  1. I just hope it is a day because we know what happens "in the shoe, at night"
  2. steph would still extend the defense and allow for the bigs to have more room to operate. he would also shoot 18 to 20 footers at a higher clip than 40% maybe even close to 50%. he is, to me, a pretty damn good ballhandler as well. great shooters are great shooters no matter the era.
  3. https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=nba+league+average+2+point+shooting+percentage+by+season+1971-72+to+2020-21 this is 1971 to 2021 league wide 2 point percentage by season. basically it hit a bit above 49% early to mid 80's and then dropped back to 45-46% which is where it is now. be interesting to see 50's and 60's but I bet the percentage is around 43-44% back then maybe lower. I couldn't find by year history on 3point but here it is by decade https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nba-league-wide-three-point-percentage-by-decade It was 29% in the 80's and then has been basically 35-36% for 90's on with a small 1.5% improvement overall. I can see the improvement from 80's being 3 things, college didn't adopt until 1986(even though line was/is shorter you still practiced longer shots), NBA coaches starting to run more plays to get open 3 point looks, and valuing a deep shooter in the draft more.
  4. yep. I can see Shaq being LA because it was his prime but Wilt is non-LA. I was just doing starters and trying not to just pick the 5 best but also by role. It is difficult because you have 2 eras. pre 3 pointer and post 3 pointer. My 3 pointer era team would be different than 2 pointer era. I tried to deal with it in the aggregate as best I could. I leaned 2 pointer a) because I'm old and b) I have a sense if people like Kareem and Wilt grew up in this era they probably would have learned to shoot from outside more. during the 2 pointer era there was no need for them to play outside 10 feet.
  5. That's right Rotney! and we are doing yoeman's work making all those SEC teams "tournament teams"
  6. Part of me thinks CDC would just LOVE to go after Oats. 18M is steep but if it was next year I think absolutely 10M is on the table. it is one of the 2 revenue sports and #1 seems to be doing OK. you have a brand new arena. Announce your presence...
  7. OK some points 1. Texas doesn't need to "take a flier" 2. CDC has a history of hiring coaches at Texas now, besides Sark(not totally his call), he has a type 3. Ben McCollum doesn't seem to be that type. Ben McCollum, seems to be a very good coach and who knows, could be come Jim Tressel but I don't think CDC is gonna take that chance after Terry. 4. We need to see the season end and thank Terry for his service. 5. my bet is we ask Few and then move to Lloyd
  8. this. I suppose if the exercise is their Laker selves MAYBE. I think the Laker list should be for guys who played most of their career there. LBJ is a gun for hire. Shaq is somewhat questionable 19 years in the league with 8 at LAL. it was his absolute prime though. I'd go West, Kobe, Kareem, Magic, Baylor vs MJ, Bird, Wilt, LBJ, Robertson. Russell/Wilt is potentially a tie.
  9. I will be glad when that pussy bitch Green retires.
  10. I didn't know my calendar had folks. wonder if has kids too.
  11. I think 7-11 is pretty low shot now with the home loss to ark. I guess aggy and Mizzou are decent wins but that's it.
  12. Ole Miss just made the tournament.
  13. Calhoun is/was a cheater for sure. Donovan belongs in not a choir boy/could be asshole IMO but yeah. Bennett and Wright seem to be closest to good guy and no cheater status.
  14. Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas could end up being a pretty apt comparison. Remains to be seen how it plays out but Orioles won the world series, Robinson hit for the Triple Crown and Reds went from 4th place to 7th.
  15. I consider it year 3. he got the job based on year 1.
  16. no tongue in the handshake line I guess. 3 more games to watch Tre Johnson at home.
  17. It's really not Rodney Terry's fault he took the offer to make millions of dollars we made him. His buddies from his time with Barnes got him paid. This was always going to be the result.
  18. we have to go 4-1 in the last 5 just to get to 8 wins. I give that about 1% chance with this crew.
  19. was hoping the winner against aggy would have unlocked Mark but he's amazingly gotten worse against was already a poor season.
  20. vandy could have made up for it, but those 2 losses made it almost impossible.
  21. the third year to end. we are required by law to a) hire Rodney Terry because reasons and b) wait 3 years to fire Rodney Terry.
  22. 90% of the time the "reports of death threats" are bullshit. it is a sympathy/shiny object play.
