That's a sister instead of a brother, actually.Hey man can it be any more obvious that you are a serious ass kisser?
I've been called worse.Hey man can it be any more obvious that you are a serious ass kisser?
You'll find I'm known here for being nice. I call it as I see it. I don't waste my energy on the little things. It keeps me from stressing out and being mean. I can get nasty if I need to, but nice is more pleasant...and easier.
You'll also find I'm called "man" and "bro" here a lot.
I think that duncan228 deserves extra $50 vBookie for everytime SHE gets mistaken for a "bro"
Or at least keep a running tally placed below her avatar.
You mean duncan228 is a transves e?
I grew up in New England. Larry Bird is the reason I'm an NBA fan. I saw him play in the Garden in his rookie year. That's all it took.
And yes, if Duncan had been a Celtic I would be a Celtics fan today.
Hey man can it be any more obvious that you are a serious ass kisser?
He's a she. And why would you make a derogatory comment like that towards someone who doesn't ever do anything but be nice and gracious to people on this board?
Not enough assholes in the world to satisfy you? Spend more time with yourself.
Hes from Boston, why should it shock you.
I would have run out of room years ago!
And Kori gave me a Spur for it, that covers it forever for me.
First of all I didnt know duncan228 was a she. I was also joking hence the emotion. I have seen enough of her posts to notice that she is a real nice humble fan. You dont need to be all sensitive about it.
Every city has assholes. Spare me the lecture donkey s.
Assholes are plentiful on this board. We don't need you trying to make new converts of the non-assholes.
If you feel you need to interact with an asshole...just post.
wtf....Spare me the lecture donkey s
Hey I can make non-serious jokes too. Im shipping off to Boston woahhhhhhhhhh!
Whottt you bring that sarcastic yet rough edgy role of a poster to this board. I really find it interesting yet entertaining.
nice
Hey, it's good to have some wins, but still. The spurs are rested and are not playing top teams. This all can turn around as fast as it turned around previously.
Hopes hopes ... we are hoping that Stoudamire is better then he is, we are hoping for Elson to get his head back, and Bonner to be hustle productive. We want Udoka to be a PF, and even in today's NBA that scenario not paying of in the playoffs.
Like Pop says - it might work, it might not
Like Bruce says - you take what's given
Like Bruce says - it is what it is
Like I says - the spurs are the spurs
That's an insult to turnips.
simply said.. you just don't around with duncan228.. got it?
I always thought Pop moving Oberto out of the starting lineup was what hurt him.
So I too was impressed with this Blatche character last night. I walk over to my PC to check his line: 50% fg, 16pts 15rebs(5 offensive), 2 blocks, 1 steal, 1 ast, 2 to in 33 minutes and yet he has the second worst +/- on the team at -10?
WTF is up with that stat? People only seem to use it when it suits their purposes. Can someone explain how this stat can be useful if it seems so wrong in this instance?
While I agree Elson hasn't been good, with the way the west is shaping up with shaq and gasol, i think we need to keep as many big men as we can at this point. Or, if trading elson/bonner, get a solid big man. I think we have enough wings, but it would be fine by me if Elson/Bonner were used for 6 fouls each. Duncan will always man the middle for us, but if teams play big, we need to be ready for that too with our bench. But hey, considering what Pop said about willing to trade, maybe we'll get a solid big man (Haslem!)
+/- was never meant to be used to judge individual play on a game by game basis. People like to use it because it's a new and nifty stat...but that doesn't mean it's accurate in a single game context.
Most statisticians don't consider it an accurate measure of individual play until you have a sample size equal to two seasons worth of games....and that's taking into account that the supporting cast and minutes will be mostly the same over that period.
The supporting and opposing casts are huge factor in that number and that is the main reason it's inaccurate in a single game sample size. For example...all it takes to get a horrible +/- is for a player to be on the court while the other team makes a run and then not get any more minutes the rest of the game...due to foul trouble or a blow out etc...
There hasn't been a player born that hasn't happened to at one point or another....
Guys at the end of the bench, or without a defined role in the rotation are going to have the worst +/- on the team, and I'd be willing to bet you can see that trend on every team in the league, regardless of the differing levels of talent.
It's not meant to be used at all as a judge of individual play on a single game basis.
Yet people quote this stat all the time within the context of individual games. If it is only statistically significant over a 2 year sample size having stable teammates/opponents, then it's pretty pointless to publish it with every boxscore.
Well, I'm not saying for certain it's only signifigant then...but that is what some some statisticians claim. I'd say you need a third of the season minimum before you start giving it relevance, but yeah...it's definitely not a single game stat.
