no son here is the difference you cuckold ...
you guys were trying to rank the Spurs ahead of the Hornets and claiming it was based on "records alone". However you failed to mention that both teams have the exact same record, but the Hornets win the tie breaker due to their win over the Spurs. by you ranking the Spurs ahead of the Hornets and claiming its "based on records alone" shows homerism ... I simply pointed out the FACTS and those facts just so happen to be in my favor. both teams are 11-1, but the Hornets get the nod by having that beat down over the Spurs.
Not sure if I'd call the Hornets win over the Spurs a "curb stomping." We were within 3 late in the 4th.
A couple of missed shots and intentional fouls inflated the Hornets scoring margin relative to how the game actually went (that's my subjective take, at least).
The game was closer than the margin indicates, in my opinion.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next Hornets-Spurs match up, though.
son regardless though the Hornets went into San Antonio and the final score was 99-90 ... had it have been the other way around you guys would be claiming "we owned the Hornets" ... just accept it. now the pressure is on you guys to come into the Hive and try to beat us.
Girl, the only difference is the disgusting blatant homerism being spewed by out of your hateful mouth.
Hata's gon' hate. You just another. Hatin' Homer.
lol son are you really resulting to that??? ... come on now son I'm just spitting out facts for you. don't be mad its very early in the season. I hate to say this, but you're acting like a Mav fan right now ... you're better than that.
Bellineli = Manu is facts? GTFO with that weak trash sons. Just pack your bags, and GTFO.
THe only fact here is you are becoming the ST version of freebies for Dirk in the 4th quarter. Just garbage.
son Belinelli is just as good, IF NOT BETTER than Manu this season ... that bald spot boy is falling off. he had a damn good run though.
lol you cuck, post the side by side stats or stop postin. K, thanks.
lol son I can't wait till Sunday ...
Exactly. I ask you post facts, and you run away. You are like a Mav fan right now. Just sad son. God bless you and your road to recovery.
I wouldn't. I'm sure many spurs fans might come to that conclusion based on final score alone, but you have to realize that it's more complicated than that.
Case in point -
Consider team A and team B. Score is 100 (A) - 97 (B) with 40 seconds left in regulation.
Team B attempts a 3 point shot - misses - and team A snags the rebound. B fouls immediately with 31 seconds left.
Team A makes two free throws, pushing the score to 102 - 97.
Repeat - Team B again attempts a 3, misses, and fouls team A intentionally. Score is 104-97, and finally they let time run out.
I'd wager most people would agree that teams A and B had a pretty even game with team A having a true (effective) scoring margin of 3 - not 7. That 7 point win is really an inflated figure - it's the "price" team B pays for having two attempts to close the gap (and potentially win the game).
Alternatively, team B could have just given up and let time run down while they were down only 3, but obviously given the fact that only wins/losses matter when it comes to standings and playoff seeding, this would be an absolutely idiotic move.
What I described is one of the major criticisms I have with considering scoring margin alone, because clearly it's more complex than that. It's difficult for formulas and models to take factors like this into account.
That said, the point I was making with regards to your post was the fact that winning 99-90 doesn't tell the entire story. You have to consider the cir stances near the end of the game in order to make a better qualitative assessment of how two teams match up.
I agree the Hornets matched up better against the Spurs that night - I'm not taking away from your win. I wouldn't call it a curb stomping, though.
Hollinger could fix his formula. Just look at historical data for the past ten years and tweak the formula so the team that won the championship ends up #1 in the power ranking and you have a valid formula. Of course it can't be perfect due to things like injuries but if he could tweak the formula so that accurately predicts the champion 8 out of 10 years he might have something worth paying attention to. As it stands now his power rankings are meaningless except for statistics nerds.
lol please. we all know Manu has sexy stats ... are you really basing everything on his stats? have you forgotten ALREADY that it was YOU who was trying to LIE and boost the Spurs into 1st place by covering up the facts?
son you are weak. you need to realize this isn't 2005 anymore. Manu has nice numbers simply because he plays 32-35min per game. that bald white boy is done.
