Game Grades - Celtics @ Spurs - December 14th, 2016

[Cry Havoc]

The 2 best players got the lowest grades. Dude is a reddit gots. Straight up. I don't give a what he he thinks about expectations. That is unacceptable.

Your anger is all the validation I need for proof that my grades are right where they need to be. Thanks for the confidence.

Thanks for the grades man.

Yeah, I feel DG could have done a better job on AB. I don't agree with Leonard's grade though.

I'll be honest - I barely missed Aldridge this game. Lee did a great job replacing him.

RD is my nigg' but I disagree on dat one, I liked reading those game grades with breakdown per quarter and the touch at the end about other news in the NBA

What about the ty ing grades though? Very hipster.

Did your gf help you out?

Thanks for the writeup!

How sad is it that you need to come into a thread about the Spurs game last night and try to get attention?

Good God dude. How insecure are you that you have to make this personal?

[dabom]

The best player in the NBA without LMA owned the Celtics and closed them out. A ing C? So hipster'y.

I asked a simple question. Didn't think you would act like a lil durbeta.

[tonight...you]

What is up with people being called "Hipster"?
Is that some new insult now?

Has nothing to do with being a Repub and calling him a liberal/hipster. He is a redditer neck beard hipster.

Grading players on what you expect of them is stupid... imagine a professor grading students like that

You did all the work. But you a genius so you get a C. Everyone else put in zero work but get A's and B's.

First of all, they do that, it's called a curve.

Second of all, that's arguably a better way to do it, since at that point it becomes purely about effort rather than talent.

Thirdly, if you don't advocate a curve, well , I'll do game grades for every player for the rest of the season in 5 minutes since they're going to stay basically the same from game to game.

You expect more out of your superstars. That wasn't close to one of Kawhi's best games of the season. Should we just give him an A+ every game and be done with it?

[dabom]

C is barely passing. Watch the ing game next time or adjust your expectation.

If you give him a B, it's subjective but it ain't ing moronic.

Is OP lost? Didn't he trash this place and claim reddit is better?

He gets downvoted a lot on reddit too.

Also posts top-notch observations.

[Laughing Gravy]

He also took a couple of bad shots early in possessions at the end of the game when he should have been burning clock.

That's not what a curve is dude are you serious? If a D student writes a C paper he doesn't get an A on a curve system unless everyone else bombed also.

And yea most of his games would be A games compared to the rest of the league.

Spurstalk has been grading on a curve since game grades were a thing... i don't know why people still don't get it.

If I graded all players the same Kawhi would definitely have been an A, but Patty would have gotten a D for last game.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think he knows what a Curve System is.

Because that is not a curve

It's an individual curve. It's also pretty simple to understand.
