2016-17 Running NBA Thread

I don't follow NBA betting, but how often do you see an O/U of 242 like tonight between GS and Houston?

Our telecast just flashed a stat that no team in history had attempted 50 three-pointers in a game before this season. The rockets have done it five times.

 

And the suckitude of the Warriors continues with a win over Houston tonight. How can a team this bad beat Cleveland, OKC and Houston in three straight games?

 

Imaginary post, yada yada yada. You're on Dick's beat now.

 

Do they have relegation in the NBA? The Warriors might be a candidate.

 

My God, ESPN with the Westbrook-not-starting-the-All-Star-Game outrage. This is Day 3 of this.

 

They are going to need a vacation soon. Durant and Thompson are going to take a few games off and go to Cabo

 

GS shot 32 for 51 inside the arc. At what point is shooting 2's more effective than 3

I do understand that the more the 3 is defended, the more available the 2 becomes.

 

So, who took over-242?

 

(sheepishly raises hand).........
took both sides.

Oh well.

 

Hoisted up 61 against the Pelicans earlier this year.

 

Watched a quarter and a half or so and my god how the NBA has changed ... complete lack of consciousness when it comes to run 'n' gun and hoist them 3's!

 

I know it seems like we are piling on LTL (we are). But you can't just look at the record to determine their success relative to last year.

If I went down to the local high school track on January 21, 2016 and ran a 8:00 mile; then ran a 8:18 mile this year, i can say I have gotten worse.

But in the NBA, the other teams change. Some have gotten better, some worse. My local high school track didn't change at all.

I look at the standings, and GS is 3 games better than the Spurs. I have no interest in looking that up last year at this time, but I would guess it is somewhere around the same distance.
