her up 6-5 even money live. Now that’s a Monday.
@beatingthebook just wait until Darryn plays 36 minutes in all of the Big 12 tournament and the NCAA. Then all the big media talking heads will call him a genius.
